Pam Anderson Puts Malibu Beach House Up for Rent

OWNER: Pam Anderson
LOCATION: Malibu, CA
PRICE: $20,000/week or $75,000/month
SIZE: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms (plus a backyard wigwam)

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: A little birdie out in the Bu came chirp-chirping along this morning to let Your Mama know that bodacious (h)actress Pam Anderson has put her recently completed "Romantic Malibu Beach House" up for lease on the Vacation Rental By Owner website (VRBO) at the sky-high but not unheard for Malibu rates of $20,000 per week or $75,000 per month.

Back in the fall of 2009 there were scads of scandalous reports that Miz Anderson–then living in Malibu's trendiest trailer park while her house in the Colony was under (re-)construction–had fallen on hard financial times and didn't have the dough-re-mi to complete the multi-million dollar renovations. Miz Anderson admitted she was in dispute with a number of subcontractors who filed legal claims over unpaid bills for work they performed at the residence but denied the issue wasn't whether she could afford to pay the bills or not, but rather whether the bills were fair and accurate.

A personal note from Miz Anderson on the VRBO listing declares the curvaceous sexpot and mother of two is "willing to share her [my] masterpiece" in Malibu because she's "traveling so much these days" and "enjoying a lot more time in her [my] native Canada."

Listing information shows the teak-sided and pet-friendly contemporary sits on the landward-side of the guard-gated and celebrity stocked Malibu Colony enclave, includes 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms and was decorated by Miz Anderson herself. Given that the listing photos are so high contrast and bizarrely blown out Your Mama's boozy eyeballs cain't make heads or tails of the interior spaces other than to say that white appears to be the dominant color, if white can indeed be a color.

A discreet gate at the street leads to a small front courtyard where listing information states an "ultra-wide swinging door" opens to the teak-floored open-plan interior spaces that include an airy living room with fireplace, baby grand piano and massive sliding glass doors that when open obliterate the division between indoors and out. The well-equipped kitchen has high-grade appliances and push activated cabinets and drawers.

A teak staircase climbs to the second floor where two guest/family bedrooms each have computer desks, flat screen HD tee-vees with surround sound and wireless Apple systems. The bedrooms share a bathroom with steam shower.

The master suite, also on the second floor, has a white marble wood-burning fireplace, burled wood closet doors, a wall of sliding windows that open to a large private deck that overlooks the backyard swimming pool and mountains. The bedroom is open to the bathroom just in case anyone wants to watch their bed-mate bathe in the free standing soaking tub that's plainly visible from the bedroom. There's also a glass-enclosed shower, detoxifying Finnish sauna equipped with tee-vee–what wants to watch the damn news or reality television while taking a sauna?–and a long vanity with plenty of room for perfumes and make-up applications.

A private staircase accessible only through the master bedroom climbs up to a roof terrace with poured concrete fireplace, views over the Malibu Lagoon and media mogul Jerrold Perenchio's private golf course.

A deep deck with a "green egg charcoal barbecue"extends off the rear of the residences main floor and surrounds a saltwater swimming pool with swim-up wet bar. The backyard also has a "huge tipi"–whatever that is–fig and avocado trees, a vegetable and herb garden, and a wigwam. That's right, a wigwam.

Other amenities include two-car enclosed garage, direct and nearby access to one of the most prized (and all but private) stretches of sand in all of Malibu, celebrity-style security complete with closed-circuit cameras, WiFi, an integrated home theater system and a high-tech home automation system controlled by custom remotes and iPads set into flush-mounted iPorts. The high monthly price covers housekeeping services and a vegetarian chef can be added for additional charges.

$75k...a MONTH? Isn't that some sort of record!? Absurd.

Too bad the pool photo doesn't show the platinum tiles (reportedly just one of the extravagances that ran up the bills). Overall, I'm surprised she has a relatively tasteful home, with not a sex swing in sight.

I read in an article from 2006 that the house was remodeled prior to her buying it and that she refurbished it further after moving in. Now she's spent additional Million$ for more renovations on a house that measures all of 2,300 sq ft she doesn't plan to live in. How/why do you spend multiple millions renovating 2,300 sq ft for the 3rd time to rent it out? An investment wizard she's not. Thanks Mama.

$75000/month and it is not even on the beachside? no thanks

The only way she will get this rent is if she "shares" her bedroom with the male tenant...meaning she is on the other side of the queen mattress.

WTF on the photography... like trying to hide something.

On other notes looks fabulous and tasteful but the price on the wrong side of the street is pipe dreams

Pam's no fool. She won't get 75k a month, but she'll get a renter whose rent will pay the bills (both the houses and Ms Anderson's).

Pam bought the place more than 10 years ago for $1.6 million, it's held in a trust.

She and her sons live on Vancouver Island at her waterfront home, they go to an excellent school and Pam is very well liked in the community, does lots of local charity work and is kind to the locals, she's a regular person there.

I have always had a soft spot for her, she's no dumb blond. It's taken her some time but she's getting her financial house in order. Rock on Pam.

Perhaps a tipi is the new "in" word for teepee (or tepee). Wigwams and tipis. Why the hell not?

Sounds as sensible as a white marble fireplace.

Yuk!
