People tend to either love him or hate him, but Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens) is 70! His character is kind of a man-child, a pre-teen boy in a man’s body who dresses in a suit several sizes too small and wears white shoes and a red bow tie. Pee-week’s Playhouse was a popular show for several years in the mid-to late-1980’s on American television, featuring twisted characters inspired by children’s show stereotypes like Captain Carl (a sea captain), Cowboy Curtis, The King of Cartoons, and Miss Ivonne, the Most Beautiful Woman in Puppetland. The character of Pee-wee was also featured in several movies and a stage show…

Cowboy Curtis? You must be kidding? John Wayne, Randolph Scott, Jimmy Stewart, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, Hope Along Cassidy and the Cisco Kid and his pal, Puncho would all turn over in their graves.

Cowboy Curtis looks like some new breed of "Rainbow" cowboy; if you catch my drift? He seems to be all dressed up for the "Pride" Parade.
 
Well, he has his problems - that involve indecency & child molesting:
And he looks quite different in his mugshot.

I remember this. Not such a good role model for the kiddies! I hope none of them got wind of it. It's traumatic enough for them to find out Santa Claus is not real !

He was never charged with child molestation, or even accused of it. He was detained at an adult movie theater, and so were two other guys. He was arrested, pleaded guilty at his hearing, got 18 months probation and paid a fine. period

Or, at least that's how it went in a regular court of justice. In the court of public opinion, he was tortured, crucified, and hung by the balls, his career ruined. But he made a successful comeback because not everyone believed the BS.

A day after Los Angeles police arrested actor Jeffrey Jones on child-porn charges, his pal Paul Reubens, a.k.a. Pee-Wee Herman, turned himself in on a related charge of possessing child pornography, the Los Angeles Times reports. Reubens, 50, surrendered Friday at the West Hollywood Division station on a misdemeanor charge of possessing materials depicting children under the age of 18 engaged in sexual conduct, and was subsequently released on $20,000 bail.

Yeah, the adult movie theater thing resulted in him being stalked by rag-sheet "journalists", publicity-seeking cops, and phony lawsuits.

While we're on discussing the dirty side of celebrities public personalities, remember the shamwow guy? Vince Shlomi, familiar to most as the TV pitchman for the handy household dodads the ShamWow and Slap Chop...got into an physical altercation with a prostitute, and judging from his booking photo- apparently lost:

3 cheers for the postitute! Looks like this guy got what he deserved. LOL
 
In addition to his best-known role as Pee-wee, Paul Reubens made an appearance as a waiter in The Blues Brothers, “The Spleen” in Mystery Men, and has played the father of Batman villain The Penguin (below). He is scarcely recognizable in some of these roles…
