They Paid For Sex? 25 Shocking Celebrity Prostitution Scandals1. Hugh GrantEnglish actor Hugh Grant was caught with his pants down – literally – in 1995 after Los Angeles police arrested him for engaging in oral sex with prostitute Divine Brown. The star was in a relationship with actress Elizabeth Hurley at the time. He was fined $1,180 and placed on two years probation. Where do we begin? In addition to admitting to paying Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss for call girls at least 27 times, Charlie Sheen also says he lost his virginity to a prostitute when he was just 15, paying for the service with his dad Martin Sheen’s credit card. He once explained his love of hookers saying: “I don’t pay them for sex. I pay them to leave.” Married and with a series of mistresses on speed dial, Tiger Woods also allegedly paid for sex, claims a Hollywood madam. In 2009, Michelle Braun told the New York Post the golfing champ allegedly paid her $60,000 in exchange for at least four escorts, whom he reportedly saw a total of “six times.”
4. Eliot Spitzer
Until he was busted in 2008 Eliot Spitzer lived a double life – as New York Governor and Client-9, one of the patrons of the Emperors Club VIP, a high-end prostitution ring. The disgraced politician allegedly paid thousands of dollars to have sex with an escort named “Kristen” who was later identified as Ashley Dupre.

Jerry Springer’s encounter with a prostitute sounds like one of those outrageous stories featured on his talk show. In 1974, the then 30-year-old Cincinnati city councilman, resigned from office after admitting to hiring a prostitute. If he hadn’t paid for the service with a personal check, he may have never been found out.
