O.J. Simpson's house in Florida is going into foreclosure.

And PETA wants to buy it!

PETA is asking JP Morgan, the bank who is repossessing the home, to donate it to them so they can turn it into a "Meat Is Murder" museum.

PETA's president wrote to JP Morgan's CEO:

"Our museum will remind visitors that violence may not always be preventable but that it sometimes can be prevented and that nonviolence begins on our plates.

For instance, many wonderful flesh-and-blood individuals-who feel pain and fear as acutely as humans do and who value their lives in much the same way-are knifed to death every day for nothing more than a fleeting taste of flesh."

Obviously PETA is making several references to O.J.'s murder case.

Now O.J. is currently serving 9 to 33 years in prison for armed robbery and kidnapping, and he owes almost $725,000.

Will JP Morgan donate 3/4 of a million dollars to PETA so they can make several bad puns about an over 15-year-old murder case and try and push vegetarianism?

We'll have to wait and see.

(Though we're guessing most likely no, it won't happen.)

And if there is ANYBODY who could do it, we believe it's Oprah Winfrey!

With Oprah’s Next Chapter arriving in January, she recently revealed one of her top choices for her first interview subject — O.J. Simpson!

During a recent interview in Chicago where she talked about the future of her network, OWN, and her new show, she said to a cheering crowd:

This is pret-ty damn interesting, we have to say!

It's a useful set of information to have when you're in the business of hiring celebrities to advertise or help promote things, or to decide who you wanna cast in your next flick: a list of most liked and disliked celebrities according to the internet.

Check out the "most appealing" in other words:

White, Bullock and Smith get survey scores of 55, 52 and 49, respectively, when the average celeb can only muster 19 on a scale of 1-100. E-Poll continuously asks thousands of consumers to rank stars and icons on a seemingly endless list of attributes and then slices and dices that info based on the demographics of the respondents.

The “least-appealing” celebrity list is somewhat surprising: Spencer Pratt comes out on top, beating killer and convicted robber O.J. Simpson.

Ouch! Bummer, Spence!

But it's nice to see our secret love for Captain Mal Nathan Fillion (pictured above) be recognized:

Biggest recent gainers in likability are skier Lindsey Vonn, Betty White (again, following her stint on Saturday Night Live), and Nathan Fillion. If you said “who?” to that last one, it’s because you don’t watch ABC’s Castle, but you would recognize him if he appeared in a commercial. That’s the sort of metric that makes him perfect as an adman.

Mel Gibson had the biggest decline in appeal following his domestic abuse/anti-semitism scandals. But pity poor Susan Boyle and Dennis Haysbert – both were big decliners following months out of the spotlight. And Hayes has been all but displaced from the AllState campaign by the newly popular Mayhem.

It makes total sense for use that Mel Gibson is on the decline. That's pretty much a no-brainer. It is shame to see SuBo on the decline, though!

Still, it's a fascinating bunch of information! We're sure people are already looking to use it for their advantage.

So what Celebs do U like to see more often — and which ones could U not care less about??

Charlie Sheen is having some problems getting his book, Apocalypse Me, published by anyone.

We're sure there are publishers out there that are Sheen-level crazy and willing to publish it, but three MAJOR publishers have all turned it down!

About the publishing woes:

The publishers who spoke all said they turned down the memoir and expressed amazement anyone would take it, even if a finished work would likely be a best-seller. They cited Sheen's public rants and chaotic private life, including a history of accusations of domestic violence. And Sheen has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and the executive producer of "Two and a Half Men," and he might be restricted in what he could say about the program.

Not only that, but publishers learned a lesson with OJ's "fictional" book If I Did It, and all the backlash that got. Publishers are looking to that as an example with polarizing material.

It also might be the fact that the MaSheen thinks he can get $10 million dollars for the book deal.

We feel like the only sums of money this guy can understand are in the millions!

The book will be picked up eventually, and when it does it'll be inneresting to hear who will take that leap of faith.

Will U be buying Charlie's book if it gets published??

Comes with the territory, we guess, but still, we don't wish such violence on anyone.

The National Enquirer reports that late last month, O.J. Simpson was beaten unconscious in a brutal prison yard attack!

You'll recall that currently, O.J. is serving 33 years in prison for murder armed robbery. The Juice has been allegedly trying to make friends with the other inmates by boasting about his past life, including his relationships with beautiful white women. Unfortunately for him, during one of these conversations, a group of white supremacists overheard him bragging. They were not pleased.

According to a source, the "group of young skinheads" attacked O.J. shortly after that in the yard, knocking him to the ground and punching & kicking him, inflicting some serious pain and injuries on the former NFL star. When prison officials finally got to him, they had to rush him to the infirmary, where he has been recovering for the past three weeks!

Now, sources claim that O.J. is so scared, he rarely leaves his cell.

Wow. We're sure he's terrified.

Violence is never the answer and while we don't condone any of the things he's done, we still hope he finds some solace in this place. Doesn't seem likely, but we'll hope for the best for him.

WTF is wrong with her?!

Lindsay Lohan is on the hunt for a new lawyer because she doesn't want to pay for one.

A source claims, "Lindsay wants her new attorney to represent her for free. Lindsay doesn't think she should pay for a new lawyer, period. Lindsay has gone through two attorneys already."

She has been interviewing several high profile attorneys, including Robert Shapiro, who has repped O.J. Simpson, Christian Brando and the Kardashians.

The insider continued:

"Robert hasn't decided if he is going to take the case or not.

The type of lawyers Lindsay is used to having are expensive because they are simply the best at what they do. Lindsay just doesn't have the money that she used to pay for the best. The lawyers she is interviewing wouldn't represent her for free, period."

Ha. Lots of luck with the appeal!

This is absolutely ridiculous!

O.J. Simpson apparently has a giant gay fanbase in prison with him at Nevada's Lovelock Correctional Center!

According to an unnamed former prisoner, Simpson is known as 'Daddy Juice,' and is doted upon and receives special privileges from a group of gay inmates who call themselves 'The Girls!'

LOLz!

The source claims:

"O.J. may be a pariah on the outside, but in prison, he's still a somebody. He's really tight with 'The Girls.' Whenever we'd be let out to the yard, O.J. would almost always hang out with them. The 'girls' treated him like he was a king."

We don't understand why ANYONE would want to dote on him, but regardless, this is the funniest shiz we've heard all day!

Maybe O.J. will discover his inner Queen behind bars!!

And we hope he doesn't take the case!

Michael Lohan tried to get all up in Lindsay's legal business when he went to the Beverly Hills courthouse on Friday and tried to go before Judge Marsha Revel.

Where exactly was he at the hearing on Thursday?! It's not like he's got anything better going on that his estranged daughter's
DUI probation case.

Since the judge shut his ass down, Michael claims that she told him to get his own lawyer to confer with the prosecutor. And he wants O.J.'s attorney Robert Shapiro!

WTF?! Revel said Michael would not be allowed to be heard in Lindsay's case, so how would a lawyer even help?!

YOU ARE A TOOL, MICHAEL LOHAN! And Lindsay's biggest problem! Back the eff off and stop pretending to be a father!
