Arrests

No, they haven't found the real killer. The Las Vegas Review Journal is reporting that an arrest has been made in the O.J. Simpson robbery case.

The man detained Saturday night was arrested on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon, Las Vegas police lieutenant Clint Nichols said.

The man arrested is believed to be an associate of Simpson, and charges against him include conspiracy to commit robbery. O.J. is scheduled to be interviewed tomorrow by Las Vegas Metro Police.

While the 21-year-old is getting clean and sober at Cirque Lodge, TMZ has learned that LiLo requested a shipment of her favorite T-shirt line, Nation, be sent to her. Fashion doesn't stop for detox!

A judge just sentenced Mindy McCready to one year in County Jail for violating her probation. She does it all the time!

McCready was arrested in Florida in July after cops responded to a domestic dispute between the country singer and her mother. Mindy was convicted in 2004 on a prescription drug fraud charge, and was ordered to serve three years probation. She only had a few more months left on that probation when she was arrested.

McCready has now been convicted on a felony charge. In addition to the jail time, the judge gave her two more years of probation and 200 additional hours of community service. In the courtroom, the judge was clear: if Mindy doesn't perform her community service, he'll put her back in jail again.

An emotional Mindy, in court today wearing an orange jumpsuit, spoke out to the judge.

This past week's nude photo scandal isn't the first for "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens, say some sources.

A source close to Hudgens told People that two years ago, before she was famous, Hudgens emailed suggestive pix of herself to Nickelodeon star Drake Bell -- star of the "Drake and Josh" show. No word on if she rang his bell.

A rep for Drake says he never received the alleged sexy shots.

Rapper Fifty Cent must be on edge about his upcoming September 11 record release battle with Kanye West. Mr. Half Dollah's been extra snappish lately: at the recent Fashion Rocks show in NYC, the super-pumped Fiddy was super nasty to a member of Tyra Banks' entourage.

Banks' handler accidentally nudged the rapper as he was walking into the event, reports Gatecrasher, and Fiddy lashed out.

"What the [bleep] is wrong with you? How you gonna bump me?" he cried. Big men -- so delicate inside!

This past April, rapper Eve struck a plea agreement following a DUI arrest, and was ordered to wear an alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet -- just like the SCRAM anklet Lindsay Lohan voluntarily wore.

After five months, the delicious diva is happily reporting that the monitoring contraption will come off -- just in time for tonight's VMA's. Party!

Rambling rocker Pete Doherty shambled back to rehab on Thursday after a drama-filled week that involved a run-in with a photographer and another drug-related arrest.

Babyshambles frontwreck Doherty checked in to Cloud's House rehab center in Salisbury, England, after allegedly chasing and assaulting photographer Cath Mead. Cath claims her hair was pulled and camera smashed in the attack.

Cloud's House has served such illustrious clients as Robbie Williams and Boy George.

After Nicole Richie's short jail stint on Thursday (if you can even call it that), we got to thinking -- what could one do in 82 minutes or less?

Here's our list. Post yours in comments!

-Listen to the Lionel Richie album "Dancing on the Ceiling": 47 minutes

-Watch the DVD of "Cops: Bad Girls": 50 minutes

-Check out Lindsay Lohan in "I Know Who Killed Me": Yes, it's 104 minutes, but who can sit through the whole thing?

Sources tell TMZ that Nicole Richie was "surprised" by the short amount of time she had to serve at Lynwood -- and she apparently had a pretty good stint in the clink, all things considered.

We're told that the tiny ex-con found the Sheriff's Department "extremely professional" and "cooperative" and she "appreciated their efficiency." Eighty-two minutes -- that's efficient!

The question is ...

TMZ cameras caught Richie's baby daddy leaving the house in his car around 7:30 PM, no Nicole in sight as the fedora-rockin' rocker drove past the cameras. A little later, as everyone was waiting for a sign of the mini ex-con, a few police cruisers pulled onto the block and warned paparazzi to keep off Joel's property.

The popo showed up a couple more times, at one point talking to Joel's bro Benji about all the cameras, but left again after issuing only a warning, since nobody was doing anything illegal.

Cameras caught the wrong-way driver dropping off her two pooches, Foxxy Cleopatra and Honey Child, at California Animal Hospital under the protective watch of baby daddy Joel Madden. Less than an hour-and-a-half after she kissed her babies goodbye, Nicole was free to pick 'em back up again.

Have you ever seen a more "I got you good, suckers" pose in your life? She's pregnant, but barely gained an ounce behind bars!

Just 82 minutes after Nicole Richie checked herself into Lynwood jail, she left a free woman. Hard time her ass!

According to the official website of the L.A. Sheriff's Dept., Richie checked in at 3:15 PM and was released at 4:37 PM. She was assigned to a cell for only 35 minutes! It takes longer to watch an episode of "The Simple Life" ... and it's more painful!

A Sheriff's source tells TMZ Nicole was routinely processed and released according to normal operating rules.

One of the more brilliant moves by Nicole's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, who snuck Nicole in and out while everyone was focused on Lindsay. Well played!

Talk about a smart move! Nicole Richie snuck into jail today to serve her sentence for DUI.

She was booked at the Lynwood Jail, where Paris did her time, at 3:15 this afternoon. Great move by her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley. While all the attention was focused on Lindsay, no one was watching Nicole.

Nicole is being processed right now. Her photo hasn't even been taken. A Sheriff's guy says she's still being processed.

Nicole was sentenced to four days in the pokey for driving the wrong way on an L.A. freeway while under the influence. She was given credit for 1 day because she was in the slammer for 6 hours after her arrest.

Because of overcrowding, it's possible -- but not certain -- Nicole will be a free woman when we all wake up tomorrow.

Rod's misguided gene pool took a dip in the Pacific with friends this weekend, but all was not calm on the waterfront. Attempting to rid his human boa, Stewart went for the push ... but she had other ideas -- showing Sean her spot-on impression of an "Aliens" facehugger. Encore!
