Simpson Interview to Plug Book

Fox will air a TV special on November 27th featuring former American hero and mediocre actor, O.J Simpson. He speaks in the interview with Judith Regan, the publisher of his new book "If I Did IT" which hits bookstores a few days after the interview, how convenient.

The interview is anticipated to be somewhat of a summary of the book, and Simpson is expected to talk about the murder of his ex-wife and her friend 12 years ago under the cover of a hypothetical approach. Reportedly, Simpson was paid a $3.5 million for the book, according to the National Enquirer, which first reported its existence last month.

Orenthal James Simpson, publicly known by his initials as O. J., and nicknamed The Juice, is considered one of the greatest running backs of all time. Simpson is most recognizable for being charged with the murder of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994. He was acquitted in criminal court in 1995 after a highly publicized trial. Later, in 1997, Simpson was found liable for their deaths in civil court.
