Little white ones. Big black whoppers. In between gray omissions or half truths. Everybody lies at one time or other, and most of us do so repeatedly. Heck, it’s even a requirement for some jobs (politicians, actors, used car salesmen, etc.). There’s no shame in it, or maybe there is.
But when you’re in the public eye different rules apply. It’s not that you can’t lie. It’s just that your lies are expected to be of a better quality. Take Tony Parker and Eva Longoria. The basketball stud and his desperate housewife are ending their marriage. No big deal, especially for celebs. But the couple looked downright silly when news broke of their ending nuptials and they vehemently denied it and then, just hours later, they fessed up. They learned a hard lesson–worse than being branded a liar, is being branded a bad liar.

Alabama. The fact that he won a national championship last year with the
Crimson Tide only adds to the vitriol Miamians have for Nick Satan! It
was so bad it inspired the song and video compilation below .
