Jessica is allegedly due sometime this spring with her first child with fiancee Eric Johnson.

“Man on a Ledge”: Did OJ Simpson Confess to the writer?

By Roger Friedman

TrendPK.com: This week’s main offering at the movies is “Man on a Ledge”–described as “ludicrous” by some critics and certainly not an Oscar nominee. (It was a lowly 20% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is like an F.) It’s January, of course, and if you couldn’t release a movie by December 31st, you know what January means. But “Man on a Ledge” has another reason of interest. Its screenwriter is Pablo Fenjves. Don’t recognize his name? He ghost wrote O.J. Simpson’s infamous confessional book, “If I Did It,” which outlined how O.J. murdered in cold blood his ex wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman.

The ironic part of that is that Fenjves, creepily, was a witness in the Simpson murder trial. He was the neighbor who testified he’d heard a dog’s plaintive wail near Nicole Brown’s house in Brentwood. Did OJ do it? Well, a civil jury said he did, and of course OJ is in jail for something else. Is he metaphorically the man on the ledge in the new movie? Deciphering hidden meanings may be the only reason to see this film, which I keep confusing with a mostly unreleased film from last year called “The Ledge.”

Here’s my exclusive 2007 interview with Fenjves:

Pablo Fenjves, author of O.J. Simpson’s controversial book, “If I Did It,” says the book’s original publisher told him it was a confession.

Fenjves writes in a prologue to the book, obtained by this column exclusively, that Judith Regan, then of ReganBooks/HarperCollins, told him:

“He wants to confess, and I’m being assured it’s a confession. But this is the only way he’ll do it.”

The book, which was canceled by HarperCollins and is today being published by Beaufort Books after a court battle, now belongs to the family of Ronald Goldman. A civil jury found Simpson responsible for the 1994 slayings of Goldman and Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. A criminal jury acquitted him of murder charges.

Ironically, Fenjves, who was hired by the publisher to write the book with Simpson, had been a witness in the murder case. He was one of Nicole’s neighbors, and had heard what he describes as the “plaintive wail” of her dog that night after the murders occurred.

The book, which hit stores Thursday, is approximately 60,000 words long. But readers will be mostly interested in a 10,000-word section in which Simpson describes with brutal detachment how — “if” he did it — he killed the pair in cold blood while a companion, named “Charlie,” stood by and watched.

“Charlie,” if Simpson is telling truth, was a new friend at the time and not his best buddy A.C. Cowlings or anyone else from the parade of clowns who occupied America’s TVs and media in 1994-95.

Fenjves writes that he doesn’t believe there was a “Charlie” and that Simpson was alone on the night in question.

While Simpson’s account lines up pretty well with evidence presented in the trial, it’s Fenjves’ prologue that actually says more about the entire episode.

At one point early on in their discussions, Simpson says to the writer, “I don’t know what the hell you want from me. I’m not going to tell you that I sliced my ex-wife’s neck and watched her eyes roll up into her head.”

That Simpson could even speak so dispassionately and violently about his ex-wife and mother of two of his children should sound alarms for those who think “If I Did It” is fiction or a hypothesis.

What’s really alarming is that those two children, Sydney and Justin, now in their late teens, don’t seem to care or understand what their father did to their mother.

When Simpson first was going to sell the book and make money from it, they signed off on an agreement to form a dummy corporation in which they would profit from the proceeds.

Fenjves recalls in his prologue that at one point, Simpson wanted the chapter about the murders to come out of the manuscript. “I hate that f—ing chapter,” he told the writer, but was reminded that it was the reason he’d sold the book. Fenjves observes that Simpson never said it was untrue or imagined.

Simpson did ask for one detail to be removed, however. He originally told Fenjves that Nicole’s Akita, named Kato for their perennial houseguest Kato Kaelin, had wagged its tail when O.J. saw it greet Goldman moments before the murder.

It was a telling detail, Fenjves thought, that Simpson had noticed the dog was familiar with Goldman. No one had ever heard anything like that before. Simpson must have realized that, too.

