    ShamWow Guy In Slap, Chop Bust
    TV pitchman battered hooker in South Beach hotel room brawl

    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. The affidavit, a copy of which you'll find here, notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face (she is pictured here 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. In a brief telephone interview, Harris declined to answer TSG questions about her run-in with Shlomi, though she did say she is considering a lawsuit against the pitchman. Asked if she worked as a hooker, Harris declined comment. As seen in the below mug shot, Shlomi was also injured during the fracas and, court records show, was treated at Mount Sinai Medical Center. While Shlomi and Harris were both arrested for felony aggravated battery, prosecutors this month declined to file formal charges against the combatants. Police records list Shlomi's occupation as "Marketing," but make no mention of his affiliation with the ShamWow or the Slap Chop, both of which sell for $19.95 (plus shipping and handling).

    So does this mean you can now add "knob polisher" to the many uses for the Shamwow ?

    DO you think he has the $$$ to make it worth her time? I wonder if his contract gave him a one time payment for the commercial or back end payments as well?

    top ten things Vince said when arrested:

    10) "Guys -- we're gonna make America skinny again -- one slap at a time!"
    9) "This is making you cry-- making me cry!"
    8) "She was made in Germany. You know Germans always make the best stuff!"
    7) "The reason you're going to slap away every day is, it's so easy to clean!"
    6) "Tacos, fetticini, linguini, martini... BIKINI!'
    5) "You'll be saying WOW evertime you use this towel"
    4) "She pops open like a butterfly... clean!"
    3) "So easy... you can do it with one finger!"
    2) "Ya know, not only nuts... what about fruit?"
    1) "Who wants bacteria in their chopper?"

    I sort of think this too. Another conspiracy theory, if you can call it that, is that Billy Mays has been wanting to set him up for a while. Apparently Billy really hates Vinny.

    Because the photos aren't from her arrest that night. They're from priors in 2005 and 2008. Looks like she’s starting to go down hill fast considering she’s only 26.
