The Following Podcast is a Dear Media Production Baywatch is over and yeah like there was a moment where I was single and I was so crazy. I was with a bunch of my friends. I'm leaving the club and Dennis Rodman and his crew is coming in. And they took my coat off like literally like stay and like no no no we're gonna go through my coat behind the bar. And that's what he wants to drink and I'm just like okay I guess we're here. Come in, come Heather. Come join us.
For the one the only the iconic Carmen Electra you may know her. I'm sure you know her. She is an American glamour model and actress, a TV personality, a singer, a dancer and of course an iconic sex symbol. We talk about Prince, Gaining Fame, MTV Baywatch Playboy, Dave Navarro, we even talk about Dennis Rodman. She really goes back and reflects on her evolution throughout Hollywood which I think is really cool and sort of tells a story in this episode.
If you're someone who has followed Carmen Electra for a long time I think you'll love this episode because it's like through her lens Carmen Electra welcome to the Him and her show. This is the skinny confidential him and her. How many people in this office do you think have or had a picture of Carmen Electra on their wall. Taylor Taylor behind us already. Is it count if you had more than one. I love that. I love it. I think he still does. I mean really big fan love that so much.
He's only wanted to take pictures with three people that have come on the podcast and you're going to be number three. He already told us. And that's out of like 750 of these. He doesn't care about anyone but certain people. Okay Carmen Electra you are here on the podcast we want to get the lay of the land with us. We want to get your story you were born in Ohio. Okay talk to us about what your childhood was like I grew up with really supportive parents and they really wanted me to.
Well my mom said when I was born I came out dancing. And I was always moving so dance was kind of like the obvious place for me. And so she put me in classes they would work extra jobs my dad. My dad is a real guitar player. He discovered booty Collins. He's played with the Ohio players like he was funky. He was into the blues so they just worked extra jobs so I could study. And I when I was nine years old I auditioned for the school for creative and performing arts.
And that probably was the best thing ever because you're kind of learning. You know whatever you're I mean it's almost like college so you can start from the fourth grade to the 12th grade and you're with like all these diverse people. And it was always taught like we you know we if there was always a chance for everyone so if we put on the sound of music they would be like everyone was considered no matter what your race or color is.
And that was beautiful to me and that was kind of where I learned I think to be open and and just I don't know I had fun there when you're nine years old and you're already performing. Is that crazy to look back on I mean nine years old is young. Well I started dancing when I was five by the age of seven I had over a hundred trophies because I was competing. And then I was also auditioning for the gym now six team. But it was kind of like are you going to choose ballet I kept spreading my ankle.
You know because it's get serious when you audition for the team and I made it but I had to make a choice and just because I had been studying classical ballet for so long at that point. I think it was easier because our school I mean I measured in dance. My minor was vocal music and drama. So you are very talented in a lot of different areas it's was it's not just dance well I will definitely say though I've always been really shy I got over my shyness.
So I wouldn't pay you a shot. I know you can't shut me up now when I came to Los Angeles I just wanted to be a dancer. Maybe for Jenna Jackson or artists. And that's what I came to do but for some reason I kept kept putting in the middle. What do you mean by the middle what what does that mean? I went to someone brought me into capital records and they I got signed to a demo deal. And it was me you know what I mean.
It was so scary. And then I audition for a group that prints playing together. And when I auditioned I didn't get a response. So I just thought great though I've got this capital deal. And they'll keep me in LA and I'm going to meet a lot of producers and I mean it's it is scary though when you just go in like sing this and because I've been studying more like.
I went with my childhood for musicals you know and it's a whole different town so you thought you wanted to be like a background dancer for Janet Jackson and someone yeah I'll just like that I wanted to or I didn't have to be in the front I was cool being a part of a group.
Would you the pussycat dolls for a while. We're not there. We're not there. You can't jump ahead. I'm just I'm just going to touch your eyes and all this together. Yeah. So so when you meet prints. What was that like like what was he like if you were to describe us you know is 18 years old and we went to his house.
And he was kind of standing in a doorway looking like really sexy and I was I was only 18 I felt nervous you know what's happening here and and so I just audition like it was funny he went to the piano and literally started playing. So Ray me and I was in the sound of music twice at a mood at a dinner theater I played Martha and Brigida and so I kind of knew it better than he did.
Because I was performing it and so he thought that was cute and funny and oh then we had to play pool which I suck at playing pool. I was like why he was asking me about my dance world and how much he really appreciated the dedication that goes into ballet. You know your toes are bleeding in your poiches and you can't stop don't they break the feed in ballet to sometimes so that you can is that true or is that not true.
I think you can break a lot of things are really messed some of your body up but I mean I know a lot of dances that went on to Jofrey and got an injury and they were just done. Which is so wild that you work your whole life to get there and then you get an injury and it's over. I know I felt horrible for my friends and then I thought you should have come out to LA because it was always New York or LA. So if you're going to New York it will be Broadway.
You know and LA's not like a friend dancing on Broadway and she had a knee injury and that was it and so. I felt kind of lucky in a way that I went to LA. So what is a different scene in LA I feel like totally totally different scene what happens after you and Prince are singing dohrey me like what what is the relationship. I mean does he fall in love with you? I don't know he was just kind of being him and then he wanted to see me dance so.
