Pamela Anderson gets her kit off for Nokia

And you can too...

What a brilliant idea for a competition! Nokia has hired Pamela Anderson and Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick to appear in The Commuter a short film short shot entirely on the not-quite-launched Nokia N8 - and you can appear in it too.

Two roles are up for grabs - one, we guess a guy, who shares bedroom with Pamela and the other, we guess a girl, to get "up close and personal" with Westwick in an elevator.

Says Pamela: I’m really excited about the film and can’t wait to get on set. I don’t want to give too much away, but my scenes are shot in a bedroom and I’m looking forward to going back to my Finnish roots and sharing my bed with a Nokia N8!”

Enough already: make way for a gratuitous lingerie pic.

The Commuter shoots at the end of the month and gets a real-life premiere in October. It is directed by the McHenry Brothers, who have just finished their first feature length film, Jack Boots on Whitehall, starring Ewan McGregor, Rosamund Pike, Richard E Grant and Timothy Spall.

Nokia UK is running the comp to "showcase the Hollywood quality" of the N8's 12Mp camera. This incorporates Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and a sensor "rivalling those found in compact digital cameras". ®

I think Adobe should get some credit too

Pammy wouldn't look that good if it wasn't for Photoshop...

Market speak

-- a sensor "rivalling those found in compact digital cameras"

As I read it, that means "Not quite as good as the sensor in a bottom-of-the-range compact digital camera".

Pammy is well past her prime

presumably this gives her lots of brand synergy with Nokia

Wait

That's meant to count as "good looking"? I thought that was classed as "the failure that is plastic surgery".

Ed Westwick

"Tacky, desperate... and sexist: why don't we also get video like "In Bed with Eric Bana"?"

We will be getting a steamy elevator scene with Ed Westwick, as written in the story. It's sexist too, but as theres one for each sex they cancel out sexism.
