O.J. Simpson walked out of prison with a couple boxes of his most prized jail possessions -- all because he was afraid of eBay's wrath ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources at Nevada's Lovelock Correctional Center -- where O.J. was released early Sunday morning -- tell us he took a handful of his prison belongings with him because he thought fellow inmates and even prison staff would possibly try to sell it on eBay for quick cash if he left it behind.

The prison suggested he take his crap, and he agreed.

We're told O.J. was alerted to his release on short notice, and only had enough time to gather a few of his things before he had to scram. He walked out with boxes that included a hot plate, legal paperwork, a couple pairs of shoes, some clothing and a pillow.

Sources also say his surprise Sunday release was pre-planned, as prison officials felt this would be the quietest way to get him out without a media frenzy.

He walked out the door at 12:08 AM.

Blac Chyna spent time with her daughter Dream Saturday per her custody settlement with Rob Kardashian.

Chyna was in L.A. with her nanny, who's clutching the 10-month old, as she spent time with the kid.

TMZ broke the story ... Chyna and Rob have 50/50 joint custody and he's paying her $20k a month in child support. Don't be surprised if Rob goes back into court to either reduce the support payment or eliminate it, because we've learned he's broke and his family is paying the $20k.

Chyna will join Amber Rose today for the annual SlutWalk. Chyna will appear with her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, and top of mind for them is the revenge porn Rob posted in anger.

Amber Rose is taking to the streets again to speak out against rape culture and slut shaming through her third annual SlutWalk in L.A. ... and her new man was front and center to support her.

Amber's hosting the women's rights event in Downtown, and she's got some special guests on hand to help her deliver her message -- one Blac Chyna and Just Brittany ... not to mention her BF 21 Savage.

BC and Brittany have both dealt with slut shaming this year -- Chyna through ex, Rob Kardashian, posting revenge porn ... and Brittany through online backlash she received for accusing her rapper BF Z-Ro of domestic abuse.

Amber rode out on a golf cart with Savage dressed as Captain Save a Hoe ... cape, wig and all. Savage even marched with her with a sign that read "I'm a Hoe Too."

Doesn't look like there are any tears this year either ... Amber's on cloud 9.

Michael Che called Donald Trump lots of things on "SNL" Saturday night, including a bitch, which is all fair game ... but did he cross the line when he called Trump a "cracker."

Che went off on the Prez during Weekend Update over Trump's handling of the Puerto Rican crisis. He took aim at Trump and Melania, but then dropped the term that is widely regarded as a derogatory term referring to white people.

Some people think calling someone a "cracker" is akin to using the n word, but others disagree.

So we gotta ask ...

Wynonna Judd had a serious medical emergency Saturday night that torpedoed her concert.

Wynonna was supposed to perform at Aura nightclub in Portland, Maine. Her opening band took the stage and completed its set and the scene was set for Wynonna to appear. But that didn't happen.

Her production manager came out and said the singer had "a medical emergency" and was unable to perform.

A law enforcement source tells TMZ, someone called 911 and the fire department responded, but Wynonna did not want to be taken to a hospital so EMT's left.

O.J. Simpson tried something new on for size early Sunday morning ... freedom.

Simpson signed his exit papers and was then released from Nevada's Lovelock Correctional Center just after midnight ... minutes after he was eligible to be paroled. The release was stealth, because prison officials wanted to avoid a media crush.

As he walked out, he was told by prison staff, "Don't come back" ... it's a standard issue farewell. The 70-year-old convict replied, "I don't intend to."

A driver was waiting to whisk Simpson away. For now he'll be staying somewhere in Nevada ... he wants to live in Florida but the paperwork hasn't been processed. Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is trying to block the move.

Hugh Hefner's most prized asset -- his ownership of Playboy -- could be in flux for a full year.

Hef sold his company, Playboy Enterprises, back in March 2011, but retained a 35% minority ownership in the company. Our Playboy sources tell us there were strings attached to Hef's shares in the company ... strings that affect his children.

We're told under the deal, Playboy Enterprises has one year from the time of Hef's death to buy back his shares, assuming his estate and Playboy can reach an agreement. If they can't, after one year Hef's 35% interest is up for grabs -- the highest bidder gets it.

Our sources say proceeds from the sale will go to Hefner's kids. Playboy insiders say Hef's shares should fetch around $45 million.

And our sources say ... it's likely Playboy Enterprises will make the deal sometime in the next year, because the shares aren't that attractive to an outsider, who would not have majority control nor would they have the power and influence wielded by Hef.

Gotta say ... $45 million's a lot of moola, but you'd think the guy who founded a globally iconic brand would reap a bigger payday.

