LAS VEGAS - O.J. Simpson - who was freed from prison recently - answered the call for wefies when he visited a smartphone shop on Tuesday.

The 70-year-old is reportedly quickly getting back into the routine of modern living - including dealing with celebrity-obsessed Americans - after nearly a decade of jail time for an armed robbery.

He is staying in Las Vegas for now while he sorts out his future moves.

That could include a television interview - provided the network or cable operator is willing to pay a seven-figure amount, the Hollywood Reporter said.

But given his notoriety, including his acquittal in 1995 for the alleged murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown, media companies are not biting for now.
