Russell Brand has described fame as a \"Wonka ticket to a sex factory\". Brand\'s addiction to sex started when his dad introduced him to prostitution in Hong Kong and ended in a US rehab clinic with a paedophile as a roommate. Brand wrote about his experience in his autobiography My Booky Wook by saying, \"Many people are sceptical about the idea of what I like to call ‘sexy addiction\'... but addiction, by definition, is a compulsive behaviour that you cannot control or relinquish, in spite of its destructive consequences.\" Luckily Russell is now on the path to sexual normality and is engaged to songstress Katy Perry.

David Duchovny

It was a case of life imitating art when David Duchovny - who plays a sex-mad writer on the hit US TV show Californication - publicly announced he was seeking treatment for sex addiction in August 2008. Before marrying actress Tea Leoni in 1997, Duchovny was forced to deny reports in the press that he was a sex addict who attended meetings to help control his desires. David and Tea separated in October 2008 and she has since been romantically linked with co-star Billy Bob Thornton. However, the couple have patched things up and appeared together on the red carpet in December 2009.

Colin Farrell

Tommy Lee

Tommy Lee made the headlines after a homemade honeymoon sex video of him and his then wife Pamela Anderson hit the market and went on to become the biggest selling adult video of all time. The couple split in 2000 amid tales of Tommy Lee\'s sexual addiction and the Mötley Crüe drummer\'s sex life made the headlines once again after he was spotted having sex with a woman in a night club in the Hamptons.

Calum Best

Calum went public about his sex addiction after photos of him taking part in a cocaine-fuelled sex romp were released in 2007. The serial womaniser whose conquests include Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan told the Sun newspaper; \"I\'ve got a problem. Sometimes I end up with one woman, other times I end up with two. This makes me sounds so seedy, when I\'m not. I\'m a respectable gentleman, but sometimes get drunk and get high.\"

Billy Bob Thornton

The extent of Billy Bob Thornton\'s sex addiction was revealed when his then wife, Angelina Jolie discovered the renowned Hollywood bad boy had been having a string of affairs with groupies and members of their household staff behind her back. In an attempt to save their two-year marriage Angelina sent Billy Bob to a sex counsellor but rather than use the session to cure himself of his addiction, Billy Bob had sex with the therapist instead. This, unsurprisingly was the final straw for Angelina and the couple split shortly afterwards.

Bill Murray

Bill Murray was branded a sex addict after his wife of 11 years filed for divorce saying she had had enough of his long absences when he would leave the country without telling her and \"engage in private and public sexual liaisons\" with other women. The actor was also accused of having a marijuana addiction, hitting his wife in the face and guzzling booze. Not surprisingly he has kept off the Hollywood radar since the much-publicised divorce. 

Rob Lowe

Famous for his infidelity in his youth, Brothers And Sisters actor Rob Lowe was involved in a sex tape scandal in 1988 (one of the first celebrity sex tape scandals), which showed him having sex with two women, one who was only 16. Lowe claimed he didn\'t know the girl was underage and it was confirmed that the two met in a bar where the girl should have been 21 to enter. He later entered rehab for alcohol and sex addiction and his career has rebounded, with Lowe even mocking himself over the incident on Saturday Night Live. Lowe is now happily married with two kids.

Ulrika Jonsson

In 2007 Ulrika Jonsson appeared in a documentary titled Ulrika... Am I A Sex Addict? (Really, what else would compel you to sleep with Sven-Göran Eriksson?) The Swedish TV presenter was diagnosed during filming of the documentary, as she began to have an increasing personal interest in the topic. More about loneliness and lack of confidence rather than someone who simply loved sex, the documentary made Jonsson into a sympathetic figure. She is now happily married to her third husband, US advertising executive Brian Monet.

Bill Clinton

Taking a leaf out of John F Kennedy\'s book, Bill Clinton was famous for his affairs. After the Monica Lewinsky debacle, former US president Gerald Ford told writer Thomas M DeFrank, \"He\'s sick, he\'s got an addiction. He needs treatment.\" Ford\'s wife, Betty, who founded a pioneering treatment center after her battle with alcoholism and drugs, concurred. \"You know, there\'s treatment for that kind of addiction,\" she told DeFrank during the same conversation in 1999. \"A lot of men have gone through the treatment with a lot of success.\"

Charlie Sheen
