Tara Leigh
Patrick (born April 20, 1972), professionally known as
Carmen Electra, is an American glamour model, television
personality, singer and actress.
Early life: Tara was born in Sharonville, Ohio, a
suburb of Cincinnati, to Patricia, a vocalist, and Harry
Patrick, an entertainer and guitarist; her mother died
of a brain tumor in 1998. She had an older sister,
Debbie, who died from a heart attack, also in 1998. Tara
attended the School for Creative and Performing Arts in
Cincinnati, Princeton High School in Sharonville and
also attended, very briefly, Forest Park High School.
Career: After moving to California, she met
singer Prince (a Minneapolis native), who persuaded her
to change her name to Carmen Electra. Soon after, she
signed a recording contract with Paisley Park Records,
Prince's company, marking the start of a short-lived rap
career, which included one album.
In 1995, Electra started appearing in various television
programs. Then, in May of 1996 she was featured in a
nude pictorial in Playboy magazine, the first of
several. This exposure led to higher profile television
appearances, including Baywatch (cast member from
1997-1998) and MTV's Singled Out. She returned to
Baywatch for the 2003 reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian
Wedding.
Perhaps 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.
At age five she entered in and won her first dance
contest. She went on to be in over 100 tap and ballet
contests. She attended the School for Creativity and
Performing Arts at age 9. She also went to Princeton
High School in Sharonville. Later on in her life she
signed with Prince's music company Paisley Park Label
and became one of his Protege's. Her first album was
self-titled and she released a single Go-Go Dancer after
many delays. The album never took off because of
problems with executives. It was remixed and new tracks
were added and finally released in July of 1992. Her
video had came out in March 1992.
After that she occasionally appeared as a dancer in
Prince's Glam Slam Clubs and also performed in front of
the October 28 1996 MTV Rock N' Jock B-Ball Jam
audience.Then she appeared in the May 1996 Playboy
issue. She made a video called Cheerleaders for Playboy
also.
Then she got her big break when just three weeks after
auditioning for Singled Out she was offered the job. On
February 10 1997 she became Co-Host of Singled Out.
Since then she has been in many TV and Movie appearances
including Good Burger, Loveline, Baywatch, All That,
Baywatch Nights and of course Singled Out.
Elektra moved to features with a bit part in the comedy
Good Burger (1997) and larger roles in indie movies
Starfucker (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).
While Elektra failed to land any big successes in the
ensuing handful of years, 2004 saw her emerge again,
gaining notice on both the large and small screens. In
the wake of such hit shows as The Osbournes, The Anna
Nicole Show, and, most notably, Newlyweds, Elektra and
husband-to-be Dave Navarro agreed to let an MTV camera
crew record their lives for the reality show Til Death
Do Us Part. Meanwhile, she also showed up to steal a few
scenes in the tongue-in-cheek feature-film version of
Starsky and Hutch.
Electra has appeared in several films, such as Good
Burger (1997), The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human
(1999), the horror spoof Scary Movie (2000) and also
appeared in Scary Movie 4 (2006), Epic Movie (2007), and
the remake of the 1970s TV show Starsky & Hutch
(2004). Her acting work is generally panned by critics.
In 2005, she joined the voice cast of the animated
series Tripping the Rift, replacing Gina Gershon as the
voice of the sexy android "Six". In late 2006,
Carmen began to be featured in commercials by Taco Bell.
Electra is the current spokesmodel for Ritz Camera
Centers, appearing in their television and print ads
with CEO David Ritz. She is featured in some video
spoofs of Lonelygirl15 that are advertising Epic Movie.
She is a playable character in the video game Def Jam:
Fight for New York and is one of the celebrity
challenges in the video game, ESPN NFL 2K5, along with
Steve-O, Jamie Kennedy, and others.
Personal life: Electra was previously
romantically involved with rap star B Real of Cypress
Hill from 1995 to 1998. It was revealed when B Real and
Electra were both on The Howard Stern Show that B Real
had purchased breast implants for her.
Electra achieved publicity during her on-again,
off-again marriage to basketball star Dennis Rodman from
1998 to 1999. The wedding to Rodman took place at Little
Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas, Nevada. Later, she
had a brief affair with Tommy Lee, the ex-husband of
Pamela Anderson.
On November 22, 2003, Electra married Dave Navarro,
former lead guitarist for the rock bands Jane's
Addiction and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. The couple
documented their courtship and marriage in an MTV
celebreality show called 'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen
& Dave. On 17 July 2006, she and Navarro announced
their separation. Their rep confirmed their separation
to Star Magazine. Electra filed for divorce on 10
August. It was finalized on February 20, 2007.
In 2006, Electra stated that when she was eight years
old she had a "little girl crush" on Joan
Jett. In 2007, tabloid sources linked the two of them
together romantically. However, Electra's spokeswoman
has insisted "They are just friends."
