And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you along for the ride. Get ready for some major realness. Welcome to the skinny confidential, him and her.

Baywatch was over and, yeah, like there was a moment where I was single. And I, this is so crazy. I was with a bunch of my friends. I'm leaving the club. And Dennis Rodman and his crew is coming in. And they took my coat off, like literally like, stay. I'm like, no, no, no, we're going to go. Through my coat behind the bar.

And then said, what do you want to drink? And I'm just like, okay, I guess we're here. Come in, come hither. Come join us. for the one, the only, the iconic Carmen Electra. You may know her. I'm sure you know her. She is an American glamour model, an actress, a TV personality, a singer, a dancer,

and of course, an iconic sex symbol. We talk about Prince, gaining fame, MTV Baywatch Playboy, Dave Navarro, we even talk about Dennis Rodman. She really goes back and reflects. on her evolution throughout Hollywood, which I think is really cool and sort of tells a story in this episode. If you're someone who has followed Carmen Electra

for a long time, I think you'll love this episode because it's like through her lens. Carmen Electra, welcome to the Him and Her show. This is the skinny confidential, him and her. How many people in this office do you think have or had a picture of Carmen Electra on their wall? Two out of two, three out of three.

Taylor behind us already... Does it count if you had more than one? I love that. I love it. I think he still does. Really? Big fan. I love that so much. He's only wanted to take pictures with three people that have come on the podcast.

And you're going to be number three. He already told us. And that's out of like 750 of these. He doesn't care about anyone but certain people. Okay. Carmen Electra, you are here on the podcast. We want to get the lay of the land with you. We want to get your...

story. You were born in Ohio. Mm-hmm. Okay, talk to us about what your childhood was like. I grew up with really supportive parents and they really wanted me to well, my mom said when I was born, I came out dancing and I was always moving so dance was kind of like the obvious place

for me. And so she put me in classes. They would work extra jobs. My dad My dad is like a real guitar player. He discovered Bootsie Collins. He's played with the Ohio players. Like he was funky. He was into the blues.

So they just worked extra jobs so I could study. And when I was nine years old, I auditioned for the school for creative and performing arts. And that probably was the best thing ever because you're kind of learning. learning, you know, whatever you're, I mean, it's almost like college. So you can start from the fourth grade to the 12th grade. And you're with like all these diverse people. And it was always taught, like we, you know, if there was always a chance for everyone. So if we put on the sound of music, they would be like everyone was considered no matter what your race or color is.

And that was beautiful to me And that was kind of where I learned I think to be open And just, I don't know I had fun there When you're nine years old and you're already performing Is that crazy to look back on? I mean, nine years old is young

Well, I started dancing when I was five By the age of seven I had over 100 trophies Because I was competing And then I was also auditioning for the gymnastics team but it was kind of like, are you going to choose ballet? I kept spreading my ankle, you know, because it gets serious when you audition for the team. And I made it, but I had to make a choice.

And just because I had been studying classical ballet for so long at that point, I think it was easier because our school, I mean, I majored in dance. My minor was vocal music and drama. So you are very talented in a lot of different areas. It's not just dance. Well, I will definitely say, though, I've always been really shy. I got over my shyness. I was just saying, I wouldn't peg you as shy.

I know. You can't shut me up now. When I came to Los Angeles, I just wanted to be a dancer, maybe for Jenna Jackson or artists. and that's what I came to do but for some reason I kept getting putting in the middle What do you mean by the middle What does that mean?

I went to Someone brought me into Capital Records and they I got signed to a demo deal and it was me You know what I mean? It was so scary And then I auditioned for a group

that Prince was putting together and when I auditioned I didn't get a response. So I just thought, great, though. I've got this capital deal. And they'll keep me in L.A. and I'm going to meet a lot of producers. And I mean, it is scary, though, when you just go in and like, sing this and da-da-da-da.

Because I had been studying more like my childhood for musicals, you know, and it's a whole different tone. So you thought you wanted to be like a background dancer for Janet Jackson and then they put you... Yeah, artists like that. I wanted to tour. I didn't have to be in the front.

I was cool being a part of a group. Weren't you with the Pussy Cat dolls for a while? We're not there yet. We're not there yet. You can't jump ahead. I'm contextualizing all this together. Yeah. So when you meet Prince,

what was that like? Like, what was he like if you were to describe him? You know, I was 18 years old. And we went to his house and he was kind of standing in a doorway looking like really sexy. And I was, I was only 18. I felt nervous, you know, what's happening here. And so I just auditioned. Like, it was funny.

He went to the piano and literally started playing Dore Me. And I was in The Sound of Music twice at a dinner theater. I played Marta and Brigitte. And so I kind of knew it better than he did because I was performing it. And so he thought that was cute and funny. And oh, then we had to play pool, which I suck at playing pool. I was like, why?

But he was asking me about my dance world and how much he really appreciated the dedication that goes into ballet. It's a lot of work. Your toes are bleeding in your point shoes. and you can't stop. Don't they break the feet in ballet too sometimes so that you can, is that true or is that not true? I think you can break a lot of things or really mess some of your body up,

but I mean, I know a lot of dancers that went on to Joffrey and got an injury and they were just done. Which is so wild that you work your whole life to get there and then you get an injury and it's over. I know. I felt horrible for my friends. And then I thought you should have come out to L.A.

because it was always New York or L.A. So if you're going New York, it will be Broadway, you know. And L.A. is more like a Hollywood. And I also had a friend dancing on Broadway, and she had a knee injury. And that was it. And so I felt kind of lucky in a way that I went to L.A. Because it was a different scene in L.A., I feel like. Totally a different scene.

What happens after you and Prudel? are singing Do Ramey. Like what is the relationship? I mean, does he fall in love with you? He's got to fall in love with you. I don't know. I mean, he was just kind of being him. And then he wanted to see me dance.

So I went full out, you know, dancing in every kind of way. And I felt like he was like, okay, cool, you know. Because I came in with like a certain style of dance. we just dance hard, you know? And he liked that a lot. But then I heard nothing. Nothing. So the girl that it was her band,

she kept saying, I thought you were amazing and I want you in my group, but he's not giving an answer. And so that was, okay, fine, that's cool. I'm cool. Okay, I'm going to move on. I was able to stay in L.A. because of Capitol

and recording demos. So I was in a hotel. The haunted Roosevelt Hotel. That's where you were saying? Yeah, that's what they put me up. It was so scary.

