Bad Seatmates: Talkative OJ Ruins Red-Eye

We've all been there: Seated next to the worst person on the plane. Just Monday Uncle Jesse (OK, John Stamos) found himself cursing his luck after getting harassed by a fellow passenger. At least he wasn't getting his ear chewed off by OJ Simpson.

The New York Post says The Juice was gabbing away on a Delta red-eye from Las Vegas to Fort Lauderdale after his sleeping pill failed to kick in. Weighing on Simpson's mind were his latest legal troubles, which our sis site HotelChatter has been following.

Also of interest to OJ was Dos Equis; Simpson wondered if it was truly authentic Mexican beer. He's also apparently a live music fan, and his favorite show ever was Stevie Wonder at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. OJ will be flying back to Nevada in a couple weeks for an arraignment, so you've still got time to switch those Florida to Vegas tickets from Delta to another carrier.

Louisville Steakhouse Is OJ Free

May 9, 2007 at 10:51 AM | 0 Comments

Jeff Ruby, owner of restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville, and Belterra, Indiana, has become a bit of a cult hero in Kentucky. Not because he served a great steak, but instead because he refused to serve O.J. Simpson at his surf and turf joint on derby eve.

Ruby said he found Simpson in the Churchhill room of his "Jeff Ruby's Louisville" steakhouse and told Simpson, "I'm not serving you."

After telling Simpson to leave, he said the former NFL football star was "classy" about it, rounded up his party and left.

Then, Ruby said, he went into the Churchill Room to be sure they were gone and people at other tables started standing. "They all got up and gave me a standing ovation, started applauding."

Sounds like the Courier-Journal may want to re-think their Jeff Ruby's restaurant review:

They're not quite perfect for romantic dining tête-à-tête, but Jeff Ruby's Louisville, an outpost of an idiosyncratic mini-chain of steakhouses based in Cincinnati, doesn't pretend to offer an intimate experience.

So if you are are looking for a steakhouse in Louisville, that is sure to be O.J. free, look no further.
