Diddy Wants to Work for American Idol

Sean Diddy Combs wants to be the newest judge on American Idol - so much so that he’s offered to take a pay cut.

Combs has stated that he’ll work for less than what the show formerly paid Simon Cowell, who will no longer be a judge on the popular reality series.

“As a matter of fact I have a new negotiation,” Sean Combs told British TV station GMTV. “I would take a five percent cut on what [Simon Cowell] was getting. He was on something like $34 million, and that’s peanuts.”

But we bet it pays better than VH1, right Diddy?

I Want to Watch Something New

In case you haven’t heard, VH1 is debuting a new reality series tonight. This time, there’s no dating game or gritty substance abuse - there’s just Diddy.

VH1’s I Want to Work for Diddy premieres tonight at 9pm ET. In this season opener, thirteen strangers (who answered the national wide cattle call VH1 put forth) will be welcomed to Bad Boy (the seat of Diddy’s empire) where they will be interviewed by a panel of Sean John’s most trusted employees. To get to Diddy, the contestants have to get past the panel.

In the show, Diddy (Sean Combs, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, so on and so forth) is searching for a new personal assistant - someone to be at his beck and call and see to his needs 24/7. The cast includes a student, an Iraq war veteran, a personal trainer who likes dancing, a legal assistant, a writer who is a Harvard graduate, a few professional office assistants…and one transvestite.

If you just can’t wait until tonight, VH1 is offering a video preview of the first episode here.
