Royal scandals, Hollywood scandals, political scandals, and rock 'n' roll scandals.

Part of a series of books which examines real-life stories that have made newspaper headlines around the world, this looks at scandals.

Sex scandals, some historical but many contemporary, involving political figures, celebrities, movie stars, sports stars, musicians and artists, from Julius Caesar's affair with Cleopatra, which scandalized Rome and may have contributed to his murder, to what exactly IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn did or didn't get up to in that New York hotel room. England's Edward II was put to death by having a red-hot poker shoved up 'those parts in which he had been wont to make his vicious pleasures' and James Dean was known as 'the human ashtray' for the pleasure he took in having cigarettes stubbed out on his body, but from Silvio Berlusconi to Tiger Woods, many have been more focused on pleasure than pain. Even Barack Obama gets a look in - did he have an affair with Vera Baker?

What happens when your favourite star suddenly becomes famous for all the wrong reasons? Sex is big news. It's even bigger when it involves a scandal and someone who is well known and in the public eye. Over the years we have been treated to some truly eye-watering stories about people who we have looked up to, admired and adored, just to have our image of them shattered forever by some lurid details of behaviour that is far beneath what is expected. In this book, The Biggest Sex Scandals that Shook the World, we examine some of the principal names in sport, politics, religion and the movie industry, what they did and why it shocked us so badly, including well known individuals like: Tiger Woods Bill Cosby Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky Heidi Klum Kris Jenner John Terry Mike Tyson And many more... The world of fame and scandal is often closely linked and in each of these stories, selected at the author's own discretion, you will find intrigue like never before, with some of the world's best-known celebrities and stars. It is a mind boggling look into the lives behind the fame and how easy it is for a star to crash to earth in a blaze of unwanted publicity!
