TV pitchman battered hooker in South Beach hotel room brawl (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0327092sham1.html)

MARCH 27--Meet Vince Shlomi. He's probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room. According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex." Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue.



This makes me so happy.

[Gvac]

I knew he was a creep, but I had him pegged as a pedophile.

Oh, and Sham-Wow had a booth at the trade show I worked last weekend. They were selling those things hand over fist.

Fucking weirdos.

[torker]

Rule #1: Don't Kiss a Hooker

[TheMojoPin]

I knew he was a creep when I found out he was the "genius" behind that Underground Comedy Movie abomination.

[grlNIN]

He does not look like he is 44 years old.

[Dude!]

Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex".

i don't understand what that means
she is a woman and he is a guy
why would he say "for straight sex"?

[grlNIN]

I think they just meant right to the chase sex,.

[Dude!]

oh i get it

like the fact that she bit his tongue
and would not let go

he did not want the kink

[Gvac]

I wouldn't kiss a prostitute if she paid me a thousand bucks.

You'd probably get a snowball from the previous client.

[~Katja~]

imagine what the Slap Shop could have done to that hookers nuts

[joethebartender]

He does not look like he is 44 years old.

He looks every day of 64.

mugshot pic and he looks everyone of those 44 years

[~Katja~]

I also wonder why the police could only recover 930 bucks from her purse after he gave her $1000 in 20's.

did she buy a few of those sham wows off the dude to clean up the bloody mess she leaves behind every hotel room?

[Dude!]

He looks every day of 64.

http://i.cdn.turner.com/trutv/thesmokinggun.com/graphics/art4/0327092sham1awm.jpg

holy cow
he looks nothing like the guy on tv
looks like he is his father!

[torker]

Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex."
He should take advantage of that 10 year warranty.

he paid Harris about $1000 in cash
10 crisp hundreds and $7.95 for shipping and handling

[WampusCrandle]

the hooker is good looking, btw.

you can see she is aging pretty quickly for being so young. (still cute chick though)

[Enabler]

She is the living image of one of those "crazy chicks" Ron is always talking about. Her and Sham Wow guy both look really strung out. The fact that no drugs were recovered might be the real reason for the beating.

[torker]

She must be an Ellen Jamesian.

[tanless1]

is he related to buster poindexter ?

If this thread has taught us anything it's that makeup is a wonderful thing for both men and women.

if i got one, i would probably use it once, my girlfriend would clean it and put it back in the box and put it in the closet, and i would forget about it.

The Sham Wow dude must weigh all of 120 lbs. soaking wet.

This chick has to be the wimpiest hooker EVER.

[RoseBlood]

Thank you *bows*. I found better pictures where she looked more like the hooker above but they were blocked from my viewing pleasure. I tried to find a before and after picture of what the years of hard living will do.

speak for yourself mr. i'm getting old.

i read or heard somewhere that a woman reaches her physical peak in beauty by at 23:down: So all of you youngins, look in the mirror and think "this is as good as it's gonna get".

*edit* this person has obviously never seen Lindsay Lohan.

Nahh. I think you read or heard wrong. I've known women who have gotten better looking after 23.

Lindsay Lohan is trash. She WAS good looking, but she ruined it.

I don't recall the source, could've just been an opinion and not scientific. Obviously this didn't take into account individual genetic and lifestyle.

It's all about lifestyle.

[Furtherman]

She was a cutie then... until right after she hit it big in Mean Girls and then started partying too much. Now's she an exoskeleton of what she could have been.

[topless_mike]

she was pretty and had awesome cans until she went on her partying / coke binge.

now she looks like a dried up locust.

Not everyone can peak at age 3.

Greg Kinnear was in Talk Soup, which is who Vince looks like.

I thought the Blind Mellon Bee Girl was the suicidal uncle in Little Miss Sunshine. And Greg Kinnear was the gay next door neighbor in The Shinning.

I hope I'm not being overly sensitive when i say I find this fucking horrific. I couldn't possibly care less that she is a prostitute and he is a fucking scumbag infomercial "celebrity".
