OJ Simpson's Assets Frozen

A federal judge yesterday temporarily froze movement of O.J. Simpson's assets until he decides the fate of a bid by murder victim Ron Goldman's family to get the dough the ex-football star was paid for his failed "If I Did It" book and TV deal. They contend he unlawfully funneled his estimated $1 million paycheck to a dummy corporation to duck paying them and other creditors, including American Express. Simpson owes a $33.5 million wrongful death judgment to the heirs of Goldman and his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson because a civil jury found him responsible for their slashing deaths in 1994. He was acquitted of criminal murder charges.

Whitney Houston Loses Storage Locker

Whitney Houston is so messed up right now. A storage company in New Jersey says Whitney hasn't paid the bill since 2005 and they are auctioning off all her stuff. You can get all kinds of stuff. It's mostly stage stuff...costumes, music equipment, sets..... and....and..... some of Bobby Brown's music awards! The auction is open to the public, but only for qualified buyers, so if you ain't got a grip, don't show up. Anything over the $200,000.00 owned goes back to Whitney.
