Is this O.J. Simpson story really that important? Sure why not. ET Online has the exclusive details of O.J.'s flight back to Florida yesterday. Snack packs! Chicken Caesar sandwiches! Red Wine! It's all there!:
O.J. Simpson and his girlfriend have landed in Florida and only ET has the details of his four hour and 20 minute flight. O.J. flew coach on US Airways Flight 888 from Las Vegas to Fort Lauderdale, FL, sitting in seat 4D while Christie Prody, his girlfriend, sat in 4E. Both the former football star and his girlfriend boarded early. O.J.'s attorney, Yale Galanter, sat in 4C and had to board with the rest of the passengers. Passengers were laughing and joking with O.J. as they boarded the flight.O.J. purchased a $3 snack pack for himself (the pack included chips, salsa, fruit bar, chocolate bar, cheese and breadsticks) and a $5 chicken caesar sandwich for his girlfriend and paid for the meal with a $50 bill. O.J. drank Coca-Cola and ice water while in flight, while Christie drank a small $5 bottle of red wine. Christie brought her small black miniature Pomeranian onboard in a dog carrier.
While in flight, O.J. got a Louis Vuitton duffel bag out of the overhead compartment to get a pair of headphones and then watched Ocean's Thirteen and dozed, while his girlfriend requested a blanket and rested her head on his shoulder. The flight landed at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport at 11:50 p.m. (Source)
Wait a minute, am I sniffing too many magic markers again or did ET Online just provide me with the price and contents of the snack pack O.J. purchased while en route to Florida? Call me crazy but some of these media outlets might be taking this O.J. coverage a bit too far. So the guy dabbled in a little armed robbery and kidnapping. It's not like he killed somebody . . . like he could even do that. Not unless smiles, laughter, and half-eaten lollipops somehow become lethal. Guy's harmless.

Along with five of his friends, O.J. Simpson allegedly robbed a memorabilia dealer at gunpoint at the Palace Station Hotel in Las Vegas last night, stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. TMZ says:
Alfred Beardsley, a memorabilia dealer, had secured various items once owned by Simpson. Beardsley has said he had the suit OJ wore the day he was acquitted of murder. Beardsley tells TMZ he had arranged to meet with someone last night who was interested in buying the suit and other Simpson memorabilia. Beardsley says the man was actually a member of Simpson's crew. He says the men stormed the room, two of them with guns drawn.Beardsley says the men claimed to be police officers. OJ and others demanded that Beardsley and two other men surrender their cell phones. Beardsley refused to do so. Beardsley says the group stole every piece of memorabilia in the room, including items signed by Joe Montana. They also took a case of never-released leather editions of Simpson's book, "I Want to Tell You." (Source)
Somewhere in hell Johnny Cochran is screaming, "NOOOOOOOO!" But seriously, I'm sure this is all just a big misunderstanding. O.J was probably rummaging through the dresser drawers of that hotel room looking for the real killers. That, or he was looking for a new set of cutlery. Before we pass judgment though, shouldn't we give O.J the benefit of the doubt? My god he rushed for 2,003 yards in 1973--he's at least earned that!
According to videographer Norm Pardo, O.J. Simpson may be the baby daddy of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, Dannielynn Hope. Pardo became friendly with O.J. while amassing hours of footage of him between 2000 and 2005. Though it's extremely unlikely O.J. is the father, he did know Anna Nicole, having worked with her on the film Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult in 1994. According to Pardo, after Anna Nicole died Simpson began joking that he might be the father:
"I hope they don't do a DNA test on Anna Nicole's baby. If they find out Dannielynn is mine, I don't want Fred Goldman [the father of Ron Goldman, who was killed by O.J.]trying to seize her money - or the baby herself."
Pardo also revealed:
"[O.J.] said he knew Anna Nicole pretty well, and he said he had slow-moving sperm, and he might be the father." (Source)
I don't know who this O.J. Simpson character is but he seems like kind of a dick. I just did a Google search on him and he appears to be black. And since Dannielynn is whiter than a dude that's allergic to the sun, science says that O.J. can't possible be the father. Science also says the real father of my son is Jose, the Mexican dude that lives across the street. Screw you science, you lying son-of-a-bitch!
O.J. Simpson, who was acquitted in criminal court 11 years ago of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, reportedly has been paid $3.5 million to write about the 1994 double murder:
But Simpson is not actually confessing to the murder — rather, he's writing a "hypothetical" book — which the Enquirer reports is tentatively being called "If I Did It." The early part of the book tells how Simpson fell in love with Nicole and how the marriage collapsed, reports the tab. He goes on, according to the article, to describe in gruesome detail the killing of his ex-wife and Goldman; he stipulates that the murder scenes are "hypothetical." But, notes the tab, the descriptions are "so detailed and so chillingly realistic" that readers are left with little doubt as to what really happened.
I would love to hang out with O.J. Simpson for a day. Since he's one of the most despised men in the world, you could pretty much get away with anything and still look like a saint. I'd walk down the street simultaneously kicking a bag of puppies and dragging a newborn baby behind me on a rope, yet still seem like the greatest guy in the world. People would say, "hey look at the nice guy, let's give him things!" O.J. should just start renting himself out like a timeshare. I call last week of December!
