Life couldn’t be sweeter for Hollywood hottie Carmen Electra. Not only is her latest spoof comedy Meet the Spartans coming to DVD June 3, but the model-turned-actress recently got engaged to KoRn guitarist Rob Patterson.
Hollywood.com met up with Electra, 36, at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas to talk about her new movie, upcoming nuptials and more.
Hollywood.com: You've become a regular in these spoof movies, haven't you?
Carmen Electra: That's right. I was in the very first Scary Movie. I think the guys were writers on the movie and they hired me for Date Movie and Epic Movie, now Meet the Spartans which is coming out on DVD June 3. I'll be heading off to New Orleans to work with them again. I love it. They're great guys and I really get to relax around them and know that they're going to take care of me.
HW: What is it about this genre? Is it your type of humor?
CE: You know, I've always kind of liked toilet humor, to be honest. I grew up watching Airplane and loved spoofs and in your face, kind of out there comedies. I guess after Scary Movie, it sort of caught on. Scary Movie did so well, no one really knew back then how well it would actually do and it just really sparked something. I love it. I love being a part of them. I love making fun of myself in the process and showing people that I have a good sense of humor.
