O.J. Simpson, a tabloid staple since his acquittal and subsequent civil-court conviction for his wife’s murder 11 years ago, has been stirring up quite a few mini media frenzies lately. First, he tried to publish If I Did It, a macabre, “hypothetical” account of how he would have killed Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman had he done it. The book is now controlled by Goldman’s family and on its second printing, with the “If” in the title dramatically reduced.

At the moment, Simpson is sitting in jail for allegedly leading an armed heist to reclaim what he says were stolen personal effects from the Las Vegas hotel room of a well-known memorabilia dealer.

And what has this got to do with Anna Nicole Smith?

Well, O.J. was tipped off by Thomas Riccio, an ex-con and well-known memorabilia dealer. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that this is the same guy who sold Anna Nicole Smith’s diaries for $500,000 and tried to sell a video of Smith’s breast enhancement surgery.