I went full out you know dancing in every kind of way and I felt like he was like okay cool you know because I came in with like a certain style of dance like we just dance hard you know. And he liked that a lot but then I heard nothing nothing so the girl that it was her band she kept saying I thought you were amazing and I want you in my group but he's not giving an answer.
So that was okay fine that's cool I'm cool okay I'm going to move on I was able to stay in LA because of capital and recording demos so I was in a hotel the haunted Roosevelt hotel that's where you're saying yeah that's what they put me up it was so scary. I think it was the club that was in the Roosevelt back in the day there was a good club pop in this is so maybe it was Teddies yeah there was one of the clowns or something to remember.
So you're living at the Roosevelt hotel and you're working for capital records and then what at what point does Prince call. The friend that I was out that I was able to spend more time to I was like I have two weeks to figure something out and it was kind of magical I kid you not just boom going in we're signing you to Demo deal and then next you know I'm at Princess House and I'm auditioning and that was weird but I was fine with it okay.
He doesn't want me I'm going to continue doing this and he was able to get in touch with me I remember I I think at that point I may have been staying at the Holly wait what's that hotel it's like a very it's a cheap hotel so like for a minute I was at this hotel what do you call the holiday and I.
I get it out the holiday and and so you know I was like eating candy bars they don't you know this they don't have food but I would go wondering around I just I've always been like I'm a wonder I call it a pat scene around I go wondering yeah yeah I do I mean I I done it in Italy I just go I like to just go sometimes oh my god Michael just well I'm a good
rumor I like a room I love it I don't mind a room but it's not a small room he likes he likes a planned out room oh I just would leave and whoever was with me didn't even know I was gone I should just do that to you bye bye I said that I just like looking at the culture looking at the streets the fashion and there was so many different things
that I I don't know I have a habit of doing that I putting you got to put it around but I think when you kind of just snap back or something you're not really drawing a lot of attention so you Michael you know I mean I don't mind the roaming around it's just the pace of the roaming is a little bit slow the room that's why I go by myself I like shopping by myself because literally I turned to a zombie you know my eyes are spinning and I'm just like
looking at stuff and you know I think sometimes too when you're really creative no offense like shopping alone is really good unless you're with someone that shops like you so you'll go to completely different departments but then you'll kind of check in and then go away then you're in trying close you know I mean how much fun I mean shopping is really fun isn't it it's the best but I I want to shop on the
those days I would just be looking because I couldn't afford a lot of things so you were sort of daydreaming about it oh yeah I mean I was going into every store and just looking and paying attention so does print the way that you back he gets a hold of me at the at the
holiday and he wanted me to come over and watch like an old movie and I said no I'm here to work okay you thought it was like he was a kind of he was he wasn't asking to come over to eat popcorn Michael I don't know what he was actually meaning but it wasn't to work on music so I said no yeah and then later later on he got a hold of me and he knew I was recording and he said I want to hear your demos so I said okay yeah he
was so funny so we could use these as coasters or frisbee's because you know he's got that great sarcasm he's hilarious right he didn't like him no no and he goes I want to sign you okay well I said but I could I already signed a contract so I told him that I don't want to have any
problems I signed something with them because don't worry I'll get you out of it did he any dead well he did he's prince he's prince and so when you sign with prince what happens in your life is that a moment that it sort of took off with your career it was this moment where he's like I was kind of nervous about it and he said your flight is going to be leaving at this time there'll be a car to pick you up and I was so kind of going I don't
know if I can do this because he said are you a blonde or a brunette just trying to round me up and so I went I got up I don't the flight was so early I flew by myself I picked up my had the smallest bag and he would say you have a lot of clothes I'm like of course I do but I really didn't I just had a couple like pieces you know when you go with him and you fly where you guys fly where do you go where you travel I flew to Minnesota why Minnesota because that's where he lives and records and
pays the park that's his creative place do you think that he picked that place because it was out of L.A. in New York and he didn't have distraction I know he loved L.A. and I know he loved New York but I'm not sure I can't answer for him but I felt like he kind of maybe just like going home you know yeah and people didn't really bother him so much like a sanctuary yeah so he had a house and then it was a short quick couple seconds to get to
Paisley Park but I think in the end maybe he was living at Paisley Park I had heard that he burnt the house down for some reason but I really wasn't involved in his life at that point so I don't know when you moved back to Paisley Park like he moved in that area I think they just made it like he's got a bedroom in there and he already kind of had that in
office in the bed and literally it was magical like like Willie Wonka you know what I mean oh you got the golden ticket and then go in and it was just so beautiful like his house was like perfect Paisley Park I mean his house was beautiful too okay so both were like I think some people like just automatically now say he lived at Paisley Park got it he kind of
did because he would record all the time but at that point he had a house too so when you fly out to see him what do you guys do is he immediately teaching like teaching you how to record or did he let you have fluidity with your creativity well I came in there was a purple limousine that picked me up the airport and his brother Joanne was driving and I really loved his
brother a lot he passed away but Joanne and I had this closeness that was really special just he called me on this phone I'm back in this limo I haven't I'm think I've ever been in a limo so it was just like so much and he calls me back there and just said I want you to buy something white and a white headband and so we found that like they just took me to someplace that I didn't I didn't know what was that it was like it was a big adventure to just go like that
