Born April 20,
1972 in Cincinnati,
Ohio, Tara Leigh Patrick
has become the bad girl of
female celebritydom.
Tara changed her name to
Carmen Electra before
releasing her first self
titled album in 1992. She
had been discovered by The
Artist Formerly Known
as Prince and the album
was released under his
Paisley Park label.
While
reports
indicate that the two were
a couple Electra denied
such claims
in her appearance in
Playboy magazine in June
of 1997. She did have some
success with the tune Go-go
Dancer but largely
her musical career
was a flop. Electra
carried her popularity on
with a role in Good
Burger
and landed Jenny
McCarthy's departed
position on MTV's Remote
Control
in the same year, while on
top of that landing a role
in Baywatch
playing the part of Lani
McKensie. Her stint on Baywatch
lasted
two years before she
decided to hang it up and
concentrate on a film
career,
one which largely has been
unsuccessful, with roles
in Starstruck
and Chosen One: The
Legend of the Raven
in 1998. Electra is
scheduled
to appear in Scary
Movie in 2000 as
well.
What has
gotten Carmen more
attention though is her
relationship with
basketball nut case
Dennis Rodman.
The two have engaged in
an on-again off-again
relationship since 1997
which
included a marriage that
was allegedly arranged
by Electra when Rodman
was drunk (although it
would be hard to arrange
any event with Rodman
sober,
as the LA Lakers have
found out!). When asked
what she saw in Dennis,
Carmen
has said "I've always
wanted to marry a drag
queen and he loves
dressing
up in women's clothes -
plus he has a nice
butt." The marriage
quickly
fizzled but the two have
remained close
throughout, though both
have had
their hands in the
'cookie jar' so to
speak. Published reports
claim that
when Carmen spotted
Dennis in bed with two
women in a hotel room,
she stormed
out and told Dennis she
was heading to Ohio to
meet with family but
truthfully
she was going to get
even with Rodman by
having her own fling
with former
Motley Crue drummer
Tommy Lee after he was
released from jail for
beating
his wife, Pamela
Anderson. The two spent
a few days in a hotel
room together
themselves while Motley
Crue was on tour and
when the Crue moved on
to
their next gig, she
returned to California.
The two also were
reportedly
living with each other
for some time in Tommy's
mansion. Soon after,
Rodman
found out about the
fling and was livid.
Rodman had Tommy so
scared he
hired a full time body
guard to protect him
from the 6'8 tattooed
mammoth.
In a show in Vegas,
Rodman motioned for the
Motley Crue drummer to
join
him in the audience and
later tried to get
backstage, but was
resisted
by security.
Pamela also
had a very jealous
reaction, as her reading
about the affair in The
Enquirer reportedly was
the main reason the two
got back together for
the third time. She
apparently
called Carmen and
exclaimed "You leave my
man alone!" and slammed
down
the phone. Electra was
told to have been
furious when Tommy
called and
told her the
relationship was over,
since she reportedly had
expected to
be the next Mrs. Lee.
Electra's other
relationships were with
Cypress Hill's
B-Real and Limp Bizkit
frontman Fred Durst. She
also has spent some time
partying with former Baywatch
star (he played David
Hasselhof's
son) and recovering drug
addict Jeremy Jackson.
Jackson told the
Enquirer
recently "I would come
to work high and then
Carmen Electra and I
would
go out and party all
night. I was underage,
but that didn't stop me
from
getting into all of the
hottest clubs in Los
Angeles." Most recently,
she
has gotten back together
with Dennis and was
arrested in Miami's
Bentley
Hotel with Rodman for a
domestic dispute.
Charges against the two
were
later dropped. The
controversial Donna
D'Errico, her former Baywatch
co-star, recently
smacked Carmen with the
insult that she was a
"Celebrity
Leech"... It should be
interesting to see if
this wild gal settles
down
and focuses on her
acting career or if she
winds up like the many
other
celebrities that let
fame and fortune get to
their heads.
