Carmen Electra decided to relocate to Minneapolis, where she resided
with her sister, and she made a living as a clothes model for Target
department stores. After four years went by, Carmen decided to move to
Los Angeles, change her then name Tara Leigh Patrick to Carmen Electra,
and only one week after doing all this, Carmen ran into musical talent,
Prince. Since Prince liked Carmen’s appearance
and style, he signed her
to a Paisley Park Records label deal in 1992. Unfortunately, despite all
of Prince’s efforts in helping Carmen by promoting her and her new
album, her music career failed miserably. Her single Go-Go Dancer hardly
got any airtime on MTV, and when the single hit the store shelves in
1992, it didn’t sell well at all. Three years later, Carmen had renewed
her flailing image and appeared on the Nickelodeon show entitled All
That.
Perhaps Carmen Electras most noted move was her posing for Play boy
in 1996. As well, she did a Play boy video entitled Playboy
Cheerleaders, and Carmen shows off her “musical” talents by singing
“2-4-6-8″. That same year, Carmen began guest hosting on the MTV
Loveline.
A couple of months later, Lisa Berger, MTV’s vice president,
announced that Carmen Electra was chosen to be Jenny McCarthy’s
replacement on the show Singled Out. Although the deal was for 65
episodes, Carmen’s popularity was not that of Jenny’s and the show
eventually fizzled. Considering Carmen was a voluptuous and beautiful
woman, it was only natural that Baywatch came knocking on Carmen’s door.
She came on as a replacement for Pamela Anderson and did a splendid job
(no, seriously). Since then, Carmen has appeared in a comic book, was
the national spokesperson for Budweiser beer, and she appeared in the
2000 sleeper comedy hit of the year Scary Movie in the famous scene
running across the lawn and loosing her implants.
On the personal front, Carmen Electra relationship with Dennis Rodman
has become a breeding ground for tabloids as well as the rest of the
media. The two tied the knot in 1997 and separated only seven days later
– with Rodman claiming that he wasn’t in his right state of mind at the
time. They ultimately got an annulment. Although the two have been
arrested for fighting in a hotel, the two still remain together despite
all the antics and rumors that are continuously spread about them.
Besides Rodman, Carmen Electra has been romantically linked to Tommy
Lee, Cypress Hill’s B-Real and Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst.
