Carmen Electra, who is engaged to her fiancé Rob Patterson, says she would love to be a mother—but not yet.

“I hope to be a mom some day, but I’m not rushing to be one,” Electra told “People” magazine at Shrine at MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Connecticut. “It would be a lot of fun. A lot of hard work, but I’ll look forward to it someday.”

Electra is currently filming her latest movie “Mardi Gras.” The 36-year-old actress will also be releasing her new line of portable stripper poles.

“Pole dancing really isn’t as easy as it looks,” says Electra. “I’m still taking pointers. It’s a good workout.”

Actress CARMEN ELECTRA has laughed off reports her divorce from rocker DAVE NAVARRO was caused by their MTV reality show ‘TIL DEATH DO US PART: CARMEN & DAVE.

Electra – real name TARA PATRICK – finalized her divorce from THE PANIC CHANNEL guitarist last month after two and a half years of marriage, but she refuses to blame the alleged ‘MTV curse’ for her failed relationship, insisting there is no such thing.

She says, “I don’t believe so, though many people have been put off (reality TV shows). Just look at SHARON and OZZY OSBOURNE. Those two are totally happy and they had the cameras following them for years.

“I went to their place for New Year’s Eve actually, and they seem happier and crazier than ever. It was so funny because the animals got out and began running amok and poor Ozzy was trying to round them up. He got so mad.”

Pop stars JESSICA SIMPSON and NICK LACHEY divorced in June 2006 after appearing on MTV’s NEWLYWEDS: NICK AND JESSICA, while MEET THE BARKERS’ TRAVIS BARKER split from wife SHANNA MOAKLER in August 2006.

Here’s a new rule for all married couples out there: don’t get your own show on MTV.

Just like Nick and Jessica, stars of Newlyweds, Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra have separated. The two once starred in MTV’s Til Death Do Us Part.

Reuters reports that Electra, a former Baywatch girl, and Navarro, current co-host of Rock Star: Supernova, are “amicably separating,” according to publicist Bill Reece. No other details of the break-up were provided.

The two married in November 2003, with the wedding documented and broadcast on television as part of their MTV show.

It was the second marriage for Electra, 34, after a brief stint as basketball star Dennis Rodman’s wife.

The 39-year-old Navarro is best known as a guitarist for rock bands like Jane’s Addiction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
