Diddy Looking To Replace Simon Cowell On “American Idol”

You would think Diddy had enough on his plate preparing for his new release of Last Train To Paris but it seems the Bad BoyCEO is now looking to add a new role to his resume, as American Idol judge.

After taking a look at judgeSimon Cowell’s paycheck,Combs became interested in taking a spot on the panel. Diddy told MTV, “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 toAmerican Idol.”

To move along the process, the mogul is encouraging fans to make his new career endeavor a trending topic on social networks.

“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.” said Diddy.

The label exec also emphasized that his interest would only remain as long as the paycheck remains the same asSimon’s.

“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?” he said. “There’s no negotiating the contract. Just change the name on the check, and I’ll be there.”

Diddy adds, “More money, no more problems.”
