Ex-"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" host Robin Leach and the attorneys general from 12 states announced on Monday that they had settled a lawsuit against Leach, who had promised consumers a "dream vacation" and "Bahamas cruise" that turned out to be a ferry ride with "Las Vegas-style" bingo. Leach admitted no wrongdoing, just fessed up to being unfamiliar with the packages being offered. He's now promised only to endorse those packages he knows, in accordance with Federal Trade Commission guidelines.
