Anderson to retire in 2012

Actress Pamela Anderson has turned down a string of lucrative contracts - because she is quitting showbusiness in five years.

The former Baywatch star has been offered a number of TV and movie roles but has snubbed them to concentrate on home-tutoring her sons Brandon, 11, and Dylan, nine - from her failed marriage to rocker Tommy Lee - at their home in Malibu, California.
