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.

Forget the price of gold—if she’s all you get for $1000, you know the currency has tanked.

I think the only person who laughed harder than me at this story is Billy Mays.

First time I saw him I figured this guy could do a skit of him on Saturday Night Live or some such.
