Former Baywatch babe Carmen Electra makes sparks fly with the wot-wired hit Battlebots and with her new fiance, rocker Dave Navarro. (recent tv guide interview)

By Steve Pond

She pulls to the curb in a new Mercedes sedan, a powerful and formidably expensive mass of sleek metal and chrome. She's only had the car for a couple of hours- just long enough to fight the southern California freeways and arrive a half an hour late for her appointment at a trendy Los Angeles bakery. She's appologetic about her tardiness, but jazzed about her new wheels. "It's fast as hell, and I love it," Carmen Electra says, pulling of her white jacket to reveal a skintight tan T-shirt and snug black jeans. "But I've gotta get new rims, I like to fix my cars up."

This, clearly, is a woman with a taste for shiny, potent machines- wish makes Electra a more than ideal choice to cohost Season 4 of Comedy Central's BattleBots. IN the heavy-metal sports show, remote-controlled robots with names like Mechavore and Techno-Destructo duel in a caged match until only one can still whir and whack. Hosts Tim Green and Bil Dwyer call the play-by-play, Science Guy Bill Nye provides background, and the crew is assisted each season by a new BattleBots girl, plucked from old eppisodes of Baywatch and back issues of Playboy. First there was Donna D'Errico, then Heidi Mark, then Traci Bingham, and now there's the 29-year-old actress, model, dancer, singer and tabloid queen Electra.

"How could her name not come up?" says Debbie Leibling, Comedy Central's senior vice president of original programming and development. "When you're sitting around going, 'Who's beautiful and charming and engaging and you know people are going to tune in to and want to watch?'"

Electra, though, was not among those watching before she got the offer to come aboard. "My manager called and said 'They want you to cohost BattleBots.' And I said, 'What the heck is Battlebots?'" confesses Electra. "So they sent over a tape and I said, 'OK, this is cool.' I wound up taking a real interest in it." Leibling says she went further than any BattleBots babe has before. "You don't just come to Carmen and get the obvious. Well, you get the obvious: her beauty, her charisma. But she also did a lot of reporting. She worked really hard."

Electra's background may have primed her for the Battlebots's supercharged combat and wacky mob of screaming fans- at least her rocky relationship with basketball bad boy Dennis Rodman prepared her for some of that. Still this is not the type of gig young Electra (then Tara Patrick) was envisioning when she came to L.A. more than a decade ago. The youngest of five children was born in White Oak, Ohio (her dad, Harry, was a guitarist and her mom, Patricia, a former singer), she attended a performing arts school in Cincinnati. Her ambition was to appear on Broadway, and by the age of 15 she was starring in local productions of "Bye, Bye Birdie" and "The Music Man."

In 1990 she saved enough money to buy a plane ticket to L.A., where she got a chance to audition for the artist occasionally known as Prince. (The song she auditioned with? "Do Re Mi.") The pint-sized Svengali signed her to his Paisley Park label, moved her to Minneapolis and made himself her producer.

Tara Patrick emerged with a sleek new name and a formidable new bustline but her music career never took off, and she felt stiffled, living in Minnesota. In 1994 she moved back to California, where she struggled to find work until landing a job replacing Jenny McCarthy on MTV's Singled Out in 1997.

"As soon as I started working for MTV, my whole life changed overnight," says Electra, who later joined Baywatch when Pamela Anderson jumped ship. Her role, as lifeguard and wannabe dancer Lani McKensie, got her international exposure (read: Playboy spread). But before long, her career was overshadowed by the circus surrounding her relationship with Rodman. "I fell in love with one the most controversial people in the world," she says, "and it was like going for this crazy ride." The experience, Electra admits, helped her bury the hurt of losing her mother to cancer and her 40-year-old sister Debbie to a heart attack, within a week of eachother, in 1998. "Dennis is the life of the party everywhere he goes, and it was a distraction from facing the pain," she says. "Even if there was drama, it was easier than dealing with the real drama."

She and Rodman split in April 1999 after only six months of marriage. Electra say she found her way after the divorce by tuning in to Oprah ("Oprah said that in order to heal, you have to feel. Watching her show every day helped me a lot") and by making a list of distractions in her life. "Whatever I wrote on that list had to go," she recalls. "Instead of being codependent with a [troubled] person, I decided it was time to take care of myself. And once I did, everything started to fall into place…my career, my personal life, my friendships."

Last spring, a friend set Electra up on a blind date with former Red Hot Chile Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro. "I knew when I walked into the restaurant that he was my man," she says with a smile. "We had the same car, a black-on-black [Mercedes 500SL]. Same leather pants. Same nail design: airbrushed flames. We'd both lost our mothers. As soon as we sat down, we couldn't stop talking and staring into each other's eyes." The two are now engaged. "I want to have a bid wedding," she says, "He just got done with his tour, and we're gonna start planning very soon."

In the meantime, Electra is busy with a TV pilot she's developing with Marvel Comics guru Stan Lee called Diabella (she'll star as the devils daughter) and two upcoming films: the indie drama "Rent Control," in which she plays mentor to Melissa Joan Hart's Midwestern dreamer, and the Ashton Kutcher comedy "The Guest," in which she appears as Molly Shannon's trashy friend.

"I've known since I was a little girl that this is what I wanted to do," she says. "When I was 5 and people would ask, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' I'd say, 'I want to be a star'."

Then Electra puts on her jacket and heads for the door. She's got places to go, and there's a shiny new machine at the curb to take her there
