on Pamela Anderson's failed 4-month marriage with Kid Rock that appears

you name it," a source who watched the film with Pam and the rocker revealed.
"It was horrible, and she was just so hurt by it." A source close to Robert
Ritchie confirmed the incident, saying, "Yes, he was angry. He thought
it was cheap that she put something like that out there. He didn't see
the humor."[see full story for more]- Click
