O.J. Simpson to reveal'how it happened' in book
LOS ANGELES -- In a new TV interview and book, O.J. Simpson discusses how he would have committed the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend "if I did it."
The two-part television interview, titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29 on Fox, the TV network said Tuesday.
"O.J. Simpson, in his own words, tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crimes," the network said in a statement. "In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade."
"This is an interview that no one thought would ever happen. Its the definitive last chapter in the Trial of the Century," Mike Darnell, executive vice president of alternative programming for Fox, said in a statement.
The interview, conducted with book publisher Judith Regan, will air days before Simpson's new book, "If I Did It," goes on sale Nov. 30. The book "hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed," the network said.
The book is published by ReganBooks, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers run by Regan.
Simpson, who now lives in Florida, was acquitted in a criminal trial of the 1994 killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was later found liable in 1997 in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family.
Supermodel facesa new lawsuit
NEW YORK -- Naomi Campbell returned to court Wednesday as her lawyer and a Manhattan prosecutor tried unsuccessfully to cut a deal on charges that she threw a cell phone at her maid over a pair of missing jeans.
"We're still in the process of working out a possible disposition," said Assistant District Attorney Shanda Strain at a short hearing where the 36-year-old supermodel stood mutely. She is due back in court Jan. 16.
Campbell's lawyer, David Breitbart, said he was considering a plea offer from the Manhattan district attorney's office but declined to provide details.
Breitbart told reporters Campbell hoped to reach an agreement that would only require community service. The British catwalker could face up to seven years in prison and deportation if convicted on the assault charge.
Campbell was accused of hitting Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with a cell phone in the model's Manhattan apartment. Scolavino was treated for a head injury after the incident.
On Tuesday, Campbell was sued by another former maid who says the model viciously assaulted her while calling her a dumb Romanian. The lawsuit by Gaby Gibson calls Campbell a "violent super-bigot."
Gibson, who worked for Campbell from November 2005 though January 2006, says Campbell hit her, called her names and threatened to charge her with theft after being unable to find a pair of designer jeans.
