It's not the first time a fight over a woman has shaken French politics, but Pamela Anderson still managed to get the country's parliament in a flap on Tuesday when she arrived in Paris to campaign against foie gras.
A photographer and a cameraman came to blows in the media scrum that enveloped the former Baywatch star's press conference, Reuters reported.
