O.J. Simpson -- I Just Wanted My Childhood Photos

oj simpsonO.J. Simpson says it was family photos -- not expensive collectibles -- he was after in Thursday's "sting operation."

According to auction house owner Tom Riccio, who says he tipped Simpson off and arranged for him to meet with sports memorabilia collector Alfred Beardsley, Simpson just wanted his childhood photos returned. When he found that Beardsley had a collection of his pics, Simpson "got all worked up," said Riccio.

Beardsley spoke with the Associated Press late yesterday and said that he would give the photos back. "I feel bad about it," and added that both he and Simpson feel "this has gotten way out of control."

Authorities are currently trying to sort out who owned what items, and believe that "part or all of the items" belong to Simpson, according to Police Captain James Dillon.


Britney In, Seacrest Out?

"American Idol" whipping boy Ryan Seacrest hosts the Emmys this Sunday, and says that he's more than willing to give fallen pop tart Britney Spears a chance at redemption on his broadcast.

Rumors around a possible Britastrophic Emmys appearance have been swirling all week, but while Britter's camp says that she's not planning on attending, Seacrest says he'll happily give her air time.

"I am willing to give up my monologue, song and interpretive dance for her apology," he told Us.

Joan Rivers Kicked Off the Red Carpet


Can we talk? Plastic surgery diva Joan Rivers is miffed that she and daughter Melissa have been moved out of the limelight and online. After years of strutting the red carpet for E!, Rivers and Rivers will now liveblog the event at joanriversblog.com.

"How dare they! It's just mean and wrong. Are they out of their minds?" Rivers told Page Six of having the red carpet ripped out from under them. Carson Kressley and Guiliana Depandi will replace the mother/daughter duo.

It's not all bad, said Rivers. "They've set up my apartment like a war room. I have free rein. I can say, 'She looks like a slut.' I can say, 'I think he's gay,' or this one's nasty or terrific. It appeals to me." And anyway, says Joan, "The fun was when the celebrities dressed themselves and looked funny. Now they all look perfect and are being very careful with what they say."

Liza Goes Skater, Dude

Liza Minnelli has an Oscar, a Tony and an Emmy -- now she wants to add a Gold Medal from the X Games to her mantle.

The normally hyper-eyelashed icon looked like she was ditching the cabaret stage for a skatepark when she showed up at LAX on Wednesday, sans makeup and showing off her skater gear. Rad.

It looks like Liza has made the full transition into skate culture by getting tattooed ... eyebrows.

Joan Collins -- Oh No You Didn't!

Joan CollinsBehind the scenes of any awards show is a world of pure insanity. As the stars make their media rounds, they are in constant need of hair and make-up touch- ups. As was the case last night for legendary "Dynasty" actress Joan Collins.

Just as Joan was finishing up an interview, her hair guy swooped in to revitalize her look. There was just one problem; the cameras were still rolling. Needless to say, madame was none too happy that she was being coiffed for all the world to see. Her expression quickly jumped from a gleamingly pleasant smile to pissed-off diva scowl in just a matter of seconds. She then demanded that the touch-up team take her in front of a mirror immediately, if they wanted to continue their work.

Piven to Billy -- You're "Bush" League

Click to return to TMZ.comSometimes Billy Bush just doesn't know when to quit -- and last night on the Emmy red carpet, Jeremy Piven lashed out at him for it. Last night, during the red-carpet prelude to the Emmys, "Access Hollywood's" Bush corralled "Entourage's" Piven, and began a line of questioning concerning celebrity babies. Piven had just flown in from Arizona, where he was shooting a movie with Jennifer Garner, and so Bush asked him about Garner's baby Violet.

Bush then asked Piven if, given that Piven lives in Malibu, whether he had laid eyes on Brangelina's baby Shiloh. Piven said he hadn't, explaining that he had "116 other things to do...I don't go hunting for celebrity babies, thank you, Billy."

"You need another job. You have potential as a human being..."



Undeterred, or clearly not getting the message, Bush then asked if he'd seen Suri Cruise. Piven finally lost his patience. "You need another job. You have potential as a human being," said Piven, not at all hiding his irritation. "This may not be right for you. Seriously -- can you focus on other things?"

At least Bush got one thing right. He predicted -- correctly -- that Jeremy Piven would get his statuette, and Piven did, for his role as Ari Gold.

Minnillo Goes Gangsta

Vanessa Minnillo at the EmmysEverything from the perfect hair and the stunning dress, to the shimmering jewels and the flawless make-up looked incredible on Vanessa Minnillo during the Emmy celebration. In fact, just staring at her made everyone forget the the blazing hot sun and the sweat seeping into tuxedo jackets. Yes, she was stunning!

However, once out of sight of the cameras and the red carpet audience, Vanessa let her true colors shine through. Our TMZ insider explained that as Minnillo made her way up to the tower (this is where Kathy Griffin sat last year when she still had a job on the show), she was full-on ghetto. She had every thug angle covered. While hiking up her skirt with one hand, walking with a limp in stilettos, and waving the other hand from side to side she sang, "Yo, yo, yo! This is so gangsta." She continued with her ghetto fabulous act until the cameras came back on. Then, in the blink of an eye, she was back to the well-spoken beauty we've all come to know.

Another side of Vanessa was revealing itself. As the relationship between Vanessa and boyfriend Nick Lachey gets even more intense and the media's obsession continues to grow, we're sure to see many more faces from the exotic lovely. One thing you might not know about her is that she is curvy. This woman has back and front and in perfect proportions. We applaud her for keeping it real.

Who Needs Ratings When You Have Emmys?

Conan O'Brien made fun of NBC's tumble in the ratings during his opening number ("To prove things are going to hell, we're relying on Howie Mandel," he sung at one point). But things aren't all bad at the Peacock Network. In fact, if the Emmys are any indication, things are just dandy.

NBC won a total of 14 Emmys (between Sunday's telecast and the Creative Arts Awards given out last week), six of those wins coming last night -- a number equal to the total of CBS, FOX and ABC combined.

The network took home the top comedy prize ("The Office") and writing and directing honors for comedy (both for "My Name Is Earl"). On the acting side, Mariska Hargitay ("Law & Order: SVU") won best actress in a drama, Megan Mullally ("Will & Grace") won best supporting actress in a comedy and Alan Alda ("The West Wing") won best supporting actor in a drama.

The win for Alda (the sixth of his career) gave "The West Wing" a total of 26 for its seven-year run, tying it with "Hill Street Blues" for the most ever by a primetime series.

So while Conan may have joked that since the Emmys were on NBC, they would probably get canceled halfway through, they still might win an award next year.

Emmys 2006: '24', HBO, O'Brien Win Big

Conan O'BrienTV's annual festival of self-congratulation passed into history last night for the 58th time, and history will note that Fox's "24" finally got the recognition it deserved, that Conan O'Brien ought to be given the hosting gig for life, and that HBO just can't lose the movie/miniseries category.

What's more, backstage, Tina Fey actually did go "arse-over-tits," in Helen Mirren's charming phraseology, "The Office"'s Rainn Wilson just had to kiss his castmates, and Martin and Charlie Sheen shared a nice filial cigarette.