is really kind and you see asking you to buy a white dress and a white headband to like marry you no not at that point I think I think he just he has these visions I don't know that's what he wanted and I was totally fine with going shopping
let's go so what happens when you actually get there are you immediately thrown into recording no I was living at his house for a moment and did he fall in love with you yeah I don't want to like speak for him but you know eventually it just took me a while you know I was really I'm but he was madly in love with you it seemed like it I could say it seemed like it for sure so what point of your career when you look back do you feel like it really started to take off
because this is a huge moment to be from Ohio and now princess why I'm living in Minnesota wild it's wild yeah so is this a moment that you look back on that you think really started everything that's happened for you I definitely it would definitely was like the rooted part even like what coming from a dance world I mean I learned a lot from him I would always watch the way he worked he was an amazing dancer right
yeah he could do the moves he was good at the moves yeah yeah no he was high energy of the time always recording and then all of a sudden he was like we were working on songs together and you know and that was cool I mean I was very nervous but we recorded a song like that never I don't think it ever came out it's one of my favorite songs that we recorded it was called Carmen on top
and it was so funky the music was so funky you got to re-release it you have to re-release it I can't do that I mean I don't I don't own it I mean I have it on a cassette but addition to what is your next sort of like moment in your career that happened that you look back on that was something that sort of shaped everything you've been through was it Baywatch next no it was MTV
yeah what I auditioned for single doubt Jenny McCarthy was doing it and then she had gotten her own comedy sketch show on MTV so they were looking for you know someone to fill in for her and I'm like you know one of my friends I'm a goofball I'm fun I like I don't know I'm a dork and all those things
what I was really shy and I had to just take it and go well if I'm going to go here for this audition I need to be like on fire and I got the part and it was just like I couldn't believe it and it was a blast that was that was more like I would say this my school was
had a college vibe Prince had a college vibe I didn't go to college but MTV was like when you party and it's wild it's kind of threw you into it oh it was fun it was fun all those spring breaks and interviewing I forgot about all those spring break shows on the
TV that's like that's like because you put yourself out there with MTV and threw yourself into the deep end that it took away your shyness because I would not do a shot now it completely dead something changed and I'm happy for that so I learned a lot there yeah and then I learned
things like because you'd be nervous sometimes you're running you're going live you know I'd be on they'd have me on red carpets interviewing I remember it was the Howard Stern premiere they flew me out there the movie you mean yes in New York private parts in New York and you know I'm interviewing people and you know it was a huge red carpet and the big if such a big deal I mean I I got to
interview so many people it was really cool you're doing podcasting before podcasting was out I interviewed Eminem in the early days and I mean there was just I remember used to go on to back in the day I remember the time is that nerve rock I know I thought would make me know I love Stern no I love him I never love Howard I was going on there super early and these wild little outfits and then you always had me come back and we had fun we
always had fun no I love how I have a good personality it's not just about the way you look to go on Stern you got to have a good personality it's not going to invite you back over and he's gonna you know play with you and if you don't play back you will never get out you'll be stuck in there because like probably comes out and then no no no and then what I loved it I don't you know it was fun for me did he ever give you tips on how to interview when you were on the red carpet no no
tips no no I think Howard should have you back on and you guys should share a bunch of tips or interview he did a book recently all about I read the book but the book is not it's not tips on interviewing its interviews in fact I think you are in there he transcribed so tell us about the behind the scenes at MTV this is pre-bay watch tell us about what it's like is it caddy is it fun and you mentioned that it's kind of like high school but what's the behind the scenes like
college college yeah because every Friday when we finish shooting we go to karaoke and drink you know what I mean and everyone was like in that mode like people would dress up as strange things it was just to bring
the high energy levels up and you know because it was the spring break shows too right with that was yeah I walked out when lit was playing I was only going to walk out and then all of a sudden I just started dancing and it became like this iconic moment for the time it was like I got a
beat it was in cancun it was in cancun well it's great we wouldn't be you know if okay we're going to Jamaica and sometimes I wouldn't even know like yeah even um destiny's child when they were young I got interviewed all the girls that's wild I know there's so many things but the rule
became if you mess up it's punk rock and I was like oh my God that that should be the rule of everything because I never wanted mess up you know but then I didn't care anymore great it's punk rock let's go so it was cool to sort of not be perfect yeah you know what's crazy mess ups were great
like MTV during your time is that they're like right now there's like you're sort of like competing with the world because of social media so there's like all different kinds of influencers and entrepreneurs and podcasters but when you were doing MTV in my head there was like three top girls and it was like to me it was like you Johnny McCartney a Johnny McCartney McCartney and Pamela Anderson like those were the
three there wasn't like a ton of you guys that I remember is that is how it felt like behind the scenes it did yeah like there's the those the three that I'm I'm I'm saying that right yeah I think yeah I would say at that time I mean that's pretty cool because now it's like is there so it's like so much and then when I was I think Baywatch saw me on MTV and had me come into audition when Pamela was leaving but there was a lot of other girls that came along as well so I never wanted to feel
