Goldman family says
they are punishing O.J.

CHICAGO — The father and sister of Ronald Goldman say by seizing control of the O.J. Simpson book, “If I Did It,” they are punishing the man they believe murdered their loved one.

Fred Goldman and his daughter, Kim, appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on Thursday to discuss their decision to publish the book. Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of killing his ex-wife, Nicole, and her friend Ron.

A federal bankruptcy judge awarded rights to the book to Goldman’s family to help satisfy a $38 million wrongful death judgment against the former football star. Winfrey says she won’t buy or read the book.

Zeta-Jones, Douglas
eye movie in India

MUMBAI, India — Catherine Zeta-Jones and her husband, Michael Douglas, are planning to shoot a movie in India.

“I’m looking forward to going to India,” the actress was quoted as saying by The Times of India on Thursday. “Michael and I are developing a script that will be set up in India. We will take our kids and all of us will come there, set up camp in India and shoot a film.”

Zeta-Jones didn’t give details about the movie. Douglas visited Mumbai two years ago and announced plans to co-produce and star in “Racing the Monsoon,” an action-adventure about a diamond heist aboard an Indian train.

Zeta-Jones, Douglas and their two young children live much of the year on the island of Bermuda, the 37-year-old actress said. “The logistics are different now, I can’t just take off anywhere because my kids go to school in Bermuda,” she said. “If I work, Michael doesn’t work and vice versa, that’s our pact.”

Zeta-Jones won a supporting actress Oscar in 2003 for her role in the musical “Chicago.” Douglas, 62, has won two Oscars — as an actor for the 1987 film “Wall Street” and as a producer for 1975’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”

Judge rejects bid
to increase rapper’s bail

NEW YORK — Remy Ma, free on $250,000 bond after being accused of shooting an acquaintance, doesn’t have to post more bail money despite more problems with the law.

A judge said Wednesday she was denying a prosecutor’s request to hike the rapper’s bail following a new indictment on witness tampering and gang assault charges.

The judge said she could change her mind later. The new charges stem from an Aug. 19 assault on a witness’ boyfriend in a Bronx nightclub.

Remy, 26, is accused of causing several of her male friends to attack the man, blackening an eye and breaking a bone in his face.

Remy, whose real name is Remy Smith, is the only person charged in the nightclub beatdown, Berland said.

The victims reported that they covered their faces to protect themselves and didn’t see who hit them, he said.

The prosecutor said he was asking for an increase in bail because Remy may be a flight risk.

Remy’s lawyer, Ira Fisher, said the rapper will surrender her passport. Remy has pleaded not guilty to all the charges, Fisher said.
