Biography

Salomon was born in Neptune, New Jersey, the son of a former executive vice president at Warner Bros., Robert Jess Salomon. He grew up in Wayside, New Jersey. He was married to voice actress Elizabeth Daily from 1995 to 2000 and has daughters Hunter (b. March 13, 1996) and Tyson (b. October 13, 1998) with her.

Salomon first became well-known after his short and volatile marriage to actress Shannen Doherty. [ [http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2002-10-24#celeb3 Movie & TV News @ IMDb.com - WENN - 24 October 2002 ] ]

In 2004, a sex tape featuring Hilton and Salomon surfaced. The tape leaked onto the Internet. Salomon filed suit both against the company distributing the tape and the Hilton family, whom he accused of tarnishing his reputation by suggesting that he had exploited Hilton. Salomon further claimed in his $10 million suit that representatives of the Hiltons tried to discourage media outlets from playing excerpts of the tape by saying that Hilton was underage when the tape was made (which would have made showing the tape illegal), and were attempting to crush him to preserve the image they had created for her. However this attempt failed after several other provocative images and videos of Paris were released in consecutive years.

After a few months, Salomon started to distribute the tape himself through adult film company Red Light District Video. The DVD of the sex video is entitled "1 Night in Paris" and is available widely, and was a huge seller of 2005, winning several AVN Awards.

On September 29, 2007, Pamela Anderson and Salomon applied for a marriage license in Las Vegas. Anderson had told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres in September that she was engaged but did not name Salomon, and referring to her fiancé only as a poker player. Anderson is a mother of two children from her marriages to rock musician Tommy Lee, and was most recently married to Kid Rock.

Anderson and Salomon wed October 6 during a break between the 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows of "Hans Klok's The Beauty of Magic" at Planet Hollywood resort, where Anderson was starring as a magician's assistant. The couple separated less than 10 weeks later, and Anderson filed for divorce on December 14, citing irreconcilable differences.

On December 17, it was reported that Anderson retracted her divorce filing, stating that she and Salomon have "worked things out". [ [http://www.tmz.com TMZ.com - Entertainment News, Celebrity Gossip and Hollywood Rumors ] ]

On January 9, 2008, TMZ.com reported that Anderson and Salomon are expecting a baby; Anderson is nonetheless moving forward with the divorce. She has denied the pregnancy report. [ [http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=f1794736-4aae-4f3a-b2e5-43d6c0a9f4c8 E! online] ]
On February 27, 2008, Foxnews reported that Anderson is seeking an annulment of her marriage to Salomon based on fraud.

On March 21, 2008, People reported that Pamela Anderson isn't the only one claiming fraud in her brief marriage. Now estranged husband Rick Salomon is making the same allegation. A month after Anderson sought an annulment rather than a divorce, Salomon also filed papers to annul the two-month union.
Like Anderson, he checked the box marked "fraud" as the reason for the annulment, say the Superior Court documents filed Friday. Neither has explained why the fraud allegation is being made.
