True Crime

Owen Wilson wants nothing to do with a movie leaning into the idea O.J. Simpson was innocent of the infamous '94 murders -- turning down a boatload for the lead part.

The partially finished flick's director, Joshua Newton, admits he thought Owen was perfect for the role of attorney Douglas McCann, but he says even dangling a whopping $12 million check couldn't sway Owen to sign on the dotted line.

Newton tells Rambling Reporter talks initially went pretty deep with Owen about playing McCann ... a real-life attorney who got sucked into various conspiracy theories during Simpson's 1995 criminal trial.

There's a snowball's chance in hell Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ryan Anderson work things out and reunite, because she is loving her new bachelorette lifestyle ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Gypsy Rose tell TMZ ... it's highly unlikely the estranged spouses will ever get back together since Gypsy's really embracing singledom, and feeling totally free for the first time in her life.

Remember, Gypsy Rose -- a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy -- spent seven years in prison for the second-degree murder of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's moving on from Ryan Anderson, and not just in her marriage ... she hasn't shared a second of camera time with him since their split, and we've learned that's not going to change anytime soon.

"Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up" production sources tell TMZ ... the estranged couple didn't shoot together after the breakup, and the production's going to focus more on Blanchard from here on out.

We're told the doc crew filmed the fallout between Blanchard and Anderson ... but, now it doesn't make sense to shoot them together because not only do they not live together, but quite frankly their lives are moving in totally separate directions.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard está pasando de Ryan Anderson, y no solo en su matrimonio, ella no ha compartido un segundo de tiempo de cámara con él desde su separación... y supimos que esto no va a cambiar a corto plazo.

Fuentes que trabajaron en "Gypsy Rose: La vida después del Lock Up", le dicen a TMZ que la pareja distanciada no ha rodado después de la ruptura, y la producción va a centrarse más en Blanchard de aquí en adelante.

Nos dicen que el equipo del documental filmó la caída entre Blanchard y Anderson, pero ahora no tiene sentido filmarlos juntos porque no solo no viven juntos, sino que sus vidas se están moviendo en direcciones totalmente opuestas.

Patricia Arquette tiene una debilidad por Gypsy Rose Blanchard y le desea paz y felicidad en abundancia, al mismo tiempo que comparte sus preocupaciones por su explosiva presencia en redes sociales.

Nos pusimos al día con Patricia en LAX, quien interpretó a la mamá de Gypsy, Dee Dee Blanchard, en la serie de 2019 "The Act" y le preguntamos qué pensaba sobre la atención que rodea a Gypsy, y ella piensa que toda su carrera como influencer parece demasiado.

Básicamente, la ganadora del Oscar dice que el circo mediático que rodea a Gypsy Rose no es lo que ella hubiera querido para ella, pero agrega que no le corresponde decir si Gypsy está disfrutando de la atención pública o no.

Patricia Arquette's got a soft spot for Gypsy Rose Blanchard ... wishing her peace and happiness galore -- while sharing concerns about her exploding social media presence.

We caught up with Patricia -- who played Gypsy's mom, Dee Dee Blanchard, in the 2019 series "The Act" -- at LAX and asked what she thought of all the attention surrounding Gypsy, and she says she thinks her whole influencer career seems like a lot.

Basically, the Oscar winner says the media circus surrounding GRB isn't what she might've wanted for her ... but adds it's not her place to say if Gypsy's enjoying the spotlight.

O.J. Simpson ha sido oficialmente cremado y parece que solo estuvo presente un selecto grupo de personas, incluyendo su abogado, ahora convertido en albacea de su patrimonio.

Malcolm LaVergne confirma a TMZ que el cuerpo de su cliente por muchos años fue incinerado el miércoles en una instalación llamada Palm Mortuary en Las Vegas y dice que estuvo presente, al igual que algunos otros, aunque no quiso decir exactamente quiénes.

Nos dicen que la cremación se llevó a cabo esta mañana alrededor de las 10 AM. LaVergne dijo a AP que no había planes inmediatos para hacer un memorial público.

