O.J. can't get a steak in Louisville

We’re pretty sick of Kentucky Derby sightings, but this one has legs. Jeff Ruby, the owner of a Louisville steakhouse, refused to serve one O.J. Simpson when the infamous NFL Hall of Famer came in with a group of about 12 people last Friday night, the AP reports.

A “giddy” customer was excited about the celeb sighting, so Ruby went to the former running back and said, “I’m not serving you.” Ruby said when Simpson didn’t respond, he repeated himself and left the room. Simpson later went to Ruby, said he understood, and left with his party. “It was the first time since 1994 he has ever shown any class” by leaving quietly, Ruby said, saying the attention Simpson got after the slayings of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman made him “sick to my stomach.”

O.J. attorney Yale Galanter said the incident was racially motivated and he intended to pursue action against the steakhouse. “He screwed with the wrong guy, he really did,” Galanter said. And we know what happens when O.J.’s angry at someone ... he sues them.

Federline blows our increasingly neutral assessment of him

The Kentucky Derby was waaaaaay back on Saturday, but the New York Post’s Page Six delivers the goods about a party in downtown Louisville featuring our fave punching bag, Kevin Federline. K-Fed started the evening by complaining his table at a party was too small by saying, “Yo, I need a bigger table — I got six bitches with me.”

After a set by DJ AM, Fed-Ex snatched the mic from Kid Rock to shout to the ladies, “I got four kids already — which one of you Kentucky girls wants to have my fifth?” Crickets. Oh Kevin, will you never learn?

Kid Rock and Anna Nicole would have made a great couple

Maxim shares the most heart-warming story since Paris fired her manager. Kid Rock says he got in a tussle with Anna Nicole Smith at last year’s Kentucky Derby: “I had my son with me, and she strolls in shooting a TV show, so I politely ask her ‘Miss, we’re just trying to have a good time, and you’ve got those [bleeping] cameras rolling. And she was like, ‘[Bleep] you.’ So I was like ‘[Bleep] me? [Bleep] you. You’re a [bleep]ing pig,’ ” he tells the mag. Good example there, daddy.

Then, to smooth things over, Anna apologizes to the child and gives him $300. “I didn’t know about it until we got home ’cause he bought some Nintendo [bleep],” Rock says. “I’m like, ‘Where did you get the money?’ He’s like, ‘That blond girl with the big boobs gave it to me.’ ” And who says polite society is dead?

The King to meet the Queen, y'all

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II won't be the only royalty at today's Kentucky Derby.

Richard Petty, or "King Richard" to NASCAR fans, will fly to Louisville on an invitation from Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher, ESPN.com reported.

"If I meet the Queen, it'll probably be a nod and that's about as far as it'll go, " Petty said.

"... I don't speak English. I speak Southern American, and I don't know if she would understand that or not." Asked how he'll act, Petty laughed and said, "I've got a queen at home (wife Lynda) that I have to act to. The rest of them don't make a whole lot of difference."
