LOS ANGELES - Pamela Anderson is hitting back at rumors she is in financial trouble.

“That’s all garbage,” Pamela told Access Hollywood affiliate WTVJ in Miami over the weekend.

In fact, Anderson said she owns quite a bit of property in her native Canada.

“I have a beautiful home in Canada, nine little cabins on the dock that I’m building and a store in the front,” she said. “That’s going to be kind of my sanctuary. I think eventually I’ll be out of LA and I’ll be living more on Vancouver Island. And Malibu, I can’t get away from Malibu… I’m all over the place.”

Reports surfaced in September that Anderson was in debt over $1 million. She later denied the rumors, claiming she is not in debt, but rather in a dispute with some contractors who filed liens against her over issues related to the renovations on her Malibu home.

And Anderson told WTVJ she is living in a trailer in order to go back through the work that was performed on her Southern California property.

“I’ve had a trailer for a long time. I’m building a house in the (Malibu) Colony, so I have a house in the [fancy] area that I’m trying to build and people redo houses all the time, so I got into a little bit of a contractor dispute,” she said. “I don’t want to be ripped off, so I’m going back to the very beginning of a job and go through it all, now that I have new business management.

When it comes to other personal matters in her life, Anderson, who has two sons with rocker Tommy Lee, said her young ones – Brandon, 13 and Dylan, 11 — are discovering girls.

“Yeah they have. [There’s] a lot of texting,” she said. “I think they text, kiss, kiss.

“They’re real gentlemen,” she added of her sons. “They’re real wild little boys and they’re very compassionate and sweet, so I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
