Trudeau, Woods & Newlyweds
Our thanks to everybody over at Encore Home Gallery, New & Consignment Furniture (who bring you "Walk Down Music Row" every morning with Kristin Nash). They had us there this past weekend for their grand opening and it was a spectacular event. We also want to thank all of you who showed up to be a part of it. Congratulations to Jill Thompson of Fredericksburg, who won those Martina McBride tickets!
Tomorrow is a big day for TV huckster Kevin Trudeau. He could be going to jail. He is scheduled to appear in court tomorrow on a criminal contempt charge. Before we go any further, if case you don't know who Kevin Trudeau is, let me refresh your memory. Did you ever get up to go to the bathroom around 2 or 3 in the morning, and maybe flip the TV on for a few minutes? Well, Trudeau is the guy who is on EVERY channel.
Talk about a guy who is COMPLETELY full of baloney, this would be him. Over the years, he's been on TV selling cancer cures, wrinkle remover, and of course, his books, "Weight Loss Cures They Don't Want You To Know About", Debt Cures They don't Want You To Know About", and his biggie, "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About". The latter is full of such gems as, "The sun doesn't cause skin cancer. Sunscreen does". What a theory this is, huh?In 2004, the Federal Trade Commission won a $37 million judgement against him for misrepresenting the contents of his "weight loss" book. He has yet to pay a penny of it, and stated in a public interview that he will not. Hence, his court appearance tomorrow. If he does go to jail, it won't be the first time. In the past, he has done jail time for larceny and credit card fraud. But guys like Kevin Trudeau never quit. If he does go to jail, don't be surprised if, soon afterwards, he'll come out with another book, "Prison Secrets They Don't Want You To Know About".
Finally, Tiger Woods made his big Mea Culpa speech Friday morning. What was probably more entertaining is what happened after Tiger's statement. The world's most annoying attorney, Gloria Allred, also held a press conference to announce she is now representing Josyln James, a former porno star who had an affair with Mr. Woods (a more fitting name would be Mr. Wood).
Gloria Allred has found a way to creep herself into every high-profile case in this country in the last 20 years, including the O.J. Simpson trial, the Scott Peterson trail, the Paula Jones-Bill Clinton fiasco, and the list goes on and on. She will do whatever it takes to get publicity and her face on TV. Now, she's representing this porno star. Allred says her client was very dissatisfied with Tiger's statement, and adds that her client deserves a personal apology for the unwanted attention he brought her......because, as we all know, porn stars HATE attention....and, of course, the last thing a porn star needs is a bad reputation. Allred insists they're not looking for money. All her client wants is an apology. It's a little hard to believe. Who goes out and hires an attorney to get a apology?
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods says he has received thousands of e-mails of encouragement from his fans and supporters. Of course, most of them have names like Jasmine.....Destiny.....Cinnamon......Barbie..........Bubbles........
