Celebrity Justice
FOX Cuts and Runs on OJ

OJ SimpsonCommon sense and good taste seem to have prevailed: FOX has decided to pull the plug on both its planned OJ Simpson book and television interview special, "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened."

Good.

News Corporation Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said today, "I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project. We are sorry for any pain this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown-Simpson."

17. What was the point anyway? We all KNOW he did it...there's no IF!! I sincerely hope that the Browns and the Goldmans will get justice for Nicole and Ron one day. Simpson is trash and he should be rotting in prison - right next to Scott Peterson.

20. THANK GOD. Rupert Murdock to the high road instead of a path of sleazy controversy and sensationalism to make a quick, bloodstained buck at the expense of the murder victims' families. OJ should burn in hell.

25. The interview will most likely be a pay-for-view event now. OJ will make more money off it.

26. Hmmmmmm.."Shakeem" calls TMZ "racist"??? Interesting. Oh and Shakeem, that picture IS of a crazy black man...all TMZ did was print it.

27. GREAT! How pathetic is it that OJ felt the need to 'share' with us all? You'd think that after getting away with murder, he'd drift off into the sunset somewhere and finish his life out of the limelight ... but no-o-o-o, not OJ, he just can't get enough publicity. Good move, Fox!

28. Hey Shakeem, try READING the press release the book is cancled too. By the way have you ever seen a picture of O.J. where he didn't look crazy??? Oh yeah the one of him wearing his Bruno Maglies shoes. Now O.J. can go back to looking for the real killers.

29. Let's not blame OJ. The majority of us know he is a complete idiot. I blame Judith Regan for trying to score what she probably considered a coup. It's not. It was a horrendous thought. It was akin to ripping the scab off a wound.
Murdoch did the right thing.

30. I wish he could be tried again. We have shown that you really can get away with murder. I feel sorry for the families having to know this, and that his life goes on as usual.
