Wow. She's fugly now. Nice controller, though.

I hope my Wii controller doesn't look like dogs balls

Is that a Killswitch Engage shirt that I see on one of steroid induced fellows in the backround? :O

Don't worry McWhertor, she doesn't know what she is missing by not having you there. Her loss!!!

"yet I've seen not a single e-mail invite from Ms. Electra in my work inbox."

It's times like these when you learn who your REAL friends are... XP

@armchairnixon:
"Wow. She's fugly now."

My thoughts exactly.
What the heck happened to her?? She doesn't even look remotely like I remember her

She's always been ugly.

To each their own, I guess.

@Jordan311: This must be a different Carmen Electra.

Those must be one of the new faceplate designs. They look pretty nifty. Now I'm hope each bundle comes with an extra console specific one.

Sucks, didn't send me an invite either. And we just had tea last week!

Hah, I like that last picture.

Sorry obligatory black guy, you get the hand-me-down GH2 guitar controller that nobody else wants.

And looking at his expression, he's definitely thinking "I am so going to kill you guys for this."

@Jordan311:
"What the heck happened to her?? She doesn't even look remotely like I remember her"

From [www.worth1000.com] to the above. Well, I'd say it's due to age, an unflattering outfit, lack of expert lighting in the pictures, the lack of airbrush and probably the lack of professional makeup artists.

did she just have a kid? looks like she still has some baby weight on her

Not sure what planet you guys are from, but she still looks plenty hot to me.

What are YOU talking about? She looks the same, only got rid of her curly brown hair and dyed it Hannah Montana-style.

She can have Guitar Hero 3. I have a real guitar. And I can play it. Enjoy your peripheral. lol.

@Karlott: I agree, she still looks hot. Sure she has a bad haircut and is wearing an ugly shirt, but she is still very much hot.

I know a girl who got a haircut like that recently, I'm beginning to think it hides the hotness of anyone.

@kotakuspaceship:
I love the "learn to play a real guitar" argument. How about we all go and learn to drive real F1 race cars or learn to shoot real machine guns or learn to be real ninjas or learn to... you get my point.

So fuck off and enjoy your real guitar, and let us play some games.

See, this is why I wish I was a celebrity. They're rich and people just give them stuff.

i spy with my eyes a corded guitar hero 3 controller in tony romos arms...

whats the deal with that??

I really like the green-and-black faceplate, and the demo of this game was sweet. It persuaded my roommate to buy it, so that's good.

She's getting older..

"one-time boner source"? Maybe you should try some of those little blue pills.

@ChickenOfTheSea: I was swayed by the demo too, which really surprised me.

It looks like I'm going GH3 over Rock Band.

@TheBrain76: Those are expensive, and besides, McWherter needs to spend his lootz on climbing gear to scale the wall of Carmen's palatial abode and become "that guy" in the background of her next photograph.

Nice guitars! Honestly she does look allot older. But again there from the world of make believe. Have you seen Britney Spears without make up on? Photoshop can make anyone divine.

The controllers are wired. :(

She herself needs a new faceplate ASAP.

one-time boner source? She STILL is boner inducing. Virginity can do that to a person.

Cowboys 6-1 FTW! Hmm Romo has a hamstring injury...He better not injure it more playing with the fake guitar. Terrence Newman(Black dude in pic) is also injured.

I believe this article calls for one of our resident Kotaku Girls to comment on McWhertor's hot/not-ness

I met her once on movie set, such a beauty

Lol the phrase "one-time boner source" makes me laugh every time i reread it.

Wait a second - why is there a wire coming out of the bottom of her controller? I thought the Les Paul's were wireless. Someone please fill me in :(

I agree shes nothing special. Keira Knightley and Sophie Marceau on the other hand.... totally bitchin'.

Wow! She may not be as attractive as she used to be, but if she can play Guitar Hero while not looking at the screen, then whoo hoo! I'm sold on her! She must be soooo good at games...

she's hot, we're not, next post.

getting a bit long-in-the-tooth.

Actually, since GH III leaked yesterday, I am playing it, thank you very much.

Neversoft really doesn't have Harmonix's touch, and it kind of reeks of "knock-off" unfortunately. The songs are good, but I'll be holding out for Rock Band. I'd say it's definitely not as good as GH 2, and maybe not even as good as GH 1. Remains to be seen as I start clearing the unlockable stuff.

Bad haircut, but she was never hot anyway. Just a poor man's Pamela Anderson. Big synthetic boobs, a toned body, and airbrushing can make just about any woman look Trailer Park Hot.

I've always been surprised by the seeming inability of most other men to differentiate between Hot and TP Hot. I guess enormous tits in a tight swimsuit have a certain raw power that many are overwhelmed by.

I now have the sudden urge to pre-order this game

and i js noticed you can't buy the black 360 headset.. What gives?

Electra clearly has no need for whammy. Sucker.

Poor McWhert. Not invited to the party. Well, join the crowd. I wasn't either, despite being charming and funny and living 3,000 miles away.

Next time.

@chardish: I'm going to have to disagree. Having played all the non-bonus songs through on expert yesterday, I think this is the best GH so far. Yes, it's different, but where it really matters (music, note charts), they hit a home run.

hey, Carmen, 1986 called and it wants its studded "rawk" bracelet back.

Is that "THE" Carmen Electra? Are we sure this isn't someone else named Carmen Electra that has a lot of money? What the hell happened to her face? Putting on a little weight isn't a problem (those women are usually freakishly "I could be in an African poverty commerical" skinny beforehand anyway) but it looks like someone went to town with an ugly bat to her face. Then again, looking at her hands, it's kinda obvious that she's starting to show her age. Hands are always the best indicator of age, from my experience.

Yeah, I know I'm being hypercritical of her outer appearance. Her public persona is that of her outer appearance. A long-run stupid idea, because eventually you'll become shriveled up and no one will want you. You reap what you sow.

Anyway, the new Guitar Hero isn't as great as the other two. It's still good, don't get me wrong. But meh, it just doesn't have that special "it" that the other two had. For one, the new characters are "edgy," whereas the old characters and the old venues were kinda goofy and a parody of the rock genre they represented. I just don't get the feeling that I'm a rock GOD after finishing a tough song like I did in the other two. It feels more like I finished a difficult video game level. It has its body and mind intact, but it's missing its soul.

No grudge match against Dave Navarro?

@elevenoverzero: a round of applause

Did she have surgery to make herself look more Caucasian?

@erlik: You say that as if there is something wrong with Trailer Park Hot.

She's looks like a cross between Pia Zadora and Charo.

I hate to be the one to break the fourth wall

[www.hemmy.net]

But yeah, that's why she looks different, it's a REAL picture.

Hostess Carmen Electra definitely got the party started at a recent Guitar Hero III event. Carmen wasn't the only one testing her musical abilities as she was joined by a few Dallas Cowboy team members, including Tony Romo.

All I saw was "Carmen Electra," "without," and panties. Then I realized that panties was actually parties. Whatever.
