When will it ever end? The misjudgment concerning the very attractive BW alumni verses their acting ability on part of those who are not BW fans! In the September 23 issue of 'Girls on Film,' that concentrates on women in the film industry, there is a section for TV message boards. There is a list of TV shows with their own message boards. Just choose a show from the drop down menu. Entering the message board for 'Law & Order' was a shock as to a remark that was made from a fan of the show. This fan mentions that they had hired Angie Harmon, 'that woman from Baywatch Nights.' This fan also remarked that she hoped that 'they knew what they were doing.'

It was apparent that most non-Baywatch fans have never seen Angie act. Despite her attractiveness, she is a fine actress! Can't viewers just admit that you can be good looking and act as well? This isn't the first time that this has happened. No sir! A similar incident happened when the lovely actress Jeri Ryan (who portrays 'Seven of Nine') was hired and added to the cast of 'Star Trek: Voyager' to replace the departing favorite Jennifer Lien (who portrayed Kess). So much strongly voiced disapproval was made over her being hired for the show rather than her acting ability. Star Trek fans hadn't even seen her act yet! After she proved herself with outstanding performances on the show, the apologies started pouring in for Jeri from the Trek fans. They could admit when they were wrong for misjudging her.

Well, when 'Law & Order' premiered on Wednesday, September 23, Angie gave a very strong performance and after a few more episodes, maybe she too will see apologies as well as admirers outside of her original BW alumni. On behalf of Angie, we must say that she has certainly more than proved herself on the episode introduction of her character. Anyone who saw the show is welcomed to comment about this on the message board.

Those of you BW fans who are still looking for the 'White Thunder at Glacier Bay' video! Well, the current cost of the video is $99.00 and is almost non-existent. You could just choke to death on the cost alone! However, there will be a re-release of the video around October 13th. 'Blockbuster Video' can order it for you to purchase! The cost will be around $10.00. This is more in the area of affordable! (Thanks to Fred H. for the information)

Well, the 9th season of Baywatch has started and many of you out there have already seen it. Well, what are your thoughts? Did you like it? What did you like about it? Is it everything that you expected? Let us know your opinion about the new format on the message board! We would like to hear from you! We would like to stimulate some conversation here!

Pamela Anderson Lee is very busy with her new show 'V.I.P.!' She also is the Executive Producer. You will get your chance to view the premier episode over the weekend!

Pamela made an appearance on Jay Leno's 'Tonight Show'/NBC on Thursday, September 24. She was dressed in a huge platinum blonde Afro (We mean HUGE) hairdo. It must have been at least 12 inches tall standing on her head accented with a silver bow! She also had on a silver metallic gown. Thank goodness that when Jay asked her if she is seeing Tommy Lee now that he is out of jail, Pam said, 'No-I haven't seen him.' She has started dating again. On the cover of the current issue of 'DETAILS' magazine, she duplicated Farrah Fawcett's blockbuster 70's poster pose in a red tank swimsuit. The magazine wanted her to do it. Jay also mentioned her appearance on most of her magazine cover assignments. They are very subdued. Not as flashy as they once were. Pam says that she is a Mom now and she has more subdued covers. And thank goodness she got the tattoo around her finger changed from Tommy to Mommy! The guy had his chance-twice and just blew it!

Pamela is also featured in a small article in the September 25 issue of 'Entertainment' magazine. It is a small article. You might also want to check out the 1998 October issue of 'Cosmopolitan' magazine. Pam graces the cover in a black leather dress. Her makeup is very subdued here. You might have to do a double take to recognize her. She does look a bit different.

Traci Bingham is on the 1998 October cover of 'Ebony' Magazine. It would have been nice if the photo of her had graced the page alone. But she had to share the cover with other female stars to watch. At least her photo takes up a page in the article featured in the magazine. A word on her feature film 'Foolish' will be released next year. We will keep our eyes peeled for the release date.

This announcement will be repeated until the 'Lee National Denim Day' campaign ends. This is so important for all of you ladies out there! And for all of you guys who love and care about them! Wear a pink Breast Cancer Ribbon Pin to support Breast Cancer Research. Yasmine Bleeth appears in several 1998 September and October magazines in an ad for 'Lee National Denim Day.' A campaign for Breast Cancer that runs through October 9. The ad can be found easiest in many women's and fashion magazines like the 1998 October issue of 'INSTYLE.' Yasmine's lost her Mother to Breast Cancer before Yasmine was 21 years old.

    Wendie Malick states in the 1998 October issue of 'US' magazine that her Mother was a model and she had to watch her weight, so as a kid Wendie ate healthy food. It looks like she followed in her footsteps early in her career! Today, her diet consists of stir-fry vegetables and grilled fish. She eats two cookies per day. She also says that you have to pick and choose your vises-do it moderately and you'll be O.K.

