I'll tell you what I love most about my job: Sometimes I get to type out headlines like these, and they're real. And I just read them over and over again and think, "My God, is it really my job to type out those words in that order?" But it is. The ShamWow guy. Beat up. A hooker. He beat up a hooker. He did. And then she beat him up back! ZOMG.
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 traveled 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. The affidavit ... notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face ... After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the Setai lobby, where security summoned cops. Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse. "Both parties had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from their persons," police reported.
They were both arrested for felony aggravated battery, but prosecutors declined to file formal charges against either.
Still.
The ShamWow guy beat up a hooker.
Money, folks, can't buy you anything that matters.

Beyonce brought a little Alanis flavor to the opening night of her tour in Edmonton, Canada, doing a cover of "You Oughtta Know." (Alanis, you'll recall, is a Canada girl, so that may have been why she chose this song.)
I hate to sound like Paula Abdul here, but she didn't really make it her own. It played like an exact copy of Alanis's version. Also, seriously, how 10 years ago is it to encourage the audience to sing the "fuck her" part of that song? I mean, really. Come on, B. I expect more from you. />

You've already heard my rant about how excited this makes me.
NOW, there's a preview clip of the Family Guy show featuring the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It also got some quick interviews with Seth MacFarlane about the episode. You can check it out here.

Singer/songwriter/producer Pharrell was in the Paris airport, begging the McDonald's folks for a Big Mac and a milkshake, but there was just one problem: They were still only serving breakfast. This is my GIANT PROBLEM with McDonald's. That's not true, actually, I have a lot of problems with McDonald's, but perhaps my biggest gripe with them is that I can't get a fucking Big Mac before 10 am. WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO US? I once had a horrific experience in college when I ordered a #7 at the drive-thru, and was so excited to eat my cheeseburgers and fries, but when I opened the bag it contained gross hash browns and some icky sausage-egg-biscuit mess. NOT YUMMY. It was pretty traumatic for me. I think I cried. Come on, Mickey D's, cheeseburgers are an ALWAYS food.
Pharrell did a funny song and dance number to try to convince the girls to give him his food. They obviously didn't recognize him and they were not amused. But I am. And that's what matters. />
