Nick Hogan is moving into the big part of the Big House.

The wrestling scion, who's currently serving eight months in a Florida jail for a DUI crash that left his passenger irreparably injured, will be moved on July 27—his 18th birthday—from the space he's currently sharing with fellow juvenile offenders into the general population.

Contrary to a TMZ report that he was switching facilities, Hogan, whose real last name is Bollea, is just going to be bunking in another part of the same jail, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Jim Borden told E! News Wednesday.

It only took Khloe Kardashian four hours and 27 minutes in the Los Angeles penal system to learn one of celebitydom's toughest lessons: When in doubt, hire a driver.

The 24-year-old boutique owner and Keeping Up With the Kardashians star opened up to E! News anchor Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show this morning, divulging the truth about her quickie Friday jail stint, so required after she violated probation on a DUI charge.

For a start, Kardashian said she's "very happy to have all of this behind me and to have learned a very, very good lesson." She then explained that her original bust came about not because of any unchecked wild-child behavior, but because she was mourning the four-year anniversary of the loss of her father, former O.J. Simpson defender Robert Kardashian.

"Everybody deals with it differently, but I have dealt with it the hardest," Kardashian said, adding that "drinking was a way for me to just deal with it." (Listen to the entire interview.)

Amy Winehouse's beloved Blake Incarcerated has only just begun to earn his nickname.

Winehouse was not present in Snaresbrook Crown Court to hear her other half's fate.

You've got to be quick to keep up with the Kardashians. Khloe Kardashian's brief yet slightly eventful incarceration has come to a close.

Kardashian was released at 1:29 p.m., bringing her total time in custody to four hours and 37 minutes.

We're thinking the wage earned pulling kitchen and laundry duty isn't going to cut it...

Lou Pearlman, the imprisoned boy-band visionary who bilked a number of banks and private investors out of $300 million, has been ordered to repay the entire sum to his victims—starting with the unfortunate, unincorporated individuals who had the misfortune of doing "business" with Pearlman.

The 10 banks, including Washington Mutual and Bank of America, that unwittingly loaned him money under false pretenses will be the last to collect any restitution, according to the ruling issued Wednesday by U.S. District Judge G. Kendall Sharp.

The Kardashians can keep a low profile if they really want to.

Khloe Kardashian, Kim's 24-year-old little sis, is headed to jail this week to start serving a 30-day sentence for probation violation stemming from a DUI charge she notched back in March 2007, E! News has confirmed.

"Khloe is ready and willing to serve out her sentence, no matter how long and where, and have this resolved," her rep, Jeff Raymond, said in a statement Monday.

The scenester and clothing boutique co-owner was sentenced Aug. 27 to 36 months' probation and community service with the California Department of Transportation, as well as ordered to complete an alcohol-education program, after pleading no contest to driving under the influence on March 4, 2007, according to Los Angeles City Attorney's Office spokesman Frank Mateljan.

DMX is making a point of getting to know the bars everywhere he goes.

The beleaguered rapper was arrested for the third time in two weeks Wednesday when he landed in Phoenix and deplaned right into the cold embrace of an outstanding warrant issued when he, among other things, missed a court hearing.

DMX was flying in from Florida, where he was busted twice last week—on June 23 for driving with an invalid license and then four days later for allegedly trying to purchase marijuana and cocaine from an undercover cop.

DMX can run, but he can't hide from trouble. Especially if he walks right up to it and demands it kick his butt.

The rapper, who's currently facing animal-cruelty charges in Arizona, was arrested Friday afternoon in Miami after he allegedly tried to buy drugs from an undercover cop.

According to the police report obtained by the Miami Herald, DMX approached the officer and asked for ''30 powder and 15 weed," aka $30 worth of cocaine and $15 of marijuana.

Before his world shrinks to an 8-by-10 cell, Wesley Snipes would like to cross a few oceans.

The embattled actor has filed a request in federal court for permission to leave the country, first to London to sit in on the editing process for his new horror flick Gallowwalker, and then to Bangkok to film the action thriller Chasing the Dragon. Cameras are set to roll Sept. 8 and production is expected to last eight weeks.

According to the filing, Snipes' unavailability could jeopardize his "future livelihood as an actor," not to mention his ability to pay restitution for his crimes.

Looks like the British media weren't the only ones suspicious of Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty's palling around.

Winehouse's incarcerated hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil, apparently was, too. And as a British court heard today, he was willing to put his money where his suspicions were.

A recently freed inmate from Pentonville Prison, where Fielder-Civil is currently locked up, testified in a separate case that he was offered roughly $40,000 by the Winehouse's jealous mister to "smash to pieces" the Babyshambles rocker.
