Baywatch

Mike Newman -- the star of “Baywatch” who passed away last month after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease -- received a touching send-off from those close to him ... a paddle out held in his honor.

Matthew Felker -- the director behind the Hulu docuseries “After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun” -- helped make the event happen ... and, check out the photo. It’s a fitting tribute to someone who spent so long acting near the water.

We’re told Newman’s costar David Chokachi -- the actor who played Cody Madison in more than 80 episodes of the show during the later ‘90s -- also came to pay his respects to Mike.

Beyoncé is using a jaw-dropping transformation and a new music video to encourage American fans to get out and vote ... with Pamela Anderson as her ultimate muse.

Check it out ... the singer dropped a new visual for her "Cowboy Carter" anthem "Bodyguard" Monday ... donning a variety of looks made famous by the "Baywatch" actress.

In fact, the chart-topper is labeled "Beywatch" on YouTube ... and features Bey wearing the iconic red swimsuit worn by Pamela in the series.

Michael Newman, best known for his role as lifeguard Mike "Newmie" Newman on "Baywatch," has died ... 18 years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

He died from heart complications Sunday night, surrounded by family and friends -- with the tragic news confirmed Tuesday by his friend Matt Felker, who helmed Hulu's recent "Baywatch" documentary.

Matt told PEOPLE, "I got to see Mike the last time he was conscious, and he looked [at] me and in typical Mike fashion said, 'You're just in time.'" Felker also posted a lengthy tribute to Michael on his IG.

Nicole Eggert isn't losing sleep over Jeremy Jackson confessing he's gotten up-close and personal with the scent of her privates ... instead, she's applauding her "Baywatch" costar for his frankness.

We caught up with the actress after Jeremy went viral for admitting he would sneak into "Baywatch" trailers and sniff the crotches of the iconic red swimsuits his female castmates wore.

While Nicole admitted she didn't know about Jeremy's naughty on-set antics when they were going down, she made it clear she's unbothered by the foul truth.

Armie Hammer is making a tough decision, Jeremy Jackson is owning up to some questionable behavior and Cooper Kupp is cutting a deal ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Babcock explain why Armie is selling his beloved truck.

A new "Baywatch" documentary is making waves ... mainly because OG cast member Pamela Anderson doesn't make a new cameo in the doc.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... while the doc, which will stream on Hulu, promises a never-before-seen interview with the iconic "Baywatch" babe, Pamela did NOT actually recently sit for an interview with the filmmakers ... despite an offer to participate in the 4-part doc.

That makes her the only original cast member to skip the opportunity to take a trip down memory lane.

Jeremy Jackson, the former child star best known for playing David Hasselhoff's son on "Baywatch," may be oversharing a bit about his NSFW antics while filming the action drama.

The actor, who played Hobie Buchannon for 8 seasons, declared in the new docuseries, "After Baywatch: Moment In The Sun," going through puberty while surrounded by scantily clad costars was no easy feat.

As Jeremy put it ... he coped by breaking into his castmates' trailers and sniffing their bathing suits. He continued ... "Let’s just say I’ve sniffed every ***** on 'Baywatch.'"

Believe it or not, there was a point in Tom Brady's life where he wouldn't have minded being more like Tommy Lee ... saying this month his childhood crush was none other than the drummer's ex, Pamela Anderson!

Brady made the revelation while he was getting a haircut from VicBlends ... on the social media star barber's "DeepCut" podcast which is produced by Shadow Lion.

Vic, who fired questions at the future Hall of Famer for around an hour as he trimmed the former quarterback's hair, asked straight up ... who did TB12 fantasize about when he was a youngster??

Brady paused for a brief moment ... before he admitted it was none other than Anderson.

The 25-year-old scissor wizard -- real name Victor Fontanez -- didn't have much of a clue who that was ... which surprised Brady.

He told the young entrepreneur she was the star of "Baywatch" ... adding, "She was nice!"

He then implored Vic's dad to "show your son" what he was missing.

Tom -- who's now 47 years old -- would have been in his mid-to-late teens at arguably the height of Anderson's acting career ... which means there might have been at least some chance the ex-Patriots signal-caller could have had a realistic shot with her at some point.

