ShamWow guy arrested
You'll never look at infomercials the same way again.The ShamWow pitchman, whose real name is Vince Shlomi, was arrested in South Beach in Florida for getting into an altercation at a hotel. Seems that he paid $1000 for the services of a prostitute for an evening, and when he started to kiss her, she bit his tongue and wouldn't let go! So he started to punch her several times until she let go of his tongue. He ran to the lobby and had hotel workers call the cops.
It's not the first time the prostitute was arrested, but she's thinking about suing Shlomi for the incident. I guess she didn't love his nuts. Charges against both of them have been dropped.
This actually happened last month, according to The Smoking Gun, which has all of the details (of course), including Shlomi's mug shot. They even have an interview with the woman involved.

A television writer is suing Jennifer Lopez and UPN, claiming
they stole his idea for a television show. Jack Bunick claims that South Beach was his idea and it was based

on January 11th was a copy of the script he wrote for a show he called South Beach Miami. Bunick says his show
idea was about two men who move from Brooklyn, get involved in modeling and clubs, but struggle fit in to Miami. That's
pretty much the current show. UPN reportedly received a copy of that script from his agent, but the network never
contacted him about the program. Jennifer Lopez is entangled in this mess because she is an executive producer of
