Don’t you hate when this happens, big celebrity like O.J. Simpson, gets a third chance on the back nine of life, thinks no one’s looking, that he can get away with it, and kicks the ball out of the rough and onto the fairway…like golf pals tell me he used to do…

Only this time, he apparently gets caught breaking the rules, and, Friday, it’s off to jail again in Las Vegas.

OJ may have a new Dream Team, but you weren’t dreaming if you saw him on TV Friday night, head down, sheepish-looking, a red towel over handcuffs as police hustled him off to the Clark County Detention Center. Read the rest of this entry »

A somber O.J. Simpson hears the conditions of his $125,000 bail on Wednesday in Las Vegas.

He must surrender his passport to his attorney, and have “no contact whatsoever,” said the judge, “with any co-defendants named in his case, witnesses named or any other potential witnesses.”

“Do you understand that order?” asked the judge.

“Yessir,” said Simpson.

In Las Vegas, where dreams and nightmares come true, anything goes, and everything is possible…even the unimaginable for the family of Ron Goldman–that a double murderer turned accused kidnapper and armed robber…the now beleagured O.J. Simpson… could beat the rap, again.

That’s right, and I was in the courtroom gasping in horror four rows behind the sobbing Goldman’s in 1995 when a jury acquitted Simpson. Now some lawyers close to several victims and witnesses privately tell me they believe, with the right defense, O.J. could walk again!

“I believe it was a set-up,” unwitting Arizona realtor Walter Alexander tells me. He won’t go into details while negotating a possible plea deal with Las Vegas prosecutors for his role in Simpson’s Thursday night “sting” to recover what the football legend calls his stolen memorabilia.

It reads like a bad cop novella, with chatty suspect Orenthal James Simpson, blabbing away with investigators when he can’t reach his lawyer about how he can’t be guilty of taking back sports items that belonged to him.

“I didn’t care about the memorabilia, I wanted the family stuff!” he explained to investigators who dropped by his hotel the day after he barged into a room at the Palace Casino Hotel, backed up by two of six “thugs” brandishing semi-autoamatic pistols and allegedly stole back items he claims were stolen from him.

“Armed robbery! I knew I was going to be hearing from the cops,” he told detectives, disputing victims’ accounts. “…It wasn’t that type of thing…They said, ‘Take it…We Cool, Juice, We cool, OJ!”

It’s all in a 10-page police report we obtained early Wednesday for ET and The Insideronline, www.theinsideronline.com and offers a rip-snorting tic-toc on the gang that couldn’t rob straight. In it, Simpson cannot stop talking, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department arrest report. O.J.’s lawyers, sources tell us, were able to reseal it, but not until after we got a copy.
