... New York, where he'll now be staying in a luxurious prison known as the Oneida Correctional Facility.

The New York State Department of Correctional Services tells us Plaxico was moved from Ulster Correctional Facility in Napanoch, NY this morning and taken to his new permanent home at Oneida, which is in Rome, New York.

We're told Plaxico -- who was sentenced to two years in prison last week -- will be separated from the general population and staying in the long-term protective custody unit.

We're told there are only 18 inmates currently staying in Plax's section of the prison -- which can hold up to 43 at a time.

When the guy asked the former UFC champ for some cash, Tito flatly denied him, saying "I worked my ass off for my s**t ... laziness don't get you anywhere in life."

This has been Tito Ortiz's motivational moment of the day.

DMX -- who has to be good an bobbing and weaving by now -- is set to box some dude named Eric Martinez during the "Celebrity Fight" section of an Alabama Pride MMA event in December. We're told Eric is an "up-and-coming actor" -- who we're guessing will soon star in DMX's next police report.

X's rep tells us the rapper has been "working out really hard," "eating right," and is "looking forward to having some fun" -- which we're guessing is prison-speak for beating some poor sap's face in before laundry duty.

On a positive note, maybe they were all just chanting "Booooooks."

The San Diego Charger legend was a guest at the Professional Bull Rider's Invitational this weekend in Ontario, CA -- where he learned first hand what it feels like to be taken down to the ground ... hard.

Although the bull's tackle looks pretty painful, we're told Seau only suffered minor bruising.

Yesterday in D.C., the preacher man with the best bouffant in the biz told us the only things he'll be fighting are "illiteracy" and "ignorance" as part of a national tour on education. No word on how "ignorance" looks in spandex.

We're told Sharpton was given a "nominal fee" for travel expenses -- but donated that moolah to the tour.

It appears Lamar Odom has gotten cold feet and called the whole thing off -- his planned appearance at a sporting goods store, that is.

L.O. was supposed to sign autographs today at a mall in Huntington Beach, Calif. -- but just canceled. We talked to the store and apparently Odom told them he couldn't make it because of that whole wedding thing he's got going on tomorrow.

The appearance was booked about a month ago -- or right around when he met Khloe Kardashian.

UPDATE -- A rep for the company that set up the event tells us they "will be and are currently reimbursing individuals for their pre-paid tickets."

Odom has lawyered up and so has Khloe. The problem is ... they have to get married on Sunday and there isn't enough time to hash out the details of a prenuptial agreement.

Why, you ask, isn't there enough time? We've learned they must get married on Sunday because one of the Kardashian reality shows is footing the $1 million bill for the wedding, but the deal is that the wedding must be shot this Sunday.

So we're told Lamar wants a postnup -- meaning the agreement will be hashed out and hopefully signed after Sunday's event.

Now here's the intrigue. There's talk that Sunday's wedding might not be the real deal -- it could be a non-binding ceremony. It's common with a postnup that bride and groom would not officially tie the knot until after they sign the document. What they typically do sign before the ceremony is an acknowledgment that it's not really an official wedding, to prevent misunderstandings down the road.

And speaking of problems ... we're told lawyers for Odom and Kardashian are already arguing and hitting road blocks.

One answer required some divine intervention.

Moments ago, reps from the Clippers told us the 5 players we saw coming and going from STK last night were only at the restaurant for a Clippers team dinner ... a dinner that happened to be scheduled for the exact same time and place as Lamar's party.

So even though we asked Clipper player Marcus Camby "how was the party" -- and he responded, "It was cool" ... he must've been talking about the Clippers' "dinner" party ... and not the stripperless, midgetless bachelor party going on in the same place.

So sleep well Clippers fans ... once again your team was left out of the party everyone wanted to be at.

Our Bev Hills spies tell TMZ Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian are house hunting right now -- scratch that .... mansion shopping.

Last night after the bachelor/bachelorette parties, Lamar and Khloe stayed in a hotel and hit the streets of Beverly Hills today in search of a big pad.

We're told they're looking for a place in the 8,000 - 10,000 square foot range -- with 5 to 6 bedrooms, a pool and of course, space for a basketball court.

With his goatee shaved off and his new, greenish prison issue -- former New York Giant Plaxico Burress posed for his mug shot after being sentenced to two years in the hoosegow.

Joe Francis and Rob Kardashian's planned bash at Les Deux got the boot in favor of a dinner at STK and a little livin' it up at Guys and Dolls with his Lakers teammates. His two original party-planners also tagged along.

Turns out, Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's wedding guests aren't just shopping at Wiliams-Sonoma -- they're also dropping some serious cash at fancy-pants Geary's in Beverly Hills (the Rolls Royce of houseware shops). Here's the list of what's already been purchased:

- Baccarat Harmonie Square Decanter - $1,075
- Grande Champagne Bucket - $750
- Harcourt Square Whiskey Decanter - $985
- Folio Champagne Cooler - $750
- 2 Vesta Champagne Flutes - $179 ... EACH!

Better keep those receipts! Not that this won't last or anything ...

TMZ has learned Lamar Odom has backed out of his bachelor party -- which Joe Francis and Khloe Kardashian's brother Rob were supposed to hold tonight.

Odom tells TMZ:

"I am extremely thankful to Joe Francis and Rob Kardashian, for agreeing to host my bachelor party this evening at Hollywood hot spot Les Deux.

I regret, I will have to cancel this event because I have now decided to have a private dinner with my teammates, a few close friends and of course Joe Francis and Rob Kardashian."

TMZ has learned exactly how the love story between Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom began -- and it all started with a bar tab around $3,000.

It all went down on August 27th, when Khloe was hosting a "Welcome to LA" party for brand new Laker, Ron Artest, at Halo in Hollywood.

Khloe ran up one hell of a bill that night ... and for some reason, Lamar decided to cover the whole thing -- after all, cash money is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

A source extremely close to Khloe confirmed the whole story, telling us, "At first, she wasn't going to do the event ... but she literally met her husband there. And yes, he paid for everything."
