[Unidentified Male:] It`s total chaos here. Motorcycles, black and whites, the people running around. Officers getting out of their cars with their - with their batons, people running. People they`re keeping our cameras away.
[Hammer:] OK, do you remember where you were when this went down? I`m betting you do. Because 95 million people watched the L.A. Police chase O.J. Simpson in that now legendary white Bronco. This wild ride has become one of the biggest moments ever in American pop culture. It all happened exactly 19 years ago to the day. Wow, it`s a "SHOWBIZ Flashback," and I am taking you back 19 years to that iconic moment right now, when O.J. Simpson took over the airwaves and his white Bronco became world-famous. Hard to believe it`s been nearly two decades since O.J. went on his legendary run from the police. Well, when O.J. finally turned himself in, the Football Hall of Famer beat the double murder wrap of his ex-wife and her friend. But, of course, he still wound up behind bars years later on the armed robbery and kidnapping conviction after his confrontation with two memorabilia dealers in a Vegas hotel room. Well, tonight, I`ve got Kato Kaelin, who of course, was a friend of O.J. Simpson`s and a star witness in his murder trial. And Kato, I`m trying to look over and watch you reacting to watching that video. Tell me where you were when that happened? I imagine you were glued to your TV like everybody else.
[Kato Kaelin, Testified In Trial Of The Century:] I was. I was actually with a lot of friends and kept thinking, that`s, like the hugest ad campaign for Ford: 95 million people watching this with a Ford Bronco. I`m in Beverly Hills watching it with a bunch of friends, recognizing certain people. You know the great thing was, there was a game going on. The playoff game, do you remember that? It was a the screen was a small-screen chase. Within a minute it was the big screen and the game was the small screen. And I remember Robert Kardashian reading a suicide letter from O.J. I remember celebrities and athletes calling him, all on the air, saying, "Turn yourself in, O.J." All the while the chase is going on. Surreal. It`s like, you can tell this to people. They`d go, this is not happening.
[Hammer:] Yes.
[Kaelin:] It was so surreal. And then there was the when he finally turned himself in, I see his son running to him and it was this moment of, are the police going to shoot him? Why is an innocent man trying to get away? So it really didn`t make sense. And I was just recognizing people during this entire chase, going, "Why is he why is he doing this?" And there`s people on the freeway, you remember, with signs?
[Hammer:] Right.
[Kaelin:] "The Juice on the Loose." It`s like all these things. You`re going, "This can`t be happening. This is not real."
[Hammer:] Obviously, not a funny story at all.
[Kaelin:] Not at all.
[Hammer:] But as a guy who was friends with him and lived with him on his property in the guest house at the time, when you first realized this was going on, and you saw it on the TV, what`s going through your mind? In terms of, things that, you know, we might not have known about.
[Kaelin:] I think first of all, I want to say that I was really, really close to Nicole and O.J., so I was friends of really both. And what was going through my mind is sort of what I said, is like why is an innocent man trying to get away? Why would he be doing this? And then I was thinking of "Who`s driving the car?" And then they got into talking about his best friend, finding out later on that there was a mask in the car, $10,000. Why would he be doing this and I was thinking, who was driving the car and they got to talking about his best friend, driving the car. A.J., it`s one of those things where you are wondering while you are watching it, how is this going to play out and then we found out later how it plays out.
[Hammer:] All right. I want to roll out a clip that I don`t think we cannot play if we`re talking about big O.J. Simpson moments all these years later. Charles, will you roll this?
[Johnny Cochran, Defense Attorney:] In a knit cap, from two blocks away. It`s still O.J. Simpson, it`s no disguise. It`s no disguise. It makes no sense. It doesn`t fit. If it doesn`t fit, you must acquit.
[Hammer:] I mean, we`ll never forget that, O.J. Simpson`s larger than life lawyer, Johnny Cochran, right there, talking about that bloody glove. When you were testifying back in `95, did you think that the glove not fitting is what would get O.J. acquitted?
