I bet Kate Gosselin wishes she could have spent as much time with her kids as Pam did!

Before being prematurely voted off this season’s Dancing with the Stars, Pamela Anderson worked her butt off to perfect her moves. But there are two very important things Pam ALWAYS put before her dancing — her little boys! “I rehearsed when they were at school, and I saw them every night,” she told HollywoodLife.com exclusively at the 2nd Anniversary celebration at MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Mashantucket, Conn., on May 15. “We got to see each other all of the time and they were my priority. … Anytime [reporters] asked me a personal question, I would say, ‘You know what I’m thinking about right now? I’m thinking about baseball. My son is pitching tonight and I have to be there at 4:00.’”

We chatted with Pam about her time on the show, and she told us who she became BFFs with! “Probably Evan [Lysachek] and Cheryl [Burke] who dances with [Chad] Ochocinco,” she told us. ”We had a lot of fun. The three of us are trouble.”

“Cheryl has the most beautiful body,” Pam said of her new bestie. “She’s the most talented dancer. I think she’s super sexy.”

Pam even told us who she thinks is going to win the whole shebang: Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger! “She’s the best [celebrity] dancer,” Pam told us. “She should win. I think it’s really great to showcase her in the spotlight. I think it’s just fantastic. It was just really exciting to even be in the same dance competition. It’s surreal to me because I’ve never danced in my life. I was doing this totally for fun.”

We spotted Pam later in the night in the casino, gambling and laughing with surprise friends Ice-T and his wife Coco. Pam looked totally hot in a super short silver dress, which she had to keep pulling down on the red carpet to avoid a wardrobe malfunction.