The ex-football superstar wasn’t stupid, though. He told Fenjves after the manuscript was completed that he’d made some mistakes on purpose in the telling of the murders.

“I treated it as fiction,” he said. “I purposefully didn’t correct some of the mistakes, because if the time comes that I have to defend myself, I can say, ‘Hey look, it can’t be me because that couldn’t have happened.’”

Fenjves says Simpson cited removing his shoes but not his socks, the fact that he would have had to scale a 10-foot chain-link fence to get from the tennis court to the guesthouse and that no one had ever seen him on a golf course with a knit-cap and gloves.

He also told Fenjves he’d never known any “Charlie.” The author felt at this point that Simpson was backtracking, and reading to him over the phone from a prepared script.

It didn’t matter. The book was written, and HarperCollins was set to publish it. Of course, that didn’t happen. The book was cancelled and the Goldmans went to court and won the rights to it as part of their civil judgment against Simpson.

Thursday, with obvious reluctance and distaste, Oprah Winfrey interviewed Ron Goldman’s dad, Fred, and his sister, Kim, on her show. According to sources, she was supposed to discuss this prologue and also an afterward written by Dominick Dunne.

None of that came up. Instead, Oprah appeared to be angry with the Goldmans for publishing the book. In a later segment, she told Nicole’s sister Denise Brown that she wasn’t even going to read it.

The whole thing was very strange, and Oprah — who is usually on the side of the angels — came off badly.

One thing mentioned on Winfrey’s show — that the Goldmans would see only 17 cents per book from sales. Winfrey was skeptical and asked what kind of book deal they had gotten.

In fact, sources tell me that if the Goldmans have figured out their profits to 17 cents, it’s because over 13 years they’ve accrued mounting legal fees and debts for which they were not prepared.

“Fred Goldman was never rich,” says the source. “He works for Nordstrom.”

Winfrey, on the other hand, accepted at face value many of Denise Brown’s ridiculous statements. She didn’t ask her where all the money has gone from the charity that was set up in her sister’s name. She also didn’t bat an eyelash when Denise described Nicole as a good mother because she let her kids mess up her brand new Ferrari.

One thing about Denise … she’s not good at mustering much sympathy for her late, hard-partying sister.

Jessica Simpson may be a bridesmaid, best friend engaged

TrendPK.com: Jessica Simpson may be busy planning her wedding, but it looks like she might have to help her best friend plan hers as well.

Simpson’s good friend, Cacee Cobb, has just announced she is engaged to longtime beau and ‘Scrubs’ actor Donald Faison, states RadarOnline.com.

“If you like it you better put a Ring on it.- Beyonce,” Faison posted on Twitter.

The two have been dating for almost six years now. Faison has previously commented that he wasn’t sure about marriage, but it seems he has gotten over that issue.

Jessica Simpson – The Fashion Mogul

Jessica Simpson launched her own fashion collection in 2007 and already she’s breaking records with its success. This year her fashion line is set to make $1billion! Jessica Simpson is now the highest earning celebrity in the fashion business. New York magazine featured Jessica on the cover and inside she is quoted to say;

“I never thought I’d be some fashion mogul!

Initially her collection included handbags, shoes and boots but now it includes cosmetics, watches, clothing, luggage, swimwear and of course her own fragrance. The Jessica Simpson Collection is now in the same financial league as fashion designers such as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Vera Wang.

Jessica says that her range doesn’t focus on trends but rather on ‘basics’. It’s been said by sources close to Jessica that she is a sharp business woman, with a great work ethic and that much of her success is knowing what women want.

Jessica Simpson Pregnant

Jessica Simpson Pregnant, Word on The Curb has it that Jessica Simpson is desperate to get pregnant by her boyfriend of four months, former NFL ace Eric Johnson. That is if a new scoop from the celeb gawkers at The National Enquirer is to be believed.

This sounds like an excellent plan, Jess. (A pause while Castina slaps forehead!)

