OJ publicizes his book the only way he knows how
You gotta hand it to O.J. Simpson: Though he’s not making any money off his ghostwritten memoir, “If (imagine the ‘If’ very, very tiny, because that’s how they’ve redesigned the book cover) I DID IT,” he’s proving to be a trooper nonetheless, getting his name out there to help promote it and doing interviews – albeit only with Las Vegas police investigators looking into the Juice’s participation in a possible armed robbery at a sports memorabilia store at a Vegas casino.
Apparently, getting arrested is easier than participating in a grueling interview mill with the People Magazines of the world these days. Lindsay Lohan got popped with a DUI and possession of cocaine just before her movie “I Know Who Killed Me” opened. Tracy Morgan was arrested and charged with a DUI last November; his show “30 Rock” had just premiered a couple of months earlier. Paris Hilton used her release from the slammer to promote her new clothing line.
And just as O.J. returned to the news to help Fred Goldman, who owns the rights to the book, Idaho Senator Larry Craig thoughtfully allowed his bust for men’s room perversions to drop Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ embarrassing resignation from the news networks' radar.
So here’s how you know Phil Spector is nuts: He had no new product in the pipeline to peddle when he (allegedly, pending the jury's decision) shot Lana Clarkson in February 2003.
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
