Ellen has the hots for Carmen Electra. Ellen has been shacking up with blonde love Portia diRossi for the past three years, but the popular talk show hostess was recently caught making eyes at the former Baywatch babe.

The Emmy-winner “couldn’t keep her her eyes off Carmen,” an insider gushes to Star Magazine.

The Star mole is referring to Carmen’s striptease demonstration appearance on Ellen’s show.

Once the cameras stopped rolling, Ellen tried to put the moves on Dave Navarro’s ex.

After the taping, Ellen “turned on the charm and really tried to impress Carmen.”

“It was like watching a schoolboy flirt with the substitute teacher-it was sweet.”
