I think it shows poor business sense if a company thinks Howard can help boost your profits.

Howard is such a powerful stock mover...

I listened to a replay of the Kid Rock interview last night and when the Wig started blathering on and on about John Varvatos I wanted to fucking throw up. You have to be a fucking guido on the Jersey Shore or an aging has-been radio DJ to even give a shit who's designing your clothes. Howard is a pathetic, sold-out, old queen.
