Jenna Jameson's likeness gets some fine-tuning at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas.
Anticipating the subject at hand, Pamela Anderson wore a wedding veil to her pamelapoker.com launch party Wednesday.
A media horde was at the Rio to talk about her and Kid Rock's wedding Saturday on the French Riviera.

The former "Baywatch" star unveiled a few of the details in between talking up her gaming Web site arrangement with poker icon Doyle Brunson.
"We are going to have a couple of weddings," said Anderson, 39. "We have to do Malibu. We have to do Detroit. And we are going to do Nashville. We are starting (this weekend) in the south of France."
There are questions about whether the celebrity couple is actually getting married Saturday. French law requires couples to live in France for 30 days before getting married. When asked to clarify that issue, Anderson responded, "We're all good."
Anderson looked as if she was on her way to a wacky wedding, and there have been rumors all week that she and Rock planned to get hitched in Las Vegas.
In addition to the veil, she wore a large faux diamond on her head and tossed a bouquet of roses into the crowd of reporters. When someone said she appeared quite calm for a bride-to-be, she replied, "I have two words for you: cham ... pagne."
Anderson will be on the dais for tonight's roast of Brunson at the Bellagio. Brad Garrett will emcee the event honoring Brunson, 73, the winner of 10 World Series of Poker bracelets.
Anderson is scheduled to fly back to Los Angeles at midnight and leave Friday for St. Tropez.
