Carmen Electra's Bombshells
The Pussycat Dolls' monopoly on sexy Hollywood burlesque acts is over.
Carmen Electra, one of the celebrities who put the Pussycats on the map by guest-dancing with the troupe (see "Christina, Gwen Stefani, Dita Von Teese Help Bring Back Burlesque"), has formed her own ensemble, the Bombshells. They debuted last month at a tsunami benefit headlined by Camp Freddy, the all-star cover band featuring Electra's husband, Dave Navarro (see "Linkin Park, Jay-Z, No Doubt Rock The House To Rebuild South Asia").
"Dave looked at me and said, 'Why don't you get your girls together and put together a little dance show, then you can open up for us,' " recalled Electra, who has been dancing since high school (the same Ohio school Nick Lachey attended). "So I got really excited and called all the girls I know who are dancers. It's gonna have a little of that burlesque undertone, so you still get that sexiness and a little bit of a striptease element, but more modern with some hip-hop beats and some different cool stuff."
With the launch of the Bombshells, Electra is no longer participating in the Pussycat Dolls show or their upcoming album (see "Sing Like Christina And Dance Like Carmen? The Pussycat Dolls Want You").
