Pamela Anderson to host Juno Award telecast; Nickelback among performers
HALIFAX (CP) – The Juno Awards will undoubtedly be a sexier affair than in previous years with the announcement Monday of Pamela Anderson as host of the April 2 bash.
The actress will pilot the two-hour show, which will feature performances by Nickelback, Michael Buble and Broken Social Scene. It’ll air on CTV. “Canadian music rocks,” Anderson said in a statement.
“No matter where I am in the world I can listen to Canadian music and feel like I’m at home. This is going to be one kick-ass awards show.”
Anderson is no stranger to the world of music, having been married to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and later engaged to country-rocker Kid Rock.
She’s also dabbled in singing. The former Baywatch babe joined Bryan Adams on his latest CD for a duet of his 1998 hit When You’re Gone.
Adams has already signed on to perform on the show, during which he’ll be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
“She’s pretty rock ‘n’ roll,” Adams has said of Anderson, who grew up in Ladysmith, B.C.
No word on whether singing will be part of her hosting duties.
