Pamela Anderson refused to get into a lift with a woman last week because she was wearing a fur coat.

The former 'Baywatch' babe, who is a prominent member of PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, was at the launch of her new fur and leather free clothing range at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas when the incident occurred.

According to PETA spokesman Dan Mathews, who was at the lavish event, the beautiful blonde had seen ten elevators come and go. When a free car eventually arrived she refused to take it because there was a fur-lover inside.

He is quoted by America's New York Post as saying "Pam waited patiently with Dennis Rodman and Stephen Dorff as elevator after elevator went by, filled to capacity.

"When one finally stopped with two people inside, one of the women was wearing a fur coat. 'Going down?' the woman asked, to which Pam replied, 'Yes, but not with you, lady. Get rid of the fur.'"

Pammy was recently spotted canoodling on a beach with Dorff - sparking further speculation the pair are dating.

Friends claim the couple are "smitten" with each other.