like because she to me is just like the queen of Baywatch so I never wanted to feel like oh my God like I'm stepping into her shoes now but there was a lot of other girls born at the same time and I love that I was like yes the more girls the merrier the better when you were asked to audition
for Baywatch what does that look like is it just is it boring like are you just in a like a box test reading or is it a whole production they have this they have this office where everything could happen there so I went up and I to do my reading you know for the audition David
Hasselhoff was there yeah and I got through that part fine and then they said here's a red suit go put that red suit on I was like really okay I left my high heels on to come on and say you got to take those off I'm like God did I shave my legs I'm like whoa this
is wild but I did it I did a little twirl and then they asked me if I could swim and I said of course I said okay we're gonna go down there was a pool in the office where we would do a lot of underwater scenes because you're not going to be able to get that notion so there's a lot
like when you see everyone swimming on top and then they go under it was in the pool there so yeah I just remember standing on the edge of the pool and saying whatever kind of prayer I said I have no idea in my mind and then I just thought I'm gonna everyone always
to tuck your chin I did that I think my die was probably amazing from the dancing and there wasn't a long it's so different when you swim in a pool as opposed to the ocean it's so different so I made I got the part I was like wow this is great so it just
kind of went to this to this and then there's also a great connection with playboy but at the time I was going on to the show I had done playboy already I'm with the celebrity pictorial but then I had this team around me I remember it singled out all these men
shut up in suits and they were like you need an agent and we had this grand meeting and it was so cool that things were happening and I said you need a publicist and you need a manager so we sat and we interviewed people and I think at that time
my publicist was trying to tone down the sexiness because we were always in the suit although that's to even not even who I am I loved it I loved it but they were kind of like no I did the one of the first covers of Maxim when it came out I remember that and I was like in these leather pants
everything was like pretty covered you know so when playboy approaches you are you like fuck yeah or did you have to like go through oh no I was really excited I mean I just remember the first time I went in I had to you have to shoot a lot
and they offered me to be a playmate or to do a celebrity pictorial and I looked at the contracts even though I probably didn't do that no I was someone look at them but I was kind of on my own on that you know in the beginning and so I looked at what the playmates would do and then and the money
and then I looked at this contract and I was like no I'm doing that this one I'm gonna do the celebrity pictorial so they just don't pay the playmates as well as the celebrities I think that you will they paid well but not as much so it didn't make sense to me
what are the responsibilities of a playmate compared to just if you I really don't know all that but I mean I've heard you know the some of the girls who have to live there I didn't want I didn't want to crystal on the show I didn't want to live there I mean I like to go to parties and that was fun
I think that you've always done a really good job of separating your like that was really sort of strategic I kind of felt like what I want to do and then as things were happening the pictorial would be something that felt more of the direction I wanted to go in
when they tell you although I love all the playmates like I had nothing against it you know and a lot of the girls were like playmate of the month of the year or whatever not the month of the year and there was definitely a connection with Baywatch and Playboy

saver the start when you do playboy at this time do they tell you what you have to do to come in or they like you have to be this tan you have to shave this way you have to have no they would do that all there so they tell you they say
it's up to you what you want to do they had great body makeup that should come out again because they're not making anymore you should make it and I should start a business I know I know I know the formula because I still have the bottles you know yeah honey and that was like a
secret that was a good like and they always lit everything well even though we were outside there's nothing worse than bad white it took a lot of time for them to light so I think because all these things they would do looked very magical and you're by the water so you know what I'm
saying is that it's very magical and you're by the water so people would from all over the world want to come in I remember coming out of my trailer and you know the the one piece got smaller and smaller of the time which was totally fine with me but everyone's taking pictures and
everyone will watch everything and like okay you know a lot of wild when you started doing Baywatch yeah was that I'm just going to guess one of the hardest gigs you'd ever done because you have to get in and out of the water and there's acting it was definitely and I I have high
respect for the people that stayed for all that time I mean for me the things I I would you know we were expected to do most of our work because people had been complaining at that point they believe anyone was doing their shunts and are weird point in Baywatch where
like the body and the person didn't look anywhere near like the people you know yeah so they were like no you're going to do everything we're doing everything those old 90s and like 2000s there are splices moments though where I felt like I could celebrate because they
would say or the script would say your tandem surfing I don't know how you know what I mean okay we're tandem surfing okay so that means you know and we kind of learned it in the episode but going on the what and these are professionals that would like literally like push
you in the air like your acrobatics like all the ballet and all the acrobatics and things came into handy but it was really scary but making it through and like literally I just felt like I did this it was so I'm looking back like I could fall off we could anyone
could fall off from a high level and I just remember I waited at the camera boom that was it so you had it was one moment oh yeah I even had the flu I got two tickets on the way out because we had a shoot where there were waves a little bit so it was way out you did you
and I was like speeding on the way don't ever speed on PCH you're gonna get a ticket you know so what I got a ticket on the way and on the way home wait I had the flu and I but I did everything I was supposed to do were you not this is maybe a stupid question but were
