The 8 Jobs Most Conducive to Infidelity

The tragic killing of "good guy" Steve McNair by his jealous 20-year-old mistress has highlighted what most of us have always suspected: Just about every professional athlete cheats on his wife. In fact, a poll by CNN revealed that between 80 and 90 percent of married pro jocks aren't faithful.

Although that sounds about right, we are bit baffled as to how CNN conducted a survey on such a sensitive topic, and when we tried to find similar scientifically backed numbers for other professions, they -- not surprisingly -- didn't exist.

So to determine what other occupations are most likely to be made up of adulterers, we considered a combination of factors, such as opportunity and the personality type the job attracts. And before you start yelling about how faithful you or your husband is, we are well aware that there are plenty of folks in these professions who don't stray. (Or so they say.)

Rock Stars

Obviously it is far from a typical job, but we may as well get it out of the way. If 80 to 90 percent of athletes are unfaithful to their wives, only legendary ballplayer and unconventional mathematician Yogi Berra could properly calculate the percentage of rock stars who cheat.

Outside Sales

Opportunity is to infidelity as location is to real estate. And there is no job which engenders more virtually risk-free cheating opportunities than that of a sales representative who travels. Even more so if he's working with a loosely audited expense account -- which gives any potential hotel bar Casanova an infidelity slush fund that his wife will never see.

Politicians

Not only is power the ultimate aphrodisiac, but the same charisma and self-centeredness that makes for a good politician would also make it a lot easier to step out on the wife. The frightening part is that our leaders have this tendency to cheat even though they work in just about the only profession in which infidelity can result in job loss.

Chefs

An all-powerful alpha male who directs younger, often single females around in a highly charged, informal environment that runs late into the night? Now that's a recipe for infidelity.

Any man in uniform

Chicks dig a man in uniform, and men in uniform -- whether they be cops or the UPS guy -- tend to have jobs that allow them to interact with lots of different, completely random, tempting women. Hell, even the innocuous-sounding milk man was known for getting frisky with housewives back in the day. For whatever reason, this doesn't seem to apply to postal-service workers.

Male Schoolteachers

Education is such a female-dominated profession that lonely lady teachers are often forced to turn to their underage charges when in need of loving. So it stands to reason that any male of legal age with access to the teacher's lounge would have much more opportunity to end up with strange hands down his pants than the guy who works at the plant would.

Pilots

They have the uniform, they have the opportunity, and pilots also have a dedicated, largely female staff who actually call him "captain." Granted there were even more mile-high high jinks going on a few decades ago -- before they stopped hiring flight attendants just on looks, and started considering fun-killing competence.

Viral Wedding Video: The Divorce Version!

We all remember the viral wedding video seen 'round the world. We even asked you if you thought it was cute or corny.

Well, we all knew it was coming: Jill & Kevin: The Divorce Version.

Called "Jill and Kevin's Last Day," the parody features a divorce boogie down the courtroom aisle. It's really, really good. And it should be, given that the parody involved Indigo Productions, a professional audio & lighting production company, and was performed by Broadway actors.

Exes Three-Way-Smackdown Three-Timing Man


Beware a scorned woman. Or in this case, three scorned women.

So goes this classic tale: Married dude courts three ladies. Ladies find out. Ladies lure dude into hotel room with promise of massage. Once inside, ladies glue dude's private parts with Krazy Glue. (Inspired by that old Sean Young-James Woods urban legend, perhaps?)

Krazy indeed! The three women, who intricately planned the hotel beatdown, also physically attacked the three-timer and demanded to know which woman he loved most. They finally relented and took off after the guy started screaming for help -- but only after taking off with his cell phone, wallet and car. Whoa.

To end this story on a somewhat-cheerful note (depending on your sympathies), the dude and his penis suffered minor injuries, but are recovering steadily. Personally, we're also feeling way better, mostly because the worst thing we've ever done to an ex is tell his friends he cries after sex.  I think he should be glad that they didn't choose to do a Lorena Bobbitt on him!

