Roses for Anderson, Salomon wedding
October 6, 2007 - 9:00 pm
Pamela Anderson and her high roller boyfriend Rick Salomon are getting married today in Las Vegas, sources confirmed on Friday.
According to a source, Anderson put in a call to her florist, requesting "all the pink roses you can get."
Anderson, 40, and Salomon, 39, were granted a marriage license in Las Vegas last Saturday and rumors flew that they were getting married at the Little White Wedding Chapel.
However, they were spotted outside a wedding chapel Thursday night at Planet Hollywood Resort, where she stars as Hans Klok's assistant in "The Beauty of Magic."
Anderson and Klok showed up at the Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas for a ceremonial Oktoberfest keg-tapping on Friday before their show, but Anderson rushed away without talking to reporters.
Earlier this week, Anderson toyed with a reporter, saying "I'm not really engaged. I don't know what I am ... we may never get that far," according to Contactmusic.com.
The couple is well known for separate sex tapes; hers with former husband Tommy Lee and his with Paris Hilton, which reportedly netted Salomon more than $8 million in sales.
