In fact, would you buy ANYTHING from this guy?? Well, a lot of people have. I almost did. He is one of TVs favorite hucksters and a master snake oil salesman, Kevin Trudeau. I get a kick out of watching his infomercials because they're so campy, so corny and so insulting to one's intelligence, that they're hysterical. If you're like me and enjoy his pitches, I have some bad news for you. You won't be seeing Mr. Trudeau for the next 3 years. He has been banned from being involved in infomercials until the year 2011. He's also been ordered to pay more than five million dollars for making false claims. The judge who sentenced him cited his "history of deception" and his "willful efforts to deceive consumers". You mean coral calcium doesn't really cure cancer?????????? Get outta town!

If you're divorced, you might want to think about getting married again. Rostock University in Germany discovered that divorce can shorten your life by as much as smoking or being homeless can. The study found that, on the average, divorced people have a lifespan 9 years shorter than married people. The profile of the person who lives the longest: married, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink and has 2 kids. The way I see it, if you're married, have 2 kids, don't smoke and don't drink, your life will just SEEM longer.

Happy Birthday today to Daisy Fuentes. She is 42. Howard "The Madman" Dean is 60 today. Tom Seaver is 64. Lorne Michaels, 64. Lauren Hutton, 65. Martin Scorsese is 66 and Gordon Lightfoot is 70 today. Also, sharing a birthday today.......Danny DeVito, 64 and RuPaul, 48, two men who were both destined to wear high heels.

That's it for today. I'm very tired. Rae and I are applying for a mortgage and I think an ear transplant without anesthesia would be less painful.
