O.J. Trying To Keep His Publicity Rights

O.J. Simpson wants a court to dismiss a petition that seeks the publicity rights to his name, image and likeness to pay millions of dollars owed to relatives of his slain ex-wife and her friend.

In subsequent court papers seeking its dismissal, Simpson argued that he is not subject to matters in the California court because he lives in Florida.

If Simpson's publicity rights were reassigned, Fred Goldman conceivably would be allowed to "disparage his image on billboards across the country," Simpson's court papers argued, adding "this is absurd."

Goldman's petition said Simpson has made money from autographs and appearances but hasn't paid a dime of the estimated $38 million owed as a result of the 1997 wrongful death suit and interest.

We wonder if O.J. loses his rights, will Goldman take over his show?
