Will another Playboy pictorial boost Carmen Electra’s career?

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Carmen Electra, who is more popularly known as the ex of basketball star Dennis Rodman, got a career boost when she posed for Playboy Magazine in 1996. Tara Leigh Patrick, also known as Carmen Electra, was a plain Ohio girl before she posed for Playboy. After the issue came out on the stands she became an international star. Will history repeat itself when the model-singer poses again for Playboy for its 55th anniversary issue on January?

Electra may have made a name for herself and her career thanks to her Baywatch stint but her name is still being to Rodman. This can change though once her Playboy nude photos are out. Aside from her 1996 debut in Playboy she has posed for the magazine in the succeeding year and then again in 2000 and 2003.

Fans of the 36-year old model-actress are already awaiting her eight-page pictorial in the male magazine and reports that she will appear in the magazine pages completely nude have only made everyone more curious. The magazine will be available for those awaiting Carmen Electra’s nude photos on December 12.

A lot of careers have bloomed thanks to Playboy. Pamela Anderson, her Baywatch co-star Pamela Anderson is one of those celebrities who became more popular after their Playboy stint.

Sir Elton John says yes to Prop 8

Friday, November 14th, 2008

While the rest of the gay and lesbian community are castigating State officials for the passage of Proposition 8 which disallows gay and lesbian marriages in the State of California, here comes Sir Elton John supporting the said constitutional amendment. So what’s his take on this? Gay couples, he said, should stick to civil unions instead of getting married. Elton’s pronouncements were made during Monday night’s Elton John AIDS Foundation benefit show.

Elton said heterosexual citizens can get married while homosexuals can have civil partnerships. True to his word, he is indeed committed to his partner David Furnish through a civil union ceremony in Windsor, England wayback 2005. He urged the gay and lesbian community to opt for civil partnership because just the word “marriage” puts people off.

His statement started the whole world considering that he is a known singer-composer as well as a staunch gay rights and AIDS activist. Elton however confirmed he does not like marriage and so favors Proposition 8 which was approved by 52% of the voters.

A lot of celebrities have shown their disgust over the approval of Proposition 8 among them Melissa Etheridge and Ellen de Generes (both married to their partners) and even George Clooney! Other personalities who have made donations to support their cause include David Geffen, Steven Spielberg and Brad Pitt. President-elect Barack Obama as well as Arnold Schwarzenegger also indicated their support for the cause.
