O.J. Tipster Links Juice with Anna Nicole

Posted Sep 17th 2007 1:27AM by TMZ Staff

So, that guy who led O.J. to the so-called "sting operation" on Thursday that resulted in his arrest yesterday? -- you may remember him as a "memorabilia dealer" who tried to sell Anna Nicole Smith's diaries for $500K and even hawked a video that he claimed showed an Anna Nicole boob job.

The Las Vegas Journal-Review reports that Tom Riccio and Simpson got hooked up two years ago when Riccio booked Simpson to sign memorabilia at the NecroComicon show in L.A., where almost all of the actors who showed up were known for -- guess what? -- their roles in horror and slasher films.

Meanwhile, O.J.'s friend, Thomas Scotto, might not think O.J. is such the best man now, after he told the New York Post that Simpson "ruined" his wedding. Scotto is being sought by cops in the case -- and was trying to get out of the country on his honeymoon. "I don't want the police to pick me up at the airport."

TMZ is all over the O.J. situation, so keep checking back for plenty of updates during the day.

Spears "Secret Witness" – Not a Dealer?

It's D-Day in the Spears-Federline custody battle, and the "secret witness" that lawyer Gloria Allred claims has important information in the case will be with Gloria in court today. FOX News reports that the witness is not a drug dealer -- just someone who has had "close observation" of Britney's interaction with her kids.

Allred, for her part, claimed over the weekend that the judge in the case had accepted the signed declaration of the witness -- and "even praised her work," according to FOX.

Party Favors: Did Emmy Producers Really, Really Not Like Sally's Tirade? ... Trump Vodka Tastes Like "Snack Cracker"

Sally Field's acceptance speech last night at the Emmys was cut short after she exceeded the time limit, but the buzz is that she might've gotten chopped when she started haranguing against the Iraq war. ... Professional tasters have proclaimed that Trump Vodka's notes are like "snack cracker" and "oily/creamy," but it was still good enough to beat perennial favorite, Grey Goose.

1. I used to have respect for Gloria Alridge , but she is just out for the money like the rest of the losers( Ambulance chasers) out there. I'd like to know why Kevins drug abuse has never come into question

3. Tom Riccio is unsavory. Geraldo interviewed him live Saturday and had to virtually beat the information out of him about OJ.

7. celebrities need to realize that awards shows aren't the places to speak out against politicians, wars, etc. they are there to accept awards for something totally different, so they need to stick to that. so annoying.

10. Just when you thought you had herd the last of OJ, never. The man is serving his sentence. Karma's a bitch.

11. LET SALLY FIELD SPEAK HER MIND. THAT CAN`T HAPPEN IF HER SPEECH IS PARTIALLY BLEEPED OUT.

12. Shame on you Gloria Alridge. You have a black smile - you smirk like the cat that swallowed the mouse. Your nose is as crooked as you are. How can you enjoy this brutal bulldoze against Britney? Are money and fame THAT important to you? Then be honest. Don't try coming across like some honorable spokesperson for any famous person you can get your sticky hand's on. You will ride on the coat-tail's of any celebrity who, because of their own faux-pas, can potentially line your pocket's in green.

With Britney, it's almost as though you cannot contain your joy. You make me sick.

I hope there is a lawyer out there who will turn the table's around on K-Fed. He is far from smelling like a rose in this. There are a lot of witnesses to his drug use/abuse.

My heart and prayer's go out to you Britney. You have been through a lot, made mistake's, but I know that you will be fine - in time. Just stay away from the shark's.

13. First, it's Goria ALLRED, not Allridge.

Second, Sally Field said God Damn and they used the 5 sec delay on her. That's all.

14. Brittany deserves to loose custody...she is not fit to look after her children!
