Pamela Anderson is giving up the Uggs.

SHE’S the Hollywood star credited for turning an Australian icon into a worldwide fashion phenomenon, but Pamela Anderson has taken the shears to her longterm love affair with Ugg boots.

In perhaps her blondest moment yet, the former Baywatch babe has announced she is putting the boot into her footwear staple of the last decade, boycotting Uggs after finally realising they were made from shaved sheep skin.

The mother-of-two, who is a staunch animal rights activist and member of PETA, says she is wracked with guilt over the fact that women around the globe followed in her footsteps by wearing the boots.

“I’m getting rid of my Uggs – I feel so guilty for that craze being started around my Baywatch days,’’ Anderson wrote on her website.

“I used to wear them with my red swim suit to keep warm never realizing that they were skin! I thought they were shaved kindly?’’

Gotta love celebrities.