Kylie Jenner's on a mission to outfit her daughter in the swaggiest baby gear money can buy -- as in $70,000 -- and she's done most of it behind closed doors.

Sources close to Jenner tell TMZ the mom-to-be has made online baby shopping a habit ... surfing the web for high-end designer clothing and baby accessories. We're told she's already got one huge closet filled and plenty more is on the way.

Kylie's also venturing out to OG brick and mortar retailers ... she hit up a few stores in the San Fernando Valley.

We're told in all, Kylie's dropped north of $70k. One Kylie source familiar with the purchases tells TMZ, "This is gonna be the best dressed kid you've ever seen."

Jay-Z made a not-so-subtle statement on the season opener of 'SNL' ... with his Colin Kaepernick jersey.

Jay and Damian Marley were the musical guests and performed "Bam" from his "4:44" album.

It's an "unofficial" jersey but the message is clear ...  it's all about Black Lives Matter and the national anthem kneeling controversy.

Prince Harry has gone full blown public with his relationship with Meghan Markle, planting a kiss during a Bruce Springsteen concert at the Invictus Games.

Harry and Meghan cut loose in a luxury box Saturday night at Toronto's Air Canada Centre.

The Invictus Games is a celebration of men and women who served in the military and suffered debilitating injuries.

In addition to Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Kelly Clarkson and Bachman & Turner closed out the Games, which lasted 7 days.

Harry founded the games ... he's very much his mother's son.

Hugh Hefner went to his final resting place Saturday, but only a select few of his closest friends and family were on hand for the ceremony ... TMZ has learned.

Our Playboy sources tell us ... Hef's 4 children, his wife Crystal Harris and some key Playboy staffers attended the funeral at L.A.'s Westwood Village Memorial Park Saturday at noon.

As we reported ... Hefner's crypt is directly to the left of Marilyn Monroe's -- he bought the burial spot for $75k in 1992. He'll have plenty of good company ... the cemetery is filled with celebs, many with Playboy ties.

One of the people buried in the cemetery -- around 100 feet from Hef's crypt -- is Dorothy Stratten, a Playboy Playmate who was murdered in 1980 by her estranged husband when she was just 20 years old. Her boyfriend at the time of her death, famed director Peter Bogdanovich, railed against Hefner, blaming him and the "Playboy sex factory" for her demise.

Rob Kardashian is hellbent on making a comeback following his breakup with Blac Chyna and what's motivating him this time is another gal ... his daughter, Dream.

If you recall ... Rob started to get back in shape and healthy again when he began dating Chyna, but it all went to hell when their breakup drama ignited. Rob spiraled back into another deep depression and gained back the weight he lost ... and then some.

We're told he's determined to lose it and has already hired a nutritionist and started working out again. His goal is to get back to the "old Rob" and he's determined to do it on his own ... with no help from friends or family.

As we previously reported, Rob now has 50/50 custody of his daughter with Chyna, and he's forking over $20k a month in child support, despite being broke. His family is footing the bill ... for now.

We're told his friends and family are skeptical he can rebound without their help, but they do believe he loves Dream so much he might have a fighting chance.

"SNL" was hilarious for it's season opener ... Alec Baldwin tore the Prez apart over his reaction to the Puerto Rican disaster.

No stone was left unturned. The Sarah Huckabee Sanders impression was cringe-worthy. Ditto Jeff Sessions, who planted a smooch on Trump's cheek as he pledged his blind loyalty.

The phone call between the mayor of Puerto Rico and Trump is hilarious ... especially how Trump mischaracterizes the call and blasts her to Sarah.

Definitely no shortage of material this season.

Hugh Hefner is gone, but his memory will live on ... and the most famous Hef impersonator plans to do his part to keep Hef's legacy alive.

George Kane's been making a living for years as a "dead ringer" for the Playboy founder, after winning a look-alike contest in 2010 in Key West. He's done club appearances, private parties, bachelorette parties and corporate events ... but tells us he's giving all that up now and will only work to honor Hef.

Sounds like he'll have a chance soon too ... George says he's received some calls about making a tribute appearance.

Hugh Hefner died Wednesday at the age of 91.

Chris Darden thinks once a double murderer, always a double murderer ... and that's why he thinks the Florida Attorney General may have a point in trying to block O.J. Simpson from moving to the Sunshine State.

We got the famous O.J. prosecutor at LAX Friday and -- even though O.J. was acquitted -- Darden still calls him a double murderer. He worries for unlucky parents who might end up living next door to Simpson.

Darden has no faith O.J. has been rehabilitated in the last 9 years behind bars.