Eminem Threatens to Leak Nude Photos of Mariah Carey


Rapper Eminem claims he has nude photos of pop queen Mariah Carey – and he’s threatening to leak them.

The rapper and the diva have been engaged in a war of words for some time now, years after their brief rumored romance back in 2001. But in a new song called “The Warning,” Eminem spills very intimate details of the alleged relationship and threatens to expose additional pictures and voice mail messages if she and husband Nick Cannondon’t back off.

The song was a response to Carey’s song and video “Obsessed,” in which she dresses up as a man who appears to be Eminem. The songbird calls the rapper “delusional” for insinuating that the two slept together on his track “Bagpipes for Baghdad.” In the video for “Obsessed,” the Eminem look-a-like eventually gets hit by a bus while trying to snap a picture of Carey.

Kevin Federline Filming Reality Show Pilot in Las Vegas


Kevin Federline is moving forward with his plans to star in a new reality show.

Four years after Chaotic, his first short-lived reality series with ex-wife Britney Spears, the former backup dancer is shooting a pilot for VH1 in Las Vegas.

Although the series hasn't been picked up, the source says the network will decide if they want to produce it once they see his first episode.

What did Federline film? After shooting scenes at the Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Thursday, a camera crew filmed the 31-year-old partying at nightclub Wasted Space with his current girlfriend, Victoria Prince and a group of 15 friends until 3 a.m.

The show will reportedly center around Federline's life as a full-time dad. (He has two sons -- Jayden James, 2, and Sean Preston, 4 -- with Spears, and he has two children with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson.)

According to reports, the series might also include Prince. Let's hope that Prince doesn't go there and perhaps that this is just a cameo taped a Vegas show he might have been performing at. Kevin Federline's 15 min's of fame have long past and why should be give this low life any kind of show is a mystery to me. What is he going to tell us that we don't already know? He's a freeloading baby-making jerk. Who loves em' (those with $$) and then leaves them to manage his brood.

Roseanne Barr Poses as Adolf Hitler in Shocking Photo Spread


Comedian Roseanne Barr has seriously pushed the bar with a new photo spread that depicts her as a domesticated version of Adolf Hitler for Jewish humor magazine Heeb.

At her request, Heeb photographed Barr wearing the infamous Hitler moustache and a swastika, holding and preparing to take a bite of what the article refers to as “burnt Jew cookies.”

The shocking photos and interview are the first time the comedian has been seen after a “self-imposed” exile.

The article describes Barr – who is Jewish – as nailing the “Fuehrer’s facial expressions with twisted glee.”

Later, the 55-year-old actress put the “swastika armband, one of the gingerbread victims and a Polaroid of herself in the costume in a Ziploc bag, making it look like evidence from some bizarre crime scene.”

Barr told the magazine she planned to bring the twisted souvenirs to her 13-year-old son when she picked him up from school.

“Maybe this will make my kid like me,” she said.

Barr is best known for her self-titled series on ABC “Roseanne,” which ran from 1988 to 1997. She briefly hosted her own talk show, “The Roseanne Show” before debuting a cooking program entitled “Domestic Goddess.” Most recently, she co-hosted a one hour show on KPFK, Pacifica Radio.

Ridley Scott to direct 'Alien' prequel


Acclaimed director Ridley Scott is returning to his roots in science fiction. Variety is reporting that Scott (Gladiator, Blade Runner) has signed up to lens the long-awaited prequel to his classic 1979 fright flick Alien, a coup that is being touted by 20th Century Fox as part of its big budget reboot of the groundbreaking horror franchise. The plot of the new film will precede the events of the original film, in which the space crew of a commerical towing ship is overcome by a parasitic species of murderous alien creatures.  

I'm all for it.  Can we bring back Sigourney Weaver in some capacity because that would be so COOL!
