Carmen Electra files to legally change name after star goes with famous stage moniker for over 30 years
CARMEN Electra has decided to officially change her name in a court of law.
Carmen, 51, was born with the name Tara Leigh Patrick, although she’s been using her stage name for over 30 years.
According to TMZ, she recently filed the documents to move away from her birth name.
Instead, she’ll legally and publically be known as Carmen Electra.
The document was filed on December 29, 2023, right before the new year.
It’s not clear if her request has been granted as of yet, but there’s no reason it would be denied.
Carmen first made an on-stage appearance as a dancer at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, performing in the show It’s Magic.
NAUGHTY
Carmen previously flaunted her flawless figure in red lingerie in a steamy holiday photoshoot alongside her friends.
The actress wore a tiny three-piece ensemble that barely covered her famous curves.
She was seen sitting between Sopranos actress Drea de Matteo and adult film star Abella Danger.
Her long honey-blonde hair was styled in loose waves and hung down around her shoulders.
She had on a bustier-style top that barely contained her sizable chest.
The model paired the top with a tiny matching pair of underwear and a ruffled sheer duster.
There was a frosted Christmas tree behind them and presents all around the women.
Carmen’s caption promoting her OnlyFans read: “Have u seen my latest content w/ the newest powderpuff girlz?
“Doesn’t matter if you’ve been naughty or nice.”
CO-STAR’S NIGHTMARE
Earlier this week, Carmen’s Baywatch co-star star Nicole Eggert revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
In addition to Baywatch, Nicole was also an actress on the hit show Charles in Charge.
In an interview with People, she revealed that she was diagnosed in early December with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer.
Nicole was experiencing a lot of pain in her left breast in October, and she found a lump during a self-exam.
“It really was throbbing and hurting. I immediately went to my general practitioner and she told me I had to immediately go get it looked at,” she said.
“But the problem was, I just couldn’t get an appointment. Everything was booked.
“So I had to wait until the end of November to get it done.”
Finally, she was able to get a mammogram and three biopsies on her breasts.
She admitted it hasn’t been easy, but she always tried to keep a positive outlook, saying: “I always read inspirational quotes and corny stuff, but it gets me through.”
Nicole plans on having the cancer surgically removed if possible.
