KISS WORTH A COOL QUARTER-MILLION

NEW YORK — Pamela Anderson says she and Rick Salomon took their 17-year-old friendship to the next level at a poker game.

"I left the table and Errol (Lyon, Anderson's driver) played in my place," the 40-year-old ex-"Baywatch" star tells OK! magazine. "I came back to find myself $250,000 in the hole to Rick!"

So Salomon — best known for making a sex tape with ex-girlfriend Paris Hilton — struck a flirty deal.

"Rick, being the gentleman, said he would wipe my debt if I gave him a kiss, so I have to thank Vegas for our relationship switching gears!"

Anderson says, in the issue on newsstands today, "It evolved into spending every day — and then nights — together."

The couple tied the knot Oct. 6 in Las Vegas, squeezing in their vows between Anderson's performances in a magic show at a casino. It's the third marriage for both.

OPRAH DISHES ON THYROID TROUBLES

Oprah Winfrey uses the October issue of her magazine O to describe how her thyroid condition slowed down her metabolism and caused her to gain 20 pounds.

Oprah said that when her show was wrapping up its season in May, she felt rundown.

"My body was turning on me," she said. "First, hyperthyroidism — which sped up my metabolism and left me unable to sleep for days." Oprah, who also discussed the issue on her Tuesday show, said the pendulum then swung the other way, to "hypothyroidism, which slowed down my metabolism."

Winfrey took a monthlong break in Hawai'i to help regain her health.

O.J. URGED GUNS, SAYS WITNESS

LAS VEGAS — O.J. Simpson wanted armed men with him when he confronted two sports memorabilia dealers, according to a man who has agreed to testify for the prosecution in the armed robbery case.

Walter Alexander told police after he was arrested Sept. 15 that Simpson wanted the group armed when they stormed into a Las Vegas hotel room to retrieve sports collectibles that Simpson said belonged to him.

"O.J. said, 'Hey, just bring some firearms,' " Alexander told police in a transcript obtained by The Associated Press.

Simpson's attorney said Simpson's position remains that there were no guns brought to the room and that he did not tell anyone to bring guns.
