If anyone can actually believe this, Pamela Anderson is turning 40 on July 1st. The Baywatch babe hit Fort Lauderdale Vegan restaurant Sublime to blow out candles on a vegan birthday cake for a pre-birthday bash. Anderson appeared at the restaurant back in 2003 when it opened to help promote business. She joined PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk and Sublime owner Nanci Alexander, who is the founder and president of the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida.

Anderson's black Lincoln Towncar was stormed by photographers and autograph hounds when it pulled up behind Sublime. After a quick photo shoot in front of a red carpet backdrop inside the restaurant, Anderson was then escorted into a private party. Only a few TV stations got interviews, one of them being Extra TV. The party, which lasted 6-8 p.m., ended right about 8 p.m., for Anderson. When she was escorted back to her car, a handful of shutterbugs and autograph hounds were still waiting. While she had no interest in doing more interviews, I have to say Anderson does seem to want to accomodate her fans. She signed every Playboy issue and photo the fans were holding. While it screwed up my night as far as getting an interview, I think it was still cool of her to acknowledge the 20-something to middle aged men still drooling over her.
