VH1 is busy giving Kanye West a good edit job.

On Feb. 13, the hip-hopper taped an episode of the channel's Storytellers, in which he performs songs and talks about them. Not surprisingly, the outspoken star broached topics that weren't exactly music-related during the three-hour shoot.

"Can't we give Chris [Brown] a break?" he said, contradicting earlier statements he's made about the R&B singer's alleged altercation with girlfriend Rihanna. "I know I make mistakes in life."

O.J. Squeezed for Restitution, Loses Memorabilia

To the victor victim go the spoils.

A Las Vegas judge this morning ordered that the lion's share of sports memorabilia that ultimately cost O.J. Simpson his freedom must be sent back to Los Angeles and turned over to the County Sheriff's Department, where the items' ownership will be determined.

Should it be decided that the memorabilia belongs to Simpson, as he himself has long attested, it will likely be sold off to the highest bidder and—here's where it must really smart—go toward satisfying the grossly outstanding wrongful-death judgment awarded to the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown.

Las Vegas District Judge Jackie Glass also ruled during this morning's brief hearing that Simpson, along with codefendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart and their posse of deal-cutting cohorts, must pool their resources and shell out a combined $3,560 in restitution to wronged (and robbed at gunpoint) memorabilia dealer Bruce Fromong.

Fromong claimed he was left with $2,600 in medical bills due to his midheist rough-up.

At a separate hearing today in L.A., the other memorabilia dealer targeted by Simpson, Alfred Beardsley, testified that he didn't have Simpson's NFL Hall of Fame ring, which the Goldman family is looking for.
