Former Baywatch babe Carmen Electra is more used to locking lips with Hollywood hunks, but the animal-lover seemed equally enthused about a close-up encounter with a sea lion on Wednesday. The wet-suited star, who was on location in the West Edmonton Mall for her latest movie Christmas In Wonderland, leaned in for a kiss with her new friend at the Sea Lion Rock aquarium inside the world's largest entertainment and shopping centre.
During another scene at the mall, onlookers could have been forgiven for thinking Christmas had come early when they saw the manufactured snow and decorated trees which formed the backdrop for Carmen and her co-star Chris, who were clearly having a blast playing holiday crooks in disguise. The film, set to be released in December, tells the story of a family's adventurous move from LA to Canada, discovering counterfeit cash and secrets about Santa along the way.
While the Christmas caper - directed by Canadian filmmaker James Orr - began shooting on April 29, the 35-year-old stunner has only just jetted into the northern Alberta city to join her fellow cast members, who include funnyman Chris Kattan and Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze.
