when times are tough you never really
know what you’d be willing to do for
money and hey if you got it why not
flaunt it it’s nice to be daring at
night it means that I’m not playing it
safe and that I’m willing to try new
things and I’m willing to confront
people what I need to welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10
celebrities that used to be strippers I
did bachelorette parties in my hometown
uh-huh yeah my friends grandma had me
something like that no I couldn’t afford
a cop outfit on my budget for this list
we’re looking at the famous figures who
stripped before they were well known
that means we’ll be excluding
celebrities who continued to make sex
work a part of their career getting
steamy with a steam iron looking sultry
in the bathtub making her number 10
Carmen Electra boss with a face is
gorgeous and a body as flawless as hers
the idea of Carmen Electra being a
stripper seems like male wishful
thinking
however there’s actually some reality to
this daydream and the former Pussycat
Doll dancer happily admits it Elektra
first took to the stage in 1991 at
princes glam slam club in LA
dropping the name she was born with Tara
Lee Patrick and adopting the much saucy
er name we know her by today Electress
comfort with her body likely contributed
to her landing her first real acting job
on Baywatch in a recent move she’s
decided to sell her former skills to the
masses in a series of aerobic exercise
videos and brand of stripper pole kits
bringing her career full circle and up
to three four and down two three for
number nine Mike the situation
Sorrentino alright we go sweet you kind
of expect a guy who’s that into himself
to want to get paid for oh my god girls
everyday yeah having not been pretty
some days no some days yes the situation
is best known for his appearances on
Jersey Shore where he rose to fame by
flaunting his bod so it comes as no
surprise that he got his start by
showing the situation at bachelorette
parties under the alias Vito Dorado he
worked with the exotic dancing group All
American male performing at clubs and
events all over New Jersey so how to get
the best results
GTL baby gym tan laundry because if
everything’s put together and you feel
great you look great boss tonight his
stripping experiences along with all
that GTL were definitely put to good use
when he appeared as a contestant on
season 11 of Dancing with the Stars
number eight Diablo Cody I think I have
a pretty good story to tell and I enjoy
telling those stories and I don’t
apologize for it the oscar-winning
screenwriter Diablo Cody played around
with a few career choices before scoring
big with the screenplay for her
low-budget breakout film Juno why your
shorts are like especially gold today my
mom uses color safe bleach go Carol Cody
played around with various writing based
career avenues before trying out
stripping she signed up for an amateur
night at a strip club on a whim and
enjoyed it so much that she decided to
quit her job to become a full-time
stripper I want to do something totally
unexpected and different and scary
Diablo viewed the whole stripping
experience bar top dancing included as a
form of feminist liberation and would
eventually tell her story in her memoir
candy girl a year in the life of an
unlikely stripper budget I did like it
yeah I would go back to it if you know
the goods weren’t aging mm-hmm if you
see what I’m saying number seven
Courtney Love where’s that
new girl she gets moves don’t you
Courtney Love’s early life is probably
more grungy and hard rock than her
musical style
she grew up being tossed around by
different family members all over the
globe including stints in New Zealand
and Ireland getting expelled from
schools and even arrested for
shoplifting along the way after becoming
emancipated at 16 she started stripping
to support herself and adopted the name
love her anonymity stripping granted
love even more travel opportunities and
saw her working in clubs in Japan and
Taiwan meanwhile working in Los Angeles
clubs Jumbo’s and the seventh veil
earned her as much as $300 a day which
she used to buy a touring van and
musical equipment effectively investing
in her better known career
number six Brad Pitt ladies gentlemen
let’s see wins prize keeping her cool
Brad Pitt has admitted in the past that
he’s not a dancer
but that doesn’t mean he didn’t try
though stripping was never something he
did for money his pre fame jobs did
include refrigerator delivery man and
wearing a chicken suit for El Pollo Loco
working jobs we hate so we can buy shit
we don’t need but before he dropped out
of journalism school hit and his frat
brothers in their group the dancing
bears would put on striptease shows for
sorority girls in celebration of them
turning 21 the girls wouldn’t get the
full experience though since he and his
frat brothers would wear a pillowcase
over their heads while they gyrated
