Video After The Jump
Simon Cowell is leaving his spot as judge on American Idol and the search will soon be underway for his replacement. Diddy wants it known that he will be happy to fill that spot if they will pay him Simon Cowell type money.
The Bad Boy Records boss told MTV that money talks.
"I have been fronting all this time, trying to act like I don't want that spot. [But] I spoke to Simon's business manager, and I found out how much that boy makes a week. I am praying right now to 'American Idol,' "
Seriously though, why not Diddy? Say what you want about him, but one thing is for certain he knows talent and how to make artists superstars.
Diddy wants the campaign to begin now for his American Idol seat.
"I want everybody to get on Twitter, MySpace, Facebook and say that Diddy should get the Simon spot — but for the same amount of money that Simon was getting, else it's a deal-breaker," he said
"I'm tired of being cool: That number that Simon was getting a week is ridiculous. I can't even be cool with that. Please, can I have the job, whoever's in charge of giving that job?"
The show could use a shake up, no knock against Ellen DeGeneres, but what exactly does she know about music?
Stranger things have happened, next season we might see Diddy dancing on stage more than the contestants.
