TRUMP EYES JACKSON FOR LAS VEGAS GIG

Donald Trump is hoping to give troubled pop star Michael Jackson a new job -- as a resident performer in Las Vegas.

Trump's Las Vegas partners have been courting Jackson to perform at the New Frontier Hotel and Casino.

The establishment's owner Phil Ruffin and partner Jack Wishna have already spoken to the star's representatives about a long-term gig.

Trump and Ruffin are partners in Trump International Hotel & Tower, which is being built behind the New Frontier.

Trump tells Us Weekly, "Everything I do is the best, and everything Phil Ruffin does is the best, and this would be no exception."

Wishna continues, "There'd be moral clauses in the contract," adding that Jackson would draw more than the $80 million Celine Dion grossed in 2004.

Jackson has in the past reportedly been interested in performing in Las Vegas. The superstar is a frequent visitor to the city, where his parents and sister LaToya live.

The 46-year-old singer is currently on trial fighting charges be molested a teen cancer patient at his Neverland Ranch.
