Selma Blair in Derek Lam at the OJ Simpson premiere: Kris Jenner-esque?

Again, Im not really sure what the interest level is for stories about The People vs. O.J. Simpson miniseries. I actually think the miniseries will be well-done and well-acted, and it will probably introduce a new generation to what was then the biggest true-crime story ever. Younger kids dont even realize how the OJ Simpson

Again, I’m not really sure what the interest level is for stories about The People vs. O.J. Simpson miniseries. I actually think the miniseries will be well-done and well-acted, and it will probably introduce a new generation to what was then the biggest true-crime story ever. Younger kids don’t even realize how the OJ Simpson drama dominated headlines and news for an entire year. I even remember being in school and the teacher turning on the TV to hear the verdict.

Anyway, these are some photos from last night’s LA premiere event. I’m including pics of David Schwimmer (who plays Robert Kardashian Sr.) and his wife Zoe Buckman. Also included: Courtney B. Vance (Johnny Cochran), Cuba Gooding (OJ), John Travolta (Robert Shapiro), Selma Blair (Kris Jenner) and Sarah Paulson (Marcia Clark). Paulson’s gown is Stella McCartney. Selma’s gown is Derek Lam. Is it just me or does Selma look SO MUCH like Kris here?

Previously, David Schwimmer seemed to throw a bit of shade at the current crop of the Kardashians, even rejecting offers to meet with Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, apparently. But Schwimmer was interviewed by EW this week, and he had some really nice things to say about Kris Jenner. Some highlights:

On Kris Jenner: “I was lucky enough to speak to Kris Jenner for a few hours….It could’ve been [awkward] but she was so warm and generous with her time. We spoke for a few hours in real detail because I wanted to know who he was as a husband and a father. He was a real family man and he had a lot of strong values and ethics. There’s a lot about him that I actually can identify and relate to with him, especially the loyalty.

Honoring Robert’s legacy: “No one really knows who he was and his legacy is very different. Obviously, the Kardashian name is very different from who he was. I do feel a responsibility to try and honor him and who he was and his spirit.

Whether he changed his opinion on the Kardashians: “No. I don’t know any of them personally, so I don’t really have an opinion. I have a higher opinion of Kris Jenner because she was so lovely on the phone for two hours. I find it really interesting to just understand who he was and what they must have been like as young children with their father. That’s what I kind of focus on.”

I feel like he’s between a rock and a hard place. Kris must have helped him a great deal with his research and she was genuinely nice to him, so he doesn’t want to diss the entire family. But he still wants it to be pretty clear that he’s not all about the Kardashians.
