AND MAYBE HE SHOT J.R., TOO
Extra! was caught off guard while watching Saturday Night Live this weekend (we don't get out much, but you, dear reader, reap all the benefits) when our favorite creepy wannabe criminal, John Mark Karr, was parodied during Weekend Update.
Call us a little looney, but we thought after Karr's DNA failed to match samples found at the scene of JonBenet Ramsey's murder that his 15 minutes was up.
Karr, played by cast member Bill Hader, had this to say about the release of O.J. Simpson's book If I Did It: "I find this entire affair to be nothing more than a disgusting exploitation of a tragic event . . . Shame on O.J. Simpson, who continues to pretend that he killed Nicole Brown Simpson."
Hader's Karr not only took credit for Nicole Brown Simpson's murder, but also confessed to hitting Naomi Campbell's maid in the back of the head and shooting rapper 50 Cent 11 times.
"I shot Bambi's mom," he blurts before his bit is up.
Extra! has added "Make John Mark Karr go away," on our letter to Santa Claus. We really hope we get that one.
THEY'RE MOVIN' ON UP