[Kaelin:] I think that was probably the biggest point. I think Johnny Cochran knew exactly how to talk to a jury. I think that stuck in their head, that line. It was like a deft polka jam, the first one. Everybody related to what he said: if the glove doesn`t fit, you must acquit. It still prevails today and people still talk about it. I think it was a major, major moment when they show him not fitting the glove.
[Hammer:] Yes. It was interesting seeing you, sitting with you, on the day that the chase happened, 19 years ago. Kato, thank you very much for sharing your story with us.
[Kaelin:] OK. Thanks a lot, A.J. I`ll see you. Thank you so much.
[Hammer:] And make sure you catch Kato Kaelin on his great new show, "The Kato Kaelin Show." It`s online at...
[Kaelin:] DigitabTV.com.
[Hammer:] DigitabTV. Got to make sure I got it right.
[Kaelin:] You got it.
[Hammer:] Let`s move on right now to beauty queens, who are known for their poise and grace, of course. Usually. Sometimes the pageant pressure, though, is just too much. And the latest victim, Miss Utah, big flub at the Miss USA pageant.
[Marissa Powell, Miss Utah:] I think, especially the men are seen as the leader of this and so we need to figure out how to create education better.
[Hammer:] Right now, SHOWBIZ investigates the bling ring, a group of teens who robbed Paris Hilton and several other stars is now getting the Hollywood treatment. Isn`t the film about their crime spree giving them exactly what they wanted? CNN`s Margaret Conley investigates for SHOWBIZ TONIGHT.
[Unidentified Female:] Oh, my gosh! Serious.
[Margaret Conley, Cnn Correspondent:] Paris Hilton`s expensive and expansive closet raided in a glamorized movie version of real-life crime.
[Unidentified Female:] Police are investigating the connection of the Hollywood Hills burglaries.
[Conley:] For nearly year, a group of Southern California celebrity-obsessed teens targeted the Hollywood homes of their favorite stars and stole more than $3 million worth of cash, clothes, jewelry, art and even underwear.
[Unidentified Male:] I think we wanted to be part of, like, the lifestyle. The lifestyle that everybody kind of wants.
[Conley:] This stolen lifestyle story has now been made into a film by Academy Award winner Sofia Coppola. "The Bling Ring" is based on a brazen Hollywood crime spree that took place in 2008 and 2009.
[Sofia Coppola, Director:] Just seemed kind of sad compared to things we did when I was a kid. And just so timely just about our obsession with this kind of pop culture and reality
[Tv. Conley:] For The Bling Ring, that pop culture obsession was the powerful motivation for their theft, according to psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser.
[Stacy Kaiser, Psychotherapist:] They wanted to wear the things the celebrities were wearing. They wanted to be in the homes that the celebrities were in. And it made them feel like they would have a chance to be famous if they were connected to that famous stuff.
[Conley:] The teens used social media to track the celebrities they targeted, sometimes burglarizing them repeatedly.
[Paris Hilton, Reality Tv Star:] I was just really upset and mad that these kids had done this to me. And felt so violated. Just what they did was so wrong.
[Conley:] In real life, the Bling Ring`s crimes caught up with them: well, sort of. Four defendants served brief jail sentences, and the others were placed on probation. And will the Bling Ring movie give them the spotlight they were craving all along? The filmmaker hopes not.
[Coppola:] I wanted to make it so that they understood how they got into this world but then, you know, wanted to get clear that you don`t want to be encouraging it.
[Hammer:] Maybe we have a little sympathy for Paris Hilton now. That was CNN`s Margaret Conley for SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. "The Bling Ring" is set to open nationwide on Friday. Well, there was a much-awaited debut in Hollywood this weekend. Baby Kimye is here and now we want to know when are we going to see her? What will Kim Kardashian`s baby girl be named? It is "The Battle of the Baby Bumps," baby Kimye edition. Kris Jenner made big news about Kim K`s baby, speaking with me on the Daytime Emmys red carpet. But I have got so many secrets and surprises from the show, as well.
[Carrie Fisher, Actress:] Our nominees they take us into worlds we`ve never seen before. Unless, like Ozzy and myself, you`ve taken acid, in which case...
[Hammer:] Carrie Fisher and George Lucas stole the spotlight at the Daytime Emmys. What did George tell us back stage?
