I'm not convinced that someone couldn't snow even the smartest, most

well-heeled and assisted person out there if they were determined. The

expose (aired on Bravo) was pretty well-documented. There is a court case

involving him beating his first wife, so they're not making things up.

I think the fact that he can't take his own advice shows just how much it's

worth - he's the supposed new diet " guru " but is overweight because of his

" inability to exercise due to old football injuries " ; tells folks to use

their power of vision - if they think they look like a model, then they

will, then turns around in an interview and says " I accept that I'm never

going to look like Pierce Brosnan - um what happened to your power of

vision, Phil?

*You* know it's only entertainment but sadly there are WAY too many people

out there that think he actually has some professional worth. I personally

avoid him and his ilk too and encourage others to do so. But when they

cross the line, they need to be held accountable.
