1. Baywatch Reunion Goes Belly-up October 18, 2001 WENN; The planned Baywatch movie is close to drowning in paperwork with money arguments between stars blighting the plans. Scheduled to begin filming this week in Hawaii, the Fox TV pic-tentatively titled Baywatch Blast-has been pushed back to next spring, if it happens at all. A Fox spokesperson blames the delay on the events of September 11th, saying, "The special deals the production company had with the airlines and the hotels couldn't be fulfilled because of what happened." However, a source tells TV Guide Online many actors refused to sign on the dotted line after they learned that David Hasselhoff-the franchise's executive producer and star-offered special contracts to some of Baywatch's more popular faces. "There were three payment tiers," reveals the insider. "The top was reserved just for him and there was a middle tier for Pam Anderson, Yasmine Bleeth, Gena Lee Nolin, David Chokachi, Erika Eleniak and Nicole Eggert." Hasselhoff's explaination is simpler. He says, "We had 25 castmembers on our wish list, but then the budget was way too big. So now I'm trying to get the big girls like Pamela and Yasmine to come back and go to work where we gave them their start."
