Carmen Electra Hated Her Teenage Body

Carmen Electra was "disgusted" with her body when she was a teenager.

The 'I Want Candy' star, famed for her sexy curves, struggled to love her
figure when she was younger and even starved herself to lose weight.

The actress said: "As a teenager, I really hated my curves. I felt quite
disgusted with myself and went through periods of not eating. It definitely
wasn't healthy. Body image has always been something I've had to deal with
but now I feel much more confident within myself."

Carmen, 34, shot to fame as a swimsuit-clad lifeguard in hit US TV show
'Baywatch' and has posed naked in Playboy magazine several times.

The brunette star was also a member of 'The Pussycat Dolls', when the group
was a dance troupe and not a pop band.

Carmen Electra Fit This Role Perfect

Carmen Electra didn't have to watch any adult movies to research her porn
star role in new movie 'I Want Candy' - because she has seen enough already.

The sexy star plays a top adult movie actress called Candy Fiveways in the
new British comedy - which tells the story of two wannabe porn directors -
and had no problem relating to the role because she is already a porn
connoisseur.

Speaking at the London premiere of the film last night (03.20.07), Carmen
told BANG Showbiz: "I didn't really need to do any research for the part,
like watch lots of porn films. I've already seen enough!"



The 34-year-old model-and-actress didn't have to audition for the part of
Candy, as director Stephen Surjik had seen Carmen nude in Playboy, and knew
she was "perfect for the part".

Carmen - who shot to fame in hit TV series 'Baywatch' - was a member of The
Pussycat Dolls when the glamorous group was a dance troupe.




The star also has her own range of raunchy fitness DVDs, 'Carmen Electra
Aerobic Striptease', which combines classic striptease with a workout.

Her book, 'How To Be Sexy', is due out in May.

Carmen said: "The book has all sorts of tips, about make-up, clothes, body
language. But my number one tip for any woman would be dress up in sexy
lingerie!"




Carmen Electra is in Love with Joan Jett

Star reports:

The annual Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs has long been the event of the year for lesbians from all over the country, who gather in droves to frolic in the sunny resort city. But Star can reveal that this year’s event will be hotter than ever.

It’s where bad girl rocker Joan Jett and Carmen Electra will likely go public with their sizzling new romance! “Carmen and Joan are planning on enjoying all the fun the weekend has to offer, and they’ll be making a very clear statement to the world by attending together!”

So while officially, Carmen will be in Palm Springs to perform with her all-girl burlesque group, the Bombshell Babies, insiders believe she has much more in store! “Carmen said, ‘I’m going to drop a huge bomb at the Dinah that’s going to surprise a lot of people,”” says another source. “She hasn’t said specifically that she’ll make an announcement about she and Joan being a couple, but it seems like the logical explanation!”

As Star has reported, Joan and Carmen have been looking very cozy in recent months, after meeting at last year’s Dinah Shore Weekend.

They’ve been dating since before Thanksgiving,” says a source. “They don’t co-habitate, but they do spend a lot of time together.”

Carmen Electra Gives Up Party Girl Image

Carmen Electra is no longer a party girl.

The actress, whose divorce to Dave Navarro was finalized last month, finds
staying at home more "exciting" than partying.

Carmen told People magazine: "To me, I get more excited to stay home. But I
should probably get out a little bit more!"

The 34-year-old says she now prefers spending time with close friends,
including 80s rocker Joan Jett.

Carmen said: "I have a great group of friends that I've had for years.

"Joan is an amazing person - I love her. I've actually known her for about a
year. She's a really good friend of mine."

Carmen, who appears in Joan's new music video, accompanied Joan to New York
Fashion Week last month and was seen backstage at the singer's show last
November.

The former 'Baywatch' star is enjoying her single life and remains in touch
with Dave.

Carmen, who split from the rocker last July after three years of marriage,
said: "Everything has been going really good for me. We are positive and we
have stayed connected."
