Arnold Schwarzenegger
Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver separated but once it was revealed why the couple split, it rocked the
tabloids.
Turns out Schwarzenegger fathered a child more than 10 years ago with his former housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena.
Baena, now 50, worked for the former California governor and his wife Maria Shriver for over 20 years before retiring in January, 2011. Soon after, Shriver learned of the affair and love child and she quickly moved out of their Brentwood, California mansion.
It was soon revealed that Schwarzenegger learned that he was the father of the boy when the boy was a toddler. Since then, Schwarzenegger has been secretly contributing financially to the boy’s upbringing.
Schwarzenegger told The L.A. Times, “After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago. I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family.
There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.”
Ashton Kutcher
This past year, Ashton Kutcher has been busy denying rumors of cheating on wife Demi Moore. Moore, on the other hand, has been busy trying to keep Kutcher by posting revealing photos of herself online.
First, Star magazine reported that an eyewitness saw Ashton “kissing and groping a hot young blonde by an out-of-the-way bathroom at Italian restaurant Madeo in L.A.”
Ashton’s rep denied the story, and then soon after, Demi tweeted pictures of herself in a string bikini.
Then, the Star claimed Kutcher cheated on Moore with a 21-year-old brunette he met at a bowling alley. Brittney Jones claimed she hooked up with Kutcher in 2010 after meeting him at a bowling alley, but didn’t know Kutcher was married.
Ashton’s lawyer released a statement insinuating her story was a lie, but did not entirely deny it either.
But it was the last straw for Moore when 23-year-old Sara Leal revealed herself as Kutcher’s alleged mistress, claiming that they had unprotected sex in the actor’s Hard Rock hotel suite in San Diego.
Leal and Kutcher allegedly spent the night together at a hotel in San Diego on the night of the actor’s six wedding anniversary to Moore.
Leal later sold her story to a celebrity magazine. Kutcher didn’t deny the rumor either.
Finally, Moore filed for divorce. Now Kutcher can go and be with younger women without having to worry about getting caught ever again.
Lindsay Lohan
It’s always shocking with a young Hollywood starlet spirals out of control and ends up in trouble with the law.
Lohan was sentenced to four months in jail after she pleaded no contest to stealing a $2,500 necklace, but she became eligible for house arrest.
The actress was fitted with an electronic ankle bracelet and all. Lohan is also serving 480 hours of community service, mostly at a downtown women’s shelter.
All this after Lohan stayed at Betty Ford for rehab, where she managed to also get herself into trouble with a Betty Ford employee. She also failed a random alcohol test after she left rehab.
Let’s hope 2012 is a better year for Lohan and she can begin to get her life back on track.
What do you think was the most shocking celebrity scandal of 2011?

I was most shocked by Arnie.
That he would do that — and do that to his family — and keep the housekeeper/mistress/baby-mamma in the house — blows my mind.
The height of hubris.
Makes me glad I’m poor, powerless and boring. : D