It really is haunted. Everyone used to hang out at the Roosevelt. I think it is. What was the club that was in the Roosevelt back in the day? Oh, there was a good club popping

but this is so... Maybe it was Teddy's, yeah. There was one with clowns or something too, I remember. I don't remember that one. This is, so you're living

at the Roosevelt Hotel and you're working for capital records and then at what point does Prince call? The friend that I was out, that I was able to spend more time to I was like I have two weeks to figure something out and it was

kind of magical. I kid you not. Just boom going in. We're signing you to a demo deal. And then next thing you know, I'm at Prince's house and I'm auditioning and that was weird but I was fine with it okay he doesn't want me

I'm gonna continue doing this and he was able to get in touch with me I remember I think at that point I may have been staying at the Holly wait what's that hotel it's like a very it's a cheap hotel

so like for a minute I was at this hotel what do you call the holiday in honey I love to get it out the holiday day in. And so, you know, I was like eating candy bars. They don't you know, they don't have food.

But I would go wondering around. I just, I've always been like, I'm a wanderer. I call it a putzing around. I go wondering. Yeah. Yeah. I do it. I mean, I done it in Italy. I just go. I like to

just go sometimes. Oh, my God. Michael just roam. I'm a good roamer. I like a roam. I love a room. I don't mind a roam, but it's kind of a He likes a planned out Rome. Oh, I just would leave and whoever was with me didn't even know I was gone. I should just do that to you. Bye.

Bye. You say that. So I just like looking at the culture, looking at the streets, the fashion. And there was so many different things. And I don't know. I have a habit of doing that. I putzing. You got a putts around.

But I think when you kind of just snap back or something, you're not really drawing a lot of attention. So. Hey, Michael? Yeah, I know what I mean. I don't mind

the roaming around. It's just the pace of the roaming is a little slow. The pace of the roaming. That's why I go by myself. I like shopping by myself. Because literally I turn into a zombie. You know,

my eyes are spinning and I'm just like looking at stuff and, you know, figuring out. Sometimes, too, when you're really creative, no offense, Michael. Shopping alone is really good.

Unless you're with someone that shops like you. So you'll, go to completely different departments, but then you'll kind of check in and then go away, then you're in, try and close, you know, I mean, how much fun, I mean, shopping is really fun, isn't it? It's the best, but I want to shop on my own terms. I think back in those days, I would just be looking because I couldn't afford a lot of things. So you were sort of daydreaming about it.

Oh, yeah. I mean, I was going into every store and just looking and paying attention. So does Prince call you back? He gets a hold of me At the holiday in He wanted me to come over and watch Like an old movie And I said no

I'm here to work Okay you thought it was like a he was a kind of No he wasn't asking to come over To eat popcorn Michael if that's what you're wondering Watch an old movie trick Well I don't know what he was actually meaning But it wasn't to work on music So I said no

Yeah And then late Later, later on, he got a hold of me and he knew I was recording and he said, I want to hear your demos. So I said, okay, yeah. He was so funny. He said we could use these as coasters or frisbee's. Because, you know, he's got that great sarcasm. He's hilarious, right?

So he didn't like him? No, no. And he goes, I want to sign you. Hmm. Okay. But I already signed a contract. So I told him that I don't want to have any problems. I signed something with them. He goes, don't worry, I'll get you out of it.

Did he? And he did. Wow. He's Prince. He's Prince. And so when you sign with Prince, what happens in your life? Is that a moment that it sort of took off with your career? It was this moment where,

He's like I was kind of nervous about it. And he said, your flight's going to be leaving at this time. There'll be a car to pick you up. And I was so kind of going, I don't know if I can do this. He said, are you a blonde or a brunette? Just trying to row me up. And so I went. I got up.

I don't, the flight was so early. I flew by myself. I had the smallest bag. And he would say, do you have a lot of clothes? I'm like, of course I'd do. But I really didn't. I just had a couple, like, pieces, you know. So when you go with him and you fly, where do you guys fly?

Where do you go? Where are you traveling to? I flew to Minnesota. Why Minnesota? Because that's where he lives and records in Pacey Park. That's his creative place. Do you think that he picked that place because it was out of L.A. and New York? and he didn't have distraction?

I know he loved L.A. and I know he loved New York, but I'm not sure I can't answer for him, but I felt like he kind of maybe just liked going home, you know? Yeah. And people didn't really bother him so much. Like a sanctuary. Yeah, so he had a house,

and then it was a short, quick couple seconds to get to Paisley Park. But I think in the end, maybe he was living at Paisley Park. I had heard that he burnt the house down for some reason. But I really wasn't involved in his life at that point, so I don't know. When you say he moved back to Paisley Park, like he moved in that area? I think they just made it. Like, he's got a bedroom in there. And he already kind of had that, an office and a bed.

And literally, it was magical. Like, like, Willy Wonka. You know what I mean? Oh, you got the golden ticket. And then go in and it was just so beautiful. Like his house was like perfect. Paisley Park. I mean, his house was beautiful too.

Okay, so both were like amazing design. But I think some people like just automatically now say he lived at Paisley Park. Got it. He kind of did because he would record all the time. But at that point he had a house too. So when you fly out to see him, what do you guys do? Is he immediately teaching, like teaching you how to record, or did he let you have fluidity with your creativity?

Well, I came in. There was a purple limousine that picked me up at the airport. And his brother, Dwayne, was driving. And I really loved his brother a lot. He passed away. But Dwayne and I had this closeness that was really special. Just he called me on this phone. I'm back in this limo.

I haven't, I don't think I've ever been in a limo. so it was just like so much and he calls me back there and just said I want you to buy something white and a white headband and so we found that like they just took me to some place that I didn't I didn't know where was at it was like it was a big adventure to just go like that it's really kind and wait you see asking you to buy a white dress and a white headband to like marry you? No, not at that point. Oh, I thought that he's like asking you to come. I think, I think he just, he has these visions. I don't know. That's what he wanted. And I was totally fine with

going shopping. Let's go. So what happens when you actually get there? Are you immediately thrown into recording? No, I was living at his house for a moment. And did he fall in love with you? Yeah. I don't want to like speak for him. But. you know, eventually. It just took me a while, you know. I was really young. But he was madly in love with you. It seemed like it.

