Pamela Anderson has responded to the backlash she received over her comments that women should have had the &#39;common sense&#39; not to enter hotel rooms with Harvey Weinstein.

The &#39;Baywatch&#39; star, in an interview with Megyn Kelly, had said that it&#39;s &#39;common sense&#39; not to go into a hotel room with a man as she opened up about the &#39;seductive&#39; nature of Hollywood.

The Playboy covergirl, who has been accused of victim-blaming, took to Instagram to double down on her stance.

&quot;We have the power to be safe and free by using common sense. My message is consistent throughout - I&#39;m a deep thinker / I have a unique perspective. and consequence is part of my life. This is great,&quot; she wrote. &quot;I am also an advocate for men. I just don&#39;t agree with it all. Backlash is good. - I like this. My position is not &#39;problematic&#39; because I doesn&#39;t fall in line with the common herd or trend.&quot;

Pamela Anderson responds to critics over sexual harassment comment

How have Barack Obama&#39;s musical tastes changed in his last year in the White House? Judging from his playlists, he is getting into more indie rock.

Obama&nbsp;on Thursday&nbsp;for the second year in a row released summer playlists on streaming service Spotify, revealing what&#39;s on his speakers as he relaxes with his family on an annual holiday to tony Martha&#39;s Vineyard.&nbsp;Like the previous year, Obama&#39;s two playlists,&nbsp;one for daytime and one for nighttime listening,&nbsp;have plenty of classics including songs from Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Miles Davis and The Beach Boys.

But he also showed a taste for indie rock this year. He listed &quot;Elevator Operator&quot; by Courtney Barnett, the Australian songwriter who has recently built a strong if niche following with her droll lyricism.&nbsp;Obama also picked &quot;Home&quot; by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, indie rockers who incidentally were prominent campaigners for former Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders.

While most of Obama&#39;s musical choices steered clear of politics, an exception was &quot;Forever Begins&quot; by the Chicago rapper Common, a track produced by Kanye West that delves into the civil rights struggle and touches on gun violence.&nbsp;The president also chose Fiona Apple&#39;s 1997 hit &quot;Criminal&quot;, a song often interpreted as feminist with its theme of male fragility in the face of female sexuality.

Obama did not confine his selections to US artists. He chose a track by Caetano Veloso, a prominent figure in Brazil&#39;s tropicalia movement and outspoken critic of the country&#39;s former military dictatorship.

Obama chose Veloso&#39;s version of &quot;Cucurrucucu Paloma&quot;, an often-covered Mexican song of longing that was popularised in part by Harry Belafonte, the US singer also active in leftist politics.&nbsp;Also on one of Obama&#39;s playlists was &quot;Me Gustas Tu&quot; by Manu Chao, the Parisian singer of Spanish descent known for his attacks on globalisation.

Other prominent artists whose tracks have Obama&#39;s ear include pop superstar Janet Jackson, reclusive R&amp;B sensation D&#39;Angelo, soul singer Janelle Monae and blues rocker Gary Clark Jr.&nbsp;Obama has often spoken of his love of discovering music and has invited artists to the White House, including the late pop icon Prince and politically conscious rapper Kendrick Lamar.