you not scared of sharks being so way out I would be petrified they would discuss them you know and sometimes that we you know there were I don't know we were just supposed to do what we had to do yeah I wasn't not gonna not try things but yeah we can't tell you at the
point there was a guy that was he was a little flirtatious but the thing was is I I was engaged to be real from Cyprus held that time and I don't think people really know that I know that yeah I know it's funny it's just something that never came up and I
his family is my family and if it wasn't for him and his whole family I don't know if I would have been able to get a car to go to auditions you know and so I just like their family is my family to this day that means you were just you were not interested
in anybody else at the time you're just no I wasn't but you know these hot bodies are flirting but you know I'm if I'm with somebody I'm with them you know I bet a lot of people have a lot of questions about the behind the scenes on the Baywatch that I felt
I imagine it was like Matt Melrose plays well what I okay I was very green going into acting and I didn't really realize and my my partner the my love interest was David Chokichi but I didn't know if it says kiss like you don't have to use your tongue I didn't know that's kind of an overall role of acting unless it's some type of specific movie where it would require that it didn't we didn't need to require that on Baywatch you know but I didn't know so I just hung him down and I and
no but everyone loved it terrible for him I mean I mean I kind of cringe when I see it because I'm just you know I would not know that either I would know that if I was called to make it look real right yeah like acting yeah yeah but I I figured out
later when I started working on other movies that all you don't have to tell them like great whatever maybe just made it the scene even better I'll take it as that but I was a little embarrassed that I just went ask you this was he would stop no no no I was like let's shoot another scene I was
just like you know later on like oh my gosh I'm being embarrassed it was like hot I think it's cool okay good yeah what do you like okay I'm accept it someone calls to kiss someone no one's kissing without tongue if you're like with someone are
they oh no but there's certain scripts that you it doesn't require that at all I know I heard that sometimes I want to just look at it like this one didn't require that like you just go like like a brush oh you don't have to like just lips moving and blah blah blah but I like went tongue deep I've
heard some actors actors and actresses actually fuck so I mean yeah I heard I actually I've heard some of those rumors too actually but I don't know if it's true or not they actually in the real scene to make it real I have a feeling we all we were thinking of the same movie but I'm not gonna because I don't really know but it will tell you off here I don't look like it yeah there's there's a couple movie of it this I was a big movie huge big movie big movie and like so Ben
athlete really showed his real dick and gone girl really that's his real dick go look at it it is I'm gonna wait to tune wow now we're gonna go back and look at my heart great I'm never want to see his it's pretty big it's down as me good for him it's big you also see Mark Wahlberg will dick and
do not do speak a lot in the two-spooky nights I don't think that's real you don't think so no I think it's a prosthetics prosthetics Taylor showed his dick on this show so you never know what's gonna happen right okay I don't get not showing your dick on the show so Taylor she's just joking don't worry Carmen she'll not afraid of it she's maybe seen one whatever okay so at one point do you break up with the Cypress Hill what did you call him his name's be real be real I don't insane in the
grandbrain I know who that is when you she sings that I don't I listen to boss and over the better yeah I was learning the rules of the street he taught me the rules of the street you know so because he was a blood you know no I didn't know that it was a blood yeah one so I I was
with gangsters all the time wait he's a real blood you do not know so yeah but like I you know I think they just we're gonna listen to it today maybe coming out of that because you know the music because he got he did he did well with his shit legit he was a blood you weren't scared Taylor hold on
I was I know are you eating something back there what is that smell be I smell pop yeah I smell popcorn I smell pop popcorn he opened like come out chicken back no he opened out but it was bad ask because he really taught me the laws of the streets what do you what's the laws of the street what do
you mean there's a lot of them I mean it's just kind of what to look out for I mean I'm on this beef episode this is wild check this out a lot of people don't know this either there was a series called beef and it was like West Coast East Coast Cyprus and cube and it's you could find it and I I
had watched them before but the thing was is that like Cyprus took in the song or ice cube to listen to and it was like fill your set in the air like though you said you know I mean and so he didn't end up putting it in the movie what would they felt like was he copied the song and it was like what
you're holding the air something like that so there was a huge beef I'm with me at the time he gets it not not even a text at that point he had like a sky-gram and it said watch out be watch out for your white bitch you guys broke up were you single at this point they watch us over and yeah like
there was a moment where I was single and I this is so crazy I was with a bunch of my friends we walk into a club well we leaving the club sorry I'm leaving the club and Dennis Rodman and his crew is coming in and they took my coat off like literally like say like no no no we're gonna go through
my coat behind the bar and that's what you want to drink and I'm just like okay I guess we're here I'm gonna get my typical sex on the beach that I stole that's my that's your drink order I don't even know people know how to make it anymore but I've always that was always my little my little
cocktail drink what's a sex on the beach by Carmen Electra tell us how to make oh my god I would have to look it up because I'd ever have really made it I just asked the park there's I feel like it's got like peach knobs and it's got a bunch of things in it but it tastes sweet okay the taste
sweet and you can get really tipsy quickly so Dennis Rodman sees you at the bar in your hot out the number of weeks I was walking out with my friends we were done we're like leaving the club and they were coming in and you always had like this huge entourage of people and so they like stopped us
