Recent Years
In 2002, Wanis began to write pocketbooks (Mini-mags and Micro-mags) for American Media, starting with "How to Hypnotize Anyone." With the publication of more titles and books, he became recognized as a relationship expert and soon after as a human behavior expert. Subsequently, he was regularly featured and interviewed on syndicated radio and TV shows including Mike and Juliet Morning show, Montel Williams show, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, HLN, TruTV, Fox news online and magazines Cosmopolitan, VIVA and The New York Observer.
Wanis has often spoken out publicly on television, radio and in print about celebrity narcissism and meltdowns. In 2007, Wanis began his annual list of The Top Ten Celebrity Meltdowns and became recognized as the expert on celebrity meltdowns; his list is featured each year on FOX News Channel.
In November 2011, Chaz Bono threatened to sue the National Enquirer over an article that cited Wanis and which claimed Bono's weight, stress, and the medications and issues associated with his gender reassignment, could increase the likelihood of an early death. Wanis was cited in the Enquirer article as a Human Behavior Expert (and contrary to claims by Bono’s attorney, Wanis was not cited or credited as a transgender specialist or medical doctor.) The following day, Wanis recorded a personal video message to Bono heeding him to "ignore the sensationalism of the Enquirer headlines such as ‘liver damage agony’ but still take action about his health, to surround himself only with people that really care, and to beware of Hollywood’s parasites."

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Jim Wilson: Cops have no friends. Nobody likes a cop. On either side of the law. Nobody.
Captain Brawley: Is that what you want? People to like you? Then you’re in the wrong business and you ought to get out.
Jim Wilson: It’s the only job I know. Has been for eleven years now.
Captain Brawley: Then make up your mind to be a cop. Not a gangster with a badge.”
—A.I. (Albert Isaac)
“I was born a mechanic, and made a barrel before I was ten years old. The cooper told my father, “Fanny made that barrel, and has done it quicker and better than any boy I have had after six months’ training.” My father looked at it and said, “What a pity that you were not born a boy so that you could be good for something. Run into the house, child, and go to knitting.””
—Frances D. Gage (1808–1884)
