Electra Describes Self as 'Fiery'

NEW YORK (AP) - Carmen Electra describes herself as ``fiery, compassionate and playful.''

But the former ``Baywatch'' star and Playboy model says people might be surprised to learn ``how down-to-earth I am.''

``At one point, it was all about going out - everything had to be over the top,'' the 29-year-old actress told Mademoiselle magazine in its July issue. ``That was an empty place to be.

``Now it's all about balance. I like to stay at home on Friday nights and listen to `The Art of Happiness' by the Dalai Lama.''

Electra appeared in 2000's ``Scary Movie.'' Her upcoming films include ``The Guest'' with Tara Reid
