Donald Trump is actually thinking about granting a request from Orenthal James Simpson to appear in the next version of his NBC series "The Celebrity Apprentice."

The New York Post's Page Six reported yesterday that the maligned former football star – famously acquitted of double murder – asked the real estate mogul if he could be a part of the cast when the top-rated show returns next season.

"Simpson really wants to do it. Trump and NBC are thinking about it, but are being very cautious," a source told the column. "There's a certain amount of heat associated with Simpson."
