Essay 4248


If I Did It in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• A federal judge did it, giving the rights of O.J. Simpson’s “If I Did It” book to the family of murder victim Ron Goldman. Which means Fred Goldman will do it, arranging new publishing and broadcast deals to help offset the $33.5 million wrongful death judgment secured by the family in 1997—and O.J. doesn’t get diddley.

• Jay-Z insists he didn’t do it, asking a federal judge to drop a lawsuit against him. Employees at Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club in New York charge they’re being underpaid. But the music mogul insists he’s a shareholder, not an employer—therefore, he’s not responsible for payroll at the establishment. So the employees aren’t even likely to get 40/40 acres and a mule.
