ShamWow Guy

You now "Vince" the TV pitchman for "ShamWow" towels? That's the very successful, low budget ad campaign for a reusable towel. Well, according to The Smoking Gun Web Site, on February 7th, our boy, Vince, (actually Vince Shlomi, 44) was having a drink at a Miami Beach nightclub when he meets 26 year old Sasha Harris. According to the arrest affidavit, Vince 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. The affidavit notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face (she is pictured, below, in mug shots snapped following busts in 2008 and 2005). 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.
