Just when it seemed as if infomercial king Kevin Trudeau was dealt a final knockout blow in his never-ending bout with the Federal Trade Commission, the Teflon pitchman is at it again – and he's as cocky as ever.

Who was that guy talking smack about the FTC at 5 a.m. the other night? You guessed it.

After his latest round in court, it appeared as though TV's insomnia-hours fixture had been banned from the airwaves. A federal appeals court allowed part of an earlier ruling to stand that severely limits Trudeau's commercial appearances, permitting him on only previously-aired productions he doesn't directly profit from. To air a new production, a judge said he must post a $2 million bond (the FTC asked for the bond to be set at $10 million) or be held in contempt of court.
