Jayson was shipped off to Hunterdon County Correctional Facility in New Jersey on Monday -- but we're told it's only a temporary home for Williams until he's transferred to more permanent quarters.

Williams has to serve at least 18 months behind bars before he's eligible for parole -- so hopefully the next place has a hoops court too.

We got the winning skater ... and his gold medal ... outside "Larry King Live" last night, where he said Evgeni Plushenko's routine was "inspired" -- and the Russian is only criticizing Evan because "he's under a lot of pressure."

Translation: I beat his ass fair and square.

Ole Miss is in the middle of a movement to replace their old mascot -- Colonel Reb -- after the school decided they wanted to update their image.

Tuesday, the students voted in favor of crowning a new mascot to represent Rebel Nation ... and the favorite so far is none other than the most famous Mon Calamari in the entire universe.

Several pro-Ackbar websites have recently emerged -- making the Admiral the heavy favorite. The University tells us the decision on the mascot is entirely in the hands of the student mascot committee. The University will hold a vote in the near future -- we'll keep you updated.

May The Force be with you.

It all went down during what Scott thought was an interview with Philadelphia Eagles' recently released running back Brian Westbrook -- until the guy, legendary prank caller Captain Janks, mentioned a certain body part of the King of All Media.

Scott's initial reaction, "Oh boy, we got that, huh?"

ESPN has officially suspended "Pardon the Interruption" host Tony Kornheiser for 2 weeks -- after TK made "hurtful and personal comments" about a female SportsCenter anchor.

The drama began last week on Kornheiser's radio show -- when he commented on an outfit Hannah Storm wore during a recent SC broadcast, saying her "Catholic school plaid skirt" was "way too short for somebody" her age. He also claimed her tight shirt looked like a "sausage casing."

Yesterday, Kornheiser did not appear on PTI -- and now an ESPN executive VP of content John Skipper is finally offering an explanation: "Tony Kornheiser's comments about Hannah Storm were entirely inappropriate."

Skipper added, "Hurtful and personal comments such as these are not acceptable and have significant consequences. Tony has been suspended from PTI for two weeks."

Kornheiser has already issued an apology on his radio show.

The 33 foot tall "replica" to Euro Greasy was built as part of some sort of Nike promotion.

Just don't do it.

Tillman and his two doggy friends -- Rose and Lyle -- hit the slopes in Wrightwood, CA yesterday where they laid some serious tracks.

Oh yeah, Tillman also surfs.

Snowboarder Scotty Lago is gonna have to wait an extra day to receive the key to his hometown in New Hampshire ... but the delay has nothing to do with that racy photo that got him booted from Vancouver.

A parade for Lago was originally scheduled for this Saturday in Seabrook, NH -- but according to the parade coordinator, Shaylia Marquis, it had to be moved to Sunday because Lago is appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Friday in Los Angeles.

Marquis said the parade is set to go down at 1 PM, and will end with a private ceremony in which Scotty will be handed a key to the town.

San Diego Chargers star Vincent Jackson is going to jail -- after pleading guilty to a 2009 DUI charge.

Jackson -- who had a DUI on his record before the 2009 incident -- was sentenced to spend 96 hours in jail and five years probation.

The Pro-Bowler must also attend a Mothers Against Drunk Driving Class and pay a $2,408 fine.

Sluggerrr the Lion -- the mascot for the Kansas City Royals -- is accused of poking a fan's eye out with a steaming hot wiener during a Major League Baseball game last year ... and now the team is being sued over it.

It's all in a lawsuit filed in Jackson County, Missouri in which John Coomer claims he was just chillin' at a game on September 8, 2009 -- when Slugger "climbed atop the third base dugout and started shooting hotdogs into the stands from an air gun."

Coomer claims Slugger eventually put the air gun down -- and started firing off the wieners by hand ... when, according to the suit, things went horribly wrong.

In the docs, Coomer claims "Slugger lost control of his throw or was reckless with his throw, and threw the hotdog directly into the Plaintiff."

Coomer claims the dog hit him right in his left eye -- leaving him with a detached retina and the development of cataracts.

Coomer is now suing the Royals for more than $25k for negligence and battery -- claiming they "failed to adequately train its agents ... in the proper method in which to throw hotdogs into the stands at Kauffman Stadium."

As we first reported, Larry's speeding Cadillac Escalade was repeatedly captured by police cameras in Arizona -- four times in August '09 and once in November of '09... but the only ticket that could theoretically stick was the one written in November ... because that's the only one with a black guy behind the wheel.

Maricopa County court officials tell TMZ all five tickets have been dismissed -- which means Larry even dodged the November bullet.

In a truly scary moment during the Elimination Chamber event in St. Louis, some rogue pyrotechnics went off during The Undertaker's entrance -- and the WWE star was caught in the middle of a giant fireball.

But instead of doing the stop, drop and roll, the wrestler shook it off, threw his jacket to the floor and entered the ring.

We're told he was checked by medics before his match -- and his only injury was comparable to a sunburn on his chest.

Lago offered up an apology after a mildly suggestive photo of him -- using his bronze medal for snowboarding to score chicks -- popped up on the Internet. He agreed to leave the Olympic Village on his own accord, but sources close to Lago tell TMZ he received an ultimatum from the U.S. Olympic Committee: either say you're sorry and go ... or get ejected from the Olympic Village.

As for when we might hear from Lago himself ... we're told he's in a "blackout period" -- meaning he can't talk about the incident at all until March 3.

According to cops in Saugus, Massachusetts, the teenager claimed it all started when he approached Orton for a photograph while in the parking lot of a local restaurant.

The kid told cops Orton suddenly became enraged, spit gum in his face and then called him a nasty name -- and when the kid's mother approached Orton about it, he allegedly told her "so sue me."

According to documents filed yesterday in District Court in Massachusetts, there was "no probable cause found" to charge Orton with a crime.

Scotty apologized to the U.S. Olympic Committee and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association after we posted the photo -- taken on a public street with a crowd of people watching -- before volunteering to go home.
