Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee are giving another -- their 8,302nd -- try, according to the NY Daily News. (Oh, and by the way, they're starting their own reality show.)

Tommy said Pam and their two sons, Dylan and Brandon, have moved back into his house and life is better than ever. If history is any guide, this latest reunion won't last as long as the couple's famous sex tape. The breastalicious bombshell married the bad boy rocker in 1996, 96-hours after they met, and divorced two years later.

Tommy Lee did some jail time, Pam got Hep-C, they both played musical beds, Pam got married and divorced two times and now they are together again.

The word on the street is that Joe Simpson is acting as the puppet master behind the scenes, pulling the strings in his daughter's love life, while at the same time building up his client list, but Romo says that's "so far from the truth."

Pete Doherty - Pete Doherty Misses Out On Charity Football Win

Pete Doherty and his charity football team were unable to retain their Samaritans Celebrity Soccer Six at a tournament in south London yesterday.

The troubled musician's side had claimed the Soccer Six title last year but were defeated 3-1 in this year's final by a team composed of members of the dance band Faithless.

However, despite losing out in the final, the former Libertine - who was recently released from prison after being punished for failing to meet the terms of his probation order - reiterated his support for the charity.

"Samaritans provide a service called 'the listeners' where they train inmates so if you're struggling any time during the night you've got someone you can spill your heart out to," he said.

Claire Duncan, a Samaritans spokesperson, explained that the football tournament allowed the charity to raise awareness of the support available to troubled people across the UK.

"In light of the recent suicides in Bridgend in Wales it is vital that we reach out to young people out to young people at an earlier stage before problems seem much more difficult to manage," she added.

"Samaritans is here to listen, not to judge or make assumptions but to give people the time and space to work through how they are feeling. If you need emotional support then get in touch."

Other celebrity teams included members of the Wombats and the Twang, former Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Jade Goody, Dave Gorman, and contestants from Big Brother, X Factor, The Apprentice and Shipwrecked.