I could say it seemed like it for sure. So what point of your career, when you look back, do you feel like it really started to take off? Because this is a huge moment to be from Ohio. And now Prince is wanting... And now I'm living in Minnesota. It's wild. It's wild.

Yeah. So is this a... Is this a moment that you look back on that you think really started everything that's happened for you? I definitely, it would definitely was like the rooted part, even like what coming from a dance world. I mean, I learned a lot from him. I would always watch the way he worked. He was an amazing dancer, right? Oh, yeah.

He could do the moves. He was good at the moves. Yeah. Yeah. No, he was high energy all the time, always required. And then all of a sudden he was like we were working on songs together and you know and that was cool. I mean I was very nervous but we record a song like that never I don't think it ever came out.

It's one of my favorite songs that we recorded and it was called Carmen on top. And it was so funky. The music was so funky. You got to re-release it. You have to re-release that. I can't do that. I mean, I don't, I don't own it. I mean, I have it on a cassette.

But. Petition to get that out. What is your next sort of, like, moment in your career that happened that you look back on that was something that sort of shaped everything you've been through? Was it Baywatch next? No, it was MTV. MTV? Yeah. And what happened with that?

for singled out. Jenny McCarthy was doing it, and then she had gotten her own comedy sketch show on MTV. So they were looking for, you know, someone to fill in for her. And I'm like, you know, one of my friends, I'm a goofball, I'm fun. I, like, I don't know, I'm a dork and all those things. But I was really shy. And I had to just take it in and go, well, if I'm going to go here for this,

audition I need to be like on fire and I got the part and it was just like I couldn't believe it and it was a blast that was that was more like I would say this my school was had a college vibe Prince had a college vibe I didn't go to college but MTV was like when you party and it's wild it just kind of threw you into it oh it was fun it was fun all those spring breaks and interviewing. I forgot about all those spring break shows on the MTV.

That's like the area we came up in. Do you think that because you put yourself out there with MTV and threw yourself into the deep end that it took away your shyness? Because I would not describe you as shy. No, it completely did. Something changed. And I'm happy for that. So I learned a lot there.

Yeah. And then I learned things like, because you'd be nervous. Sometimes you're running, you're going live. you know, they'd have me on red carpets interviewing. I remember it was the Howard Stern premiere. They flew me out there. Did a movie, you mean?

Yes, in New York, private parts in New York. And, you know, I'm interviewing people. And, you know, it was a huge red carpet and it was such a big deal. I mean, I got to interview so many people. It was really cool. You're doing podcasting before podcasting was out. I interviewed Eminem. in the early days

and I mean there was just I remember he used to go on Stern too back in the day I remember those interviews all the time is that nerve-wracking I feel like that would make me nervous

I love Stern no I love him I love Howard I was going on there super early and these wild little outfits and then he always had me come back

and we had fun I wonder why we always had fun no I love Howard you have to have a good personality it's not just about the way you look to go on Stern. You got to have a good person out. He's not going to invite you back over and over. He's going to

he's going to play with you. And if you don't play back, you're never going to get out there. You'll be stuck in there because like, Bubba Booie comes out and then no, no, no. But I loved it. I don't, you know, it was fun for me. Did he ever give you tips on how to interview when you were on the red carpet? No. No tips. Nope. No tips. I think Howard should have, you know, you know, you back on and you guys should share a bunch of tips. He did a book recently all about interviewing. I read the book, but the book is not, it's not tips on interviewing. It's interviews.

In fact, I think you are in there. Oh, yeah? He transcribed interviews. So, so tell us about the behind the scenes at MTV. This is pre-baywatch. Tell us about what it's like. Is it catty? Is it fun?

And you mentioned that it's kind of like high school, but what's the behind the scenes like? Like college. College. Yeah. Because every Friday when we finish shooting, we'd go to karaoke and drink. You know what I mean? And everyone was like in that mode. Like people would dress up as strange things.

And it was just to bring the high energy levels up. And, you know. Because it was those spring break shows too, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I remember. I mean, the big stage outside. Do you remember what I walked out when Litt was playing?

I was only going to walk out. and then all of a sudden, I just started dancing. Oh, I do remember that. I remember that. And it became like this iconic moment for the time. It was like a beach, right? It was in Cancun.

That's right. It was in Cancun. Well, it was great. We wouldn't be, you know, okay, we're going to Jamaica. And sometimes I wouldn't even know. Like, yeah, even Destiny's Child when they were young. I got interviewed all the girls.

That's wild. I know. I pulled it all. A lot of careers. So many things. But the rule became, if you mess up, it's punk rock. And I was like, oh my God, that should be the rule of everything. Because I never wanted to mess up, you know?

But then I didn't care anymore. Great, it's punk rock. Let's go. So it was cool to sort of not be perfect. Yeah. You know what's crazy about... Messups were great. About like MTV during your time is that they're, like, right now there's like, you're

sort of like competing with the world because of social media. So there's like all different kinds of influencers and entrepreneurs and podcasters. But when you were doing MTV in my head, there was like three top girls. And it was like, to me, it was like you, Jenny McCartney, Jenny McCartney, McCarthy and Pamela Anderson. Like those were the three. There wasn't like a ton of you guys that I remember. Is that how it felt like behind the scenes? It did. Yeah. Like there's Are those the three that I'm, am I saying that right? Yeah, I think, yeah. I would say at that time.

I mean, that's pretty cool. Because now it's like, it's like so much. And then when I was, I think Baywatch saw me on MTV and had me come into audition when Pamela was leaving. But there was a lot of other girls that came along as well. So I never wanted to feel like, because she to me is just like, the. queen of Baywatch. I never wanted to feel like, oh my God, like I'm stepping into her shoes now. But there was a lot of other girls brought in the same time, and I love that. I was like, yes.

The more girls, the merrier. The better. When you were asked to audition for Baywatch, what does that look like? Is it just, is it boring? Like, are you just in a box test reading, or is it a whole production? They have this, they have this office where, everything could happen there. So I went up and to do my reading, you know, for the audition, David Hasselhoff was there. Yeah. And I got through that part fine.

And then they said, here's the red suit. Go put that red suit on. I was like, really? Okay. I left my high heels on. It's like, come on this. I got to take those off. I was like, God, did I shave my legs?

