The former 'Baywatch' actress attended the Champions of Jewish Values International Awards Gala on Thursday (05.05.16) with 19-year-old son Brandon and reportedly made the affair, which was held in New York, a profitable one as she auctioned off the chance to have pictures with her for the three-figure sum.

The 48-year-old star - who has previously visited Tel Aviv and Jerusalem - praised Israel's efforts on "conservation" and then made a speech about ecology.

However, according to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column, some attendees were unimpressed by the serious tone of the evening.

One guest reportedly said: "This feels like a climate-change conference."

Meanwhile, the blonde beauty - who also has 18-year-old son Dylan with ex-husband Tommy Lee - has donated $50,000 to The National Domestic Violence Hotline (The Hotline) on behalf of the Pamela Anderson Foundation.

The money will be used by the organisation to support their work in educating and providing resources to parents who are experiencing abuse, as well expanding the online resources available for parents in abusive relationships, and Pamela is "delighted" to help.

She said in a statement: "I've had an opportunity to meet the men and women who, day in and day out, offer compassion and information to anyone who needs help with domestic violence. As the mother of two children, I am delighted to know that our donation will help ensure that other parents seeking help and information will continue to find that trusted resource at The Hotline."

The 'Barb Wire' actress previously donated $60,000 to The Hotline when she visited their headquarters last year.
