O.J. Simpson still thinks he's innocent -- 'cause the murdering murderer-slash-armed robber is playin' the race card in the hopes of springing himself from the bowels of a Nevada state prison.
Simpson filed an appeal Tuesday with the Nevada Supreme Court over that hotel room confrontation where he punked two sports memorabilia dealers. Simpson is crying that his conviction was tainted by judicial misconduct, a lack of racial diversity on the jury and errors in sentencing and jury instructions.
OJ is set to serve anywhere between 9 -33 years -- no word if he's still trying to hunt down the "real killer" from behind bars.

Hulk Hogan's infamous O.J. comments are coming back to bite him in the ass -- because his estranged wife is now using them to further bleed his fortune dry.
Linda Hogan just filed papers in Pinellas County, Fla. claiming she needs an additional $8,200 a month from Hulk so she can move "thousands of miles away" from him because Linda feels she's in "imminent danger of becoming a victim."
And if Hulk doesn't pay up, Linda's threatening to file a domestic violence injunction against him -- with special terms to keep him from using the media to bash her.
The infamous cougar is also asking for $24,000 for "advanced rent and security deposits" to set up shop in sunny California...
...where O.J. happened to kill his wife.

Whether or not he was "taken out of context" like he suggests, Hulk Hogan has to understand something -- saying you could have "done an O.J." on your ex-wife is never a good idea.

Hulk Hogan says he was taken out of context when he was quoted as saying, "I totally understand OJ"... referring to the conflict with his ex-wife Linda. But Hulk's explanation may have made things worse.
Last night in Clearwater, FL the Hulkster said his Rolling Stone interview was a 3-day long affair, in which he said he was really the anti-OJ Simpson. But here's the thing. Last night, he explained, "I didn't do the OJ Simpson thing. I took the high road."
The high road -- not slitting your wife's throat.

Hulk Hogan thinks O.J. Simpson may have had a point -- when he slit his ex wife's throat.
Hulk sees a parallel between the plights of poor O.J. and himself. Hulk just told Rolling Stone: "You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it."
Kato, your room is ready...
UPDATE: Linda Hogan's rep just issued a statement: "We have always maintained that the fear that Linda has had to live with comes from the rage and instability much too often associated with pro wrestlers." The statement goes on: "Linda and her family are taking these recent homicidal comments seriously."
The statement concludes by saying Linda's attorney is weighing his legal options.
UPDATE #2: Hulk's attorney, David R. Houston, tells us, "Page 6 only quoted a very small portion of the Rolling Stone article, not the statement in its entirety. He said that he understands the frustration that can lead to that sort of activity but he definitely does not condone it. He is grounded in his faith and a belief in a higher power and does not believe in violence for any reason."

Kato Kaelin wussed out during the murder trial in '94-'95. Now in his late 40's, it appears Mr. Kaelin has belatedly grown a set, bragging that karma finally caught up with his former landlord.

Fred Goldman isn't finished with O.J. yet -- well, O.J.'s stuff, to be exact.
Goldman's lawyers are filing an action against Mike Gilbert -- the memorabilia dealer who claims O.J. confessed to killing Ron and Nicole -- asking a judge to force Mike to give Fred everything he has that's Juice-related.
A letter to Gilbert's lawyers says the dealer promised to give Goldman the property during an appearance on the "Dr. Phil Show", but he never did.
Goldman is also filling a temporary restraining order against Gilbert -- a hearing is set for Dec. 12.

One attorney for the Goldman family is speaking out about O.J. Simpson's 12 guilty verdicts -- and he isn't holding back his dislike for the Juice.
David J. Cook tells TMZ, "Finders keepers, losers weepers. Going to that Las Vegas hotel room was a very bad idea. Robbing those two snookes was a worse idea. But going to jail for beating Fred Goldman out of a payment for the wrongful death judgment ... priceless."
Cook takes one last dig at O.J. saying, "The road to justice runs from Brentwood and ends in Las Vegas." Ouch.

O.J. Simpson is looking to use his sharp fashion sense, cutting wit and killer instincts for a new purpose -- joining the cast of "The Apprentice."
TMZ spoke to sources close to the show who say Simpson approached Donald Trump's camp to voice his want for a spot on the program -- and, surprisingly, it's "under thoughtful consideration."
The show may soon be known for a different kind of backstabbing.

OJ Simpson's legal troubles have turned into a cash register for a member of his former posse.
We've learned Thomas Riccio, the sports memorabilia dealer who may have double-dealt and orchestrated the confrontation that led to robbery charges, has made a book deal. The book, titled "Busted," is Riccio's sleaze-a-zoid account of what went down in the Vegas hotel room and all the stuff before and after.
Riccio's making a nice living off O.J.'s latest heist. We know he was paid $70,000 during his "media tour" following the arrest, in return for mentioning a website called clips4sale.com during his shameless appearances.
And, of course, Riccio peddled the audiotape of the hotel confrontation to ... oh yeah, us.
His book is due out in April. We're thinkin' he'll probably ask for donations before page 40.

OJ Simpson's bail has reportedly been revoked ... and he's heading back to jail!
FOX News reporter Adam Housley is reporting that the Juice is set to fly to Vegas from Florida today, and will arrive in the early evening. According to Housley, the bondsman actually revoked the bail, which he legally can do, because he learned that the Clark County D.A. has filed a motion to revoke O.J.'s bail -- there's a hearing set for Wednesday. As to why, we don't know yet, but it appears to be related to some sort of phone message. Someone stole my s**t!
You Ring We Spring Bail Bonds -- O.J.'s bondsman -- had no comment.
UPDATE: A court official confirms Simpson will be brought before a judge next week on allegations that he violated terms of his bail.

After four hours of deliberating, Justice of the Peace Joseph Bonaventure has decided that O.J. Simpson, along with two other co-defendants, will stand trial for twelve criminal counts associated with armed robbery. The counts include robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy, kidnapping and burglary.
The other three co-defendants in the case have all testified against O.J. and have accepted plea deals. Simpson has plead not guilty.
Story developing ...

TMZ has obtained what may be the last video of O.J. Simpson with Nicole Brown, taken just five weeks before he killed her -- and it's chilling.
The video was shot at a Hollywood club on May 4, 1994, and though the two were long divorced -- with O.J. claiming he was "over her" -- on the tape Simpson calls Brown "my woman."
On June 13, 1994, Brown and her friend Ron Goldman were found knifed to death outside her home. A criminal jury acquitted Simpson of murder, but a civil jury unanimously decided Simpson killed the two victims.