“Jessica is crazy in love with Eric, so they’ve decided to make a baby. She always said she wanted to be pregnant by the time she was 30,” a chatty friend of one-half of The Singing Simpson Sister blabs in the Sept. 27 issue of the tab. “Her priorities have changed and all she can think of is motherhood,” the pal adds. “She’s happily eating for two – and she’s not in the least embarrassed.”

That’s a great reason to rush into motherhood –- a self-imposed deadline. Four months! We bet she hasn’t even farted in front of him yet and she’s already planning a baby? Girl, this just reeks of desperation. Even for Jessica. Have we learned nothing from the public relations nightmare that was The John Mayer/Dane Cook Years? And will you just take a look at the winner she’s selected to sperminated her lady parts!

On paper, former San Franciso 49er Johnson hardly seems father material. The ex-athlete was still married until earlier this year and has no job. Not that unemployment would matter to Jessica. The busty bombshell reportedly earned around $30 million last year from her clothing and shoe lines – and launched the Jessica Simpson Denim Collection at New York Fashion Week earlier this month.

(No, we don’t know who would buy that stuff either. But apparently people do. Lots of people.)

Another Simpson source spills the scoop that the star may already be with child. Not only is she already on the hunt for baby clothes and nursery decor, Jess is packing on the pounds at a rate that would make Gabourey Sidibe blush. She’s gone from 125 lbs. earlier this summer to a healthy 140.

“A pregnancy explains her sudden weight gain,” Pal No. 2 gushes. “Two months ago, she bragged she was in the best shape of her life on Eric’s vegan diet…The biggest tipoff though is that Jess has been hinting to friends that there will be some big news any day from her and Eric.”

Boy, does this chile need a healthy dose of good advice. So her goes: Jess, we implore you to think. Just think, ‘What would Papa Joe do?’ Got it? Now do the opposite.

Marge Simpson Poses for Playboy Cover

Marge Simpson Poses for Playboy Cover, Marge Simpson has done something that Homer might not like but will make Bart the proudest kid in his school: She’s posed for Playboy magazine.

After more than a half century featuring women like Marilyn Monroe, Cindy Crawford and the Girls of Hooters on its cover, Playboy has for the first time given the spot to a cartoon character.

And the magazine is giving the star of “The Simpsons” the star treatment, complete with a data sheet, an interview and a 2-page centerfold.

Marge Simpson Poses for Playboy Cover

The magazine’s editorial director, James Jellinek, won’t say exactly how much of Marge will show in the November edition that hits newsstands on Oct. 16 — or whether she lets that big pile of blue hair down. But, he said, “It’s very, very racy.”

But he stressed that the mother of three — the youngest a baby, by the way — has a lot to be proud of.

“She is a stunning example of the cartoon form,” he said on Friday at the magazine’s headquarters in Chicago, appearing both pleased and surprised at the words coming out of his mouth.

For Playboy, which has seen its circulation slip from 3.15 million to 2.6 million since 2006, putting Marge on the cover was designed to attract younger readers to a magazine where the median age of readers is 35, while not alienating older readers.

“We knew that this would really appeal to the 20-something crowd,” said Playboy spokeswoman Theresa Hennessey.

The magazine also hopes to turn the November issue into a collectors’ item by featuring Marge, sitting on a chair in the shape of the iconic Playboy bunny, on the cover of only the magazines sold in newsstands. Subscribers get a more traditional model on the cover.

“It’s so rare in today’s digital age where you have the opportunity to send people to the newsstand to pick something up,” Jellinek said.

Playboy even convinced 7-Eleven to carry the magazine in its 1,200 corporate-owned stores, something the company has only done once before in more than 20 years.

“We love Marge,” said 7-Eleven spokesman Margaret Chabris.

For those who do collect the magazine — and they’re out there — the cover will bring to mind another first for the magazine that occurred in 1971 when a black woman appeared on the cover in exactly the same pose and, like Marge, smiling under an impressive head of hair.

“We knew it was something all of our readers would get a kick out of,” said Hennessey.
