Paris Hilton accused beau Paris Lastis of cheating on her at his bachelor party - an alleged indiscretion that similarly doomed Mario Lopez and Ali Landry. Nick Lachey's reported dalliance with a porn star at a friend's party - while it was denied - sparked rumors about a rift with wife Jessica Simpson before their eventual split in 2005.
