Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra - Why Not?

Written by Eric Olsen

Really damn freaky people can get married too - why not?

    There's no way former "Baywatch" star Carmen Electra and Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro could have had a regular wedding ceremony.

    The platinum-and-red invitations called for "hot and sexy" attire. And the 200 guests who arrived at the St. Regis Hotel in Los Angeles were greeted by men dressed in black with red masks covering their faces, similar to "Eyes Wide Shut," one of the couple's favorite films.

    But the feelings they expressed for each other couldn't have been more traditional.

    "I'm nervous!" Navarro said before the Nov. 22 nuptials, according to People magazine's Dec. 8 issue. "I'm marrying the girl of my dreams."

    ....The 31-year-old actress, who was married briefly to Dennis Rodman in 1998, wore a strapless, beaded, cream-colored Badgley Mischka gown. Navarro, 36, wore a Gucci suit. [AP]

Ah, that's sweet. But what of poor Dennis? Was he invited?

This is really news to me, as I was under the impression that he was gay. I read something in a Rolling Stone interview when he was with the Red Hot Chili Peppers about him leading an "alternative" lifestyle to that of the other members. Maybe that meant he was into bondage or something.

I am always the last to know.

Maybe the rest of them are gay.

#3 — November 30, 2003 @ 14:16PM — Eric Olsen

I was under the impression it was more of a pan-sexual kind of thing.

LIke this hasn't happened before. Oh, wait it has. Silly me. Since when has marriage had anything to do with sex? If you were really concerned about what Navarro sticks his willy in, you should put away your teddy bears, and lock up the hand lotion and guest towels.

This is really news to me, as I was under the impression that he was gay.

Hey, gay people marry. And marriage does not necessarily include sex.

#6 — November 30, 2003 @ 15:38PM — Jim Carruthers [URL]

Yes, Natalie, that was my point. Marriage has nothing to do with sex.

And here in Onscario, gay people can get married. Though it lacks the tackiness of Vegas (where the banns of Ms. Elektra were previously posted, so to speak)

However, when you get a couple like Navarro and Elektra, what's the point? Is it to secure the mortgage on a Bradey deisgned split-level ranch house?

Maybe it is because they love each other and want to commit fully. Even "freaks" can fall in love.

#8 — November 30, 2003 @ 17:10PM — Jim Carruthers [URL]

nah, "it's the story ... of a man named Davey ... and a girl with Elektra of her own"

#9 — November 30, 2003 @ 19:25PM — Eric Olsen

I prefer to see it your way Nat, call me naive.

#10 — November 30, 2003 @ 19:50PM — Natalie Davis [URL]

Yeah, it is always nice to see people marry for love's sake. I hope that is the case for Dave and Carmen, and I suspect it is.

#11 — December 12, 2003 @ 02:06AM — Mac Diva [URL]

I just hope Carmen is not 'mistaken' about really being married, again. That could become more embarassing than, well, running around in public with most of your clothes off.

Carmen & Dave are as sexual and hetrosexual as two people could be. They are totally in love and I think they are the fucking hottest couple on earth. I love Carmen or I would be jealous because Dave is the coolest, sexiest & soul-filled man on earth.

Every comment I've heard form others on here aren't worth reading. You have absolutely no cool and no clue. I love being me, but if I could be anyone else on earth it would be Carmen right now.

I know lil about dave or carmen but I seeing the newly weds eposode inspired me to look at lots of pictures that are on the internet of dave. some of them have him kissing guys and hugging them. However, I believe they were members of his group. also I saw a pic of marylin manson biting one of his nipples. and the clothes that he wears like fish net stockings and dresses made me think he was gay but he seems to be masculine when he's with carmen so it's kinda confusing to me. but I think he has stated that he was in touch with both his masculine and feminine side. give me some feed back thanx

#14 — January 30, 2004 @ 08:42AM — Eric Olsen

I would say he has been free with exploring androgyny in the past but seems to have settled on his masculine side, as did David Bowie for example.

THEY ARE THE HOTTEST COUPLE LIVING ,I WISH IT WILL LAST

#16 — July 29, 2005 @ 04:29AM — stacey

i wanna fuck them both and im not a dyke 2 sexiest people in the world

#17 — July 29, 2005 @ 05:10AM — Joe [URL]

Hey, I wish them all the best. I'm not really a huge fan of either one of them but their MTV reality show was enjoyable at the very least.

#18 — July 29, 2005 @ 08:17AM — Eric Olsen

it's very interesting that a key byproduct of celeb reality shows is their humanizing element

WAS IS THE NAME OF THE SONG CARMEN AND DAVE DANCED TO FOR THEIR FIRST DANCE

#20 — September 10, 2005 @ 22:56PM — amy

i just recently learned who dave was, i knew he was married to carmen, just never gave them much thought.after watching rockstarinxs OMG!anyway, my thoughts on daves sexuality are this 1. hes drag queen A.why? i read on carmens info about her and rodman, i quote " i have always wanted to marry a drag queen" end quote.therefore that explains dave wearing womens clothing, 2. i believe hes bisexual,carmen maybe too, that = a perfect match, but anywhich way and whatever the true story, shes a beautiful woman and hes soo dangHOT

I've listened to Dave's radio show and he's stated in no uncertain terms that he is a heterosexual man. He's also said he's glad he's had his experiences with sex, drugs, and rock because he's learned a lot in his life and those experiences have made him who he is today. So I would assume he is in touch with his masculine and feminine side but is in fact heterosexual.

Carmen and Dave have been together for five years and married in 2003, I believe. (I could be mistaken about the year they married but they HAVE been together for five years.) That's a more stable relationship than most Hollywood couples have, in all honesty.

And as far as "freaks" falling in love, I've heard the same opinion of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne and they've been together and happy for many years, which, again, is more than can be said for numerous Hollywood couples. I definately wish those two couples all the luck and happiness in the world and hope they have a long and happy marriage.
