“Entourage” creator Doug Ellin is batting around ideas for Amar’e Stoudemire’s cameo on the last season of the HBO drama.
“I’m trying to figure it out. I might put him in temple because I know he’s part Jewish,” Ellin told MSG sideline reporter Jill Martin during the Knicks’ 128-115 beating of the San Antonio Spurs.
Ellin is still writing scripts for the last season, which starts filming in April, but he said: “I want to get Amar’e and [Yankee] Mark Teixeira to get involved with bringing Don Peppe Italian restaurant in Ozone Park, Queens, to Hollywood,” referring to one of Ellin’s favorite eateries. “I went with Teixeira there a month ago. I want Turtle [played by Jerry Ferrara] to bring Don Peppe out to Hollywood and bring some sports stars with him.”
Stoudemire has yet to confirm.

It was reported last week that the Knicks power forward is partnering with Rachel Roy for a line to launch next fall.
Marc Beckman, president of Designers Management Agency, which brokered the deal between Stoudemire and Roy, says men’s clothing will likely come first.
“Our goal is to build on his style and swagger in an authentic and believable way,” Beckman told us. “The early product range shall consist of men’s fragrance, made-to-measure tailored suits, and sportswear.”
The collection will be for all guys, including big and tall athletes like 6-foot-8 Stoudemire.
Women’s wear will come later. Roy, who met Stoudemire during September Fashion Week, already has an eponymous women’s collection and a lower-priced contemporary line, Rachel Rachel Roy.

The Knicks’ power forward is launching a clothing line with designer Rachel Roy.
The insiders said the line will be a part of Roy’s contemporary label for Macy’s, Rachel Rachel Roy, and is being planned to launch next fall. Althought details are still being squared away, we hear the collection will be for women.
Stoudemire and Roy were seen last week having dinner at clubby West Village eatery The Lion, possibly hammering out details of their collaboration. The future business partners met at an event during New York Fashion Week in September.
Stoudemire has had his size-15 foot in the fashion world since arriving in town after he signed a $100 million deal to join the Knicks. During Fashion Week, Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour personally invited the 6-foot-10 NBA star to the Fashion’s Night Out runway show at Lincoln Center.
Later that week, Stoudemire sat in the front row at Tommy Hilfiger’s show, between Wintour and European editor at large Hamish Bowles and across from Ed Westwick, Jessica Szohr, Jennifer Lopez, Lenny Kravitz and Neil Patrick Harris. And Stoudemire’s new gal pal is a onetime Ford model — former Kanye West flame Amber Rose.
Stoudemire shared his obsession with clothing with Page Six Magazine in September, saying, “I love fashion . . . I love watches. I love shoes. I make sure that every time I step out of the house, I’m feeling comfortable and fashion-forward. Depending on the occasion, I dress the part.”
Amare’s rep said, “They’ve had conversations but nothing’s confirmed.” Macy’s didn’t respond. Roy’s rep had no comment.

Amar’e Stoudemire recovered from Wednesday night’s heartbreaking loss to the Boston Celtics by cozying up to Kanye West’s ex-flame, Amber Rose. The Knicks power forward left Madison Square Garden with curvaceous Rose after the game and partied with her at Midtown lounge Covet, and they left together at 2 a.m.
Bald, bodacious Rose attended the game with a friend and taped a viral video Tuesday night to encourage fans to vote Stoudemire to the NBA All-Star team.
Sources say that Rose and Stoudemire arrived at Covet with two friends around 12:30 a.m. “He had his arm around her shoulders when they walked in,” reported a spy. Amar’e and Amber sat very close to one another at a table with two friends of Rose’s.
“They weren’t overly affectionate, but he was whispering in her ear all night. It was so obvious they were together,” said our source. Stoudemire’s rep shot down rumors of romance, saying, “They’re just friends.”
But a post on Stoudemire’s Twitter feed implies he hasn’t known Rose for very long. On Dec. 5, he wrote, “Can someone send me a pic of Amber Rose? I need that. I keep hearing how beautiful she is, show me. Gone!!” His rep said of the Twitter post, “I think he meant to be funny.”
Model Rose gained fame by dating West for two years. She’s since gotten a reputation as arm-candy for rap stars, having been linked to Drake and Chris Brown, and recently was rumored to be pregnant by Fabolous. She has also claimed to be bisexual and said she wanted to bed Nicki Minaj. Rose is featured in Fab’s new video, “You Be Killin’ ‘Em,” where she plays a female assassin.
Rose is working on a reality show, “Behind Her Shades,” about a vintage-sunglasses store in Vegas. She signed with Ford Models in 2009 but the agency said it no longer reps her. A lawyer for Rose had no comment.
Let’s hope Amar’e Stoudemire’s next girlfriend is a fan of “The Celebrity Apprentice.”
“Me and Donald Trump are best friends,” the b-balling bachelor told us at Gotham Magazine’s 10th Annual Gala on Thursday evening at SoHo’s Capitale, where he was celebrating cover stars Mary J. Blige and Ed Westwick.
The style savvy Knick recently shot – in the buff – for ESPN’s body issue. “I just let it all hang out!” he told us.
Next up he hopes one of these days “Anna [Wintour] will bless me to be on the cover of Vogue, but it hasn’t happened yet.” Wintour and Stoudemire became pals during NY Fashion Week last month.
