Sources told TMZ that the Notre Dame linebacker knew the truth about his fake girlfriend Lennay Kekua in early December, but continued to lie for the sake of his team. We're still trying to figure this one out.
-
Bill Clinton
The ex-Prez said, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." And, well, you know the rest . . .

John Edwards
The former presidential hopeful denied cheating on his wife while she was battling cancer but later admitted that he had fathered a child with his mistress.
-
Arnold Schwarzenegger
The ex-governor neglected to tell his wife that he had fathered a child with their household employee. We call that living a lie . . .

Star Jones
Years later, the former "View" co-host admitted to having had gastric bypass surgery.

James Frey
After Oprah touted Frey's addiction memoir "A Million Little Pieces," it turned out to have been partly fictionalized.

In what may have been Oprah's Biggest Interview Ever, disgraced cycling champ Lance Armstrong finally admitted to doping — and lying about doping.
Lance isn't only a cheater — he's also a liar. “I view this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times," he told Oprah.
But Lance is far from the first famous liar. There are far too many to include here, but we chose our favorites from the worlds of sports (including the strange, still-developing Manti Te'o hoax), entertainment (Milli Vanilli) and politics (clue: he certainly did have "sexual relations" with that woman).

+16Barrack Obama - I won't raise taxes on the middle class. Then passes Obamacare, ends payroll tax holiday. I got raise at the first of the year, and lost 40.00 dollars a week.
I bow in awe of his abilities; they're super human!
Of the ones NOT listed? Obama.
Anyway, on your list Clinton. He is a celebrity now and LIED TO THE NATION, UNDER OATH!!!! from the most respected (at the time) position in our country.
Now, Obama just took over and left Clinton in the dust in the lies category. He is like a LIE MACHINE....He keeps going and going and going and going on and on with lies.
No room for O.J. Simpson?
Bill Clinton is the biggest in the sense of being the most prominent and causing the largest scandal, but I'd consider his other lies to be so much more important than his relationship lies that the Monica Lewinsky scandal was just popcorn entertainment. James Frey probably takes the cake for being the most audacious on the list, though Kip Litton would beat him if he were listed. ;) If anyone wants to read a fantastic account of a pathological liar, check this out:
