Carmen Electra is one of those celebrities that are prized for eye candy appeal, but if you look closely and pay attention, she has solid comic timing and a self-deprecating sense of humor that should translate into more film and television roles.

People magazine recently noted her civilized post-divorce relationship with rocker Dave Navarro, and it seems most people who work professionally with her all are very complimentary of the Irish-Cherokee-German all-American beauty.

So why do we only see Carmen these days at sports awards shows and opening Lesbian golf tournaments as hired talent to titillate?

Her love life is always under scrutiny, with Electra has been busy fending off rumors she was involved with Jamie Foxx and Joan Jett.

Carmen told People back in March: "Everything's been going really good ... I'm not so much about going out out so much anymore. To me, I get more excited to stay home. But I should probably get out a little bit more!"

Electra fans want to see the funny beauty in her own starring vehicle on television, or see if she can stretch her thespian abilities into a film role that would fly in the face of her bombshell fall-back persona.
