Mad Men: 'Chevy Is Spelled Wrong!'
Who Should Play Christian & Anastasia In 'Fifty Shades Of Grey'?
Paul Reubens, of Pee-wee Herman fame, went from being one of the most respected and admired stars of children's TV and film to "that weirdo who got caught allegedly masturbating in a porn theater" overnight in 1991. Scandal slammed Reubens again in 2001 when his Hollywood home was raided on a false tip, resulting in three years battling child pornography charges which were eventually reduced to a misdemeanor obscenity offense.In an in-depth interview with Playboy, the 58-year-old actor defends himself, states how he could have proven in court the masturbation arrest was an error, and describes himself as "more infamous for two misdemeanors" that perhaps any cult hero in Hollywood history.
Reporter Bill Zehme writes of the interview, "Paul Reubens told me repeatedly, as we dug through emotional crevices unimaginable, that he'd never opened himself up this nakedly outside of a shrink's presence." Read on.

Well, it's too bad that Masters and Johnson Institute didn't have me as one of their subjects when they did their masturbation research. I would have blown Pee Wee's case and their research right out of the water. I am right handed, and I have always masturbated with my left!

Pee Wee is a known Republican who needs to clean up his act in order to run as Vice President on Sarahs ticket in 2012.He's expected to bring in the Redneck vote by reminding them of their cousin marrying familys . I wish him well.

Way to go Pee Wee Herman. Always thought you were funny as hell, always will. You are one of the greats. When you got in trouble, I didnt really have an opinion because it didn't matter. Whether or not he did it had no impact on his ability to entertain. Besides, why should somebody be ofended by seeing someone spanking the ham in a porn theater. Surely that is no worse that what is going on up on the screen!
Love you Pee Wee, keep on rollin!!!!!

Screw the allegations; I love Paul Reubens! As PeeWee, as the "boat salesman" in Matilda, as the vampire who wouldn't die in the Buffy movie... He's a wonderful, multi-faceted actor. Too bad the crap took over his life. I hope to GOD he does another PeeWee movie, like I've been hearing rumors about; I would love my son to adore PeeWee as much as I did.

I would just like to sat that people make mistake, and so do law inforcement.Looka t Morieen O'harah She and John Wayne were in lots of pictures and she was a great actress, but she got caught having sex in the belconie of a thearter. She never got arrested. She got thrown out and so did the man that was doing her. You go paul I think you are great and funny.

The pigs are such screw ups. This sort of thing happens all the time. It happens not just in one place but all over the United States. You go Wee Pee.

Even if he was masterbating in a porno thearter who cares, its like being arrested for eating at mcdonalds! People go to a porno thearter to wack off lol. I doubt that anyone that goes to a porno thearter on a regular basis is going to be offened by a guy wacking off

The question is, "why in the world would someone who was respected by a lot of children go to an Adult Theater in the first place when he should have known he would be recognized? What were you doing there Paul? Research for your Pee Wee Herman Show? You never answered that question?
Reply
"We had ready an expert from the Masters and Johnson Institute who was going to testify that in 30 years of research on masturbation the institute had never found one person who masturbated with his or her nondominant hand."
I spank it with both my left and right hands... Im right handed. I guess that blows up that research!

Do you remember the kid that was charged with stabbing his sister to death in Califonia and he said he did it. He did not do it but was grilled and drilled by cops /deprived of legals aide/deprived of having his parents present-and the list goes on and so do the victims of improper police interrogation methods.

I cant believe we pay cops to sit in porn theaters and try to catch a guy masturbating. That seems to me more of a disgrace that my tax paying dollars funded this garbage.
Reply
Yea they probably just got out of the doughnut shop and agreed on a porn flick.
I cant believe this is the same guy that played in *Blow* lol Derk Forill.On another interview he said if he ever ran into the guy that saw him choking the chicken he would knumbchuck em'

Children have been robbed of this awesome talent for many years, for a reason that is, at best, questionable. Whether he did "it" or not, those that make such a rout about it are the true 'nasties.' Shame, Shame, Shame on you, you second-hand (no pun) shameless self-absorbed pervs.
