O.J. Simpson Is a Wanted Man

O.J. SimpsonO.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?

Chris Rock -- My 'Nappy' Lawsuit

Chris Rock's documentary about African-American hairstyles is as phony as the extensions on Paris Hilton's head, according to a new lawsuit.

Regina Kimbell says she showed Chris her 2005 documentary, "My Nappy Roots," on the set of his TV series, "Everybody Hates Chris," back in 2007. Then, according to the suit filed in U.S. District Court in downtown L.A., he stole the idea for his documentary, "Good Hair," which will open on Friday.

Kimbell's film features celebs who discuss styles like the conk, the Afro, the Jheri curl and dreadlocks. Rock's film also uses celebs to look at the efforts black women use to get that European look.

Kimbel wants no less than $5 mil in damages.

Jackson Tour Footage -- This Is It!

The trailer for the upcoming Michael Jackson tour movie debuted last night -- and shows a ton of previously unseen rehearsal video of MJ in the months leading up to his death.



Michael appears with it in the footage -- and the huge dance sequences teased look damn bad ass.

The movie will be shown in theaters for two weeks, starting October 28.

Farrah's Gripping Story

The NBC documentary last night -- "Farrah's Story" -- was even more dramatic than advertised. Farrah Fawcett, Ryan O'Neal and a shackled Redmond O'Neal all came together in her battle over cancer for a truly gripping reality program ...

Britney -- Science Project

Britney SpearsThe woman arrested for ominous behavior on Britney Spears' property says for her, Britney was like an assignment you get in chemistry class.

Miranda Tozier-Robbins
was arrested outside of Britney's home wearing camouflage and holding a camera ... but it turns out the whole thing was kind of a misunderstanding. In her mind at least.

The 26 year-old art student, who attends the Art Institute in L.A., claims she was just trying to show the lengths to which the paparazzi have to go get their pics. The footage was going to be used in a documentary film she's currently working on.

Apparently the excuse is working -- TMZ has learned that Tozier-Robbins won't face any punishment at her college as long as she keeps attending classes.

So in a way, the whole thing was kind of like a science fair project -- and Britney was the dangerous volcano stuffed full of baking soda and vinegar.

"Deliver Us" Delves Into Church Evils

Deliver Us From EvilFor two decades, Father Oliver O' Grady, by his own admission, molested scores of boys and girls in various parishes in California, becoming one of the most notorious pedophiles amongst the priests defrocked in the scandal that rocked the Catholic Church. A powerful new documentary tells O'Grady's story, and suggests that while his crimes were monstrous, the alleged cover-up perpetrated by the church was truly unforgivable.

"Deliver Us From Evil" tells the story of how the Catholic Church moved O'Grady from parish to parish in order to avoid liability and deflect criticism. Internal church documents prove that, beginning in 1973, Church superiors knew of O'Grady's actions and lied to parishioners and local law enforcement to protect him.

Some of the most remarkable moments of the film are the interviews with O'Grady himself. His dispassionate account of the hundreds of children he molested is disturbing enough; combined with the stories told by the survivors, filmmaker Amy Berg creates a moving, powerful, and unforgettable narrative. A never-before-seen taped deposition given by Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony and his former second-in-command Monsignor James Cain is also featured in the film.

The documentary has a limited release on October 13th and goes wide October 27th.
