Animal rights campaigner Pamela Anderson was left shocked at a recent press conference in Australia - after a risk-taking reporter pulled a chicken drumstick out of his shorts.

The former Baywatch beauty was meeting journalists in Sydney earlier this week (beg25Aug08) to promote her reality show Pam: Girl On The Loose, when an eager reporter tried to grab her attention by pulling down his shorts and asking the star to sign his red underwear.

And after happily signing her name on the semi-naked man's briefs, the bizarre meeting turned sour as anti-KFC campaigner Anderson was confronted by a chicken leg the reporter had pulled from his pants.

The vegetarian star was clearly unhappy with the situation, especially when the man began to eat the chicken piece, telling her manager, "This is what happens. See, I create this image and this is what happens."

Anderson protested outside branch of fast-food restaurant KFC in Sydney last month (Jul08) in a bid to try and convince the brand to refuse to use factory farmed animal meat.
