The Life Of Carmen Electra
Born as Tara Leigh Patrick in Ohio in 1972, it was easy to see how Carmen Electra got her inspiration to be an entertainer. Her mother Patricia was a singer and Carmen's father was both a guitarist and entertainer. Sadly, Carmen would lose both her mother (brain tumor) and older sister Debbie (heart attack) in 1998. Carmen Electra wanted more than anything else to make it as a singer, but so far she has only recorded one album.
It was 1994 when she had moved to California that Prince discovered her while she was auditioning for an all girl rap band. Prince would talk the talented beauty into cutting a solo album under Prince's own recording company called Paisley Park Records. He also persuaded, then Tara Leigh Patrick, into changing her name to Carmen Electra. Alas, Carmen's singing career would be very brief. However, she would not be deterred from achieving her dreams of fame and fortune. Her singing and glamour modeling careers would eventually lead Carmen Electra to a very successful career as a television personality, a presenter and a Hollywood actress. Carmen started with small TV roles but, her big break and worldwide notoriety would come when she posed for Playboy magazine in May of 1996. That issue of Playboy did so well on the sales rack, Carmen Electra was featured in three more issues of Playboy magazine, two of which she graced its cover. This gave her some of the fame she longed for (albeit some of it was negative) and a serious television career beckoned including MTV's game show Singled Out and the super hit TV show Baywatch.
Carmen Electra would show the television audience her humorous side as she brought her sense of fun to the MTV dating/game show, Singled Out. Her big break came when she was cast as Baywatch babe and lifeguard Lani McKenzie in Baywatch. She was part of the cast which included another beautiful Baywatch babe, Pamela Anderson from 1997 until 1998. The TV show Baywatch would be watched by millions of people, and it soon became the most popular TV show in the world for several years running. No wonder why Baywatch actor David Hasselhoff always seemed to have an ear-to-ear grin on his face. I'd be smiling all day long too if I could work with both Carmen Electra and Pamela Anderson who wore nothing but revealing bikini's all day long. Carmen also be called back to appear in the 2003 Baywatch reunion movie called, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding, which would reunited the cast. In addition to starring in TV shows, Carmen Electra did other work for television. She has appeared in TV commercials for the Taco Bell (2006-2007) and for Maxim's Hair Color for Men products (2004-2005). Today, Carmen is busy doing television commercials as the beautiful spokes model for the Ritz Camera Center company.
As a Hollywood actress, Carmen Electra has appeared in a number of very funny movies, where her sense of humor and timing serves her well for specializing in spoofs and parodies of the "Airplane" mold of comedy. Carmen Electra portrayed the role of Drew Decker in the horror spoof, Scary Movie, which was released in 2000. In Scary Movie 4, which was released in 2006, Carmen would play an entirely different character. In the 2004 movie of Starsky and Hutch starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, which was a spoof on the 1970s super popular TV show of the same name. Carmen was hired to play the part of Staci for which she won an MTV Movie Award for her acting performance in this film. Carmen Electra has also appeared in such films as Good Burger (1997), and The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human (1999). In the Date Movie, she played Anne in a movie which satirized romantic comedies. In Epic Movie Carmen played the X-Men character, Mystique. Epic Movie was a movie that spoofed many different films. In 2008, more satire followed when Carmen Electra played the part of Queen Margo in the film, Meet the Spartans.
Just as it is for every kind of popular government figure, fashion model or media and sports star, it has been no different for Carmen Electra. The media world has taken a great deal of interest in Carmen Electra's private life, especially the romantic part of it. Her romantic involvements include a brief romantic involvement with pop and rock star, Prince in 1994. From 1995 to 1998 she was involved with rap star, B-Real of Cypress Hill. From 1998 to 1999 she a much publicized marriage to NBA basketball bad boy, Dennis Rodman. Carmen would later have a very brief affair with Tommy Lee, who at the time was married to Carmen's Baywatch co-star Pamela Anderson. In 2003, Carmen Electra would have her second marriage. This time it was to lead guitarist Dave Navarro, a former member of popular rock bands, Jane's Addiction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their marriage would end in divorce in 2007. Carmen Electra is presently engaged to Rob Patterson, the guitarist for heavy metal group KoRn. May it last forever!
Carmen Electra has had a very exciting life. I wonder if this is the life this beautiful fashion model, musician, TV show actress and host, Hollywood movie star, commercial spokes person, and overall entertainer dreamed about when she was younger?
