"O.J., this book will help. God loves and he will speak to you with his words. Read this book everyday. God has a definite plan for your life. You are his child and he will use you again. I love you and God loves you," the auction posted what they believed the transcription read.
Malcolm LaVergne, the special administrator of O.J.'s estate, told TMZ that he doesn't know who the lucky buyer is but noted that whether you loved Simpson or hated him, it's clear "his legacy endures."

The outlet reported that the estate's auction brought in an estimated $300,000 in sales, listing a number of other items that were sold, including a personally signed and framed photo of Simpson and former President Bill Clinton.
That image sold for over $18,000, while a replica of Simpson's 1968 Heisman Trophy sold for $42,700, the outlet reported.
Simpson won the Heisman Trophy in 1968 as a running back for the University of Southern California, and in 1973 he became the NFL's first running back to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a single season.

He earned the nickname "Juice" after an 11-year NFL career with the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers.
Simpson had an elite team of attorneys known as the "Dream Team" that included Johnnie Cochran, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Kardashian, Shawn Holley, Robert Shapiro and others. They ultimately convinced jurors of enough reasonable doubt to acquit Simpson in the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
Although the jury found Simpson not guilty of murder charges, his legal troubles continued for decades. He lost a civil lawsuit and was ordered to pay $33.5 million to the victims' families. He never paid most of it.
Simpson died after a private battle with prostate cancer on April 10, 2024.

Taylor Swift on Travis Kelce's podcast? Swifties think it's about to happen. Here's why
Travis and Jason Kelce are going to have a 'a special episode with a VERY special guest' on their 'New Heights' podcast this week. That's big news ... because that mystery guest can be only one person, right? Just to be clear, the person in question would be Travis Kelce's girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift. Kelce and Swift have been an item for roughly two years now. And while the 'Love Story' singer has become a fixture at NFL games to root for her beau, she has never appeared on the popular podcast the Kansas City Chiefs tight end hosts with his brother, a retired Philadelphia Eagles center. That could change in a couple of days, based on a tease posted on the 'New Heights' social media accounts Monday — and on Swifties' interpretations of the tease. The text is straightforward, simply informing fans of the special nature of the episode and the guest and noting it will drop Wednesday at 4 p.m. PDT. The real juicy bits, though — if Swift's fans are to be believed — are apparently found in the post's graphic. Over the years, Swifties have become pretty good at spotting and deciphering Easter Eggs, so here's what jumped out at the 'You Need to Calm Down' singer's diehard fans (based on observations they posted on social media and Reddit): 1. A silhouette of a slender person with long hair appears between images of the Kelce brothers, and naturally fans are convinced it can only be that of one particular slender woman with long hair. One commenter on X insists they can see Swift's bangs in the completely darkened image. 2. Jason Kelce appears to be wearing a shirt bearing Swift's image. Swifties are noting that the garment is from the Eras tour and that Travis is wearing one from that tour as well. This reporter, who did not attend the Eras tour, has no reason to doubt them on this. 3. The graphic's background color is orange and sparkly. This apparently is seen as a reference to a particular dress Swift wore during the Eras tour. (Although didn't she famously change her outfit more than a dozen times during each performance? Or so we've heard.) 4. Travis Kelce has a giant smile on his face. OK, sure, he has probably smiled numerous times during his life — like, say, maybe after at least one of the three Super Bowls he won with the Chiefs. But apparently he has a special grin reserved for the 'Lover' singer, which one X commenter refers to as his 'Tay smile.' There are many other observations — including several that involve numbers, math and calendar dates — all of which clearly add up not only to Swift being the podcast's 'VERY special guest' but also that she will be there to announce something else very special, like perhaps a new album. (Reminder: This is only a fan theory; please remain calm.) It wouldn't be the first time this summer that Swift has made an appearance during one of her boyfriend's projects. In June, she gave a surprise acoustic performance of her hit 'Shake It Off' at a concert linked to Kelce's Tight End University camp. Come to think of it, Swift was introduced onstage that night by singer Kane Brown as a 'really, really, really special guest.' That's pretty darn close to 'VERY special guest,' don't you think? Hmmmm ...

Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick's ex, Linda Holliday, attend same Nantucket party months after holiday clash
It seems the ice has thawed in Nantucket. Jordon Hudson and Linda Holliday were spotted at the same Massachusetts fundraiser on Saturday, roughly eight months after Bill Belichick's current gal pal and his ex-girlfriend, respectively, clashed at a holiday affair. TMZ reported Monday that 'no issues were seen by partygoers' at the Boston Pops on Nantucket soiree, which is 'believed to be [Hudson and Holliday's] first public run-in' since the Nantucket Dreamland encounter last December, when Holliday confronted Hudson. 5 Bill Belichick and girlfriend Jordon Hudson in February 2025.

Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Holliday — who split from Belichick, 73, in 2023 after 16 years of dating — told organizers at the December 2024 gathering she felt Hudson's 'presence was inappropriate, since the event was widely advertised as a party headlined by her daughters,' and asked a staffer to 'remove Ms. Hudson from the premises,' according to an incident report obtained by TMZ in May. Holliday and two others confronted Hudson on the dance floor, and when a staffer approached Hudson about whether 'she thought it was a good idea to be there,' the former college cheerleader defended herself, stating she hadn't done anything wrong. 5 Linda Holliday and Bill Belichick dated for 16 years before their breakup was reported in 2023.

Is Taylor Swift announcing her new album on Travis Kelce's podcast? A look at the clues driving fan theories.
Swift and the NFL player, who cohosts 'New Heights' with brother Jason Kelce, have been dating for more than two years. Is Taylor Swift appearing on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast New Heights? That's what fans are speculating, along with the possibility of major news from the pop star. The speculation began Monday morning, when Kelce posted an image for Wednesday's upcoming special episode of New Heights, which he cohosts with his brother, Jason. The image features both Kelce brothers at the mic, along with a silhouette of their mysterious guest — a silhouette that just so happens to resemble Kelce's girlfriend of more than two years. The caption of the post? '92%ers, we're coming back early for a special episode with a VERY special guest. New episode Wednesday 7PM ET.' And it's not merely the Swift-like silhouette that is sending fans into a spiral. For one thing, Jason appears to be wearing this Swift merch in the photo — it's just cleverly blocked out with text. Immediately, fans flooded the comments section with Swift mentions. 'Living for the hope of it all,' one joked, a reference to Swift's song 'August' from her album Folklore. 'I know a taylor swift when i see one,' another wrote, while a third warned, 'I really don't appreciate being bullied on a Monday morning. If this isn't blondie, I'm putting ya'll in exile.' And there's more where this excitement came from. One hour after Kelce posted, Taylor Nation — the official platform for all things Swift — took to Instagram to share a post featuring 12 slides. They captioned the post, which features Swift in exclusively all-orange outfits from the Eras Tour, 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…'' Swifties have long speculated that orange would be the color scheme for Swift's 12th album. At the end of Swift's Eras Tour set, a visual of an orange door was projected onto the stage — suggesting that Swift may be walking into another 'era' that is coded with this color, one of the few colors that isn't already associated with a previous album of hers. Oh, and what's the color used for the background of Kelce's Instagram post? Why, it's orange, of course. Is it possible that Swift's potential New Heights appearance is also a new album announcement? There's one more clue pointing in that direction: The new podcast drops on Aug. 13, making it a combination of Swift's song 'August' and her lucky number. Of course, Swift fans will have to hold their breath until Wednesday to find out what, if anything, this couple is up to. After all, as every longtime Swiftie knows, even the most seemingly obvious clues don't always lead to a major announcement. Solve the daily Crossword
