Following the release of her new movie, I Love Candy, rumours have surfaced that Carmen Electra is having a lesbian love affair.

Recently divorced Electra split from husband Dave Navarro last year, is set to perform with her burlesque troupe The Bombshell Babes at the Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs, California at the end of the month.

The event is the highlight of the calendar on the US lesbian scene - and rumours persist she’ll use the four-day festival to announce her romance with rocker Joan Jett.

Rumors about the pair’s romance surfaced when Electra was cast for the part she revealed that she had a lifelong crush on the Jet singer.She said:

“Remember that video where she comes out with a trench coat on and she opens up the trench coat and she’s wearing a bikini and then she’s rocking out with a guitar?”

“She’s hot.”

In November last year, rumours circulated that the pair were seen kissing and “groping” backstage at a Jett gig in Los Angeles.

I still think Carmen is HOTTTT .. … In consolation for the fact that Carmen is a lesbian now, I would need 3 hours of un-edited love-making between Carmen and Joan
