Lil Wayne has arrived at Rikers Island jail in New York -- which means he only has 364-and-a-half more days to go.
Weezy arrived to the NY jail in a corrections van -- we're told because the rapper is a "high-profile inmate," he was not transported with any other prisoners.
As of now, we're told the rapper is still undergoing the admissions procedure at the jail -- which entails a physical & mental health exam & questionnaire.
It has yet to be determined whether Lil Wayne will be in the general population at Rikers -- or if he will be given his own cell.
And since moving can make any convicted felon hungry, the jail chef has the perfect dish for Wayne's first night -- noodles with beef sausage & marinara sauce, steamed greens, a mixed green salad, whole wheat bread, sliced peaches & a fruit drink or tea.
Weezy was sentenced to a year in the big house for a gun charge -- but he could be out sooner if he stays on his best behavior.
Lil Wayne just got a judge to agree to place him in protective custody while he serves one year in jail for a gun conviction.
The judge asked Wayne before sentencing if he wanted to make a statement but Lil just shook his head no.
After he was sentenced, Lil Wayne was cuffed, turned to his fans in the courtroom and bowed his head.
Lil Wayne also asked for special medical attention while in the pokey because of his dental problems.
Lil Wayne's mentor, Birdman, was in court to bid him farewell.
This is the fourth time Wayne was supposed to be sentenced. The first time was postponed because of dental surgery and the second and third times were because of a fire in the courthouse.
If Lil Wayne actually goes to jail today on weapons charges (like he's scheduled to), Food Network chef Paula Deen has the perfect suggestion for his last meal -- Collard greens ... to "clean his butt out."
Lil Wayne will not be going to jail today -- dude's check-in date was just pushed back again ... for the 3rd time!!!
If you've been following the saga, Wayne was originally supposed to go to jail a few weeks ago ... but the judge cut him a break so the rapper could swap out his diamond teeth for a less expensive set.
Then -- he was supposed to check in yesterday, until a fire broke out in the courthouse and everyone was sent home.
Now, the judge has decided to once again push back Wayne's court date so more repairs can be made to the courthouse.
According to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, Wayne will be back on Monday ... unless some other crazy, unexpected thing delays the case again.
Which means there's still time to bake Weezy another going away cake!
Two days before starting his one year jail sentence for a gun charge, Lil Wayne showed off his refurbished, replacement teeth at his going away party at LIV in Miami on Sunday.
As TMZ previously reported, the NY judge allowed Wayne to visit the dentist a few days ago -- so the rapper could swap out his $150,000 diamond teeth for some less expensive chompers before he checked into the slammer.
At his going away party, Weezy got a cake that read "Keep Ya Head Up" -- unfortunately, it doesn't mention anything about keeping his mouth shut.
Charlie Sheen's Christmas call to his ex-wife Denise Richards came collect -- and from jail -- this according to Denise.
On today's "Oprah," Denise said Charlie called to talk to their daughters after he was arrested on domestic abuse charges Christmas morning in December.
Denise added Sheen flung "a lot of verbal abuse" towards her when they were married -- but he never hit her.
With all the time in the world on their hands, the inmates of Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines have learned another Michael Jackson routine ... with some help.
Jackson's long-time choreographer Travis Payne, with dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid, taught the inmates routines from "This Is It."
Joshua Malina from "The West Wing" has no problem with a firehouse in his neighborhood -- but he's a little nervous about plans to turn it into a makeshift prison. Can ya blame him?
Malibu is considering a plan to have Fire Camp 8 house 80-100 inmates in the near future. Malina tells TMZ he found out about the plan on Saturday after he found a flier taped to his mailbox. We're guessing it goes something like this: "Dear resident, Have you have ever wanted to live near a bunch of convicted felons? Well now's your chance!"
But seriously ... Malina tells TMZ, "The fire camp is a quarter of a mile from my home. My kids and their friends bike, skateboard, run, and play here. That will all change if a jail opens in our midst. It is deeply disturbing to think that such an extreme decision would be made without any interaction with the residents here."
The fire camp tells us 24 fire camps in Los Angeles County currently house inmates and they are still "looking into what camp to house the inmates."
Richard Heene won't have to worry about the "shower situation" in lockdown -- TMZ has learned dude will get to shower alone.
Heene has roughly an hour to check himself into Larimer County Detention Center -- where he will begin his 90-day sentence for being a hoax-running, resource-abusing d-bag.
We're told Balloon Dad has quite a schedule when he arrives at the jail -- starting with a 72 hour evaluation where authorities will decide where to put the guy.
Heene will also be issued his orange uniform.
As for the food -- Heene will eat breakfast at 6:15 AM every morning. Lights out is at 10:30 PM.
At least he'll be eating like true royalty -- his first meal is turkey a la king with rice.
Mel Gibson's movie career is changing the way bad guys serve time in Mexico -- 300 inmates have been moved to another big house to make room for a movie Gibson is shooting.
It's all going down at the Ignacio Allende prison in Veracruz, Mexico -- the prison director claims he's emptied part of the prison so Mel could use the facility for an upcoming movie.
The prison director says the inmates have been sent to at least 4 jails. It's unclear which movie Gibson is planning to shoot inside the facility.
President Ronald Reagan's 31-year-old grandson was arrested at his parent's home this morning in L.A. -- after someone pushed a panic button inside the house.
We're told when LAPD officers arrived at the home, Cameron Reagan -- son of political radio host Michael Reagan -- was screaming profanities at the cops.
Reagan was ultimately taken into custody at 12:20 AM. He was later booked at a Van Nuys jail on the misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest at 5:49 AM.
He's still in police custody.
It's not Cameron's first run-in with the law -- back in 1999 he was sentenced to six months in jail on charges of receiving stolen property for his role in two car burglaries.
UPDATE: The Reagan family claims Cameron accidentally set off the panic alarm -- and the whole thing was a giant misunderstanding.
TMZ has learned lawyers for Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are no longer asking the judge in the domestic violence case to lift the restraining order.
Law enforcement sources tell us both Sheen and Mueller are fine with certain parts of the existing order -- specifically, that Charlie not be in possession of a gun or other weapon, that he refrain from drinking or using drugs, and that he not harass or annoy Mueller any possible witnesses in the case.
We're told they are now asking the judge to merely lift the portion of the order prohibiting them from having any contact or cohabiting with each other. They also agree that a "safety plan" be put in place for Mueller's protection.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the prosecutor will neither support nor oppose the more limited motion by Mueller and Sheen.
But, we've learned, swift justice is not forthcoming. We're told the hearing on the motion -- set for Monday -- has been postponed, and it's likely the motion now will not be hearing until January 11.
An obsessed fan of Audrina Patridge received the best gift of all this holiday season ... community service (his other options were a lot worse).
Zachary Loring was sentenced to 30 days community service after pleading guilty to one count of vandalism for defacing an electrical box in Los Angeles. He was also charged with carrying a switchblade, but that count was dropped as part of the plea deal.
The court case is not connected to another legal problem facing Loring -- allegedly harassing Audrina. She obtained a restraining order against him after he allegedly showed up to her house and sent her creepy letters and drawings.
Loring was placed on 36 months probation and can't possess deadly weapons, aerosol paint containers, felt tip markers or indelible ink markers. He can carry a pencil.