O.J. Simpson has officially been cremated -- and it sounds like there were only a select few people around to bear witness ... including his attorney-turned-executor of his estate.

Malcolm LaVergne confirms to TMZ that his longtime client's body was burned to ashes Wednesday at a facility called Palm Mortuary in Las Vegas ... and he says he was present, as were some others, although he wouldn't say exactly who.

We're told the cremation went down this morning around 10 AM. LaVergne told AP there were no immediate plans for a public memorial.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's marriage hit rocky waters after a post-prison phone call from her ex-fiancé -- something we now know her estranged husband finds awfully suspicious.

Here's the deal ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ that Gypsy's stepmother, Kristy, received a call from Gypsy's ex, Ken Urker, sometime in January -- right around the time the first season of her Lifetime show aired, and we're told he wanted to clear the air.

Our sources say Ken told Kristy he wanted to clarify the reason he'd broken things off with GRB a few years back. At the time, reports said he didn't like the newfound fame she was getting ... but we're told he explained he just wanted to give Gypsy space to grow.

O.J. Simpson's attorney is doing an about-face on a statement he made last week in which he said the Goldmans would get zip from his late client's estate in the wake of his death.

Malcolm LaVergne -- the executor of O.J.'s will, and his longtime lawyer -- told THR that he might've been a little overzealous in what he initially said on this topic ... namely, that he'd fight tooth and nail to make sure the Goldmans received zero dollars from O.J.'s estate.

He says, "I can tell you in advance, Fred Goldman's claim will be accepted. And his claim will be handled in accordance with Nevada law."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ryan Anderson got into a major fight about his food hoarding ways before splitting up ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Gypsy Rose tell TMZ … she wasn't fully aware of Ryan's hoarding issues regarding food before moving in with him after her release from prison. We're told this caused tension for the couple in the 2-bedroom apartment they shared.

Ryan allegedly collects and keeps food items in bulk, which GRB wasn't feeling.

Sales of O.J. Simpson's "If I Did It" book have exploded since the infamous star's death, with the publication skyrocketing to the top of the charts.

76-year-old O.J. died on Wednesday -- a day before the public found out -- when the Simpson family announced the news ... and reignited interest in the grizzly, 1994 double murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

According to Amazon.com, the world's largest bookseller, "If I Did It" sits in the number 1, 2, and 4 spots (different versions of the book -- audio, abridged, unabridged) in the entire Criminology section. It's also number 8 in the Murder/True Crime section.

O. J. Simpson habló con muchos amigos cercanos y miembros de la familia en sus últimos días, pero no hizo ninguna confesión sobre los asesinatos antes de dar su último respiro.

Por supuesto, apenas se supo la noticia de su muerte la gente empezó a especular si había hablado sobre los asesinatos de su ex mujer Nicole Brown Simpson y Ron Goldman. Habría sido la escena perfecta de una película, lo que claramente ayudó a alimentar el rumor, pero una fuente con conocimiento directo nos dice que es solo eso ... Un rumor.

Preguntamos si había pasado algo así y una fuente lo calificó de "totalmente falso".

O.J. Simpson spoke to many close friends and family members in his last days, but he did not make any confessions about the murders before succumbing to cancer.

Of course, almost as soon as news broke of his death, people wondered if he'd spoken at all about the slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. It does play like the perfect movie scene, which clearly helped fuel the rumor -- but a source with direct knowledge tells us it's just that ... a rumor.

We asked if anything like that happened, and one source called it "totally false."

O.J. Simpson's death has sparked new interest in his memorabilia ... one collectibles store in Las Vegas tells TMZ.

Company Inscriptagraphs tells us ... they've been hit with an increase in web traffic and sales hours after O.J.'s death was confirmed by his family. We're told the owner even opened the store early due to the high demand.

40 sales were made the morning after O.J.'s death from items ranging from $150-$2,000 in pricing -- and Inscriptagraphs is planning to add more inventory to its already impressive collections. The business is located in Tivoli Village ... minutes away from where O.J. lived in Sin City.