I'm like, whoa, this is wild, but I did it. I did a little twirl. And then they asked me if I could swim. And I said, of course. I said, okay, we're going to go down. There was a pool in the office where we would do a lot of underwater scenes because you're not going to be able to get that in the ocean. So there's a lot, like when you see everyone swing on top

and then they go under, it was in the pool. there. So yeah, I just remember standing on the edge of the pool and saying whatever kind of prayer I said. I have no idea in my mind. And then I just thought I'm going to, everyone always said tuck your chin. I did that. I think my dive was probably amazing from the dancing. And there wasn't a long, it's so different when you swim in a pool as opposed to the ocean. It's so different. So, it's so different. I got the part. I was like, wow, this is great. So it just kind of went to this, to this.

And then there's also a great connection with Playboy. But at the time I was going on to the show, I had done Playboy already. With a celebrity pictorial. But then I had this team around me. I remember it singled out. All these men shut up in suits. And they were like, you need an agent. and we had this grand meeting

and it was so cool that things were happening and I said you need a publicist and you need a manager. So we sat and we interviewed people and I think at that time my publicist was trying to tone down the sexiness because we were always in the suit

although that's not even who I am. I loved it. Like you loved the sexiness? I loved it, But they were kind of like, no, yeah, I did one of the first covers of Maxim when it came out. I remember that. And I was like in these leather pants. Everything was like pretty covered, you know?

So when Playboy approaches you, are you like, fuck yeah? Or did you have to like go through 20? Oh, no. I was really excited. I mean, I just remember the first time I went in. I had to, you have to shoot a lot. And they offered me to be a playmate or to do a celebrity pictorial. And I looked at the contracts, even though I probably don't do that now.

Someone looked at them. But I was kind of on my own on that, you know, in the beginning. And so I looked at what the playmates would do and then the money. And then I looked at this contract. And I was like, no, I'm doing that, this one. I'm going to do the celebrity pictorial. don't pay the playmates as well as the celebrities? I think that you will,

they paid well, but not as much, so it didn't make sense to me. What are the responsibilities of a playmate compared to just if you... I really don't know all that, but, I mean, I've heard,

you know, some of the girls would have to live there. I didn't want... We had Crystal on the show. I didn't want to live there. I mean, I like to go to parties and that was fun. I think that you've always done

a really good job. of separating your like that was really sort of strategic I kind of felt like what I want to do and then as things were happening the pictorial would be something that felt more of the direction I wanted to go in when they tell you although I love all the playmates like I had nothing against it you know and a lot of the girls were like playmate of the month of the year or whatever not the month the year. And there was definitely a connection with Baywatch and Playboy. This episode is brought to you by Squarespace.

This is caused by a lack of the essential fatty acid C-15. As many as one in three people worldwide may have low C-15 levels which will lead to cellular fragility syndrome. This can accelerate, aging-related breakdown and impair metabolic liver and heart health. This is such a big deal. We're getting ready to have the founders of Fatty 15 on this podcast to have an in-depth conversation all around this subject.

I can't wait for it. But in the meantime, I highly suggest you check out Fatty 15 and learn more about C-15. It's pretty simple. Essential nutrients keep ourselves healthy, which keeps us healthy. If you want to get sciencey about it, studies show that C-15 works by strengthening our cells, improving our mitochondrial function, and protecting us against damaging free radicals. The result, better long-term metabolic liver and heart health. Who doesn't want that? As it ends up, many of us are deficient in C-15, which results in weaker cells that make less energy and quit working earlier than they should. All of that makes us age faster, sleep poorly, feel sluggish. Does this sound familiar? If so, it's maybe because you're deficient in C-15. Faddy-15 is a science-backed award-winning

vegan and pure C-15 supplement by replenishing ourselves with the essential C-15 nutrient. Fatty-15 effectively repair cells and restores our long-term health. Of course, we have a special offer for our listeners. Fatty 15 is on a mission to replenish your C-15 levels and restore your long-term health.

When you do Playboy at this time, do they tell you what you have to do to come in? Are they like, you have to be this tan, you have to shave this way, you have to have...

No, they would do that all there. So they tell you, they say it's up to you what you want to do. They had great body makeup that should come out again because they're not making it anymore. You should make it. You should start a business. I know. That's the business. I know. Body makeup. I know the formula, because I still have the bottles. Oh yeah, honey. And that was like a secret. That was a good, like, and they always lit everything well, even though we were outside. There's nothing worse than bad lighting. It took a lot of time for them to light.

So I think because all these things they would do looked very magical and you're by the water. So people would from all over the world would want to come in. I remember coming out of my trailer and, you know, the one piece of the one piece. got smaller and smaller of the time, which was totally fine with me. But everyone's taking pictures and everyone will watch everything and like, okay, you know, that's wild. When you started doing Baywatch, was that, I'm just going to guess, one of the hardest gigs you'd ever done because you have to get in and out of the water and there's acting. It was definitely, and I have high respect for the people that stayed for all that time. I mean, for me, for me,

me the things I would you know we were expected to do most of our stunts because

people had been complaining at that point they didn't believe anyone was doing their stunts and our there's a weird

point in Baywatch where like the body and the person didn't look anywhere near like the people you know what I mean

yeah so they were like no you're going to do everything we're doing everything those old 90s

in like 2000s era splices were interesting there's these moments though where I'm I felt like I could celebrate because they would say,

or the script would say, you're tandem surfing. I don't know how to surf. You know what I mean? Okay, we're tandem surfing. Okay, so that means, you know, and we kind of learned it in the episode, but going on the while,

and these are professionals that would, like, literally, like, push you in the air. Like, your acrobatics, like, all the ballet and all the acrobatics and things came into hands, But it was really scary. But making it through and like literally I just felt like I did this. It was so, I'm looking back. Like I could fall off.

I could anyone could fall off from a high level. And then I just remember I waved at the camera. Boom. That was it. So you had to constantly challenge yourself. Oh, yeah. I even had the flu. I got two tickets on the way out because we had to shoot where there were waves a little bit.

So it was way out. Did you have you get scared? And I was like speeding on the way. Don't ever speed on PCH. You're going to get a ticket. You know? So what happened? I got a ticket on the way and on the way home.

Wait. But I had the flu and I, but I did everything I was supposed to do. Were you not, this is maybe a stupid question, but were you not scared of sharks being so way out? I would be petrified. They would disgust them, you know. And sometimes there were. I don't know. We were just supposed to do what we had to do.

