Like this. Now for july 20, 2017, this is entertainment tonight. O. J. Simpson is going to be a free man. Thanks so much for joining us, everybody. Today was like 1995 all oev again when america was glued to their tv sets. Back then they were glued to the trial of the century. The hearing lived up to its billing michelle. The last parole hearing only lasted 15 minutes. This one an hour and a half. It worked. He will be a free man in october. Mr. Simpson i do vote to grant parole. O. J. Fought back tears. Hell be released on october 1st. Thats 737 day frs today. Simpson who is 70 years old was in considerably better shape than his last parole hearing. Ive been here nine years making no excuses about anything. I am sorry things turned out the way they did. I would never pull a weapon on anybody. Simpson who was acquitted of double murder in 1995 was convicted in an Armed Robbery case involving Sports Memorabilia in nevada in 2008. This morning o. J. s mood went from calm to contentious. You believe the property was yours. Its been ruled by the state of california and theyve given it to me. E. T. Watched the hearing with cato kay lynn. I thought he was going to be paroled. Its not a shock to me or a sur triez surprise to me at all. Strange to hear his voice. It really is. Its a distinctive o. J. Voice, and its chilling. Simpson will serve the minimum nine years of a 33year sentence. Ive done my time. I would like to get back to my family and friends. Believe it or not, i have real friends. As for whats next with o. J. , cato hopes he will stay away from the spotlight. I think my opinion is he has the biggest break of his life because i thought he was guilty in the murder trial, and i think he is getting out of this, and he is going to go down to florida and be with his kids and family and never be seen again. I dont think thats whats going to happen. We shall see. Now we also have some sad news to report. E. T. Has learned linkin park front man, chester bennington, has died of an apparent suicide. Now he performed at Chris Cornells funeral last may, and today would have been chris 53rd birthday. He hanged himself at his l. A. Home, and he was struggling with drug and alcohol addictions throughout his life. He was married and is survived by six children. I cant escape the gra vity he had a string of hits over the careers, and their debut album sold more than 10 million copies. Chester bennington was 41 years old. So tragic. All right, well now ben affleck and the latest with his new lady love. They are together in new york city, and check out ben. He returned to the place where the sparks first began to fly. Ben was playful with paparazzi as he and Lindsay Shookus walked into the offices of 30 rock. Snl is where they first met. He hosted five times when she was the producer. At 8 30 last night, ben and lindsay checked out of the hotel where they spent the last two days together. This is the same place ben and Jennifer Garner stayed in 2005 when jen was pregnant with their first child, daughter violet. He flew home to california, and lindsay was seen with her ex, kevin miller. Only we have the photos of the amicable exes walking with their 4yearold daughter before school. Lindsay was seen laughing and half an hour later, the 37yearold producer went for a ride. When it came to answering questions about ben, lindsay might be using the talk on the phone to avoid talking to the paparazzi trick. Its what most celebs use. Do you want to dispel any of the rumors about you and ben and when you started . Im on the phone. Oh. Have a lovely day. She is learning fast. Our first stop . San diego, and Kevin Frazier has news about kevin hart has overshadowed comic con. Was he caught cheating on his wife, and the internet is exploding over this. Kev . He is accused of cheating on his pregnant wife after he was caught on camera allegedly with another woman. I talked to kevin about the allegation. When youre feeling down and depressed, you put on a happy shirt. This video was talking outside of a Miami Beach Hotel on july 3rd. Its fueling the story. Kevin is sitting in the passenger seat inside a parked white lexus sudan. He is turned around talking to a female who is in the backseat. At some point, another woman wearing a halter top does emerge from the front passenger seat as kevin stands outside the car. Radar online claims they were hooking up after partying together. I talked to kevin and he said its not true. I asked him why was he out at 5 00 a. M. . He said its miami, and the club closes at 6 00. I was going home early. Im a good husband. Kevin has been accused of cheating by his first wife, that claimed eniko was his mistress, and kevin has been open and honest about the situation and about his part in their split.

I have a good woman that makes me happy. He seems very genuinely in love. He definitely does. Kevin has been called the hardest working man in show business, but i dont know. I think it might be Ryan Seacrest, because he has signed on to host a new American Idol. I dont think he sleeps. He is making money, that man. He spoke about going back to his old gig while working his other tv job with kelly ripa. I dont know if you have ever been in a 15year relationship and then for a reason that you really dont now, you break up, and i thought, gosh. It would be great to get back together at some point. After three months of negotiations, seacrest is finally return to the show that made him a star. This is American Idol. Today, katy perry, the only confirmed idol judge tweeted, im spicy.
