Mark Fuhrman talks O.J. Simpson: 'It wasn't a first degree murder'

Thirteen years after their last interview, Oprah Winfrey sat down with disgraced former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman to take a look back at the infamous O.J. Simpson case and what went wrong. Fuhrman, who famously lied under oath about using the N-word, which made an already racially-charged case even more flimsy, says that he wishes he'd never picked up the phone on that fateful night in Los Angeles.

Celebrity leftovers: The fascination with crumbs stars leave behind

A couple in Cornwall are showcasing food left behind by stars. Why are some people drawn to such celebrity ephemera? It's one of the great cultural phenomena of the 21st Century - the appetite for learning about famous people's lives, no matter how banal the details. Gossip magazines and newspapers are stuffed with information about such minutiae. And for eight years, a seaside cafe in Cornwall has hosted an experiment exploring this obsession by displaying the food left behind by public figures. It may sound bizarre. But people can go to great lengths to get hold of something a celebrity has owned, or even just touched. A half-eaten banana signed by Kate Garraway fetched almost £2,000 In November 2010 John Lennon's molar tooth sold in Stockport for £19,500 ($30,276).