their junk now there’s an image that
lingers
number five Amber Rose one of those
Thank You amber stripping days are
widely believed to be one of the things
that made her famous in the first place
with a body as devastatingly sexy as
hers it’s really no wonder that her
skills on the pole got her noticed by
some very well-connected people it was
her style and the skills she honed that
helped her get a leading role in the
2008 Ludacris video for what them girls
like the girls are the world ain’t
nothing but trouble this appearance is
in turn what got her noticed by Kanye
West and the pair quickly became a
high-profile item even after the couple
split amber managed to keep the flames
of fame burning by capitalizing on her
impeccable style and explosive social
media presence clap if you would rather
Kim clap if you would rather amber
number four Catherine zeta-jones
oh you mean you have trouble with
commitment well my boyfriend thinks so
my girlfriend doesn’t trying to catch a
break in Hollywood can be tough
especially if you don’t have the right
look but who has a look better than
Catherine zeta-jones yet she somehow had
trouble getting her footing in the LA
acting scene and decided that the one
thing she needed to push her ahead of
the game was a nose job with that in
mind
Catherine turned to stripping to raise
money for the operation the plan worked
as she quit the pole and quickly found
success in the industry soon after her
surgery number three Chris Pratt I when
I was a kid I was in a small town I was
a stripper for a little while for a
little while Chris Pratt had a hard time
finding work in a small town in
Minnesota and has said he quote loves to
be naked so naturally he turned to
stripping at the fresh young age of 18
keep in mind that this was before his
guardians of the galaxy body so Pratt
wasn’t quite as successful as you might
expect did you pass me my age stick of
course Pratt only stripped a handful of
times claiming he was limited by his
lack of dancing skills but nonetheless
he made $40 on one occasion I’m just
like slowly awkwardly dance and then
take go down to my shorts and they’ll be
like no after his stripping stint he
developed a transient lifestyle living
out of the back of his van and picking
up odd jobs around the u.s. before he
was discovered by a producer in Hawaii
how what kind of a diet doesn’t allow
tequila all of them actually
number two Lady gaga you know that Lady
gaga
I mean she can really sing I mean if she
just took all those clothes off and she
just sang she would be great
you wouldn’t think of Lady Gaga as the
type of person to grow up in a
conservative family considering her act
but it was clear from a young age that
she wanted to break away from her
background when she moved out and
started stripping at 18
her family hated it but this helped Gaga
learn independence and develop her
avant-garde bad girl style but that kind
of wild freedom comes at a cost
Gaga allegedly got into some pretty hard
drugs around this time leaving her with
a dark past that was a challenge to
overcome
play before we get to our top pick here
are some honorable mentions Kelly Ripa’s
sexy husband was a scandalous stripper
back in the day and now we know she’ll
never have to pay for another lap dance
again I made a ton of money like I just
I couldn’t I just and I couldn’t stop
made everyday by the stomach did you
spank any way that I do this number one
Channing Tatum
as we’ve learned getting your start in
LA can take years and it’s also a city
that can bleed you dry but by the looks
of Channing Tatum he had no trouble
getting by before the fame I went into
this world and experienced all these
crazy characters and all this crazy
world of people and I just needed to
need to sort of bring it to the bringing
to the main stage Channing danced along
side then roommate and now reality star
Jax Taylor as they fought to break into
the big time
surprisingly though the job wasn’t as
lucrative as it could have been on a bad
night he’d make around 50 bucks what I’m
gonna show show us
maybe it had something to do with his
bottle blonde hair or his stripper name
Shan Crawford
we’re guessing this helped him for his
role in Magic Mike though
do you agree with our list I’m not my
goddamn job that’s not who it’s not what
I that’s not what I do that’s I mean is
this what I do but it’s not who I am
what other role model may there start
rolling their model body around a pole
it’s okay
I have craps for more hot and heavy top
10s published every day be sure to
subscribe to watchmojo.com there just
been a turnover but we said 40 here you
go there you go it was so it’s not like
didn’t it was not sexy yes didn’t last
that long
No
know what you’d be willing to do for
money and hey if you got it why not
flaunt it it’s nice to be daring at
night it means that I’m not playing it
safe and that I’m willing to try new
