Pamela Anderson Gets Low Scores ... From California Tax Board

Pamela Anderson impressed on last night's Dancing with the Stars.

Unfortunately, the government could give a rat's a$$ about her score of 47 in the rumba (23 for technical points, 24 for performance). Woman owes back taxes.

The former Baywatch star is in the red more than $493,000 according to an annual list of delinquents with six-digit liens by the California Franchise Tax Board.

Her attorney has yet to comment on the case, but that's possibly because that's not the only legal drama surrounding the 42-year-old actress these days.

A Manhattan-based clothing company filed suit against Pam for stealing the name of the animal-friendly, organic fashion collection she launched with Richie Rich.

While recent fashion shows have featured pieces labeled A*Muse, Maggy London International calls it "a disingenuous effort to disguise their infringing activities."

They trademarked Muse in 2002.

The company is trying to have the duo barred from using the name further and fork over both profits and remaining inventory for "impoundment or destruction."

In case you're wondering, the legal battle is being waged over this fashion atrocity. Seriously, we would let her have it if we were Muse ... wow is all we can say.
