Actress Carmen Electra has been named “Rising Female Star of the Year” by the home entertainment industry and will receive the recognition at VSDA’s Home Entertainment 2006 during the Awards Show on Tuesday, July 11, 2006 from 8:30 to 10:00 PM. The annual convention for the home entertainment industry takes place July 11-13, 2006 at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

“Carmen Electra’s dynamic image and personality defines what it means to be a Rising Star in the entertainment industry,” said Bo Andersen, President of the Entertainment Merchants Association (EMA), which is presenting VSDA’s Home Entertainment 2006. “Ms. Electra has the unique ability to expand her career into multiple areas. She enjoys success as a musician, actress, television host, and performer and her career is undeniably in its ascendancy.”

Carmen Electra got her start in the entertainment industry when she released a self-titled album under musical impresario Prince’s record label in 1992. As a cast member of the hit television series Baywatch, Electra became a fixture on the most-watched show on television. Carmen Electra has since expanded her repertoire beyond the tanned and toned bodies of southern California’s beaches by displaying her comedic abilities in box office hits such as Scary Movie, Starsky & Hutch, Date Movie, and Scary Movie 4. Electra has recently made waves as the lead of the dance ensemble The Pussycat Dolls and with the release of her workout DVDs Carmen Electra’s Aerobic Striptease.

In stores now is Tripping The Rift: The Complete Second Season, the 13-episode DVD box set of the Sci-Fi Channel’s mature freaky animated series. Carmen Electra supplies the vocal talent of Six, the hottest, sexiest, and most-advanced android ever.

Anchor Bay Entertainment, an IDT Entertainment company, released the first two seasons of Tripping The Rift on DVD and will host “A Night Of Stars” party at VSDA’s Home Entertainment 2006 on Tuesday, July 11th to honor Carmen’s achievement.

“We at Anchor Bay Entertainment are thrilled to be part of the Carmen Electra universe. She is dynamic, sexy and a completely original entertainer,” remarked Bill Clark, General Manager, Anchor Bay Entertainment. “We promise an evening of ‘Electra-fying’ fun!”

VSDA’s Home Entertainment 2006, presented by the EMA, brings together retailers, distributors, and suppliers of DVDs and video and computer games to learn about upcoming releases and industry developments and to celebrate the $32 billion home entertainment industry.
