Ruby Wax has recalled the moment OJ Simpson (pictured together on left in 1998) 'more or less' confessed to killing his former wife in what he claimed was an April Fool's joke. Wax met with Simpson after he was famously acquitted in 1994 of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson (pictured inset with Simpson in 1993) and her friend Ron Goldman. The TV personality alleges that after the pair had finished filming a documentary in 1998 that Simpson phoned her up on April 1st and said: 'It's OJ, I did it. April Fools!' She claims he immediately hung up after the declaration, adding that the ex NFL star was 'more of less telling me what he had done'. Her recollection of the call comes as a morbid video of Simpson pretending to stab Wax (right) during the 1998 BBC interview has resurfaced in the wake of his death.

The football legend and controversially acquitted murderer, 78, had the podcast hosts in hysterics as he joked about 'confessing' in one of his final appearances before his death. He made the remark on an episode of the 'It Is What It Is' podcast, after being asked about Shaquelle O'Neal claiming that 'men shouldn't open up to women [because] they'll use it against them.' 'When you say 'open up to women,' I don't know what he's talking about,' Simpson said with a smile. 'Is he talking about confessing? Then no man, don't confess.' The quip drew raucous laughter from the podcast hosts, however many saw it in a different light and felt he was making a 'mockery' of the murders that he was found civilly liable for.

Scrimping on manicures, sharing main courses - and Scotland rather than the Hamptons: The inside guide to how the wealthy are weathering the Big Squeeze this summer (hankies at the ready…)

It's only a few weeks into summer, and I'm already irriated. I am nostalgic for happier times when thrones continue to pour rain and tourists come for directions to Knightsbridge's nearest shisha bar. Times when one door (at my boys' school, when they broke up for summer) meant another opening (at the British Airways first or business-class lounge in Terminal 5). The good old days, when my mortgage payment was not so easily confused with my phone number and I had disposable money to squander, were the good days.

RUBY WAX: My husband panders to all my whims as I became the crazy woman in pyjamas

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 22, 2023
RUBY WAX: Let me tell you a little about my television experience. My father used to tell me that when I failed in the acting 'nonsense' (as he put it) that I'd set my heart on, he'd set me up with a small linen store in Evanston, Illinois. The reason I wanted to be on television was because I knew I'd never have to go home to my parents if I could just keep myself on the air. So I bulldozed my way into television and a 25-year series. I toured the world filming documentaries. I don't remember asking for permission at the BBC. I just shot year after year.

RUBY WAX: A memoir of weeks in a mental institution

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 21, 2023
BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG! In my ears, the sound rings on forever. Some young man wearing an apron like a butcher, not a doctor, pulls what seems to be a bathing cap over my head and straps it under my chin. Over me, something that looks like a 1950s salon hairdryer is gradually reduced. The banging ensues, fast, tense, and brutal - 18 pulses are fired every second, 55 times per session. That's a lot of zaps. I am so sick that I don't care. Despite the fact that the bangs are quite offensive, I don't bother about it. This is nothing if you've had Botox. Recranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy (rTMS) is a therapy that I'm getting. The banging has allegedly generated trillions of new neural connections that can be used to jump-start the brain. It's like speed-dating for neurons. According to the doctor, the grotesque gurn that has appeared on my face indicates that it is doing its job.
