From TMZ:
The tape was recorded by Thomas Riccio, who co-owns the auction house Universal Rarities. Riccio met up with Simpson just before the confrontation at the Palace Station Casino on Thursday night.
We’re told Riccio was on hand to help Simpson prove certain memorabilia being auctioned by Alfred Beardsley was ill-gotten. Riccio says he believed Simpson was going to confront Beardsley in the hotel room to give him an ultimatum — either hand over the goods or Simpson would call the cops.
Riccio turned his Olympus digital voice recorder on before the group entered the room — a group that included Simpson and four other men. Almost immediately, Simpson went wild, hurling profanities at Beardsley and another memorabilia dealer, Bruce Fromong.
The confrontation lasts six minutes. It is graphic and telling. Simpson is clearly the ringleader. Simpson repeatedly says, “Think you can steal my s**t and sell it?”
O.J. Simpson is being held without bail on those armed robbery charges. He’s being cooperative and being held in a solitary booking cell. So far only certain members of the prison staff have been allowed contact.
What a schmuck.
Maybe O.J. Simpson thinks that because he got away with murder, he can get away with burglary as well? The Las Vegas police spoke with him in connection with a robbery at the Palace Station Casino. Allegedly O.J. broke into a room, along with several others, and robbed the joint. So far no charges have been filed, though it’s been confirmed that O.J.was at the casino, even though he didn’t have a room there.
Page Six is reporting that OJ Simpson didn’t write one word of his confession hypothetical book, “If I did it.”
“O.J. told me [ReganBooks publisher] Judith Regan approached him and said to him, ‘Do you mind if we write a book and put your name on it?’ I said, ‘I don’t care. You can write anything you want, as long as you pay me,’ ” said promoter Norm Pardo, who’s preparing a TV documentary about Simpson.
The gossip page is also reporting that OJ practiced crying in anticipation of a television interview.
It appears that online video hub Broadcaster.com has drawn the protests of 20th Century Fox for their internet parody of “The Simpsons.”
Broadcaster Inc.’s parodies include three video clips of “The O.J. Simpson’s,” a parody that re-imagines the popular Fox series with O.J. Simpson as the star.
The company is reviewing Fox’s demands, but believes they are safe under the fair-use doctrine, which protects parodies.
