 *******QUOTE******* http://www.nypost.com/seven/06272007/gossip/pagesix/pagesix_u.htm.... "O.J. told me Judith Regan approached him and said to him, 'Do you mind if we write a book and put your name on it?' I said, 'I don't care. You can write anything you want, as long as you pay me,' " said promoter Norm Pardo, who's preparing a TV documentary about Simpson.
"O.J. would laugh, 'Can you believe they'd pay me to say I wrote something I didn't actually write?' A ghostwriter largely based the book on court transcripts from Simpson's trial," Pardo told Page Six. ....
Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, disputed Pardo, insisting ghostwriter Pablo Fenjves and Simpson sat down over "many hours and days," and that Simpson later corrected a completed manuscript.
Pardo, who shot footage of Simpson over six years, says Simpson "practiced crying" for his never-aired interview with Regan. "O.J. still thinks of himself of an actor," he said. Galanter responded: "I don't recall any crying." Regan's lawyer, Bert Fields, didn't get back to us. ....
Cameron Apology Falls Flat
NOT everyone buys Cameron Diaz's apology for traipsing around Peru carrying a bag emblazoned with a red star and the words "Serve the People," Communist icon Mao Zedong's most famous political slogan, printed in Chinese. Thor Halvorssen, president of the Human Rights Foundation, told Page Six, "It is bad enough that Diaz wears a bag quoting history's most prolific butcher, but what's even worse is that she is of Cuban heritage and really should know something about the true history of communism. There is a double standard here that boggles the mind: Had she worn a bag quoting Himmler or Pinochet, she would likely face career annihilation, and rightly so." While the Mao bag is ultrachic on the Upper West Side and college campuses, in Peru, the "Serve the People" slogan evokes memories of the bloodthirsty Shining Path terrorists who left nearly 70,000 dead. "I sincerely apologize to anyone I may have inadvertently offended," Diaz said in a statement. "The bag was a purchase I made as a tourist in China, and I did not realize the potentially hurtful nature of the slogan printed on it."
