O.J. Simpson is a popular man while he's sitting behind bars. A slew of documentarians want to get a sit-down with The Juice.
Sources at the Lovelock Correctional Center tell TMZ at least 10 people who have never met O.J. have contacted the prison in hopes of landing an interview with Simpson. We're told all were shot down by Lovelock's PIO.
"If I Did It ... Again" would make a catchy doc title, don't you think?

Adnan Ghalib, Britney Spears' ex-boyfriend/paparazzo, was booked into jail on Friday -- and here's the mug shot. Soul patches are all the rage in prison.
He'll be doing 45 days in the pokey and was also on formal probation for 36 months and has to complete 52 weeks of anger management classes and 45 days of Caltrans (hard labor).
Back in October, Ghalib pled no contest to leaving the scene of an accident after he allegedly ran over a process server in February.

O.J. Simpson has a lot of time on his hands and he's putting it to good use -- he's in the best shape of his post-murder football life.
The Juice is dropping the lbs, lifting weights, and, for good measure, preaching racial harmony and anger management to other inmates at Nevada's Lovelock Correctional Center, a good friend of his tells the NY Post.
Norman Pardo claims, "He says that's one of the benefits of not being able to go out and party all the time like he used to."
Because idle hands are the devil's workshop.

Britney Spears' paparazzo ex boyfriend was just sentenced to 45 days in county jail after pleading no contest last month to leaving the scene of an accident.
But it's not as bad as it seems ... Adnan Ghalib gets ONE day credit for time already spent behind bars. Score!
Ghalib will also be placed on formal probation for 36 months, has to complete 52 weeks of anger management classes and 45 days of Caltrans (hard labor).
This all stems from an incident back in February, when Ghalib allegedly ran over a process server with his car. Ghalib was initially charged with three felonies: assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run, but the first two charges were dropped as a part of his plea deal.

Former Big Brother winner Adam Jasinski is so desperate to get out of the slammer, he's asking the judge to let him move back in with his parents.
The season 9 champ -- who's accused of using his $500,000 prize to fund a prescription drug ring -- has filed court papers in Massachusetts which read like an episode of Let's Make a Deal.
In the docs, Jasinski -- who's still awaiting trial -- claims he's willing to live with his parents, wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, hand over his passport and undergo mental health and/or substance abuse counseling .. as long as the judge lets him out of the clink.
Jasinski -- who was arrested during a sting operation in October -- also claims he has a pretty good defense in his case. According to the docs, Adam plans on "calling into question the veracity of the cooperating government witness ... entrapment and outrageous government conduct."
He also claims the accusation that he flew to Mass. specifically to deal drugs would be "illogical given Jasinski's high public profile."

Iron Mike Tyson is getting no sympathy from the toughest law man in the county -- because Sheriff Joe Arpaio claims Tyson will feel some serious heat -- literally -- if a judge decides his L.A. arrest violates the terms of his probation from a previous DUI and cocaine conviction in Arizona.

Sheriff Joe -- who oversees the famous Tent City jail in Maricopa County, Arizona -- tells TMZ:
"Mike Tyson has served time in the Tents before and if he is violated on the terms of his probation here in Arizona, he better get his jail time done while the weather in Phoenix is cool and not 140 degrees in the summer time."
Tyson spent one day in Tent City back in 2007 -- he was required to wear the jail-issued pink underwear and a black-and-white striped jumpsuit.

In Monopoly, you can fork over a couple of hundred bucks to get yourself out of jail. Switzerland is apparently just like Monopoly.
Roman Polanski's French lawyer, Herve Temime, says he will be filing a new bail proposal on Monday and it will be a "very, very significant" cash amount. Swiss authorities shot down a different offer on Friday, but reportedly it did not involve cold, hard cash.
Temime wouldn't say how much Roman would lay on the table. We're guessing two giant sacks with dollar signs on the side should do the trick.

We now know the third person arrested in connection with the burglaries of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge's home -- 18-year old Alexis Neiers.

TMZ shot Alexis (right), Diana Tamayo (center) and Courtney Ames (left) as cops brought them into Van Nuys jail in the back of a cruiser last night -- after the trio was arrested for felony burglary.
Ames and Neiers were released after posting $50,000 bail. On the way out, Ames denied any wrongdoing while Neiers said "I didn't do jack s**t, it's a joke." Tamayo is still in custody.
Story developing ...