    Carmen Electra wears a lot of wild outfits! She is 'US' magazine and featured in the 'Bellies' section of 'Faces and Places.' She has the deepest and most cut out outfit of anyone on the page!

    Pamela Anderson Lee's new syndicated show V.I.P. will premier on the weekend of September 26! The show is distributed by Tri-Star Television. Get those VCR's ready for the fall season!

    9/10/98

    Carmen Electra is in the September 14 issue of 'People' magazine. This is the magazine's 'Best and Worst Dressed.' She made the worst dressed list. She is on the cover with other stars decked out in a pink outfit that other magazines got a shot of and wondered what happened!

    Billy Warlock is in the issue of 'Soap Opera Update.' He is not dating right now and is content with his life as it is. Billy says that he is not a total hermit, but that his life is not complicated right now since he is not in a relationship. He can come home to his own space and just plop in front of the TV set if he wants to.

    TV show premier dates starts with Wendie Malick of NBC's 'Just Shoot Me.' The wonderful sitcom returns for its 3rd season on Tuesday, September 22nd. The rest of the stunning cast includes Laura San Giacomo as Maya, Enrico Colantoni as Elliot, David Spade as Finch and George Segal as Jack.

    Angie Harmon joins the cast of 'Law and Order'/NBC on Wednesdays this fall. The show premiers on September 23rd for its 9th season, making the hit show the longest network TV drama. Angie will be portraying the tough Texan Abbie Carmichael, a Narcotics Division Transfer. Carey Lowell portrayed assistant District Attorney Jamie Ross and has departed to spend more time with her 8 year-old daughter Hannah and Beau Richard Gere. We hate to see departures happen this way, but it is a great break for Angie.

    And of Course don't forget Baywatch's 9th season premier! It starts on the week of September 21st. Get those VCR's out and ready to go! Mitch gets unhitched from his new bride Neely. Jennifer Campbell will be replacing Gena Lee Nolin in the role. We wished they had have worked something out with Gena Lee (even 6 episodes per year would have been good. Well, you can't have everything). And Lifeguards and coast Guards join forces after a 747 crashes at sea with April and Cody on board. We will see how they handle what seems like a remake of 'Race Against Time.' It was also a 2-parter!

    8/31/98

    Traci Bingham is on the cover of the 1998 September issue of 'BlackMen' magazine. She also has a detailed article inside. Great full shots of Traci! She is pretty busy these days! Read on!

    Traci has just finished shooting a feature film called 'The Beach Movie.' She portrayed a beach babe chasing after a Hollywood director in order to get a part in his upcoming film and win a bikini contest.

    Traci tied the knot on Saturday, August 29th with fiance songwriter Robert Vallier. The couple wed in Traci's hometown Cambridge, Mass. She had Baywatch cast members Gena Lee Nolin and Carmen Electra serve as 2 of her 10 bridesmaids. ET gave a view of the wedding dress. White silk sleeveless tank-style bodice with a deep 'V' in both front and back that ended in 'pedals.' The bodice was decorated all over with beads (hand beaded in India). Beautiful! We also got a look at the tiara that she was going to wear as a headdress! (Thanks to Linda for the information)

Gena, her husband Greg Fahlman and their son Spencer went to Ixtapa, Mexico. They all had a peaceful TV-less and phoneless time. Nice photo of the trio!

    **Traci Bingham is set to film a movie called 'Foolish' with Master P. More details about the movie and when it is scheduled for release are to be announced. Thanks to Linda for the information posted on the Review's Message Board.

    **Yasmine Bleeth's brown tresses are featured among many blondes in are a favorite in the 1998 November issue 'Sophisticate's Hairstyles.'

    **Pamela Anderson Lee has been spotted with old boyfriend Kelly Slater lately. Ex-husband Tommy Lee, who now spends a lot of his confined days on the phone (favoritism here?) found out about it and told his lawyers to keep Pamela away from him. She's pretty free to date anyone she wants now. Why she broke up with Kelly Slater to marry Tommy Lee in the first place is anyone's guess. Pamela goes to prison so that their children can visit him.

    **It looks as if Pamela's new Fall series 'V.I.P.' will be syndicated, so that means a channel and time that is convenient for your city to run it. Keep your eyes peeled to your TV listings for the day, time and channel in your area.

    **It is so important to remember 'National Denim Day' on October 9th (the magazine ads state October 9th and Yasmine Bleeth stated October 8th on the day time talk show 'Regis and Kathy Lee') This will raise research funds and awareness for 'Breast Cancer.' Yasmine Bleeth graces the ad in many magazines through October. Yasmine's Mother died from the disease before she turned 21.
