'No plans' for reality show, says OJ

Reports that O.J. Simpson would star in his own reality show were greatly exaggerated, according to a statement made by Simpson to the Associated Press.

Simpson was apparently approached by programme-makers interested in doing a show modelled on the highly successful Osbournes, which airs on MTV. However, Simpson told the AP: "I have no plans in any way to do a reality show even though people have approached me about it. There's no plans in the Simpson family to have any cameras coming in our house."

However, Urban American TV Network is apparently gearing up for a thirteen-episode run of a Simpson-themed reality show, using archive footage. And, there are continuing reports Simpson would become a news commentator for the TV coverage of the trial of Robert Blake. Having been the subject of gavel-to-gavel coverage of his own trial - in which he was acquitted of murder, Simpson would certainly bring a unique perspective to the air.