Lil Wayne has just pled guilty to attempted weapon possession in New York.

Wayne was busted on July 22, 2007 in NYC after police pulled over his tour bus because they allegedly smelled pot.
Cops say when an officer approached the bus, Wayne tossed a Louis Vuitton bag with a gun inside.
New York is known for having extremely tough gun laws -- Wayne is expecting to get 1-year behind bars.
Wayne's troubles are far from over.
The rapper still faces felony drug possession and weapons charges in Arizona ... after cops found 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine, 41 grams of ecstasy, various drug paraphernalia and a handgun on his tour bus during a traffic stop in Yuma County back in 2008.
Wayne pled not guilty to those charges -- his trial is set for March of 2010.

Richard Heene had a well-documented criminal history with a common thread -- going ballistic under pressure.
First of all, we've now found three criminal cases against Balloon Dad. In 1984, Heene was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon -- a gun -- and received three years probation.
In 1991, in San Bernardino, CA., Heene was arrested for corporal injury on a spouse. It appears he was not convicted.
Now get this ... we broke the story yesterday that in 1997 Heene pled no contest to vandalism and spent four days in jail. Wait 'til you hear what happened.
Heene, a contractor at the time, had an employee who didn't get paid. The employee went to Heene's home to get his $300 and an argument ensued.
We're told Heene got physical with the guy inside the house, the employee walked out and Heene gave him $140 of the $300 he owed. The employee, Benito Ortiz, was dissatisfied and the argument continued.
According to the arrest report, Heene got in his pickup truck, backed up and apparently tried to hit the dude. The employee got out of harm's way and Heene struck the employee's VW.
After hitting the VW, Heene pulled forward several feet, then put the vehicle back in reverse and collided again with Ortiz.
But wait, there's more. Heene did it a third time.
Finally, Heene parked, got out of his truck, picked up a wooden beam, held it over his head and screamed at Ortiz, "Get the f**k away."
Heene later told cops .... during the conflict Ortiz struck him, he became "incoherent" and didn't know what happened next.
In addition to four days in jail, Heene was sentenced to house arrest and ordered to pay $100 in restitution.

TMZ has learned Randy and Evi Quaid posted bail moments ago -- and the Presidio County Sheriff was kind enough to drive them to an ATM to speed up the process.
Law enforcement sources tell us the Quaids each posted their $20,000 bail -- they were arrested earlier this afternoon in Marfa, Texas after arrest warrants were issued for them out of Santa Barbara County, CA.
And get this: We're told they hammed it up for their mug shots, smiling and laughing as they took multiple pictures.

Joe Francis has just dodged a bullet by pleading guilty to filing false tax returns.
Francis struck a deal with federal prosecutors in L.A. and will avoid jail time. He'll plead guilty to two counts of filing bogus returns.
Francis could have faced 10 years in prison. Instead, he'll pay $250,000 in restitution and get credit for time service -- 301 days in jail.

We've learned Plaxico Burress arrived at Rikers Island jail in New York at 1:20 PM ET, this according to Deputy Commissioner for NYC Dept. of Corrections Steve Morello.
We're told Plax's stay will be a short one -- he'll be shipped off tomorrow to his next destination ... Fishkill Correctional Facility.
While Plax is behind bars at Rikers, we're told he'll be staying in an individual cell -- meaning no cell mate -- which includes a mattress, sheet and blanket, drinking cup, faucet, toilet, toilet paper and soap.
Also, we're told Plax will shower separately because of his celebrity status -- so he can drop the soap all he wants.
We're told Plax's meals will be delivered to his cell -- for dinner tonight he'll have hot dogs, beans, whole wheat bread and fruit. For breakfast tomorrow he'll get fruit, grits, whole wheat bread and his choice of coffee or tea.

The guy who allegedly choked Ryan Seacrest's bodyguard outside of the Children's Hospital in Orange County on Tuesday just pled guilty to three misdemeanors.

Chidi Uzomah -- who appeared in Orange County Superior Court today via a television feed -- pled guilty to battery, assault and possession of a switchblade.
He was put on three years probation and must "destroy" all weapons he owns. He was sentenced to 15 days in jail with 4 days credit for time already spent behind bars. But if he messes up, then he could get six months in jail or a $1,000 fine.
The judge said he must stay away from the Children's Hospital and Ryan Seacrest.
