Pamela Anderson's temporary split from Rick Salomon was caused by her "cosying up" to magician Criss Angel.

The former "Baywatch" star - who filed for divorce in Los Angeles on Friday after just two months of marriage to the professional poker player - had been seen "cosying up to" the illusionist at Las Vegas' LAX nightclub on December 8.

A source told the New York Post newspaper, "Rick hit the roof when he found out Pam was hanging out with Criss while he was off at a poker tournament. They had a huge fight, and she filed for divorce a few days later."

The 40-year-old mother-of-two is now "working things out" with her new husband and friends are sure they will save their relationship.

A friend of the actress said, "It was just another log on the fire. Their relationship is so volatile - I'm sure this won't be the last time she files, but nothing happened with her and Criss - they were just hanging out."

"Pamela is very wary of jealous men, as Kid Rock had jealousy issues."

Pammie - who has two sons, Brandon, 11, and nine-year-old Dylan with first husband Tommy Lee - fell for Rick after he offered to waive her poker debts to him in return for sex.

She said, "I paid off a poker debt with sexual favours, and I fell in love. It's so romantic."

Rick, who is a professional poker player, famously starred in and released the Paris Hilton sex tape "One Night In Paris".

He was previously married to actresses Shannen Doherty and Elizabeth Daily, while Pammie has been wed twice before to rockers Kid Rock and Tommy Lee.
