Carmen Watch 02

11/25/02 Hollywood Squares

On the 25th and 26th of November, Carmen had another little stint on Hollywood Squares. (This was her third time, I believe.) It was your usual corniness, but she looked cute and appeared to be having a good time.

11/18/02 Total Request Live

Carmen had a chance to boogie down with the kids of TRL this week durring a "suprize guest appearance". She was on for the whole show- they even showed her dancing in a little box in the corner of the videos they played. She looked absolutely adorable in her little mini plaid skirt and boots. She gave us a sample of what's she's been learning on the drums, which you can see in this mov clip. (7.9 MB) She laughed at herself as she watched the Love Story clip of her playing the drums, because she thinks it shows on her face too much how hard she's concentrating. She did a segment of her interview outside on the street, and showed the action figure that was made to look like her. (The doll isn't available to buy- it's just a sample that was made for her durring a segment of Livin Large.) She had kind of a tear-jerking moment when she was asked what she'd do if she had all the money in the world. She explained that she's always wanted to buy her mom a new house and a new car and show her a life she's never known. She said that since her mom has passed away- she can't, but would still like to spoil her dad. She really looked like she was fighting tears at this moment, which was heartbreaking to watch. But soon she was back inside, dancing with all the fifteen-year-olds and having a blast.

10/15/02 Late Late Show w/ Craige Kilborn

Carmen was on the Craige Kilborn show agian on Friday. They are now refering to Carmen as "a good friend of the show", because they have her on so often. She looked so cool in her black outfit with the little leather newsboy cap. Craige was teasing her about her Juicy suits he always sees her wearing at the gym, because they say "Juicy" on the behind. Carmen talked about her new show "Livin Large", which she says is in syndication and already running in many parts of the country. You can see part of her "Five Questions" segment in this mov clip (6.5MB), where she's asked about Daves peircings and does a slow-motion Baywatch run.

10/03/02 Off Centre

Carmen had one of her funniest appearances on a sitcom yet on the new WB show Off Centre, in an eppisode called Unflushable. Carmen's performance was really good, as well as the rest of the cast. In the show, Carmen plays herself and decides to date one of the nerdy main characters because she is ready for a "nice and normal guy." But the show takes a somewhat demented turn when she takes him back to her appartment and he takes a huge dump in her toilet and is not able to flush it down. After that, the show is pretty much out of control. (Please note that the shots from vidcap 11 were taken from inside of a toilet.) The first 4 vidcaps are from the rehearsal that Extra! covered on October 2nd, where she told us:
"It's been so much fun. Actually this whole episode is really, really funny and I had such a wonderful experience here with everyone. They're so talented and I had a great time."

09/12/02 Filming Baywatch Movie in Hawaii

07/09/02 Women of the Beach
womenbeach.gif - 14679 Bytes Carmen hosted a special on the E! network called Women of the Beach. It was basically an excuse to promote the movie Blue Crush, but they also profiled some of the women from Baywatch. They did a nice profile on Carmen, which was a very good suprize. She talked about Baywatch, Battlebots, Pussycat Dolls, her new workout called "cardio striptease" and how she met Dave, which you can see in this clip. (4 MB) The second clip is of her in her Cardio Strip class as the Crunch gym. (4.1 MB)

08/24/02 Bet On Sports Grand Opening

Carmen and the Pussycat Dolls were one of the main features of the Bet On Sports grand opening, down in Costa Rica. She got to party a lot while she was there. The Pussycat Dolls section of this site has a few vidcaps and movies from her performance.

08/04/02 Teen Choice Awards

Carmen got to play Paula Abdul in a funny American Idol spoof, durring the Teen Choice Awards. She apparently felt guilty about it, and called Paula to make sure it was ok with her afterwards. The skit was taped a day before the actual awards, and she posed for lots of pictures as well. For the actual show, she presented the "Favorite Male Artist" award to Ja Rule, along with Joshua Jackson. They used coconuts instead of envelopes for the show. Carmen really hammed it up when she gently tapped it against the podium and it "wouldn't break". Joshua finally slammed it on the floor and it popped open.

07/04/02 Monte Carlo Television Festival

Carmen and Dave went to Monaco for the Monte Carlo Television Festival. We haven't really figured out what goes on there, other than Carmen changing into a zillion different cute dresses, which is always great. She talked about it on Good Day Live recently: "We had to have dinner with the Prince. He chooses who he wants to sit with." It's not suprizing that Carmen was at his table.

