Our top of entertainers' sex scandals

Paula Abdul: alleged to have engaged in a sexual encounter with American Idol contestant Corey Clark while serving as a judge for the talent competition in 2005. Abdul denied any affair. In August of 2005 Fox announced that a thorough outside investigation had cleared Abdul of all charges levied by Clark.

Fatty Arbuckle: tried three times for the violent rape and death of Virginia Rappe in 1921. Though acquitted of the charge, Arbuckle's career never revived. This case and several other sex scandals led to a self-imposed production code by the studios and strict contractual demands by the studios on actors' private lives.

Woody Allen: In 1992 he left his long-term partner Mia Farrow after she discovered his secret affair with her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. Farrow accused him of being a pedophile (Previn is 35 years his junior) and of abusing their seven-year-old daughter Dylan.

Hugh Grant: hired a prostitute and was subsequently arrested by Los Angeles police. This scandal is best known in the US as a turning point in the then flaming Late Night wars when Hugh helped Jay Leno's cause by appearing on the Tonight Show first.

Ty Herndon: Country music singer arrested in a Fort Worth, Texas park for allegedly soliciting an undercover male police officer for sex.

Michael Jackson: alleged to have engaged in sexual activities with a teenage boy in 1993 (a civil complaint that was settled out of court), and again with another one in 2003 (a felony complaint); in the latter case Jackson was arrested and released on bail. Jackson claims that there were never sexual activities, and defends nonsexual sleepovers as harmless. Jackson was acquitted of all charges in 2005.

George Michael: arrested in 1998 for "engaging in a lewd act" in a public restroom in a Beverly Hills city park.

Church organist fired for selling sex toys

An organist for a Catholic church was fired for selling sex toys, saying that her side job was not "consistent with Church teachings."

Linette Servais, 50, played the organ and sung with the choir for 35 years. Much of her work as choir director and organist was done without pay. When her parish priest asked to meet with her, she thought it was to say thank you.

Instead, she was told to quit her sales job with company known as Pure Romance or she would lose her position in the church.

Pure Romance in Loveland, Ohio, is a $60 million per year business that sells spa products and sex toys at homes parties attended by women. It has 15,000 consultants like Servais.

She said her decision was not hard: She began working with Pure Romance after a brain tumor and treatment left her sexually dysfunctional. The job allows her to help other women who have similar problems.

But who cares about brain tumor patients who have the audacity to want sexual pleasure?

Servais said that she "feel[s] that Pure Romance is my ministry." the good news is that many choir members have quit in support of her, and some gather at her home on Thursdays to sing hymns.
