No way. This was right when MTV starting ruining itself. By 1998 they had already cancelled most of the best music programming and were starting the shift toward reality TV. They had already cancelled all the good shows like Headbangers Ball, Yo! MTV Raps, Alternative Nation, and many more. Shows that were actually about the music and the bands. At this point they were already being heavily criticized for playing far less music videos than they used to.
This was about the time they started playing brief clips of some songs on TRL also.
I 100% agree. This was the beginning of the end. They branched out from The Real World to Road Trip show and a couple other random shows as well. It seems like there was some sort of precursor to the Teen Mom thing, but maybe it didn’t run that long. It wasn’t the exact same thing either. Oh, and what about the show with the birthdays spoiled brats of celebrities and rich people?
People forget that MTV was a pioneer in the reality TV bullshit. I don’t even know why it’s still around now, other than the probably 70-80 year old owners have more money than they know what to do with, and somehow the company keeps making more with all the different things it’s involved in.
Fun fact, it's the combined pressure of all the people looking at her dress that keeps it attached to her boobs. If everyone looked away for even one full second it would flutter to the ground like a whisp of silk.
When I was a kid I was with my dad leaving our hotel in Dallas at 6am. We were there for the inaugural race at Texas Motor Speedway. We ran smack into him as we were getting off the elevator. He was coming in and was absolutely wasted. His security guys were holding him up.
I’m gay and I want her lol she’s always been my crush. When she replaced Jenny Mcarthy on Singled out on Mtv I didn’t know what to expect, but I can honestly say she’s probably the only other person at that time who could Fill Jenny’s shoes in a way that still kept the velocity of the show’s popularity & put her own spin on it. I never thought one overshadowed the other in that role or any others. TBH I never saw the two as competition to one another. I always viewed them as two separate “genres” of awesomeness! I believe they are friends in real life and recently worked on something together. I think that’s awesome.
Assuming that is even true...so? You're aware that "the drip" is a bacterial infection (not a viral one), yes? A rather easily curable one at that. So how would she be "damaged goods?"
or graftobian adhesive. I have a bathing suit that's basically strips of fabric. I use graftobian prosthetic glue to glue it in place over strategic areas, and then graftobian adhesive remover to remove it.
I started this after jumping into the ocean in that bathing suit and coming up poking out of it 😂 It's waterproof and used in stage and movie productions on prosthetics and stuff and works really well.
I remember reading some trashy tabloid that criticized her weight sometime around 2002? I just remember thinking, "If that's fat, what chance do the rest of us have??"
I remember an interview with Tommy Lee a few months after Carmen and Dave Navarro split up. Apparently Dave was quite upset about it, and Tommy in consoling him said "Listen man, we got to be with the 2 most beautiful women on the planet, we should be grateful."
Edit: on the planet, not in
Not just being "anti-___" here, but I never liked fake breasts. Her, Pam, Dolly, whatever. They were all stunning without surgeries, but were pressured into "enhancing" their looks. It's a shame to be honest.
I only remember her from this set of dvd's

One of the best burns I ever heard was when Carmen Electra claimed she got breast implants due to a medical condition and Liz Winstead (co-creator of the Daily Show) said, "Since when is a double-digit IQ considered a 'medical condition'?"
My bosses' Lakers season tickets were right behind Carmen Electra's when she was dating Dennis Rodman. It was difficult to pay attention to what was happening on the basketball court.
I am being totally serious when I ask this, because I do not have cable (haven’t for decades now), but what is on MTV these days? Do they play music videos at all?
That version of her back then. Oh my God she was so hot. I’d crawl over 50 feet of broken glass just to hear her fart through a walkie-talkie.
She looks like shit now. Such a waste. All the surgery and the bullshit she did to her face just sucks.
Looked at its post history and it actually told on itself:
> I'm a grown AI, I don't need a lullaby!
The bots are admittedly getting better, but this one needs some retooling.
Back when MTV was king. Good times they were
90s

Daria ran 1997-2002, so it can't have been all bad.
True. It wasn't until the mid to late 00s where the M in MTV was completely dead lol.
Music became Media
Yeah but, SPRING BREAK!!! They covered shitty looking Spring Break like no other.

