Carmen Electra was in Los Angeles yesterday wearing the classy CHANEL ”CH 5139” sunglass.
Carmen’s real name is Tara Leigh Patrick, but many don’t know how her professional name came about. Back in 1994 she moved to Southern California where she met Prince while auditioning for an all-girl rap group. After the audition, Prince persuaded her to change her name to Carmen Electra and instead record a solo album. Soon after, she signed a recording contract with Prince’s company Paisley Park Records, marking the start of a short-lived singing career.
