I mean, she recorded an album, which you can find online if you really want to. After hearing it, though, I wouldn't call her a singer.

Edit: words

Supposedly he met her when she came out of a store through the wrong door. It was hot that day and as a result she didn’t have on a lot of attire. Little more than a simple, purple hat

I always thought she was just a model.

Tbf, I only knew her name from that claymation fighting show. But like yeah, this is weird to hear decades later.

I love how you can go her whole Wikipedia page until Filmography before you see any mention of her #1 movie role of all time, as the prostitute in Good Burger.

Prince "Discovered" a lot of female singers.

Yup. And if he made a record for them, he played all the instruments and sand background vocals. And there are probably all the originals that he sang in his vault somewhere. So they are mostly mediocre Prince albums, which can still be ok.

Sincerely,

Someone who listened to the Bria Valente album recently just to hear some unfamiliar Prince tunes.

So you are saying Prince probably hit that?

Prince 100% hit that

I feel like with Prince... it's more like Carmen Electra probably hit that.

I have to believe he made her pancakes after, too.

TyrionReynolds t1_jcbqv4c wrote

This is the way. The one who brags to all their friends about it is the one who hit it.

Pretty sure her fame comes from being a playable opponent in the greatest football gave ever made NFL 2K5.

I always thought her apex (if I may) came from doing a cameo as herself in the TV show House?

I read that as Charlie reviewing thundergun

“wait wait wait... He has a son?”

"...ffffuck man how do not know that?"

I actually learned about her and prince from the beginning of "Scary Movie". The movie sets it up making the audience thinking she's talking about Dennis Rodman (they were dating at the time), only for the light to turn on and a prince impersonator is tied to a chair screaming for help lol.

I don't remember that part at all. I'll have to rewatch it.

Well, he named her Carmen Electra, so, yeah, he discovered her.

I think it's funny that a porn actress chose the stage name Tera Patrick

I always thought she was just famous for being hot.

Chewyninja69 t1_jcd99ou wrote

“Hot” is rather subjective. The fake boobs ruin it for me.

Edit: I have nothing against anyone who chooses to have implants/enhancements/etc. You do you. I’m just speaking for myself.

marmorset t1_jcb3yks wrote

That is pretty much the definition of discovering, Prince should get credit.

Yeah, he “discovered” her all right.

Prince was a great music producer if you don’t count all the failures.

One of her music videos, “Go Go Dancer,” was partly shot at my old high school.

From his 20's!

I remember seeing one of her music videos back in the 90s long before she was famous as a model/presenter.
