Michael Jackson has been spotted on a number of dates with actress Pamela Anderson, according to reports.

The pair are said to have first met in an intimate room at the Shutters Hotel in Malibu, California, on the arrangement of their management.

"They were very chatty. Pamela was being her usual flirty self and Michael seemed to be responding,” a source told the Mirror newspaper.

“They are such a strange couple but they seemed to really hit it off."

The paper claims that Jackson, who celebrated his 50th birthday last Friday (August 29th), invited Anderson on a second date at Country Mart.

“[They] looked very comfortable with each other. They chatted about Michael turning 50, his new album, their kids. And he seemed genuinely interested in Pamela."

Last week, Jackson spoke candidly about his children in a phone interview timed to coincide with his birthday.
