The news of O.J. Simpson’s death has brought up many questions about the former NFL star.
One of those questions concerns his children, who have spent most of their lives avoiding the spotlight.
O.J.’s children were thrust into a media frenzy when he was accused of brutally killing Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
After a high-profile trial, where O.J. was acquitted, and his children were forced to bear the brunt of public scrutiny, those close to his kids worked to give them a life of privacy.
Now, as O.J.’s death puts those kids back in the limelight, it’s time to learn more about them.
Here’s what we know about O.J.’s five children.

Dungeons & Dragons has played a big role (pardon the pun) on Stranger Things since its very first episode. The show’s central four youths Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin) all enjoy the role-playing game that utilizes its players’ imaginations to create one sprawling fantasy quest. Many of Stranger Things’ mystical villains have even had their names borrowed from the game with monsters getting monikers like the Demogorgon, the Mind Flayer, and in season 4: Vecna.
In Stranger Things season 4, however, Dungeons & Dragons takes on a more threatening context. In the season’s first episode, the D&d playing Hellfire Club makes note of an article conflating the game with devil worship. After that it becomes clear that the Hawkins community at large starts to view these harmless nerds with some suspicion. The notion that a childrens’ game...

I’ve been revisiting a lot of older films lately that I have vague memories of, and it’s been a lot of fun talking about them and sharing them with you. There are actually a lot more people than I thought that are familiar with some of these movies, which is cool! For those of you who haven’t seen these movies, then now you know to add them to your list of films to watch!
Today I’ve got a fun one for you. Maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe you haven’t, but it’s a fun flick worth checking out! It’s a 1982 sci-fi time travel western called Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann. The movie was directed by William Dear, and it stars Fred Ward as Lyle Swann, a cross country dirt bike racer who travels back in time.

Twitter was divided on Thursday as people voiced their approval — or disappointment — over Sen. Al Franken’s resignation amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.
Much like Franken himself did in his emotional Senate-floor speech, many tweeters pointed out the irony that the Minnesota Democrat was forced to resign over his alleged actions while other politicians who have been accused of sexual misconduct — including President Donald Trump and embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore — have not faced consequences. (Trump and Moore have denied the allegations against them.)

Hanukkah will be part of A Christmas Story Live!, Fox’s upcoming live musical event.
“They’ve written a really fun Hanukkah number. The music is fantastic,” Ana Gasteyer told Et at the Double Standards concert in New York City on Sunday benefiting women's rights, health and empowerment. “Even though A Christmas Story is clearly a Christmas story -- it’s fun to have a Hanukkah song join the ranks of the Christmas songs in the musical. I think everybody felt like it can really be a holiday experience.”
The Saturday Night Live alum will play Mrs. Schwartz in the production, inspired by the 1983 holiday classic feature film A Christmas Story and Ben Pasek and Justin Paul’s 2012 Broadway adaptation. It follows the exploits of youngster Ralphie Parker, who spends most of his time dodging a bully and dreaming of his ideal Christmas gift: a "red Ryder air rifle."

Sean Spicer may have been the most sought-after selfie at the 2017 Emmy Awards following his surprise appearance, but James Corden got some backlash for taking a photo where he jokingly kissed the former White House press secretary on the cheek.
Corden addressed the criticism on Monday’s episode of The Late Late Show — with humor.
“The big winners last night were Donald Glover, Hulu and former White House press secretary Sean Spicer,” the host said in his opening monologue. “Spicer won best actor in a comedy for his role in Donald Trump’s administration.”
He continued, “I’m kidding, of course.

Dear President Trump,
On a recent Saturday, as you were watching your first movie in the White House, an unprecedented wave of protests swept across the country in opposition to your decision to impose a ban on visitors from seven predominantly Muslim nations.
I am not going to focus on the striking irony of foreign travelers being detained in the U.S. airports as you were enjoying Pixar’s “Finding Dory,” the story of a migrant fish detained in this country and aided by aquatic friends of different colors to find her parents.
Instead, I would like to bring to your attention an event of a smaller scale that was eclipsed by the news of the national uproar over your travel ban: the limited opening of an Iranian film, “The Salesman,” inspired by an American play to rave reviews and strong box office numbers.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong...

Sunday’s premiere, “The Six Thatchers,” not only delivers lots of action and laughs (mostly at Sherlock’s expense)… but a truly shocking twist for one of the show’s main characters.
First things first: We need to clean up that whole mess of Sherlock killing Charles Augustus Magnussen in cold blood in “His Last Vow.” Mycroft informs his government cronies that Sherlock’s role in Magnussen’s death will never leave the room, and reveals doctored surveillance footage that exonerates his brother.
