In true Diddy fashion, the music mogul has just announced an unofficial campaign to get him “elected” as Simon Cowell’s replacement on “American Idol.” The whole idea stemmed after Diddy met with Cowell’s business manager and found out how much the AI judge makes per week.

“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,” Diddy stated.

At least he’s not hiding the fact that this is strictly for the money. Not sure how those millions of AI fans though will feel about that. What do you think? Diddy as the next Simon Cowell?
