Not quite in the same league as Pamela Anderson, who is said to have appeared more times, in and on the cover of Playboy magazine than any other model, but Carmen Electra is certainly up there when it comes to popularity.

The Playboy bunny girl has graced the cover of three Playboy magazines to date. December 2000, April 2003 and January 2009.

This month sees Carmen looking far younger than her 36 years as she begins the Playboy bunny girl covers for 2009 and poses for the 55th Anniversary pictorial.

Carmen and Anderson also share another link in that they have both have a penchant for bad boy rockers. Both of them have been involved with rocker, Tommy Lee. Following Pamela’s divorce from the Motley Crew band member, Carmen dated Lee for a short time before she married another rocker, Dave Navarro of The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Following her usual love of rockers, Carmen is now engaged to Rob Patterson, the current live guitarist for KoЯn. She recently had an “R” tattoo behind her ear in recognition of their relationship.
