Goldman Family Talk to Oprah About Publishing 'If I Did It'

If you remember, I wrote a post awhile ago about the Goldman's decision to publish O.J.'s If I Did It book. Well, Fred Goldman, the father of victim Ron Goldman, and his daughter Kim appeared on The Oprah Winfrey show to explain why they have decided to publish this controversial book. It looks like my theory was right in that they were preventing O.J. from any earnings while at the same time satisfying part of the settlement they won. Denise Brown isn't happy about it and wouldn't appear on Oprah with the Goldman's. That's understandable since she won't be getting any of the money from the book either. But Oprah herself says she won't buy the book because it's 'blood money'. I think she needs to lighten up because it's not blood money when its okay with the victims family. Why isn't the Brown family getting anything from the sales of the book since they also sued O.J. in a wrongful death suit? I guess the Goldman's beat them to it.

Here's a picture of the new cover:

Maureen McCormick Writes a Book

Maureen McCormick, the actress who played Marcia on The Brady Bunch, has written a memoir called Here's the Story. It will be published by HarperEntertainment in 2008. Maureen's book will be about growing up as a child actress and her struggles with eating disorders, drug addiction and depression. You can read the whole article at The Book Standard.

As a person who grew up watch The Brady Bunch re-runs in the '70's, I am most interested in reading this book and I'm looking forward to it. I never knew she had so many demons but it's so common with child actors, it seems. Hopefully her story has a happy ending for her.