and then I don't know my coat like give me your coat and it was still behind the bar and I'm just I was like I want to go I don't want to be here but we exchanged numbers and he was always trying to call me and never answered him back oh they always fall for that and then this is the way to get a guy I don't know what happened I like I was invited he invited me to go to a bull's game and I just went I just went by myself I didn't follow them up it felt quick if yeah it was quick it was
very quick I don't even know how to explain it was a deal along with you guys together before you got married I don't even know I don't think it was even that long you know at this point but you know made some headlines I remember that oh it's crazy I couldn't look at like I was on the news every day about that people all my friends were there we it was because it was in Vegas I didn't want to do it I didn't want to get married why seems kind of fun no no it's not fun why tell me were you if you
could see my regular clothes that we were out that night in and then I had a calendar shoot and I need to leave that next morning and he kept waking me up he was having people come to the bed wake me up out of my sleep and there and all my friends happen to be there it was just one of those times where all of his cool friends were there and all my girlfriends were there and he was sending them up to me and I just remember finally he picked me up and I'm standing on the bed so now we're even
hiding because I'm four two and a half and he was crying please mom I'm marrying me and I was I was deep I will always have like this love for him I don't even know there was a connection that would happen right away when I first went there he's like you're never gonna leave so when you get and even like I was say like Michael Jordan like I got to do things that no girls got to do because I don't know why I mean I when they won the last championship I knew it was going to be my fault if he
didn't win if they you know if if he didn't the fraud and didn't play good it goes back on you and so wait what oh it oh don't you know that no I don't know no they didn't athlete and if they don't play well and they don't play well if the girlfriend's
fault or the wife's fault like sports people they love their athletes okay so he wins what happens if he wins oh it was a huge celebration I was what happens if they did it too and it was on the last dance you know it was on the last dance what is the last dance oh my god it was it's the documentary Michael Jordan asked me to do it you guys oh my god it's a necessary watch okay it's a necessary watch okay watching how Michael Jordan grew how the team came in and it was Rodman Pippin and Jordan
and I mean they had already won like a million rings I would say so when you so when I got to kiss the show I got to go back like this is just Michael Jordan being nice because you know he runs it you know Michael Jordan runs the show so security grabbed me they brought me in champagne's flowing
everyone says and then he went to the he went to a room and it was only the basketball players and I was with Dennis pulled me in you guys dating are married at this time we probably were married I would say yeah we were married at that time I got to
kiss the trophy I was the only girl out in there and that was their last championship you know it was really special I just shocked that's why I know how cool is that that's cool you know what I don't want to be in there yeah that's cool about yeah so
there's a picture and me and we're kissing the trophy and you might need to like post that again on Instagram as a TV as I'm listening to you talking Laura kind of alluded to this earlier is like there's a there's a lot of stuff going on right now but I
feel like it's harder to pick out iconic moments nowadays because there's so many moments and there's so much yeah yeah that's part of a lot of very memorable iconic moments that a lot of people can look back on it's like oh I remember that time because like that moment or even the Baywatch or even
the stuff of the spring break like there wasn't as many I mean maybe there were things going on but you didn't see as many things well because I just kept feeling this like a current you know it just kept moving it was very bizarre you get addicted to like
it's like these moments that you've had do you get a dick like it's like it's like it's better and better do you get addicted or no like were you like ready to say addicted it just would feel it feels good when you get a job and you audition you
know and then I was able to take care of myself find you know amazing because I had these jobs and my life changed a lot but it we held my God we were so wild it was fun it sounds like a plot it was a blast yeah he's he also seems and this is just from like seeing him on television he seems very
quiet but confident yes and but he's a tourist thing I mean we're both I'm a double tourists and he's a tourist Wednesday April 20th 420 okay so I'm on the airy's cusp but a double tourists okay I think my moon is in the sky but I can't see the great I like can't see the lot so
my Venus is in Gemini oh I'm a Gemini oh you are I love Gemini you never know what you're gonna get I know that's why I love him I need to be entertained I need to be entertained because the Gemini's like fast and then they're also very I feel like very intelligent people I've dated a lot
of Gemini's be rules of Gemini Prince was a Gemini oh I think I have the same birthday maybe June 7th no never mind okay I never mind I don't remember a lot of birthdays but that one I remember so so are you with Dennis at this time that Baywatch has already ended to give it's
ended so it was starting to air so how do you so I like literally I mean I remember when I'd fly home I'd cry why I didn't want to I was missing him already I mean it was very real it was very people thought it was like a joke and like a whole press thing because it just took a ball but it wasn't
what point and then but like it got more difficult I think after he was playing for the bulls you know because it was a structure there what happens to you like you obviously you guys break up well no we were still together I mean like I
was kind of pushing away when he played for the Lakers but then he would do things this is what he would do he put a towel over his head and there's footage of it and he would tell everyone if I'm not there he's not playing so every like we'll send a helicopter for you and I'm like that's so
manipulating and I ended up going I got ready in two seconds and he took it off his head and played this is the things I went through and that's when I kind of was like you blame you I can't they would like blame you if he wasn't that's what you feel like maybe Michael that is like
