Not that he needs it since he's busy serving a 33-year prison sentence for armed robbery, but he's probably still pretty bummed about this.

OJ Simpson's 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom Miami home is being foreclosed on! Guess he couldn't keep up with the bills for the $575,000 property he purchased in 2000.

By the time the former football player gets out of prison, he'll most likely be in his 70s (providing he gets parole) and ready to retire to Boca Raton anyway.

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??

Apparently OJ Simpson is too tough to take a beating in prison — at least that’s what he claims amid rumors of him getting roughed up while behind bars.

Sources at the Lovelock Correctional Center recently reported that Simpson had been beaten to a “bloody pulp.” However, an official rep cofirmed that there have been no incidents involving OJ.

After OJ heard the rumors about him getting beaten, he reportedly had a good laugh.

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!