Yeah, I wasn't not going to not try things. Is every single guy on the cast hitting on you at this point? There was a guy that was, he was a little flirtatious, but the thing was, is I was engaged to be real from Cyprus Hill at that time, and I don't think people really know that. I didn't know that. Yeah, I know, it's funny. It's just something that never came up.

And I, his family is my family. And if it wasn't for him and his whole family, I don't know if I would have been able to get a car to go to auditions, you know? And so I just, like, their family is my family to this day. Because that means you were just, you were not interested in anybody else at the time. You were just. No, I wasn't. But, you know, these.

hot bodies or flirting, but, you know, I'm, I'm, if I'm with somebody, I'm with them, you know. I bet a lot of people have a lot of questions about the behind the scenes on the Baywatch set. I felt, I imagine it was like Melrose's place. Well, what I, okay, I was very green going into acting and I didn't really realize. And my, my partner, my love interest was David Chokichi. But I didn't know if it says kiss, like. you don't have to use your tongue. I didn't know that's kind of an overall role of acting

unless it's some type of specific movie where it would require that. We didn't need to require that on Baywatch, you know? But I didn't know, so I just tonged him down. Poor guy. No, everyone loved it. How terrible for him. I mean, and then I kind of cringe when I say,

see it because I'm just you know I would not know that either I wouldn't know that if I was called to kiss someone I would want to make it look real right yeah like acting yeah yeah but I I figured it out later when I started working at other movies that

oh you don't have to do that I was like great whatever maybe just made it the scene even better I'll take it as that but I was a little embarrassed that I just went let me ask you this was he like whoa whoa whoa, stop that? No, of course not.

I don't think he was okay. He lived. He's like, let's shoot another scene. I was just like, you know, later on like, oh my God, should I be embarrassed or is it like hot? I think it's cool. Okay, good. Yeah, what do you mean? Like, I have to accept it.

If someone calls to kiss someone, no one's kissing without tongue if you're like with someone, are they? No, but there's certain scripts that you, it doesn't require that at all. No, I heard that sometimes

I would just look at it as like this one didn't require that like you just go like like a brush oh you don't have to like just lips moving and blah blah blah but I like went tongue deep I've heard some actors actors and actresses actually fuck so I mean yeah I've heard they actually I've heard some of those rumors too they actually I don't know if it's true or not they actually fuck in the real scene to make it real I have a feeling we all we were thinking of the same movie but I'm not I'm not really we all we were thinking of the same movie but I'm not. not gonna, because I don't really know, but it looks. I'll tell you off air. It looks. It looks like it. Yeah, there's a couple. What movie of it is? It was a big movie.

It was a huge movie. It was a huge. A big, big movie. Big movie. And also, Ben Affleck really showed his real dick and Gone Girl. Really? That's his real dick. Go look at it.

It is. I'm going to go. I can't wait to tune it. Wow. Now we're going to go back and look at body parts. Great. I don't know if I want to see his. It's pretty big.

It's down his knee. Good for him. It's big. You also see Mark Wahlberg's real dick in Duis, or not Duskello, in Boogie Nights. I don't think that's real. You don't think so?

No. I think it's prosthetics? It's good for him. Prostatics. Yeah, Prostatics. Taylor showed his dick on this show, so you never know what's going to happen, right? I hope you're not showing your dick on the show, too.

Taylor. She's just joking. Don't worry, Carmen. I'm not afraid of it. She's maybe seen one. Whatever. Okay. So at what point do you?

you break up with the Cypress Hill. What did you call him? Be real. Be real. Be real. I don't. Insane in the membrane. Okay, I know who that is. When she sings that. I don't, I listen to Basanova. You got no street credulous. Oh, they're bad. Yeah, I was learning the rules of the street. He taught me the rules of the street, you know. Because he was a blood, you know. No, I didn't know that.

It was a blood. Like a real one? So I was with gangsters all the time. Wait, he's a real blood. You do not know. Yeah. I know. But like, you know, I think they and just, you know, maybe coming out of that because, you know, the music. Because he got, he did, he did so well with music because of his, like.

Legit, he was a blood. You weren't scared. Taylor, hold on. No, I wasn't scared. Are you eating something back there? What does that smell? Me? No, I'm not.

I smell popcorn. Yeah, I smell popcorn. I never know. One time he opened like Kong Pout chicken back there. No, he opened the Kahnbeckst. No, but it was badass because he really taught me to love. of the streets. What's the laws of the street?

What do you mean? There's a lot of them. I mean, it's just kind of what to look out for. I mean, I'm on this beef episode. This is wild. Check this out. A lot of people don't know this either. There was a series called Beef.

And it was like West Coast, East Coast, Cypress and Cube. And it's, you could find it. And I had watched them before. But the thing was is that like, Cypress took in the song for Ice Cube to listen to. And it was like, throw your set in the air. Like throw your set.

You know what I mean? And so he didn't end up putting it in the movie. But what they felt like was he copied the song. And it was like, put your hood in the air or something like that. So there was this huge beef. I'm with B at that time. he gets a not even a text at that point

he had like a skygram and then said watch out watch out for your white bitch you guys broke up were you single at this point Baywatch was over and yeah

like there was a moment where I was single and I this is so crazy I was with a bunch of my friends we walk into a club well we're leaving the club. Sorry, I'm leaving the club. And Dennis Rodman and his crew is coming in. And they took

my coat off, like literally like stay and like, no, no, no, we're going to go through my coat behind the bar. And then said, what do you want to drink? And I'm just like, okay, I guess we're here. I'm going to get my typical sex on the beach that I still, that's my. That's your drink order? I don't even know if people would know how to make it anymore. But I, I, I, I've always, that was always my little, my little cocktail drink. What's a sex on the beach by Carmen Elektra? Tell us how to make it. Oh my God, I would have to look it up because I'd ever have really made it. I just asked the bartenders. I feel like it's got like peach snobs and it's got a bunch of things in it.

Taylor, Google it. It tastes sweet. Okay. It tastes sweet. And you can get really tipsy quickly. So Dennis Rodman sees you at the bar in your hot outfit ordering a sex in the beach? I was walking out with my friends. We were done. We were like leaving the club. And they were coming in. And he always had like this huge entourage of people. And so they like stopped us.

And then I don't know my coat. Like give me your coat. And it was still in behind the bar. And I'm just, I was like, I want to go. I don't want to be here. But we exchanged numbers. And he was always trying to call me. I never answered him back.