But Brady, of course, never ended up on Anderson's radar ... he dated Bridget Moynahan in his 20s ... before he ultimately married Gisele Bundchen in his 30s.

Brady, however, is single now ... and 56-year-old Anderson appears to be as well -- so it ain't too late, we suppose!

Nicole Eggert says she's getting tons of support -- both financially and emotionally -- from many of her famous friends on the heels of revealing she's been diagnosed with cancer.

The former "Baywatch" star tells TMZ ... Kyle Richards is among the celebs who've donated to her fundraiser, with the 'RHOBH' star kicking in $1,000.

Nicole, who recently announced she's fighting stage 2 breast cancer, tells us she goes way back with Kyle ... they were childhood friends running in the same child actor circles in Hollywood.

Nicole's got a GoFundMe to raise money for her upcoming medical expenses -- she doesn't have family to lean on and her insurance won't cover everything, so she's hoping to raise $100K, and already has about $25K and counting.

One interesting side note about Kyle's donation ... she made it under the name Kyle Umansky, even though she's separated from Mauricio.

Anyways, Nicole says another 'Real Housewives' star, Bethenny Frankel, donated too ... with the 'RHONY' star chipping in $500 and her partner, Paul Bernon, matching that.

NE says she's thanked both women for their support, and Bethenny told her she's there for whatever Nicole needs.

She's also getting support from Alyssa Milano, with whom Nicole was childhood friends ... as they both appeared on the sitcom, "Who's The Boss?"

Nicole says most of her former "Baywatch" castmates have reached out, including David Hasselhoff.

Nicole Eggert dice que está recibiendo toneladas de apoyo de Hollywood a raíz de su diagnóstico de cáncer, tanto financiera como emocionalmente.

La ex estrella de "Baywatch" le dice a TMZ que Kyle Richards está entre las celebridades que donan a su recaudación de fondos, ¡desembolsando $1.000!

Nicole, quien recientemente reveló que está luchando contra el cáncer de mama, nos dice que se remonta con Kyle ... eran amigas de la infancia que se ejecuta en los mismos círculos actor infantil en Hollywood.

Nicole tiene un GoFundMe para recaudar dinero para sus próximos gastos médicos, ella no tiene familia para apoyarse y su seguro no cubrirá todo, así que espera recaudar $100K y ya tiene alrededor de $25K y contando.

Es interesante... Kyle donó bajo el nombre de Kyle Umansky, a pesar de que está separada de su marido Mauricio Umansky.

De todos modos Nicole dice que otra estrella de "Real Housewives", Bethenny Frankel, también donó, y su aporte fue de $500 y su pareja, Paul Bernon, hizo lo mismo.

Nicole dice que le envió un mensaje de texto Kyle y Bethenny, dándoles las gracias por sus donaciones, con Bethenny diciéndo que está ahí para lo que Nicole necesite.

También nos dicen Alyssa Milano le envió amor y apoyo a Nicole. Eran amigas de la infancia ya que ambas aparecieron en la comedia televisiva "¿Quién es el jefe?"

Nicole dice que la mayoría de sus ex compañeros de reparto de "Baywatch" se acercaron, incluyendo a David Hasselhoff, con una notable excepción... Pamela Anderson.

Donna D'Errico is clapping back at "hater women" for going to extreme lengths to report her racy snaps ... by re-uploading the same images that got her shadow-banned on Instagram.

"Here's another photo that had to be removed in order to lift the shadow ban on my account after a group of women haters went through my account reporting all my posts," the ex-Playboy model defiantly captioned the image, which by all means, was just as risqué as you would expect.

Think tiny lacy black bra, black corset, knee-high black boots -- all while straddling a pumpkin to celebrate Halloween, of course.

The "Baywatch" star added there was "nothing wrong with these photos" ... and took things one step further by addressing the trolls who had an issue with them in the first place.

"Hater women: Feel better about yourselves. Build up other women. In doing so, you can shine, too," she wrote. If they still didn't get the message, Dona had one final message for them... "I guess you can simply kiss my ass."

This isn't Donna's first rodeo in calling out online warriors lurking in the comments of her pictures. On Sunday, she explained she had to remove another video of herself in a blue bikini that didn't sit well with others online.

