O.J. Simpson Kills Many Drinks, Gets Booted from Vegas Hotel
Might O.J. Simpson be headed back to prison?!?
Before you bust out in a celebratory touchdown dance of some kind, allow us to explain…
Both TMZ and Radar Online report that the former running back and accused murderer was kicked out of the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday night after allegedly getting drunk and then growing very belligerent.
Simpson has been residing in Sin City ever since his release from prison.
Sources say he’s been frequenting bars at the aforementioned hotel on a frequent basis during his most recent run as a free man.
Around midnight last night/this morning, though, Simpson became disruptive at the Clique bar, TMZ writes.
He yelled at various hotel employees for some reason and even broke a few glasses at the bar.
Here’s a picture of The Juice strolling through the premises, as captured by a TSN reporter on the scene named Brian Munz.
Security guards were reportedly called to the bar and removed Simpson from the establishment.
He’s since been banned permanently from the hotel.
How might all this play into the bigger picture?
Why might O.J. end up back in jail as a result of his inebriated actions?
As a condition of Simpson’s parole, he is not permitted to drink to intoxication in public, meaning he could be prosecuted for these actions and end up back in the slammer.
Is this likely to occur?
No, let’s not get our hopes up.
For starters, it’s unclear just what is spelled out in his probation.
And it would be very difficult to prove Simpson was actually drunk, at least in terms of whatever it says in his legal documents.
But a source tells Radar that Las Vegas police have a “permanent tail” on Simpson and are “waiting to pounce the minute he screws up.”
They’re aware that he may be free right now, but that he’s also a sociopath who has an anger problem and could very well violated his parole at any time.
A nation can collectively hope, at least.
Simpson was released from prison last month after serving nine years for a botched hotel robbery in 2007.
He also probably killed his ex-wife and her boyfriend many years ago.
We’re pretty sure he did, in fact.

Bruce Paddock: Las Vegas Shooter"s Brother Arrested For Child Porn
Bruce Paddock, brother of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, has reportedly been arrested for possession of child pornography.
TMZ is reporting that Paddock was taken into custody in North Hollywood, CA early this morning.
Authorities say the arrest is the result of a months-long investigation that began long before Stephen Paddock carried out the deadliest mass shooting in US history on October 1.
Sources say police had been unsuccessfully attempting to locate Bruce for months.
After the shooting, police reportedly received a tip that the 58-year-old was residing in an assisted living facility in California.
Paddock was apparently awaiting surgery for spinal stenosis at the time of his arrest.
According to a felony complaint, in 2014 Paddock was in possession of 600 sexually explicit photos of minors.
Paddock reportedly faces 19 counts of sexual exploitation of a child and one count of possession of child pornography.
Strangely, Bruce spoke to the press seemingly without hesitation following news that his brother had murdered 58 concertgoers and injured 546 others.
“I don’t know how he could stoop to this low point, hurting someone else. It wasn’t suicide by cop since he killed himself,” he said at the time.
“He killed a bunch of people and then killed himself so he didn’t have to face whatever it was.”
It was Bruce who revealed that that he and Stephen’s father had been a bank robber who was hunted by the FBI.
Shortly after the shooting, Bruce stated that he was “annoyed” that his brother’s crimes had brought new attention to some of his past misdeeds, including a vandalism charge for which he was sentenced to community service that he never carried out.
“I’m not proud of it,” he said. “But I never went to prison.”
Bruce also told the media that in the months leading up to the shooting, he had attempted to reconcile with his estranged brothers and mother, but was unable to do so.
I want to see if we could patch up what we destroyed so many years ago,” he said.
He added that he had only succeeded in locating his mother, “and she’s yelling at me all the time not to talk to anyone.”
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Brittany Kerr and Jason Aldean Mark Emotional Return to Las Vegas
Very tastefully, Saturday Night Live had Jason Aldean on to play a moving tribute to the Las Vegas shooting victims.
Now, his wife marked their somber return to Las Vegas with a powerful photograph.
Remember — Jason and Brittany aren’t just symbols of the shooting because so many victims were Jason’s fans. They themselves are survivors.
First, we have to talk about Brittany’s harrowing experience during the shooting itself.
This was doubly — actually, triple-y scary for Jason Aldean’s wife. She wasn’t just worried about herself or her husband or the crowd.
Brittany Aldean is pregnant, you guys.
In the aftermath of the terrorist shooting, Brittany posted about her experience to Instagram — and it’s clear that her pregnancy and her unborn child loomed heavily in her mind.
“When the gunfire started, I was not with Jason, but with some friends in a tent close to Mandalay.”
As if a shooting isn’t bad enough already — not being with your loved one but knowing that they’re out there is even worse.
“As you can imagine my first instinct was to run to him and his was the same.”
Of course it was!
“As we laid behind equipment onstage with some of our road family, bullets flying past… all I could think was ‘I never even got to hold my baby."”
A terrifying thought.
We get that she’s famous and so some people don’t want to feel sorry for her, but remember that everyone experiences terrorist attacks the same way. It’s a war zone.
“We all made sure the others knew we loved them and then ran for cover where we stayed for the next couple hours. (Not knowing if there were multiple shooters, where the bullets were coming from… NOTHING)”
Remember, we know a lot about the shooter now, but at the time they didn’t even know how many attackers there were.
“We were the lucky ones. I can’t put into words the pain and heartache we feel for the ones who are no longer with us.”
We all understand.
“Took me a while to be able to write these words… thank you to everyone who has reached out to Jason and I… Means the world to us.”
Some people never find the words. And that’s okay.
Now, Jason and Brittany have returned to Vegas and shared a photo that would almost seem innocuous if you didn’t know the context.
Brittany shared this caption:
“Feels surreal being back in Vegas today. Visiting some of the strongest people we have ever met… fighting the toughest battle of them all… for their lives.”
She thanks the fellow survivors in Vegas.
“You have helped us try to begin the healing process by seeing the strength each one of you have. Thank you for today. We will never forget. #vegasstrong”
That’s a moving message.
She kept it short, but that seems appropriate. She’s already shared her experiences. And we’re sure that she doesn’t want to talk over other survivors.
The couple’s response in general has been very encouraging.
Jason Aldean went onto SNL, as we mentioned, to perform Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.”
That surprise performance was powerful, emotional, and a very appropriate tribute to the victims — those who made it and those who didn’t.
It’s all part of the long, long healing process.
Quite frankly, though, until we know a lot more about the shooting and resolve some of the public’s unanswered questions, we don’t know how anyone can truly heal.