00/00/02 Good Day Live

Carmen was able to sit in as a guest host of Good Day Live on several different occasions durring the summer. They don't give much of a notice ahead of time, so I'm sure many of us have missed her at times. This show is a wonderful opportunity for fans to see the real Carmen and to hear her talk about non-Carmen subjects. There have been some really funny moments where comments just fly out of her mouth. One of the funniest was when she caused Paula Abdul to choke when she blurted out that Jennifer Lopez perfume ad seemed like a douche commercial. Paula seemed shocked, but also very amused as well.

05/02/02 Last Call with Carson Daly

Carmen was on this show durring it's special week taping episodes in Las Vegas. Her segment was kind of short because most of the time was given to the musical guests, The Eels. Carson pretty much asked your basic stupid questions. I was psyched when he brought up her wonderful piece in Blender magazine because I thought they would have a discussion about music. Unfortunately, he turned it into a Baywatch discussion when he said "Hasselhoff must have been so disappointed he wasn't on your list!" They also did a dominatrix demo with a whip that Dave gave her as a gift.

04/28/02 Kids For Kids Celeb Carnival

04/25/02 Hollywood Tans Promotion

Carmen helped promote the opening of the New York franchise for Hollywood Tans. She was there to help judge a modeling contest to choose a man and a woman to appear on a Hollywood Tans billboard. She mentioned on The View that there is a particular machine she loves to use, because it sprays you down with self tanner with very nice and even results, and you don't have to deal with the bad rays.

04/25/02 The View
Carmen was on the View the morning of her Hollywood Tans project. She talked a lot about starting a family. She appeared to sorta put her foot in her mouth when she was talking about how she feels sorry for the children of career women. It wasn't that awkward though. She also gushed about Dave and how he's "such a beautiful person", which was cute.

04/13/02 ESPN Action Sports and Music Awards

Carmen arrived with Dave at the ESPN Action Sports and Music Awards where she presented along with Austin Powers star Vern Troyer. She created a great photo-op when she spontaniously scooped Vern up. She mentioned on a talk show afterwards that she felt badly she did that because she probably should have asked first. She said she didn't even have time to think about it since it was such an instinctual thing to do. He doesn't look like he minded that much though, especially in the pic where he's planting a kiss on her.

04/12/02 Madre's Opening Night

Carmen and Dave were invited to the opening night of the Los Angeles restaurant Madre's, which belongs to Jennifer Lopez. The E! network ran a special called "A Shabby Chic Makeover", which was mainly about putting the restaurant together, but at the end they showed the guests on opening night. Carmen and Dave are interviewed in this 2.5 MB clip.

04/09/02 Total Request Live

Carmen went on TRL while she was promoting her involvement with Hollywood Tans. Her appearance was pretty short, but she did appear to have fun playing with the RC cars they set up representing Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. At the end, she dramatically stomped on the Justin doll and later said "I had to do it for Britney!"

02/28/02 Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn

This is another one of those great Kilborn appearances! Something about that guy must make her really comfortable because she's so much more spontanious and real. She started out talking about her trip to the Bahama's to be on the Regis and Kelly show, and how Dave accompanied her and they were able to make a nice vacation out of the deal. She talked about the Talk shoot, and how she was insecure after the victoria's secret models were there. She also talked about Battlebots, and the fact that she hadn't ever heard of it, but called her dad and learned it was his favorit show- so she took the gig for him. Then, at the end of the interview, Dave came out and suprized her, which you can see in the first DivX clip (3.9MB). Carmen and Dave returned at the end of the show for the game of Yambo, which was so fun too see. You can watch a 90 second DivX clip by clicking on the second pic. (9.5MB) Please make sure you have the DivX 5 codec installed before you download these clips.

02/25/02 Regis & Kelly

Carmen was lucky enough to be a guest on the Regis and Kelly show on location in the Bahamas. She took Dave along and made a romantic vacation out of it, all for free! Dave sat in the audience durring the show and they talked to him a little- he said some very nice things about Carmen in this clip (11.5MB). Regis was bugging Carmen about wearing a bikini so at the end of the show she came out in one, but with a robe over it. She acted really shy about showing her body which was out of character for her!

02/14/02 Love Rocks

01/22/02 Best of the Worst of Dismissed

Carmen recently hosted yet another MTV show, The Best of the Worst of Dismissed. She sat around the pool, sipping champagne and introducing montages from the dating show, and giving lots of advice on being catty. One of her lines was, "No amount of inner beauty can ever hide an ugly face." Yikes, Carmen!

01/01/02 New Years Bash

Carmen hosted Hollywoods biggest new years bash, Center of the Universe on Hollywood Boulevard. The event drew 20,000 people and took up 7 city blocks with three different stages.
