The boys will be drowning on purpose! Kate Upton mimics Pamela Anderson as she poses with lifeguard float in string bikini

She came under fire last week from pro anorexia sites who claimed she was 'vulgar'.

 But Kate Upton is having the last laugh as she rivals Pamela Anderson in a new photoshoot.

The blonde beauty posed against the backdrop of blue skies and towering palm trees as she harked back to Nineties drama Baywatch by posing with one of the bright orange lifeguard floats.

While she forfeited the iconic red swimsuit, Kate instead showed off her enviable shape in a tangerine two-piece detailed with white circular patterns.

The string bikini left little to the imagination as Kate's voluptuous figure spilled from the bikini top.


In another shot from the GQ shoot, brave Kate whips off her top as she lies back on the grass.

Taking matters into her own hands, literally, the 20-year-old Sports Illustrated cover girl is seen holding her own breasts as she attempts to conceal her modesty in the raunchy snapshot.

The seductive snaps were captured by Terry Richardson, who has worked a lot with Kate.

In the accompanying interview, Kate revealed she spent most of her childhood in skimpy clothing.

She told the men's magazine: 'I grew up in Florida riding horses, so the majority of my life I was either in boots and jeans or a bathing suit.'

Kate recently returned home to Florida for July 4 celebrations, tweeting: 'Happy 4th of July!! Enjoying picnic and the beach with the birthday girl... Love being home!'

Pamela Anderson poses topless in sizzling Twitter snap

VETERAN clothes-shedder Pamela Anderson can pose topless in her sleep.

And she appears to be exactly that here, standing with her eyes shut in the semi-buff.

The former Baywatch babe, 45, posted this arresting image on her Twitter page, though it's not known if it's a recent snap or a choice selection from her mammoth archive.

She uses her arms to protect her modesty as she parades her fine figure in a pair of unbuttoned and unzipped denim shorts.

Pammi finishes off the sizzling look with a pair of knee-high leather boots.

Referencing the saucy snap on Twitter, she wrote: “St Tropez in the summer – my favourite.”

The actress/model has long been a fan of the South of France town hotspot.

She married second hubby Kid Rock there in 2006, wearing a tiny bikini for the romantic occasion.

The couple divorced the following year.

At 45-year-old, Pamela Anderson is showing no signs of slowing down.

The party-loving actress was seen dancing on top of a car in a carpark in Malibu during Fourth Of July celebrations yesterday.

The Baywatch star caused a frenzy as she climbed onto the vehicle in a tight white dress with red white and blue American flag adorning her famous chest.

The former showgirl amazingly kept her balance in a pair of towering heels as she showed off her moves.

But it wasn't before too long that she removed them to hitch up her dress.

Below a bevvy of male fans snapped away with their iPhones with Pammie lapping up the attention.

Pamela is known for her hard-partying ways.

The 45-year-old wore a tight white dress with red white and blue American flag adorning her famous chest 

This despite having issues with her health - the actress revealed in 2002 that she had hepatitis C.

Anderson caught the liver disease by sharing a tattooist's needle with ex-husband Tommy Lee, the Motley Crew drummer.

The star has previously told People magazine that she controls the infection with medical help.

'I’ve had liver biopsies. I get checked every single year, my doctor told me just keep doing what you are doing.

 'I also have the kind that’s easiest to control. There is no cure for it, so the important thing is to encourage people to get tested and not be ashamed.

'People get embarrassed as you get it from blood-to-blood contact, but it is not just junkies who have it,' she said.

Hepatitis C causes inflammation of the liver, which can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer and liver failure.

Meanwhile, Pamela was recently in London to attend a party thrown by Prince Haji Abdul Azim of Brunei.

The blonde bombshell joined the likes of Mariah Carey and Raquel Welch to help Prince Azim mark his 30th with a lavish celebration at the world-famous Dorchester Hotel in the capital.

Prince Azim is famous for his legendary celebrations, with his birthday party in 2009 dubbed the 'Party of the Year' after he splashed out a reported £70,000 for flowers to deck out the event.

The prince is also known for his generosity, having previously presented Mariah with $6million of jewels.

 And it was Mariah and Pamela who seemed to hold the Prince's attention the most - Pam, handing the Brunei royal what appeared to be a birthday gift, and even standing up for what appeared to be a serenade during the celebration.

Huddled together in the centre of the room, the trio seemed to enjoy each other's company immensely, trading laughs and swapping stories during their glitzy evening out.

Pamela chose a figure-hugging halter dress for the occasion, showcasing her ample cleavage and toned legs.

Pamela Anderson Gets Roasted

The star will spend three days in the Big Brother house, but she has chosen not to sleep there - exiting through the diary room every night. Speaking about her payment for the show, she says, "(The pay check was) huge, a lot... Much more than I am worth. I don't want to say how much but it is a lot."