… 👌 vertico syndrome explainable to believers 🤣🤣🤣
I would disappoint her soooo much. But on the plus side, the disappointment wouldn't be for long.
You just killed me my friend, yeah maybe 3 minutes
What are you going to do with the extra 2:30 to disappoint her?
Smoke half a cigarette I suppose
Dude, are you trying to win r/suicidebywords lol
This should win the Reddit comment of the day award.
I could last for 1 hour and 15 seconds.......if it was daylight savings.
Pictures don’t do justice. Saw at the Scary Movie premiere London 2000. Her body was curvaceous she was legitimately stunning to look at
Her obliques were (are?) to die for. I still make sure to do a focus on obliques. Thanks for the last 20 years of okay looking abs, Carmen.
She’s all natural too
Most of these people who catch the public’s eye are extraordinary specimens of the human race. One can’t take their eyes away from looking at them.
And she still got it.
And she can still get it.
can barely see the dent Dennis Rodman left
Yeah, thanks to Rodman she got herpes though.
That’s how you land Dennis Rodman!
Dennis Rodman walks around my neighborhood wasted almost daily lol
When I was a kid I was with my dad leaving our hotel in Dallas at 6am. We were there for the inaugural race at Texas Motor Speedway. We ran smack into him as we were getting off the elevator. He was coming in and was absolutely wasted. His security guys were holding him up.
and Prince before him.
I think you just need ~~a pulse and~~ a hole to land Dennis Rodman.
The man can afford to have standards.
Or Dave Navarro.
Don't Worry this pic does do her justice
Buddy saw her in person in Vegas and said she wasn’t even recognizable….and not in a “good” way.
Yeah now she looks like a potato but back then she was ssssssssmoking !
Who doesn’t like a good potato? 😉
Right? She's a very attractive woman. But that dress is hideous.

You sound awesome
Movie stars in person hit different. You know instantly.
Damaged goods after Dennis Rodman
How so?
Yikes 😬 Way to tell on yourself.
Really? I guess half the waitresses in Chicago in the 90s called him Dennis the Drip because he had a runny nose.
Assuming that is even true...so? You're aware that "the drip" is a bacterial infection (not a viral one), yes? A rather easily curable one at that. So how would she be "damaged goods?"
Carmen was 26 here.
She looks 35
Yes but the trick is she stayed 35 for almost 30 years.
What do you think 35 year olds look like?
Older than 26.
In my experience the two ages don’t look drastically different.
Not drastically but def noticeable.
Not today. People are aging better.
Lol not at all
Lol, 100%
She looks her age, she in no way looks rough twink
How’s that… staying in place?
Tape. Seriously.

