SourceCarmen Electra was just Tara Patrick before auditioning for Prince in 1990. The audition changed her life (and her name), with the 18-year-old touring with Prince and recording an album. Though the singing never took off, she eventually found fame as a Playboy centerfold.
The Ohio native gained more recognition when she replaced two fellow Playmates: Jenny McCarthy as host of the MTV game show Singled Out and Pamela Anderson as a lifeguard on Baywatch – even though she didn't know how to swim.
