I remember folks expressing the same degree of surprise with regards to Liberace.



Many people actually thought he dressed this way just to get women.

With Chamberlain, the fact that he was a sort of TV version of a "matinee idol" due to his romantic leading man roles in mini-series (such as 'The Thornbirds' and 'Shogun', etc.) made the shock of my friends even greater. It is rather surprising how really very little of the 'secret lives' of celebrities actually becomes known even in the age of TMZ and YouTube. In a parallel of the starlet being ordered to be seen with an established male star in order to futher her career, some gay or bi-sexual male stars were ordered to be seen publicly with very attractive women in order to reinforce their public image of "manliness". There are quite a few Playboy Playmates and models who are seen with men who might actually rather be seen with a centerfold from 'Playgirl'...

In regard to Arnold's 'baby-mama', does anyone else think she bears a bit of a resemblance to the 'OctMom'?
