Carmen talked with ET about the Baywatch reunion. "I never
had a custom swimsuit made for me," she said. "I always
wore someone else's. I remember looking at the tag one time
and Pam's name was in it. Another time it was Yasmine's, and
once it was Gena Lee Nolan's. None of them ever fit right. I
didn't get my own suit until my last episode." Read more

Yasmine Bleeth chronicles her cocaine addiction in the February
issue of Glamour, which arrives on newsstands Tuesday. At first,
in 1998, cocaine was a social thing, says Bleeth, 34. Then she
realized she could call a dealer and have it delivered to her
home, "like ordering Chinese food." Bleeth stopped
seeing friends. She often had bloody noses. "And if I was
sniffling, my publicist would tell people I had sinus problems,
which I do." By the end of 1999, she "looked like
an alien," she says. Normally a size 6, she was down to
size 0. Read more.

Yasmine Bleeth after her drug troubles when the two filmed the

you."

Former Baywatch babe Yasmine Bleeth has wed her boyfriend Paul
Cerrito in a secret ceremony in Santa Barbara, California. Only
close friends and family were invited to the ceremony on Sunday.
Cerrito was with Bleeth when she was arrested last September
for cocaine possession. Bleeth pleaded guilty to the charge
and was sentenced to two years probation. She must also submit
to regular drug tests. The couple met while they were both in
Malibu, California, rehab clinic Promises.

After Yasmine Bleeth was formally charged November 16 with cocaine
possession, cops in Romulus, Michigan finally gave TSG their
reports on the actress's bust, as well as her mug shot--and
they don't paint a pretty picture. Bleeth, 33, and Paul Cerrito
(who met in drug rehab) were arrested September 12, following
a one-car accident (Bleeth piloted her rented Chrysler into
a highway median). According to the first three-page report
presented here, the actress told cops she was "under the
influence of cocaine" and had stashed the drug in her Louis
Vuitton purse. The second investigator's report details what
police found in Bleeth's hotel suite when they executed a search
warrant the following afternoon. The former "Baywatch"
star has pleaded not guilty to the drug charges and is free
on a $10,000 personal bond.