that's not he's the way he plays on that court he's not stupid I think that when he's drunk he's just a party guy right but no he's not he's a very intelligent man do you think maybe I mean even a good luck term I think that maybe felt like I was that's why he was trying to always wrangle
him in like no you have a game you know it was hard but it was like I didn't it's funny I didn't know Eddie better was at that time because I loved hip hop I was strictly hip hop and he loved projam and Eddie was he's a huge sportsman so Eddie would be around but he
just said this is Eddie and I have all these pictures of us like wasting time for the games in like Dave and Buster's let's say playing games with we took pictures in this little thing and we're like pretend fighting and later on I realized I'm like oh my god and I love now I love projam
I do things off I don't like to be on trend I like to do it my own way so I'm only in the hip hop but then I'll get into stuff later and then I'll change it when people are into it I don't know I am all about breathable natural long lasting cotton so we're teaming up with
cotton the fabric of our lives I am really trying to be so intentional and mindful about what I'm wearing when I'm home relaxing with my kids being present so when cotton reached out I was so excited I'm not going to be excited I'm sure all you guys know that going

breathable natural long lasting cotton it's amazing and cotton is natural cotton comes from the earth so there's a lot of synthetic and man made fibers out there in our clothes I actually just learned and I had no idea about this that polyester is made from crude oil that
is the same oil that's used to make fuel for cars which is wild I also didn't know that every time we wash synthetic fabrics like polyester clothing we're contributing to micro plastics in our waterways cotton has really taught me a lot about synthetic fabrics
and I'm trying to learn more and more I'm trying to even carry like cotton totes to the farmers market I don't want to use a lot of plastic bags I'm just doing anything that I can do and basically my part so remember to check the label for cotton and take a

to be very thoughtful with where you go from Baywalk well I had the thing was as I was spending so much time in Chicago and then going to every game like he really want to Dennis really want me to be at all the games so my agency was not very happy with me because I was getting all these great
scripts and auditions and I remember I was like just send them here and I'll study them and Dennis what throw them out the window he would throw my spit and I was like no you can't do that so they were kind of like you kind of need to come back but I also think like it's not bad that you
starve Holly would a little bit with your presence and you go kind of behind the scenes and then they want you even more at the time did you want to continue to pursue acting of course oh my god I was getting these great scripts so what was the next audition that you felt like was
the next sort of piece to your puzzle I would have to say I shot I yeah we were absolutely not together anymore I needed to sounds intense it was intense I literally had to I moved and I changed my number yeah that sounds like I could imagine that that would be because he
was just like suffocating always would be there and it just kind of got weird we got arrested in Miami I mean I love my mug shot though I'm not gonna lie but at that time you just didn't know if your career is going to be done why did you love your mug shot like what's what is
the light right like what is your angle right I don't know what makes it's just in case I need some tips I don't we don't need my I don't know I just kind of look into my eyes when I see it it's like cute no I mean my eyes are intense so you know you're Googling it right now
right now oh you need to see it it's someone painted it and then it's in a deck of cards it's like with two cards and then I'm like I'm gonna talk and biggie and I'm the queen of hearts so I was like that's so gangster I mean it is pretty good oh my God I don't know why I would have found
that I found them randomly and I'm like oh my god I gotta keep these somewhere I'm gonna relive it all the time you could put it was not a fun it wasn't fun it wasn't fun when you're with someone who so they were so cool though when I got in there and everything got intense because it was ridiculous
so when what was your next audition for your next moment in your career I started auditioning for movies and then I remember I was in Italy shooting this it's like they do a movie every year I was in Cortina and it's like the Christmas movie they do it every year and they
bring people in like someone from the United States but everyone's speaking Italian and it was really fun but before that I had auditioned for scary movie but I didn't hear anything and literally my manager called and said they want you and I said okay well I gotta
leave I'm doing this movie it worked out on time I flew from Italy straight to Canada and I'm just working with the weigh-ins on that on the movies they're they know what they're doing I mean yeah they're funny and they know funny and so it was perfect I mean they there was a
lot of surprises when I got there the script was different well I went with the flow I just want to flow they stabbed oh yeah well that was in there though that part was in there scary movie was another iconic moment yeah have no idea like I remember we were about to do
we did a worldwide tour for it so I was kind of out there by myself but you know we're you know everywhere you know with this movie premiering it everywhere in the world but I remember coming back and it was I wanted to go see it just like a regular person you know hiding the energy and it
would be it was sold out so you have to order before and I went with a couple friends we slipped in and we're just like this and just to hear like the response it would just brought back that genre it was fun and I think I think when I did that people kind of went oh she's fun and she doesn't
take everything so serious and that's really kind of how I am anyways so I think it was a good I think it was a good thing to do yeah and and girls this day or they still on Halloween will like create it and I love that I'm like oh my god that's the sweetest thing ever I love I love you
guys that do that it's really cute what I was just with with Katy Perry and there was a couple people in there a guy said I became a lifeguard because of you like people hear that from random people all the time and that's really sweet like all the whole entire cast what are you doing and
working on right now what are the things that are important to you at this moment I have something I can't talk about that's coming out but it will be really fun and then I'm doing a Disney movie that's cool yeah which one or is it not that's what I don't think I can say it yet