Oh, they always fall for that. And then... This is the way to get a guy, guys. I don't know what happened. Like, I was invited, he invited me to go to a bull's game. And I just went. I just went by myself. And he fell in love.

It felt quick. Yeah. It was quick. It was very quick. I don't even know how to explain it. How long were you guys together before you got married? I don't even know. I don't think it was even that long.

You know? At this point. He was, that made some headlines. I remember that. Oh, it's crazy. I couldn't look at, like, I was on the news every day about that. People, all my friends were there. It was because it was in Vegas, I didn't want to do it.

I didn't want to get married in Vegas. Why? Seems kind of fun. No? No, it's not fun. Why? Tell me where you, if you could envision, you're perfect. I was in my regular clothes that we were out that night in.

And then I had a calendar. or shoot and I need to leave that next morning. And he kept waking me up. He was having people come to the bed, wake me up out of my sleep. And all my friends happened to be there. It was just one of those times where all of his cool friends were there and all of my girlfriends were there. And he was sending them up to me. And I just remember, finally, he picked me up and I'm standing on the bed so now we're even height because I'm four or two and a half. And he was crying. Come on, please, Mama, marry me.

And I was, I was deep. I will always have, like, this love for him. I don't even know there was a connection. That would happen right away. When I first went there, he's like, you're never going to leave. And even, like, I would say, like, Michael Jordan, like, I got to do things that none of the other girls got to do. Because I don't know why. I mean, when they won the last championship, I knew it was going to be my fault if he didn't win.

If they, you know, if he didn't, if Rodman didn't play good, it goes back on you. And so, wait, what? Oh, don't you know that about sports? No. They didn't athlete. And if they don't play well. Let's hope she doesn't at this point. And they don't play well.

It's the girlfriend's fault or the wife's fault. Like sports people, they love their. athletes. Okay. So he wins. What happens if he wins? Oh, it was a huge celebration. I was cool. You didn't mean what happens if they did. And it was on the last dance, you know, it was on the last dance. What is the last dance? Oh my God, fine. No, I don't know what's fine. Oh, my God. It was, it's the documentary. Michael Jordan asked me to do it. You guys, oh my God, it's a necessary watch. We're going to have to brush up on some cultural things around here. I'm sorry watching how Michael Jordan grew, how the team came in, and it was Rodman Pippin and Jordan.

And, I mean, they had already won a million rings, I would say. So when he wins? I got to go back. This is just Michael Jordan being nice because, you know, he runs it. You know, Michael Jordan runs a show. So security grabbed me. They brought me in. champagne's flowing everyone's just ah

and then he went to the he went to a room and it was only the basketball players and I was what Dennis pulled me in you guys are dating or married at this time we probably were married I would say yeah we were married at that time I got to kiss the trophy I was the only girl out in there

and that was their last championship you know it was really special I just shot That's wild. I know. How cool is that? Yeah, that's cool. You know what's crazy?

Who wouldn't want to be in there? No, that's cool. About your... Yeah, so there's a picture and me and we're kissing the trophy. You might need to like post that again on Instagram and do a TBD. As I'm listening to you talk and Lauren kind of alluded to this earlier, is like there's a lot of stuff going on right now, but I feel like it's harder to pick out iconic moments nowadays because there's so many moments and there's so much visibility. Yeah, yeah, there is. You were a part of a lot of very memorable, iconic moments that a lot of people can look at.

look back on it's like, oh, I remember that time. Because like that moment or even the Baywatch or even the stuff at the spring break, like there wasn't as many. I mean, maybe there were things going on, but you didn't see as many things. It was wild because I just kept feeling this like a current, you know? It just kept moving. It was very bizarre. Do you get addicted to like, it's like these moments that you've had.

Do you get addicted? Like, it gets better and better. Do you get addicted or no? Like, were you like ready for? I wouldn't say addicted. It just would feel. It feels good when you get a job and you audition, you know. And then I was able to take care of myself, you know?

Amazing. Because I had these jobs and my life changed a lot. But oh my God, we were so wild. It was fun. It sounds like a blast. He was a blast. Yeah. He also seems, and this is just from like seeing him on television, he seems very quiet, but confident.

Yes. It's a tourist thing. I mean, we're both, I'm a double tourist, and he's a tourist. When's your birthday? April 20th, 420. Okay. So I'm on the Ares cusp, but a double tourist. Okay.

I think my moon is in cancer, well. But cancers are great. I like cancers a lot. And my Venus is in Gemini. Oh, I'm a Gemini. Oh, you are? I love Gemini's. You never know what you're going to get.

I know. That's why I love them. I need to be entertained. That sounds familiar I need to be entertained Because the Gemini's like This and then They're also very

I feel like very intelligent people I've dated a lot of Gemini B-Ril was a Gemini Prince was a Gemini Oh I think Prince and I have the same birthday maybe June 7 No never mind

Okay Never mind disregard I don't remember a lot of birthdays But that one I remember So are you with Dennis At this time that Baywatch has already ended to give a timeline. It's ended so it was starting to air. So how do you so I like literally I mean I remember when I'd fly home I'd cry. Why? I don't I didn't want to I was missing him already

I mean it was very real it was very people thought it was like a joke and like a whole press thing because it just took up all the press but it wasn't at what point it was like and then but like it it got more difficult I think after he was playing for the bulls you know because there was a structure there. So what happens? Do you, like, you obviously, you guys break up? Well, no, we were still together. I mean, like, I was kind of pushing away

when he played for the Lakers, but then he would do things. This is what he would do. He put a towel over his head, and there's footage of it. And he would tell everyone, if I'm not there, he's not playing. So they're like, we'll send a helicopter for you.

And I'm like, that's so manipulating. And I ended up going. I got ready in two seconds, and he took it off his head and played. This are the things I went through. And that's when I kind of was like... So people would blame you. I can't. They would blame you if he wasn't.

That's what you feel like. Maybe. Michael, that is like... That's gnarly. He's... The way he plays on that court, he's not stupid. I think that when he's drunk, he's just a party guy, right? But no, he's not.

He's a very intelligent man. Do you think maybe he thought you were a good luck term? I think that maybe they felt like I was. So that's why he wanted to. Because I was trying to always wrangle him in, like, no, you have a game. You know? It was hard. But it was crazy.

