Kato Kaelin

KATO KAELIN IS STILL HIGHLY RECOGNIZABLE

Hard to believe that OJ’s former houseguest Kato Kaelin is 59 now, but we have to hand it to him – he sure doesn’t look it! Still boyish and cute, (and he’s still got that HAIR) he’s often in the company of pretty women. Over the years Kato has had an odd assortment of jobs – reality shows, sportscasting, radio shows – he was a spokesperson for GuestHouseRent.com and our favorite – he fronted a clothing line called Slackerwear (inactive wear for couch potatoes.) He’s always doing SOMETHING – after all, he can afford to dine at Craig’s restaurant with his companion, above.

KATO KAELIN OWES A LOT OT OJ SIMPSON

It’s been over 25 years since OJ Simpson was found Not Guilty for murdering Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman, and the only person to come out ahead after this horrible injustice was Kato Kaelin. OJ’s houseguest COULD have been a hero, but he was too scared to reveal all he knew in court. The aspiring actor WAS a huge hit with the press, however, and they couldn’t get enough of him. He made TV appearances and took part in reality shows for years to come. OJ actually gave him a pretty good career.

CUBA GOODING JR IS A DECENT ACTOR, BUT HE’S NO OJ SIMPSON

Kato Kaelin is enjoying a boost in popularity since the The People v. O.J.Simpson series started airing. We’re not surprised that he’s not particularly happy with the show. Kato thinks that Ryan Murphy got a LOT of the facts wrong and they easily could have been checked with court documents. Kaelin was also surprised to find himself more prominently featured in situations than he actually was. Of course he had nothing positive to say about the actor Billy Magnusson’s “ridiculous blonde wig.” (Of all the casting, we think Cuba Gooding Jr was the worst choice. OJ Simpson was tall, strong, and handsome, with a deep commanding voice. That’s not Cuba.)

KATO KAELIN MIGHT HAVE HAD A VERY DIFFERENT LIFE IF HE’D TOLD THE TRUTH

Whenever we ran into Kato Kaelin through the years, we couldn’t help thinking “You could have been a HERO!” After the OJ Simpson trial we made a point of telling him that, but since then we only think it. He’s a likeable guy but proved himself to be a COWARD when he avoided saying anything during the trial that might make OJ look guilty. For a long time after the trial, he was despised by people appalled by the injustice to Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman, and fact that smirking murderer OJ was set free. Apparently Kato was scared stiff of telling the whole truth – but if he HAD, he would have been celebrated for the rest of his life for getting a vicious murderer locked up. Kato’s future might have been very different. Last we heard, Kato had an online sports show at FilmOn.com. Meanwhile, we’re curious to find out where Cindy Adams got that quote from Kato in her column today declaring OJ guilty – Kato denies all.
