Hot Photos of Carmen Electra
Carmen Electra is an American glamour model, actress, television
personality, singer, and dancer. She gained celebrity through
appearances in Playboy in 1996 that led to television roles on shows
like Baywatch and MTV's Singled Out. She's continued to be featured in Playboy four more times, appearing on the cover for three of them.
Born: April 20, 1976Perhaps more famous for her physical attributes than for her talent, Carmen Electra managed to parlay a stint as an MTV game show hostess into a career as a TV and movie actress. Born Tara Leigh Patrick and raised in Ohio, Electra left her performing arts high school with plans to become a singer. After a failed album for Prince's Paisley Park label in the early '90s, however, Electra shifted direction. Along with her first Playboy spread, the aspiring entertainer scored her career breakthrough when she replaced Jenny McCarthy as the co-host of MTV's highly-rated dating game Singled Out in 1996. After the show went off the air, Electra successfully stepped in for another buxom TV blonde when she took over lifeguarding duties from Pamela_Anderson on the syndicated hit Baywatch from 1997 to 1998.
Elektra moved to features with a bit part in the comedy Good_Burger (1997) and larger roles in indie movies Starf*cker (1998), The Chosen One: The Legend of the Raven (1998), and Starstruck (1999). It was Electra's infamous several-day marriage to flamboyant basketball star Dennis_Rodman in 1998, though, that further augmented her celebrity. Keeping her assets and tabloid fame in humorous perspective, Electra followed her role as what else, The Female, in the mockumentary The Mating Habits of Earthbound Humans (1999) with a self-parodic turn as the bodacious first victim in the hit horror send-up Scary_Movie (2000).