but it's a completely different kind of movie like what the type of movie that I really want to do what did you just do with Katy Perry you were telling us off air oh oh my gosh I eat I host at the night and she performed and it was lit and you have a Baywatch thing coming out yeah
you saw the Baym of course the Baywatch documentary yeah I can't wait to see that tell us about that what can we expect I mean I think you're just going to hear things on the other side you know everyone I think everyone has their story and everyone's going to open up there's never
before seen footage that people like would shoot bring their cameras that's cool and we all go pretty deep I feel like I said that there's like really exciting moments like if you accomplish something that felt released even diving off of speeding boats with rescue cans
and not like literally hitting everyone or like it was like one two three were in you know and we're on a speeding boat and I was like here we go we're going to do this but when you see those clips like we're just throwing the rest you can like we literally could have knocked another cast member out
I feel like if you did the show now there would be a lot of more regulations around it than there was at the time I feel like there were a lot because our one of the creators and directors is a real lifeguard in real life so we had a safety team we you learn how to do CPR I could save a life
with that all we're all the guys pretending like they needed to have CPR by you I feel like some of the friends of them would just like go who do you want to help a scene with and then they would just be drowning and then you pull them in and you know mouth mouth and I will say I'm
that's positive note there was always and then when you hear that theme song it was kind of like I don't know such a good theme song but then Kelly Slater was on it who is you know this iconic surfer I wish I was on when he was on he's so gorgeous pretty eyes he's gorgeous yeah and I
just I love surfers I love I love I love seeing those things and because I got a chance to kind of learn it but then you did reality television too before anyone it was it before the before the other one no it wasn't for the Osborne okay so it was around then though yeah right
same team the first ones to do it I think the Osborne for the first may have been dying to interview Ozzy Osborne about how I feel like he started reality television and there and there I love that family so much they're cool I see all kinds of things because they are constantly on
social media and it's hilarious because he's just we as I think that they did start the like Kardashian type of show for sure but you were in a rock and roll type of way because everyone was like what how did you decide to do reality television and why did you want to do it and
did you even know that it was a thing I didn't want to do it at first but it was the same people I'd worked at worth with at MTV and they just really wanted to do it this thing like a kind of like just trying it out and it was called a love story and they followed me to get pussycat dolls
and they followed us around and that one I felt was really cute and then they want a personal meeting it was all intense they wanted to do the wedding show called Tel death to us part by the way the first ones to do that you're the same yeah our show was David Lushapel you know
you inspired me from that show I remember thinking oh I want to do a joint bachelor I don't think I would do that because I remember that because we were so cool about everything and I was I think the one that was being crazier he was very he was very like on his best behavior
and I remember he was looking for me and I was getting a lap dance with a girl and making out with a girl in the hot ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha he was like this is the best part he was very like composed it would be okay we're doing the cake tasting today yeah he was also on tour
so I would be doing a lot of stuff there then he would come back and then he would be doing yoga and getting a colonic which was hilarious right wow that's like really our wedding was so abstract it was very abstract and everyone was there it was really sweet that everyone was there
and we walked out I mean you know the band got up and played and everyone was there it was cool you've lived a wild life oh I know it's a wild life I love it though I don't want to be boring no who does never be not boring um before you go can you share with our audience
because I feel like they would be mad at me what your beauty wellness health diet fitness secrets are hmm well I would say back in the day I only drank sodas only and there is even like a funny footage of me of Dave and I and where he's saying you have to stop drinking
these coaks you drink half of them I go to pick it up and it spills and I look down I go but there's two cigarette butts right here we were like we had like great chemistry you know I feel we did and we were funny like that so then it was like okay I'm gonna stop drinking these coaks
when you stop smoking which would be so much easier for me but I in the long run water fanatic I tricked my brain into loving water okay and what I feel like it was one of the best things I've ever done is the way you look the way you do from dancing because you dance a lot yeah although
I like I'm so sore from ibeeta I knew you're not gonna lie I thought you're like you're moving but well it was just like this the energy was so lit just hosting the event and then I just was up there dancing like just what I love to do or you know I mean for a lot of people that have really
supported my career and I could feel it and and Katie was lovely and part of something really sweet to me and tell you how to tell I don't know I have to watch it you have to watch it I don't want to repeat it but she was lovely I wish she said really it was like a heartfelt thing and I just know
I'm more obsessed with Katie that ever pretty iconic you know what and she's so tall gorgeous and I'm five two and a half so it's like wow she's just got this presence about her I don't know a lot of people that we've personally had on this podcast that have had such a long career
I mean you really have had a long career you've done a lot yeah where can everyone find you pimp yourself out tell us where they can go support what you're doing, your instagram handle obviously that which is my name I hate when people say their name why isn't that weird why
like when they say at car your own name speaking and then you say your own name like third person I don't know I feel weird I'll accidentally do it if I'm trying to figure something out but I don't blame anyone for doing it it's just something that feels weird to me do you know what I mean it's third person it's weird it's weird I mean listen I don't judge anyone that does it but I just Taylor don't get too excited he's gonna ask you for a picture thank you for coming on the show you
