Dennis Rodman Marries Carmen Electra???
Rodman and Electra tie the intoxicated knot
A Basketball bad boy Dennis Rodman tied the knot
with busty ex-"Baywatch" babe Carmen Electra in
Las Vegas over the weekend - but the hoopster's
agent said the surprise nuptials were way out of
bounds.

"From what I can determine, it's not legal. It
sounds like he was deeply intoxicated," said the
agent, Dwight Manley.

"Obviously, anyone that would marry somebody
that was intoxicated to the point that they couldn't
speak or stand had ulterior motives of some sort."

But Cindy Guagenti, Electra's spokeswoman, said
that Manley's statements were "inaccurate and
untrue."

She added, "The couple plans to release a joint
statement" today. She gave no further details.

The quirky, heavily tattooed Chicago Bull star and
the Playboy pinup - who have been dating since
the spring - took their vows early Saturday morning
at the Little Chapel of the Flowers on the Vegas
Strip.

The bride wore a fetching, dark-colored pants suit,
and the groom - known for his outrageous fashion
sense - wore a costume that one witness said
looked like a police uniform.

Bodyguards searched the quickie wedding mill for
hidden cameras and the chapel staff was sworn to
secrecy.

But Manley insisted that Electra and others he
called "leeches" got Rodman drunk and took
advantage of him.

Cheryl Vernon, supervisor of the Clark County
Marriage License Bureau, said, "We don't issue a
license if they're intoxicated, no matter who they
are."

The marriage has not yet been recorded with
county officials. The minister who performed the
ceremony has 10 days to submit the license to the
recorder's office, Vernon said.

It was the second time down the aisle for
37-year-old Rodman - nicknamed The Worm -
who married model Annie Banks in 1993.

The marriage lasted just three months, but the
couple had a daughter, Alexis.

Other women in Rodman's past include Madonna
and Scores topless dancer Stacey Yarborough.

Electra, 26, jumped this month from "Baywatch" to
a rival beach show, "Hyperion Bay" on the WB
network, one of the lowest-rated shows on
television.

On her new show, she'll play Sarah Hicks, the
daughter of a computer mogul, who sparks
romance and plenty of bad-girl intrigue.

Electra made People magazine's list of
worst-dressed celebs this year - but readers of
Playboy might say, "Who cares?"

The buxom beauty posed in the buff for the skin
mag in March 1996 and starred in the video
"Playboy Cheerleaders."

Electra started in showbiz as a singer on the Artist
Formerly Known as Prince's Paisley Park
Records label - but she was a flop.

Her career finally took off when she bared all in
Playboy.

Asked this summer what she likes about her
then-hubby-to-be, Electra said: "He has a nice
butt."

The wacky wedding is the latest bizarre antic
pulled by the renegade, sometimes rainbow-haired
Rodman.

The superstud superstar courts trouble both in his
professional and personal life, whether it's
enraging ex-gal pal Madonna by publicizing
tantalizing tidbits of their most intimate moments,
or taunting basketball rivals to the point of fist
fights.

His bad-boy ways and wild-man look - complete
with nose ring, body tattoos and frequent public
cross-dressing - have paid off for him in some
ways.

His 1996 book, "Bad as I Wanna Be," garnered
plenty of publicity off court and helped him land a
role in Jean Claude Van Damme's movie "Double
Team."

But the wild streak also has prompted lawsuits.

Most recently, Rodman was slapped with a
sexual-harassment suit by a cocktail waitress.

Rodman was sued last June by a woman who
said he sexually assaulted her in April at the Las
Vegas Hilton.

In the same week, a Mirage casino craps dealer
also sued Rodman, claiming he humiliated him by
rubbing his bald head, stomach and groin with the
dice before rolling them.

All of this comes amid Rodman's on-court antics,
which frequently sideline him.

One dispute led to a $200,000 out-of-court penalty
Rodman was forced to pay for kicking a courtside
cameraman.

Another led to the third-longest suspension in
league history. In addition to the suspension,
Rodman was fined the maximum $20,000 for
head-butting a referee in March 1996.
