Driven: Carmen Electra
VH-1's biography show, Driven, will feature Carmen this month. She talked about this show on Good Day Live last month, and was very excited about it. She said she felt the E! True Hollywood Story was positive, for the most part, but they didn't really interview people she was close to. For Driven, Carmen hand-picked every person interviewed, so viewers will get a much more true sense of her life. The show premiers on Saturday, November 29th at 10:00 PM ET/PT on VH-1.

Sheila E. also appears in the episode!

When you're trying to get a girl into bed you'll tell her whatever she wants to hear.

Whose money? It wasn't his!

I saw this. Driven: Carmen Electra. What I got from it was, I mean how far or how big has she really made it??? The most I hear of her is on tabloids and who she is running around with beside the one or two small hit movie roles she's been in. They made her life seem like a happy Cinderella story when she finally found her 'prince' after all her ups and downs, and as they put it, after being shunned out of Prince's 'kingdom'. They made it seem like the most that she ever wanted after being with Prince was wanting to be treated like a Princess, treatment she did not receive from Dennis Rodham. I missed the first few minutes about her parents, though I got to the part about her family loss. But they mentioned Prince so many times, they made sure he was there, I didn't know how involved he was in her career and love life, up until the moment she went to L.A (???) and he met up with Mayte and it was over as if that's really accurate, I mean we all know (or think) he did not go from Carmen E. to Mayte, or maybe that's how it seemed her in her world or to the people that supposedely knew her. My question was...she's 'made it' driven up to what extent? She probably needs to get a main role in a film, and then I'll say 'driven to success'...but other than that, they mainly just focused on her unsuccessful relationships because as Prince's protege, afterwards she was climbing rocks when her career hit rock bottom, which I can say is a success where many others would have gave it up, as they put it as well, but that's a success for her, but in the industry up to this point??? Not sure...although she's made it to where some would just love to be, and what they would consider success, but not compared to the other 'driven' stories and celebrities that are more 'up there' so to speak. All in all, I wish her the best with Dave Navarro (?) and it's funny his looks reminds me of Prince, but seems like the love is sincere, and I hope it is...
