If I told you the latest Hollywood sex scandal involved an immensely popular comedian, TV and movie star, you would maybe think Eddie Murphy. Or Kevin James. Maybe Dane Cook.

All wrong. The latest sex scandal subject is the man former President Ronald Reagan once called "the most recognizable man in America"

"“Hope: Entertainer of the Century,’’ a new biography by Richard Zoglin out Tuesday, not only casts doubt on whether Hope was ever legally married to the former Dolores DeFina (who died in 2011 at age 102), but it also chronicles a long list of his rumored sexual dalliances, some of which went on for years.

Zoglin quotes former Hope writer Sherwood Schwartz on Hope’s womanizing in the late 1930s: “We’d go to a hotel, I swear to you, outside his room were three, four, five young, beautiful girls, waiting to be picked by him to come in. . . . He was a star enjoying his stardom.’"

I KNEW that big nose was just hiding lies all those years.