Like, I didn't, it's funny. I didn't know who Eddie Vedder was at that time because I loved hip-hop. I was strictly hip-hop. And he loved Pearl Jam. And Eddie was, he's a huge sportsman. So Eddie would be around, but he just said, this is Eddie. And I have all these pictures of us, like, wasting time for the games in like Dave and Busters, let's say. Playing games, we took pictures in this little thing and we're like pretend fighting.

And later on I realized, I was like, oh, my God. And now I love Pearl Jam. I do things off. I don't like to be on trend. I like to do it my own way. So I'm only into hip hop, but then I'll get into stuff later and then I'll change it when people are into it.

I don't know. I am all about breathable, natural, long-lasting cotton. So we're teaming up with cotton, the fabric of our lives. I am really trying to be so intentional and mindful about what I'm wearing when I'm home, relaxing with my kids being present. So when Cotton reached out, I was so excited. I'm sure all you guys know that going natural with cotton is the move. Cotton comes from the earth, unlike synthetic and manmade fibers. I am trying to be

more mindful and present in every area of my life. I want to stay grounded, especially when I'm home. You guys all know Cotton. Who doesn't like cotton? It's breathable, natural, long-lasting cotton. It's amazing. And cotton is natural. Cotton comes from the earth. So there's a lot of synthetic and man-bran made fibers out there in our clothes. I actually just learned, and I had no idea about this, that polyester is made from crude oil. That is the same oil that's used to make fuel for cars, which is wild. I also didn't know that every time we wash synthetic fabrics like polyester clothing, we're contributing to microplastics in our waterways. Cotton has really taught me a lot about synthetic fabrics, and I'm trying to learn more and more. I'm trying to even,

carry like cotton toots to the farmer's market. I don't want to use a lot of plastic bags. I'm just doing anything that I can do and basically my part. So remember to check the label for cotton and take a deep breath and focus on the present. Cotton is the fabric of now. Learn more at the fabric of our lives.com. All right.

And I feel like her skin has been through all the different phases. She's had all these decades from sets to shoots to stages. And she somehow has this like nowhere on her skin. Like it just looks so beautiful. And I feel like she's been very preventative with her skincare. She just has beautiful glowing skin. So she launched a skincare line. It's called J-Lo.

How did you decide to maneuver your career to the next thing? Because I imagine you have to be very thoughtful with where you go from Baywatch. Well, I had, the thing was, is I was spending so much time in Chicago and then going to every game. Like, he really wanted, Dennis really wanted me to be at all the games.

So my agency was not very happy with me because I was getting all these great. scripts and auditions. And I remember, I was like, just send them here and I'll study them. And Dennis would throw him out the window. He would throw my, and I was like, no, you can't do that. So they were kind of like, you kind of need to come back. But I also think like it's not bad that you starve Hollywood a little bit with your presence and you go kind of behind the scenes and then they want you even more. And at the time, did you want to continue to pursue acting? Of course. Oh, my. my god, I was getting these great scripts.

So what was the next audition that you felt like was the next sort of piece to your puzzle? I would have to say, I shot, yeah, we were absolutely not together anymore. I needed to. It sounds intense. It was intense. I literally had to, I moved and I changed my number. Yeah, that sounds like I could imagine that that would be. Because he was just like.

Suffocating. Always would be there. and it just kind of got weird. We got arrested in Miami. I mean, I love my mugshot, though. I'm not going to lie. But at that time, you just didn't know if your career is going to be done.

Why did you love your mugshot? Like, what's, is the light right? Like, what is your angle right? I don't know. What makes a good mugshot? Just in case I need some tips. I don't need the mugshot tips. I don't know.

I just can look into my eyes when I see it. It's like cute. No. I mean, my eyes are intense. So, the trailer's Googling it right now, right now. Oh, you need to see it. Someone painted it. And then it's in a deck of cards.

It's like with Tupac and Biggie. And I'm the queen of hearts. And I was like, that's so gangster. I mean, it is pretty gangster. Oh, my God. I'm not going to lie. When I found them, I found them randomly. And I'm like, oh, my God, I got to keep these somewhere.

I don't need to relive it all the time. You could frame it. Because it was not a fun. It wasn't fun. It wasn't fun at all. Well, I think when you're with someone who's so intense. And they were so cool, though, when I got in there and everything got dropped in two seconds because it was ridiculous. So what was your next audition for your next moment in your career?

I started auditioning for movies, and then I remember I was in Italy shooting this. It's like they do a movie every year. I was in Cortina, and it's like the Christmas movie. They do it every year, and they bring people in. like someone from the United States but everyone's speaking Italian and it was really fun but before that I had audition for a scary movie

but I didn't hear anything and literally my manager called and said they want you and I said okay I gotta leave I'm doing this movie it worked out on time I flew from Italy straight to Canada

and I'm just working with the wayans on the movies, they know what they're doing. I mean, yeah, they're funny and they know funny. And so it was perfect. I mean, there was a lot of surprises when I got there.

The script was different. Well, I went with the flow. I just went with the flow. Were they stopped? Oh, yeah. Oh, that was in there, though. That part was in there. Scary movie was another iconic moment.

You have no idea. Like, I remember we were about to do we did a worldwide tour for it. So I was kind of out there by myself, but, you know, everywhere, you know, everywhere, you know, with this movie

premiering it everywhere in the world. But I remember coming back, and it was, I wanted to go see it just like a regular person, you know, hiding the energy. And it was sold out, so you have to order before. And I went with a couple friends,

and we slipped in and were just like this. and just to hear like the response it would just brought back that genre and it was fun and I think I think when I did that

people kind of went oh she's fun and she doesn't take everything so serious and that's really kind of how I am anyway so I think that too it's self-deprecating

I think it was a good thing to do yeah and girls to this day are they still on Halloween will like create it and I love that. I'm like oh my god that's the sweetest thing ever. I love I love you guys that and that do that it's really cute. I was just with with Katie Perry and there was a couple people in there a guy said I became a lifeguard because of you like we'll hear that from

random people all the time and that's really sweet like all the whole entire cast what are you doing and working on right now what are the things that are important to you at this moment. I have something I can't talk about that's coming out that won't be really fun. And then I'm doing a Disney movie. That's cool. Yeah. Can you say which one or is it not?

