Whereas Eddie's prowess was bolstered by appearances in successful family movies, Chris Rock stuck to his stand-up roots, earning praise from his HBO specials. (Photo: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic)

Chris Rock - A forgetful Hungarian model, a paternity suit and an alleged Kleenex tissue: sounds like the setup of a Chris Rock joke. Unfortunately, however, they're the ingredients that lead to a paternity suit that dogged Rock for over a decade before he settled out of court while still maintaining his innocence. The model in question claimed that Rock date raped her in 1998 and that she became pregnant as a result, but couldn't prove the paternity after two DNA tests cleared Rock. All seemed to be well until the comedian allegedly broke their confidentiality agreement during an interview with Howard Stern, and the model sued him in civil court. (Photo: Mark Davis/WireImage)
