Ever get that cosmic feeling when the universe decides to stir up a little spice in the lifestyle world? Well, hold on to your star charts, because Pamela Anderson and Meghan Markle might just be the latest celestial clash in the making.

Meanwhile, Meghan is juggling critiques from one of her biggest idols, turning this saga into a rollercoaster of admiration, rivalry, and, dare I say, a dash of karmic justice as Mars squares off with Venus this week. Is this a feud, or just two stars orbiting in a glittery, competitive dance? Either way, it’s a reminder that in the world of fame, even pickles can be packed with punch. LEARN MORE
Both players in the lifestyle industry, Anderson has reportedly taken their perceived rivalry to new heights by teaming up with a brand once dear to Markle’s heart.

Pamela just released her $38 per jar pickle line with the Flamingo Estate brand of California, which was previously on Meghan’s radar. Reports have filtered into the air that Meghan had gotten most of her brand inspiration from outsiders, including Pamela.
Her Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan,” was reportedly originally Anderson’s idea, including the recipes and aesthetic. The former working royal reportedly released her cooking show just a week after Pamela’s “Pamela’s Cooking With Love” dropped.
For her new product launch, Pamela reportedly took notes from Meghan’s shoot by peeking shyly from behind a brimmed hat while holding a lush bouquet. According to The Daily Mail, proceeds from the sale of Pamela’s cookies will go to the California Wildlife Center, a charity organization.

The Flamingo Estate was beyond excited to partner with the superstar, as seen in their announcement, where they revealed they had spent months in the kitchen developing their glorious bottles of jars.
“The secret to Pamela’s Pickles is an award-winning recipe that was passed down to her by her great-aunt Vie,” the announcement post continued.
The company noted that the delicious pickle base is “packed with Rose, Dill, Mustard, and Garlic,” which are the perfect partners for the signature flavors of Flamingo Estate.
These flavors are, namely, “Pink Peppercorns, Guajillo Chile, and Smoky Sea Salt.” The company added that the Pickles are also excellent choices for vegans.

This entire report of a competition between the two moguls could be all in the fans’ imaginations. Earlier in August, PEOPLE reported that Pamela was asked to rate Meghan’s show because it allegedly stole ideas from her show.
Pamela promptly replied to Andy Cohen that she had honestly not given anyone the chance to steal from her. She added that cooking shows were also not exclusively made for her, and Meghan chose that route; then she is simply doing her thing.
Pamela’s cooking show launched on February 24 with chefs joining her in a rural home on Vancouver Island and chopping up plant-based meals. The actress and her guests prepared these meals for dinner parties.

Critics have kept the Netflix show on their radar for a long time, as days before its launch, an expert described that the show, which had about eight episodes, would have a significant impact on Meghan’s career.
As reported by The Blast, brand and PR expert Doug Eldridge, claimed that in an environment like Hollywood, where numerous factors influence the longevity and success of any brand, a win for Meghan will go a long way.
Eldridge affirmed that should the show be a success, Meghan’s relevancy, fame, and influencer opportunities will grow in leaps and bounds.
“Hopefully, Meghan can put her personal style and stamp on this and, in doing so, create some foundational scaffolding to rebuild her life and career,” the PR expert added.
Eldridge then praised Meghan’s tenacity, praising her for taking her losses on the chin and always staying in the fight to give her best; a trait she would need for her new life.

This month has not been so different for the actress either, in terms of harsh criticisms and clapbacks from some industry giants. Another icon reportedly to join the pool was Tina Brown of Vanity Fair and Tatler, whom Meghan held in high esteem.
Tina was dear to the actress’ heart for so many reasons because her book and biography, “The Diana Chronicles,” opened Meghan’s eyes to the running of the royal family when she was about to marry Harry.
The former Vanity Fair editor was close to Princess Diana before her death; a knowledge which shaped how Meghan viewed her. The mother-of-two reportedly looked to her publications to help her understand the relationship between Harry and the late Diana and how he truly felt about his mother.
All this reportedly compounded Meghan’s heartbreak when she learned how Tina truly felt about her latest exploits.
