Pamela Anderson in the role she was born to play: The Virgin Mary

When you think of actresses who have to play the Virgin Mary, one name stands immediately to the top of the list: Pamela Anderson.

 Yes, Anderson - legend sex tape and switches from "Baywatch" swimsuit - will indeed play the mother of the baby Jesus in a forthcoming Christmas special.

 Before you check your Bible to see if you grossly misinterpreted the description of the Virgin Mary, to take note of an important detail, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter: Anderson will act in a comedy sketch on TV Canadian "Russell Peters A Special Christmas." the tongue-in-cheek re-creation of the nursery will be broadcast as part of the show, which will be broadcast to the north on CTV and The Comedy Network.

 Ever heard of Russell Peters, the Indo-Canadian actor? Well, no more than many Americans, which probably explains why he cleverly recruited Anderson to play the Virgin Mary.

 But do not think for a moment it is the only major guest star on the show. Michael Buble and Ted Lange, aka Isaac from "The Love Boat", will also make appearances.
