PAMELA ANDERSON - VIETNAM VET RAGES AT THE WRONG BLONDE

An angry Vietnam vet has issued an apology to PAMELA ANDERSON after mistaking her for outspoken DIXIE CHICKS star NATALIE MAINES - and hurling abuse at her on a flight to Los Angeles.

Proud LOUIS ZIZZA got his blondes mixed up on the flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and felt sure the ex-BAYWATCH star was the singer who had controversially attacked PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH during a show in London earlier this year (03).

Zizza was so convinced he had the right girl he stormed into the first class lounge to give the actress a piece of his mind, and was almost arrested.

The 52-year-old former soldier says, "I mistook her for someone else and I'm deeply sorry for it."
