If It Don’t Fit, You Must… American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson Official Trailer [Video]

American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson Official Trailer The trial of the century comes to TV courtesy of ‘American Horror Story’ producer Ryan Murphy and FX . American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, the first installment of the new limited series from prolific producer Ryan Murphy, will debut on FX in early 2016 with an all-star cast portraying the key figures in the infamous O.J. Simpson murder trial. The cast includes Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. Simpson, John Travolta as defense attorney Robert Shapiro, David Schwimmer as defense attorney Robert Kardashian, Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark, Courtney B. Vance as defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, and Bruce Greenwood as Los Angeles County District Attorney Gil Garcetti. Based on the book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, the limited series is a look at the O.J. Simpson trial told from the perspective of the lawyers. It explores the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court, and how a combination of prosecution overconfidence, defense shrewdness, and the LAPD’s history with the city’s African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt. Production of the FX limited series is currently underway in Los Angeles. Emmy® and Golden Globe® award winning producer and Emmy Award winning Director Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, The Normal Heart) directed the first episode and serves as Executive Producer, along with Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewski and Brad Falchuk. American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson is written by Golden Globe-winning producers Alexander and Karaszewski (Big Eyes, The People v. Larry Flynt). American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions. Will you be watching?? YT/FX

Family Affairs: Kris Jenner Hooks Lamar Odom Up With OJ Simpson Lawyer Robert Shapiro To Rep Him In DUI Case!

If Shapiro can get OJ off, this should be a breeze OJ Lawyer Robert Shapiro Will Rep Lamar Odom In His DUI Case According to TMZ reports : Lamar Odom needs some legal firepower after his DUI arrest, and its OJ Simpson’s lawyer Robert Shapiro to the rescue … TMZ has learned. Lamar has hired Shapiro in what promises to be a sticky situation. TMZ broke the story … Lamar was popped early Friday AM on the 101 Freeway … and cops believe he was under the influence of both drugs and booze. Shapiro is known for plea bargaining. These cases are pretty standard — he’ll probably plead no contest to one count of DUI and get probation. He’ll also be required to attend an alcohol ed class. And, since he refused to submit to a blood-alcohol test, he’ll automatically get his driver’s license yanked for 1 year. No getting around that. This has Kris Jenner’s paw prints all over it. She’s used Shapiro for other legal messes in the past — most recently Robert Kardashian Jr.’s criminal battery and theft case. Ironically, Kris’ ex-hubby, the late Robert Kardashian, repped OJ Simpson along with Shapiro. Kris was best friends with Nicole Brown Simpson and felt OJ was guilty as sin. Put down the bottle and the pipe, Lammy. Image via WENN Continue reading

Lindsay Lohan Spotted At Sober-Living Facility

Actress, who is slated to report to jail next Tuesday, was filmed entering rehab on Wednesday. By Gil Kaufman Less than a week before she’s scheduled to begin a 90-day jail sentence in Los Angeles, Lindsay Lohan has moved into a sober living facility, X17Online.com reports. The site claims that Lohan, 24, was spotted entering the facility in West Hollywood on Wednesday afternoon and was visited later in the day by her mother, sister and ex-girlfriend, DJ Samantha Ronson. In addition to the 90-day jail sentence for probation violation, Lohan was ordered to check into an in-patient rehab facility following her stint in jail. According to TMZ, the troubled actress is in the process of hiring famed O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Shapiro in an attempt to get her sentence either reduced or tossed out in favor of an immediate trip to rehab. Shapiro has not publicly confirmed that he is representing Lohan, and a spokesperson for the “Mean Girls” star could not be reached for comment at press time. Lohan is currently without a lawyer after attorney Shawn Chapman Holley quit last week. X17 posted videos purportedly showing Lohan checking into Pickford Lofts, a sober living facility started by Shapiro in the wake of his son’s drug overdose death in 2005. Another video shows the arrivals of her visitors throughout the day. Lohan, who has been in rehab several times in the past, has been lying low since her sentencing and the scandal that erupted thanks to an obscene message she had airbrushed on her fingernail before her court appearance. She did somewhat break her silence this week by engaging in a Twitter feud with comedian Joan Rivers and addiction specialist Dr. Drew. Do you think Lindsay’s latest move will save her from jail?
