Results of study of fast line profile variability (lpv) in the spectra of selected bright O-stars are reported. A regular component of lpv in the spectra of the star λ Ori A with estimated period P≈ 3 d have been detected. We suppose that the formation of long time-scale regular components of lpv can be explained in the framework of the magnetically confined wind-shock (MCWS) model of Babel & Montmerle (1997a). In the context of testing the MCWS model the program of searching for weak magnetic fields in bright O and early B stars is outlined. The possibility of measuring weak longitudinal magnetic fields (Bl ≈ 100 G) is demonstrated.
