Pamela Anderson is playing the Virgin Mary ... no, we're not kidding

Pamela Anderson is going to play the Virgin Mary on the Canadian network CTV and The Comedy Network's "A Russell Peters Christmas Special." We'll wait while you go back and check the Zap2it home page for other headlines like "This just in ... pigs with wings," or "Four horsemen spotted on Hollywood Blvd!"

Yes, according to the Hollywood Reporter, the former "Baywatch" star who's done numerous nude photo shoots and one very public sex tape with Tommy Lee is about to play the Virgin Mary. Of course! It's practically type casting. Stripperella, Virgin Mary ... same thing.

Anderson will appear in the blue and white robes in a sketch for the CTV and The Comedy Network, where she will appear in a sketch comedy scene set in a Christmas manger with Canadian comedian Russell Peters, who is hosting the one-hour special, airing on December 1st.

Also appearing in the special are Jon Lovitz, Michael Buble, Ted Lange and Scott Thompson. And maybe those flying pigs.