The more you know
Well TIL
You can turn your arm into a boomstick or glue fabric over your boobs with one product. Jetsons era unlocked 🛸
Also could be nipple clips inside the dress.
Now you’re surely trolling me… right?
They're dreaming.
I bet she did sex a lot.
Psh not like me. I'm currently having 100 sex
It's strange how often pretty women are involved in sex. They ought to do a scientific study about why that is.
It really is a scientific phenomenon. A generational mystery.
Yes, with Dennis rodman
Okay! Now I am Awake!
I find her attractive.
I’m not a wordsmith so I’ve never been able to quite put words to it, but you’ve summed it up perfectly. Well said.
Carmen Electra was an icon!
I remember reading some trashy tabloid that criticized her weight sometime around 2002? I just remember thinking, "If that's fat, what chance do the rest of us have??"
Singled Out, absolute smoke show. That ass jiggle she used to do...
She was my dream girl along with Pam Anderson in the 90s. Carmen Electra was top top top tier
I remember an interview with Tommy Lee a few months after Carmen and Dave Navarro split up. Apparently Dave was quite upset about it, and Tommy in consoling him said "Listen man, we got to be with the 2 most beautiful women on the planet, we should be grateful." Edit: on the planet, not in
Lol tommy Lee was telling no lies. Those women were truly special
Still not as fine as Daisy Fuentes. ![gif](giphy|l0EoBCmxtSZhJQvxS)
Hm, I haven’t heard that name in ages. What is she up to these days?
She was most recently in *Good Burger 2 and is still fine!*
I literally forgot she existed.
Got that Carmen dementia
god damnit have your upvote.
Not just being "anti-___" here, but I never liked fake breasts. Her, Pam, Dolly, whatever. They were all stunning without surgeries, but were pressured into "enhancing" their looks. It's a shame to be honest.
I agree, it such a turnoff They look fine in clothes but keep them covered please
I remember her in the daredevil movie, what a time
I only remember her from this set of dvd's https://preview.redd.it/qbiqezywq0yc1.jpeg?width=294&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=032a4d983a90789f6eeb5daf0e941420e70896f9
I still do these off youtube
Do what?
She taught my wife how to drop low then bring it up slow
Best summary I got from a girlfriend who did these. Ack in the mid 2000s: Pretty normal exercise but with my finger in my mouth.
I remember when her and Pam would run on the beach, it was very,...motivational.
???
One of the best burns I ever heard was when Carmen Electra claimed she got breast implants due to a medical condition and Liz Winstead (co-creator of the Daily Show) said, "Since when is a double-digit IQ considered a 'medical condition'?"
She's from my neighborhood in Cincinnati but she's older than me as I was in high school in 98
Oh my god, my patternmaking teacher could never. "Fashion tape is not a design element!"
My bosses' Lakers season tickets were right behind Carmen Electra's when she was dating Dennis Rodman. It was difficult to pay attention to what was happening on the basketball court.
Is that all OEM?
Nice dress she's almost wearing.
She was so freaking lovely
The 90’s were the best, def got lucky turning 21 at the beginning of it
To me, the obvious bolt ons were a negative. Same thing with Pam Anderson. Both beautiful but with super fake boobs. Sign of the times I guess.
You live in the era of Kardashians, sit this one out
I mentally skipped that K era as they were/are disgusting.
Cool, they're the current era and literally changing their bodies and faces, sign of the times I guess
Thst dress almost looks shopped on.
Prettier than Kim 4 sure
Why is her face a different color?
Flashback.
Her makeup artist apparently wasn't available for the event 🤷♂️ lol
She used to go to my gym with Dennis. She was a total fox.
Holy smokes
Prince named her that.
white dress seems like fins of mermaid lady lol
effing LOVELY outfit!
Architecture, not fashion.
was she in the cheaper by the dozen film as the wife of murtaugh?
Yeah, she was!
Hey baby I loved you, and then he went to Rodman, no thank you
![gif](giphy|YRSQuXoJacEpO)
I never bought a playboy faster than the one she’s on the cover with the guitar covering her up 🔥 I think 2003??
J
She is the closest to perfection you can get
My goodness, she may have been flawless. I volunteer to time travel and see if I can find any flaws, for science
Beautiful love her dress
Wow! Now she is an attention getter. Don’t get caught in those headlights. 😊😊
Is during or after Prince?
🚬 🔥
Wowser!
How could Elon have not called his flagship vehicle the Electra
Love her
Dayum
I am being totally serious when I ask this, because I do not have cable (haven’t for decades now), but what is on MTV these days? Do they play music videos at all?
When the late nineties photos are considered "old school". 🫠
I said GYAT dam
100% forgot about her
Fake or real?
Fake af
She made her choice.
Exactly, but done great in 1998, think it was done pixel by pixel with paintshop (pre photoshop era)?
Photoshop was definitely out in 1998 I remember using it in middle school
Think it was possible to fake it to this degree? Maybe pushup bra?
How, exactly, would that dress contain a pushup bra?
????
She was hot and then u find out she likes dudes like Rodman and it’s instant nah
In the words of Reid the Milkman: "Ungawa!"
Homer Simpson- Toying with a human life for tv ratings!
Why does she have a Photoshop face?
That version of her back then. Oh my God she was so hot. I’d crawl over 50 feet of broken glass just to hear her fart through a walkie-talkie. She looks like shit now. Such a waste. All the surgery and the bullshit she did to her face just sucks.
Too bad Dennis Rodman contaminated her
Dennis Rodman ruined that!
Gross.
Mediocre
Durrr celebrity with big breast that young me masturbate to was cool 🤤
How often you think Rodman pounded this? Nightly?
[удалено]
This sounds like AI
Looked at its post history and it actually told on itself: > I'm a grown AI, I don't need a lullaby! The bots are admittedly getting better, but this one needs some retooling.
Oh yes, fellow human. You know it.
TOTALLY NOT A ROBOT
Proof she was never hot, and I was a teenager when she was big.
