Carmen Electra is sharing her love for her new pet poodle Bambi Lion Electra.
Electra, 54, gushed all about her pet during a recent interview while she talked about her return to the Scary Movie franchise for the series' reboot, which hit theaters earlier this month. "I'm in a good place, I'm really happy," the actress, singer and model says, calling the dog — whom she launched an Instagram page for in February — "my everything."
"She's so smart and she's so cute and everyone's been so generous," Electra says. "They're sending her Gucci outfits, Louis Vuitton bags, so she's got a better wardrobe than I do at this point. I named her Bambi and her middle name is Lion because she's a Leo. So she's Bambi Lion Electra and she has her own IG page."
Electra appeared to debut Bambi on her own Instagram page in a video she shared in April, where she showed off matching outfits that the clothing brand I Am Gia sent her. She first posted from Bambi's own account on Feb. 21 and shared a video showing the "first moment" Electra met the dog on March 11. Since then, Electra has shared multiple videos of her unboxing clothing for Bambi and an adorable photo the tiny poodle sleeping inside a handbag.
"It's just cute and I'm already going to get another one," she says of her love for her pet. "I'm obsessed. So I think pretty soon I'll have a poodle posse. I want one in every color. I love poodles. She's so sweet. She doesn't bark. She hardly ever barks. She sleeps throughout the night. She's such a good girl."

Electra returned to the big screen for a full-circle moment to appear in Scary Movie, the sequel-reboot of the popular horror spoof franchise from the brothers Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans. Electra originally appeared in the franchise's first film in 2000 for a scene inspired by Drew Barrymore's opening scene in the first Scream movie.

“I was just over the moon to get that call to be in this one again,” Electra says. She says working with the Wayans siblings, who also returned to the franchise for the first time since Scary Movie 2, “has been such an honor and so much fun. [I'm] just so happy for this moment to be in this movie with everyone again.”

During the interview, Electra teased an "in the works" documentary and book about her life on top of her most recent acting appearances and noted she has "gone through so many highs and lows" during her 30-plus -year career in Hollywood. “I'm the happiest when I'm working and I'm in a really good solid relationship," she says. "That's, to me, the ultimate joy that I could ever have and a lot of fun."
Scary Movie is in theaters now.
