Culture: OJ’s confession is just a dream of Oprah’s, not reality

  • claim Some sources (looking at you, ever-trustworthy Daily Mail) have reported that Oprah landed the ultimate PR stunt for her new network — a confession from OJ Simpson in the 1994 murder of his wife. We posted this earlier, but admit that we took it with a pretty big grain of salt.

Music: Kanye’s back to what he does best: Priceless quotes

He referred to Michael Phelps and Michael Jackson in the same context. West also spoke of a Thom Yorke snub at the Grammys, a snub that made him sad because dude’s a big fan of Radiohead. • source