I don't think I can say it yet, but it's a completely different kind of movie. Like the type of movie that I really want to do. What did you just do with Katie Perry? You were telling us off air. Oh. Oh my gosh. I clubby Vita. I hosted the night and she performed.

and it was lit. And you have a Baywatch thing coming out, yeah? You talk about that? Well, yes, the Baywatch, of course, the Baywatch documentary. Yeah, that's exciting. I can't wait to see that. Tell us about that. What can we expect?

I mean, I think you're just going to hear things on the other side. You know, everyone, I think everyone has their story, and everyone's going to open up. There's never before seen footage that people, like, would shoot, bring their cameras. That's cool. And we all go pretty deep, I feel. Like I said, there's like really exciting moments. Like if you accomplish something that felt released,

even diving off of speeding boats with rescue cans and not like literally hitting everyone or like, it was 10, like one, two, three, we're in, you know, and we're on a speeding boat and I was like, here we go, we're gonna do this. But when you see those clips, like, we're just throwing the rest you can, like we literally could have knocked another cast member out.

I feel like if you did the show now, there would be a lot of more regulations around it than there was at the time. I feel like there were a lot because one of the creators and directors is a real lifeguard in real life. So we had a safety team. You learned how to do CPR. I could save a life with that. Were all the guys pretending like they needed to have CPR by you? I feel like some of the friends of them would do. would just like go, who do you want to have a scene with?

And then they would just be drowning, and then you'd pull them in, and, you know, mouth to mouth. I will sound this positive note. There was always, and then when you hear that theme song, it was kind of like, I don't know. Such a good theme song. But then Kelly Slater was on it, who was, you know, this iconic surfer. I wish I was on when he was on.

He's so gorgeous. Pretty eyes. he's gorgeous. Yeah. And I just, I love surfers. I love, I love, I love seeing those things and because I got a chance to kind of learn it, but then, ah. You did reality television too before anyone.

It was it before the Osbournes? No, it wasn't before the Osborne. Okay, so it was around then, though. Yeah. Right? Same team. But the Osbournes was the first ones to do it? I think the Osbournes were the first.

I'm dying to interview Ozzy Osbourne about. I feel like he started reality television. And they're, I love that family so much. If all you talk about Ozzy, I was one is reality television, I'm going to jab a dull knife. I see all kinds of things

because they are constantly on social media and it's hilarious because he's just who he is. I think that they did start the like Kardashian type of show. For sure. But you were not in a rock and roll type of way

because everyone was like, How did you decide to do reality television and why did you want to do it? And did you even know that it was a thing? I didn't want to do it at first, but it was the same people I'd worked with at MTV. And they just really wanted to do this thing, like a kind of like just trying it out. And it was called a love story. And they followed me to get pussycat dolls and they followed us around. And that one I felt was really cute.

And then they want a personal meeting. It was all intense. They wanted to do the wedding show called Till Death Do It Part. By the way, the first one is to do that. You're the same. Yeah, our show was called Till Death To His Part. But, I mean, we did things that were really outside of the box. I mean, we shot in a morgue with blue veins.

Who shot it? Oh, my God. He's iconic. David LaChapelle. You know, you inspired me from that show. I remember thinking, oh, I want to do a joint bachelor. I think we created that. Yeah.

Because it. I remember that. Because we were so cool about everything. And I was, I think, the one that was being crazier, he was very, he was very, like, on his best behavior. And I remember he was looking for me and I was getting a lap dance from a girl and making out with a girl on a hot tub. He was like, this is the best part. He was very, like, composed. Did you like shooting reality television?

I liked doing that because I felt like it would be, okay, we're doing the cake tasting today. Yeah. He was also on tour, so I would be doing a lot of stuff there. Then he would come back, and then he would be doing yoga and getting a clonic, which was hilarious, right? Wow, that's like really... But our wedding was so abstract. It was very abstract And everyone was there

It was really sweet that everyone was there And we rocked out I mean you know The band got up and played And everyone was there It was cool You've lived a wild life Oh I know

It's a wild life And I feel like we only I love it though I don't want to be boring No who does Never be boring Before you go Can you share with our audience

Because I feel like they would be mad at me What your beauty, wellness Health, Diet, Fitness Secrets are Well I would say back in the day, I only drank sodas, only. And there is even like a funny footage of Dave and I and where he's saying, you have to stop drinking these coax, you drink half of them. I go to pick it up and it spills. And I look down, I go, but there's two cigarette butts right here. We were like, we had like great chemistry, you know. I feel we did. And we were funny like that. So then it was like,

Okay, I'm going to stop drinking these coax when you stop smoking, which would be so much easier for me. But I, in the long run, I'm a water fanatic. I tricked my brain into loving water. Okay. And I feel like it was one of the best things I've ever done. Is the way you look the way you do from dancing? Because you dance a lot.

Yeah. Although, like, I'm so sore from Evita. I'm not going to love. No, I saw it. You're like, you're moving. Oh, my God. Well, it was just like this, the energy was so lit, just hosting the event. And then I just was up there dancing, like, just what I love to do.

Or, you know, I mean, for a lot of people that have really supported my career. And I could feel it. And Katie was lovely. And she said something really sweet to me. Tell us. You got to tell us what she said. Oh, I don't know. We have to watch it. You have to watch it. I don't want to repeat it, but she was lovely. What she said really, it was like a heartfelt thing. And I just now I'm more obsessed with Katie than ever. It's pretty iconic. You know what? And she's so tall and gorgeous. And I'm five, two and a half. So it's like, wow.

She's just got this presence about her. I don't know a lot of people that we've personally had on this podcast that have had such a long career. I mean, you really have had a long career. You've done a lot. Yeah, you've done a lot. Yeah. Where can everyone find you, pimp yourself out? Tell us where they can go support what you're doing, your Instagram handle, all the things.

Well, obviously that, which is my name. I hate when people say their name. Why? Isn't that weird? Why? When... Like when they say at Carmeloddra? Your own name.

Like, you're speaking in the name. you say your own name? Like third person? I don't know. I feel weird. I'll accidentally do it if I'm trying to figure something out, but, and I don't blame anyone for doing it. It's just something that feels weird to me.

Hey. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, it's third person. It's third person. It's weird. Yeah. It's a little weird. It's weird.

So where can they, where can I mean? It's Carmen Alascher. Listen, I don't judge anyone that does it, but I just, I don't know. Taylor, don't get too excited. He's going to ask you for a picture. Thank you for coming on the show. Thank you.
