2011 was chock full of showbiz scandals. Here are just a few of the top stories:<br/> Arnold Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he fathered a child out of wedlock - 13 years ago - to a maid that worked for him and his wife, Maria Shriver. Shriver then filed for divorce.<br/> A celebrity hacker wreaked havoc on a variety of stars. Christopher Chaney was charged with 25 counts of identity theft amid accusations he hacked into a number of private email accounts, including Scarlett Johansson's, whose racy photos were then leaked online.<br/> Danish director Lars von Trier was kicked out of the Cannes Film Festival after joking that he "understands" Hitler at a press conference for his film, "Melancholia." The director was charged with justifying war crimes, but French prosecutors later decided not to pursue the case.<br/> Hilary Swank also got herself in hot water with her comments. The actress came under fire after attending a 35th birthday celebration for an alleged human rights abuser, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.<br/> Charlie Sheen was part of a very public battle with Chuck Lorre, the creator of his show, "Two and A Half Men." Sheen was fired from the show, although he eventually received a rumored 100 million dollar settlement.<br/> Finally, John Galliano was ousted as head of fashion house Dior for making anti-semitic remarks in a Paris bar. A video surfaced online showing him, apparently inebriated, telling a woman he "loved Hitler" and that her parents might have been gassed in a Nazi death camp.<br/> Bob Mezan, Reuters.
