The ballroom is turning into a battleground for superstar Pamela Anderson and reality-TV mom Kate Gosselin on Dancing With the Stars! "Pam can't stand Kate," a show insider reveals to Life & Style. "Kate's like a little dog around her, latching onto her." The reason? Apparently Kate thinks aligning herself with Pam will give her more exposure, says the insider: "Kate thinks it will help her career, so she's trying to be all palsy-walsy with Pam. Kate thinks they have a lot in common because their private lives have been fodder for years and they've both had reality shows. But Pam's laughing at her behind her back."

While a show rep denies any tension, Judge Carrie Ann Inaba says Kate didn't exactly receive a warm welcome from the series' fans. "The night they announced the cast, I was tweeting along with it, and as they announced Kate, there was the most negative feedback," Carrie Ann tells Life & Style. "It was so unfortunate. I think everybody just needs to give her a chance, just like everybody else."
