Pam Anderson's Playboy offer upsets Islamic group
Get your low down on what's happening in the world of Hollywood, right here!
A hardline Islamic group has blasted Pamela Anderson's offer to donate her Playboy fee to a charity that helps Indonesian disaster victims.
The former Baywatch star, who posed nude for the January issue of the Playboy magazine, handed the 25,000-dollar payment to 'Waves 4 Water', a charity that works to bring clean drinking water to disaster-hit zones.
Islamic Defenders Front officials, however, publicly denounced Anderson's donation, reports the New York Post.
They claimed the donation to the charity was 'against the law of God' because it was obtained through 'immoral acts'.
'If she wants to be photographed naked, then she is challenging a bigger disaster to happen in Indonesia. It's haram (forbidden),' Habib Umar Salim, the head of FPI's advisory council, said.
'I've just shot another Playboy cover that will debut in January for Hugh Hefner, at his request -- I adore him. Playboy and I decided to do this, so I could donate earnings from the shoot to Waves for Water,' Anderson had said on her website.
