OJ Simpson, who is awaiting trial on kidnap and robbery charges, wants a shot at Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice, the New York Post reports. Trump and NBC "are being very cautious," the source said. "There's a certain amount of heat associated with Simpson."

The double-murder acquittee, who still owes the families of Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown millions in a wrongful-death civil suit, won't make a dime from this publicity stunt: The reality show's contestants compete for money to donate to charity. (More OJ Simpson stories.)
