Gennifer Flowers
Gennifer had a twelve-year affair with Bill Clinton. She cashed in by publishing her memoir Gennifer Flowers: Passion and Betrayal in 1995. She posed nude for Penthouse magazine and has acted in two films. She has also appeared in several television shows. Before Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, she was performing a lounge act at the Kelsto Club, an establishment she owned at the time. She now lives in Las Vegas and occasionally writes a column for Vegas Community Online called, "Ask Gennifer with a G." Her most recent moves include trying to sell the infamous answering machine tapes of her conversations with Bill Clinton. The rumored auction cost was $5 million.
Donna RiceDonna is the aspiring model and actress who was romantically linked with former Senator and ex-presidential candidate Gary Hart. She initially cashed in on her fame and endorsed a denim line called No Excuses. She later became a born-again Christian and an anti-pornography activist. She is currently the president of Eight Is Enough, an activist group that helps victims and shields children from porn on the Internet and the author of Kids Online: Protecting Your Children in Cyberspace. She may have lost her job as a pharmaceutical rep back when the scandal surfaced, but the media frenzy surrounding her kept her pocketbook full.
They shed their tears, sold their stories, and turned their fifteen minutes into fame, money, celebrity, and careers while we spent our evenings laughing at their whacked-out stories, buying their books, and waiting for the next scandal on CNN. It appears even the political sex scandal is evolving. I expect we may have more men involved and not just women. On that note, women are said to be more prone to cheat and I must say we have more women in office then ever before. If the tables were turned, will we celebrate the man involved with the same fame and money as we do the women?
