Men don't always get the best rap, which is because some of them are downright dirty cheaters. Not all of them of course, but there are many out there who have no problem catting around and lying to their wife. Male celebs seem to be in the news constantly for their scandalous affairs and love children.

Which, how stupid can they be? Not only do cheaters almost always get caught; but don't the celebrity cheaters realize it won't be kept private if they get busted? That it will be all over the world?! And all it takes is one person to tell another before it is in the news and his significant other is packing her things and out the door.

Cheating can bring on these things called consequences, and sometimes the consequence is having a child with a side piece. Which is more than likely not what the cheater was wanting when he stepped outside of his relationship.

Celebrity men cheating has become a joke, all they have to say is they're an addict and go to rehab. The somehow it all goes away and they will be forgiven by their wives, baby mamas, and their fans. Or so it seems.