"Using technology to bully is still, in fact, bullying. And Donna doesn't get bullied," she declared while re-sharing the clip. One thing's for sure ... you're not gonna mess with Donna!!!

Yes, Pamela Anderson's a big Broadway star now, but she's still an animal lover at heart -- which is why she's going out of her way to walk someone else's dog during her downtime in NYC.

Pamela's in the middle of an 8-week-run as the lead, Roxie Hart, in "Chicago." A source close to the actress says she wasn't able to take her own dogs with her to the city, but was still taking daily walks in Central Park.

That's when we're told Pamela had the idea to ask her assistant -- who has friends in the city -- if he knew anyone who needed a dog walker.

Pammy lucked out because someone happened to have an Irish Setter, named Dash, in need of a world-famous actress and sex symbol to stroll with him.

When Pamela showed up to get Dash for his walk, his owners were stunned to see it was the "Baywatch" actress ... and now, she's been walking him every day for the last 3 weeks.

Pamela's run on Broadway continues until the first week of June, and she's gotten a ton of fan support and positive buzz. We're told she'll continue to walk Dash until she heads home to her own 4 pups.

"Baywatch" actress Alexandra Daddario had the scare of her life Saturday ... when an irate man with a loaded gun went to her home and went off screaming something about her.

LAPD cops rushed to the scene and found the guy standing outside Alexandra's house. They told him to leave but he refused.

As police detained him they searched the man's car and found a loaded handgun. He was arrested for possession of a concealed firearm.

It's unclear if Alexandra, who has also appeared in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "Percy Jackson & The Olympians," "The White Lotus" and "San Andreas," was home at the time. We also don't know if her fiancé, producer Andrew Form, was home. They got engaged in December.

Alexandra is active on social media, with more than 21 million IG followers, so she's high profile on various media platforms.

Alexandra Paul -- known for playing Lt. Stephanie Holden on the OG "Baywatch" -- claims she's being harassed by a woman she's had beef with for a decade ... and now the woman's allegedly targeting Alexandra's husband too.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ ... Alexandra says the woman, Nicole Albrecht, is from Germany, and first showed up at her house in late 2011 and has been harassing her ever since.

Alexandra's theory is Albrecht knows her because "Baywatch" was uber popular in Germany. She claims the woman now has it out for her husband, Ian, because she thinks he's keeping her from being with Alexandra.

According to the docs ... things came to a head on July 4, when Albrecht allegedly parked near Alexandra and Ian's property and her husband tried to get a photo of her license plate.

Paul claims Albrecht then "turned on her car and hit him with it and fled the scene." She says they contacted the LAPD threat management unit.

Before this incident, Paul claims Albrecht also confronted her in a grocery store parking lot in May and tried to get in her car, but fled when Alexandra called cops.

Since the July 4 incident, Paul claims Albrecht's been sending her husband a bunch of emails "showing her paranoia and hatred of him." Even more disturbing, Alexandra claims Albrecht is orchestrating an online harassment and defamation campaign accusing Ian of being a pedophile with absolutely no basis.

Alexandra says they fear things will get worse, and the court's siding with her for now -- a judge granted her and Ian a temporary restraining order requiring Albrecht to stay 100 yards away and stop all contact with them.

'Baywatch' hotties Donna D'Errico and Krista Allen got a super sweet offer -- $300,000 to fly to Dubai and make a quick speech -- but turned out to be too good to be true ... because it was courtesy of the same scammers who tried to rip off Dog The Bounty Hunter.

Here's the deal ... reps for Donna and Krista were contacted by people purporting to be from the office of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan -- the Deputy Prime Minister of United Arab Emirates -- offering the ladies a fat payday in exchange for speaking at an economic empowerment convention for small business owners in July and rubbing elbows with dignitaries.

Donna and Krista's people got contracts emailed to them with all the deets, and it looked legit on its face ... but once the women signed, things got super sketchy.

Organizers in "Dubai" said they had difficulty wiring funds to Donna and Krista and started asking for more personal information. Huge red flag. Another catch -- organizers were asking Donna and Krista to donate half of the funds back to the organization.

Donna and Krista slowly started putting the pieces together, feeling something was off ... and they eventually got cold feet.

Fortunately for them ... the 'Baywatch' babes never gave up their personal info, dodging a huge bullet ... just like Dog.
