CARMEN ELECTRA is planning a new pop chart charge after recording an album with producer ONE SEVEN.
The model/actress, who previously recorded with Prince, met the hitmaker at a Hollywood party and he agreed to send her a handful of tracks he thought she’d like to record.
The result is Electra’s second album, C-17, which will be released in October (09).
Tracks include Bobbin’, Jimmy High and new single Who Do You Think You Are?
The producer says, “Most of the songs are gritty and intense up-tempo tracks. Who Do You Think Are? is a little darker. I see girls all the time that I used to audition with, and now they’re in very different situations. There are so many young girls who get hooked up with the darker side of Hollywood.”

Call it the battle of the bikini beauties. This is a rare contest where finishing last still makes you one of the most desirable women in the world!

Models and actresses set the standard for beauty in Hollywood and beyond, but which group of women is the sexiest and most appealing?  To find out RadarOnline.com turned to three experts who rated the six hottest actresses including Carmen Electra against six incredible models – all contestants, of course, wearing bikinis.

The judges graded them on sex appeal, body proportion and body tone. They picked individual winners and a group winner – and the results will surprise you.  Experts consulted by  Radar online were Dr. Anthony Youn, a plastic surgeon from Rochester Hills, Mich. and a regular commentator on E! Entertainment Network, Dr Edward Jackowski,author of the best-selling book, Escape You Shape and CEO of exude.com; and Bob Esquerre, a top fitness trainer and CEO of Esquerre Fitness Group.

Models and actresses set the standard for beauty in Hollywood and beyond, but which group of women is the sexiest?

To find out, Radar Online turned to three experts who rated six of the top beauties in each glam group (all contestants wearing bikinis, of course, as it is the Bikini Olympics).

The judges graded them on sex appeal, body proportion and tone.

The experts consulted were Dr. Anthony Youn, a plastic surgeon from Rochester Hills, Mich. and a regular commentator on E! Entertainment Network; Dr. Edward Jackowski, author of the best-selling book, “Escape Your Shape” and CEO of fitness and nutrition company Exude, Inc.; and Bob Esquerre, a top fitness trainer and CEO of Esquerre Fitness Group.

We’ve got a winner and she’s an actress. In fact, two of the three top spots were won by actresses, but when you see the photos it will be hard to call any of the catwalk queens a loser.

And the Gold Medal winner is…

Congratulations Carmen Electra! The Baywatch and “Scary Movie 4″ star looks so great in her white bikini that Dr. Youn said: “She’s one of the hottest women in Hollywood.”

Dr. Jackowski was equally appreciative, noting: “Carmen’s strong, yet feminine look is very alluring and extremely sexy.”

Esquerre also put her in first place, and pointed out: “Every curve, every nuance of her body and posture oozes sex appeal.” Indeed.

And the Silver Medal goes to…

Bar Rafaeli  “Every curve is perfect,” Dr. Youn says of the cover model for the 2009 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.

Trainer Esquerre agrees: “She’s one sexy lady—a classic beauty with soft, feminine skin and a beautifully curved body.”

And Dr. Jackowski thinks Bar could do wonders for the morale of America’s soldiers. “Bar’s poster should be a pin-up for every soldier overseas at war,” he said. “Bar is every man’s dream girl!”

And the Bronze Medal goes to…

Anna Faris The “Scary Movie” star looks close to perfection, so her third place finish shows the fierceness of this competition. Dr. Jackowski says, “Anna is very sexy, fit and has beautiful curves and is very comfortable in her own skin as she looks just perfect in that bikini”

Dr. Youn, the plastic surgeon, sees no room for improvement. He said: “She looks like she works out regularly and has a perfect bikini body.”

Trainer Esquerre is equally impressed. “She looks absolutely fab in that bikini—a great choice that shows what’s got to be shown and hides just enough,” he said. “Her body is taut and firm, maintaining sexy curves.”

A POLE dancing class is the setting that brings six very different women together in a play that is coming to Basingstoke and which features an all-star cast.

The Naked Truth is a girl’s night out coming to The Haymarket next week. It stars Trudie Goodwin – better known to many as June Ackland on ITV’s The Bill – who is thrilled to be back on stage.

“I was last on the stage 12 years ago so it was quite scary getting back up there,” she said.

“I did theatre for ten years before I went into television, but you wonder if you can do still do it. I’m really enjoying it.”

Her co-stars include Lisa Riley – Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale – Julie Buckfield, from Hollyoaks, Abi Titmuss and Emily Aston and Lorraine Hodgson, who both have numerous credits on series’ such as The Bill, EastEnders, Holby City and Heartbeat.

Goodwin said: “We are very close-knit, thank God, as we are in each other’s pockets!

“And it’s a very popular show. This is the fourth time it’s been done and Lisa Riley, who the play was written for, is wonderful.

“She’s really experienced and knows how to work the audience – we get a laugh about every 30 seconds!”

The play follows its heroines over the course of six months, during which time they decide to put on a charity show because Goodwin’s character has breast cancer.

“Along the way, we find out about their problems, and it’s a very funny piece,” said Goodwin. “And they are rubbish at pole dancing, it goes without saying!

“But we all had to learn how to do it and we do a warm up every day. I can get to the top of the dance pole now. At first, I could barely get my feet off the floor, and it’s a very beautiful form of exercise.

“It’s great for the legs and upper arms for ladies of my age!”

When the tour finishes in July, Goodwin plans to take a deserved holiday. However, it’s clearly been a worthwhile experience.

She said: “I’ve remembered why I enjoyed acting so much. Doing TV is so different and you forget why you started out being an actor.

“You can do something a bit different every night and you’re constantly seeing if you can improve.”

The Naked Truth is running at The Haymarket from June 4 to 6, with a matinee performance at 2pm on June 6.

A source said: “Britney loves pole dancing, it is her new favourite work out. She gets the toning she needs without having to hit the gym and wants to do it in the privacy of her own hotel room.

“Keeping fit on tour is very important as her show involves lots of rigorous dance routines, so Britney likes to do her pole dancing workout first thing in the morning.”

The mother-of-two has also requested the hotel provide a chef from restaurant chain Nando’s to be on hand to cook her spicy chicken whenever she feels like it.

Britney’s request comes just days after Russell Brand asked for a private pole.

The British comic star – who once gave Britney sex tips – is set to stay at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino when shooting starts on movie ‘Get Him to the Greek’ in Las Vegas.

Russell has requested the famous Apex suite, known as the “ultimate bachelor pad”, and has its own stripper pole.
