Carmen Electra se está despidiendo de su nombre de nacimiento y abrazando su icónico apodo para siempre, pues su solicitud de cambio de nombre ha sido oficialmente concedida.

TMZ confirmó que a la icónica actriz y modelo de "Baywatch" se le concedió legalmente el nombre que buscaba hace unos 2 meses, de acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ.

Luego de dos meses de que diera a conocer sus intenciones de cambiarse el nombre, los tribunales han concedido que sea legalmente reconocida como "Carmen Electra" en lugar de su nombre de nacimiento Tara Leigh Patrick en los documentos del gobierno y todo.

Fuimos los primeros en contarles: Carmen Electra hizo la presentación el 29 de diciembre de 2023 y en su momento nos dijeron que su razonamiento se debía a su deseo de comenzar de nuevo en las vísperas del Año Nuevo.

Por supuesto, hace siglos que nadie le dice Tara, ya que Carmen lleva luciendo su apodo desde que irrumpió en escena en su momento.

Por si no conoces la historia de cómo consiguió su nombre artístico, fue el mismísimo Prince quien se lo puso cuando fue a una audición para formar parte de un grupo femenino que él estaba armando a principios de los 90.

Desafortunadamente, no fue elegida por Prince, pero abrió su propio camino al estrellato, causando sensación en televisión y más allá y, obviamente, el nombre de Carmen se quedó.

Su apodo se ha convertido en sinónimo de su icónico estatus como icono de la cultura pop, por lo que es lógico que lo haya querido convertir en su verdadero nombre.

Carmen Electra is bidding farewell to her birth name and embracing her iconic stage moniker for good ... 'cause her name change request has been officially granted!!

TMZ has confirmed that the iconic "Baywatch" actress/model was legally granted the name she sought about 2 months ago -- this according to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ.

Two months after she made her intentions known to the court, she's now legally recognized as "Carmen Electra" instead of her birth name Tara Leigh Patrick on government docs and all.

We broke the story ... CE made the filing on Dec. 29, 2023, and we were told at the time her reasoning boiled down to her wanting a fresh start for the New Year.

Of course, it's been absolutely ages since anyone's called her Tara as Carmen's been rocking her super cool moniker since bursting onto the scene back in the day.

If you didn't know the backstory to how she even got her stage name, it was actually late icon Prince who bestowed it upon her when she auditioned to be part of an all-girl group he was assembling in the early '90s.

Unfortunately, she didn't make the cut for Prince ... but she went on to blaze her own trail to stardom, making a splash on TV and beyond -- and obviously, the name Carmen stuck around.

Safe to say ... her cool moniker has become synonymous with her iconic status as a pop culture icon, so it's only fitting she made it the real deal.

Madonna brought out a special guest for her concert north of the border, playing to the crowd with a fan favorite and national treasure ... none other than Pamela Anderson!!!

Madonna was performing in front of a sold-out crowd Wednesday night at Rogers Arena in Vancouver -- when Pamela, the hometown hero, joined her onstage.

The two icons hugged and kissed on the cheek before sitting down together for Madonna's hit song, "Vogue." TMZ has it all on video ... Pamela and Madonna act as judges as models turn the stage into a runway, strutting their stuff and striking a pose in front of them.

As you can see, Pamela and Madonna are holding up scorecards as they judge the fake pageant on stage ... and it's mostly 10s across the board.

Madonna's obviously in full hair and makeup for her "Celebration" tour, but Pamela was fresh-faced and au naturel ... hey, no complaints here!!! BTW, this all-natural look is actually something Pam has been rockin' a lot lately -- it's kind of her new thing, in fact.

She's got a new skincare line out called Sonsie ... and the whole idea here about her products is that it's all about promoting minimalist beauty -- something PA is sticking to out in public. She's not wearing any makeup these days ... even when she's next to Madge!

Madonna hizo algo exepcional durante su concierto al norte de la frontera, tocando para el público con una favorita de los fans y tesoro nacional, ¡nada menos que Pamela Anderson!

Madonna estaba actuando frente a una multitud la noche del miércoles en el Rogers Arena de Vancouver, cuando Pamela -la heroína de la ciudad- se unió a ella en el escenario.

Las dos divas se abrazaron y se besaron en la mejilla antes de sorprender con la exitosa canción de Madonna, "Vogue" y TMZ lo tiene todo en video. Pamela y Madonna actúan como jueces mientras las modelos convierten el escenario en una pasarela, luciéndose y posando.

Como se puede ver, Pamela y Madonna están sosteniendo las tarjetas de puntuación y son muy amables al calificar casi todo con un 10.

Madonna, obviamente, estaba maquillada y peinada como su "Celebration Tour" dicta, pero Pamela se mostró al natural. Por cierto, este look natural es algo que Pam ha estado llevando mucho últimamente, de hecho es su nuevo estilo.

Ella tiene una nueva línea de cuidado de la piel llamada Sonsie, cuya idea es promover la belleza minimalista. Es por eso que no lleva nada de maquillaje estos días, ¡incluso estando al lado de Madonna!

Zak Bagans has a new cursed item going on display at his museum, one with a connection to recently deceased Playboy model Masuimi Max ... TMZ has learned.

The paranormal investigator tells us ... Charles Max, Masuimi's brother, met him at his museum in Las Vegas and was totally rattled by an innocuous-looking jewelry box he said once belonged to MM's mom.

After their mother died, Charles told Zak their father kept the jewelry box ... an odd move, because Charles says Korean people generally burn a loved one's possessions after they die.

Charles ended up taking the box, and quickly wished he hadn't -- he told Zak the box gives people amnesia, and detailed several other terrifying experiences with the creepy artifact.

For example ... Zak says Charles told him several mirrors in his house cracked when he put the box next to them, cold spots cropped up in different places in the home where Charles said he could see his own breath.

He even claims he would feel paralyzed at times, describing it as being grabbed by an unseen force.

Ultimately, Charles told Zak he gave the box to one of his sisters -- NOT Masuimi -- who swears she never gave it to Masuimi.

While the paranormal experiences stopped haunting Charles, the whole family has no explanation for how the box ended up in Masuimi's possession.

We broke the story ... Masuimi died last month at her Las Vegas-area home. Cops said no foul play was suspected at the time though her cause of death is still unclear. She was only 45.

On the same day she passed, Charles and his other sister went to her house, and found the jewelry box on the floor near the door -- again, shocking 'cause this other sister says she didn't give it to Masuimi.

Charles swears Masuimi would never have wanted the box -- she didn't have a good relationship with their mother, so there's no reason she'd covet it.

One more creepy fact/coincidence ... Masuimi died on the same date as her mother.
