There's only one thing keeping us interested in the OJ Simpson trial, you know - and that's good old fashioned acute myocardial infarction. Just a few days after one witness in the OJ Simpson trial called a halt to proceedings because he was too busy clutching his chest and gasping for air, another witness has decided to blame everything on his dodgy heart, too. OJ Simpson's co-defendant Charles Ehrlich says that he can't really remember the Las Vegas hotel room raid in much detail because he's had a couple of heart attacks and they've made him all forgetful. Whoever came up with this heart attack idea is a genius, because now we don't know what the hell's going on at all. Except for one thing - if OJ Simpson really wants to be found innocent, he should be sure to slowly cough his own heart up and out into his hands if he ever has to testify. It's probably the only way.
Every good trial needs a breakout star, and in the case of the OJ Simpson armed robbery trial we're pretty sure that star is Bruce Fromong. Bruce Fromong became the headline attraction of the OJ Simpson trial on Monday, when it looked as if his heart was literally going to explode in his chest during his testimony. But yesterday Bruce Fromong got to do exactly what he came to do - testify against OJ Simpson by contradicting himself as many times as humanly possible. According to Bruce Fromong, he wasn't scared when OJ Simpson burst into his hotel room, but he did fear for his life. Also, although he wasn't trying to profit from his OJ Simpson memorabilia, he did want to make big money from it. Keep this up and Bruce Fromong's going to end up as the world's favourite feeble-hearted flip-flopping uncle.
This OJ Simpson trial is boring - no witnesses have even stopped their testimonies to clutch their chest in fear of an impending heart attack yet. What's that? They have? In fact, one of the first witnesses in the entire OJ Simpson armed robbery and kidnapping trial clutched his chest in the middle of his testimony thinking he was going to have a heart attack because that's how scary even the thought of OJ Simpson is to him? Oh, right, sorry. However, this seems like a massive misstep on the part of the prosecutors. Deploying the witness with the weakest heart at the start of the OJ Simpson trial? The jury's bound to forget about that when it comes to deliberation time. Either the prosecutors have blown their big chance to convict OJ Simpson or there's another star witness who'll come on at the end, spontaneously combust, pop his eyeballs out and poo fire. We'll just have to wait and see.
The only time Kelsey Grammer had previously been associated with a sense of impending doom was when people heard he was going to be an X-Man. But that changed in Hawaii this weekend, when Frasier star Kelsey Grammer suffered a heart attack. Don't panic, though - it was the just the normal kind of mild heart attack that you'd expect from someone with a history of cocaine and alcohol addiction, and Kelsey Grammer is currently recovering in an undisclosed hospital. Reports that David Hyde Pierce has also had a mild heart attack that was more pernickity and gay-seeming, just to make Kelsey Grammer's mild heart attack look more normal are rubbish. Seriously, we made them up just now.
You wanna be in his gang? No thanks, Gary Glitter!
Not only may we be lead into one of your paedophile rings, but we may also be appropriated to suffer a shame-induced acute myocardial infarction at a mere 63 years young, just like your randy, goat-bearded self.
In fact, you and your gang can go and take a jump!

OK - Jeopardy! round one: A type of acute coronary syndrome, most frequently a manifestation of coronary artery disease, with symptoms including chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea and a feeling of impending doom.
The answer we were looking for was, of course 'what is Alex Trebek's recent heart attack?' Alex Trebek, the 67-year-old host of the American gameshow Jeopardy!, has been hospitalised after suffering a minor heart attack on Monday night, it has been announced. Don't worry, though - Alex Trebek is resting well and plans to continue his Jeopardy!-hosting duties in January, although just to play it safe Trebek has decided to delay the introduction of some new high-risk Jeopardy! categories, like Sudden Loud Noises and Red Meats Covered In Inch-Thick Coats Of Margarine That Alex Trebek Is Eating Without Chewing Properly First.
