Add Diddy’s name to the growing list of celebrities in the mix to replace Simon Cowell on “American Idol.”

The rap mogul, it seems, got a look at Cowell’s paycheck from his “Idol” days — and he wants a piece of it.

“At first when people were asking me if I was interested in the job I was like no … that’s not my style,” Diddy told George Lopez on Wednesday’s “Lopez Tonight.” “But once I heard what Simon makes … [I] would love the job. I’ve got six kids. If I would get the same check Simon gets … we would have a ball.”

Diddy joins a slew of big names that have been bandied around since the Brit announced his departure, including Justin Timberlake, Elton John, Bret Michaels, Shania Twain, Chris Isaak and Harry Connick, Jr.

As of yet, no replacement has been announced.

This weekend Alicia Keys announced her decision to part ways with her manager Jeff Robinson. Robinson has managed Keys since she was fifteen. According to all press releases, however it was a peaceful split and now Keys will be able to handle important decisions on her own regarding touring, film and TV deals, music licensing, sincing and songwriting.

Some have been speculating that it’s Keys relationship to Swizz Beats that fueled the end of the business relationship between Robinson and Keys. According to NecoleBitchie.com, Swizz is feeling pretty insecure in their relationship and is trying to gain more control of aspects of Keys life and career. The website is mostly a gossip column and rumor breeding ground though, so this blogger’s going to wait for more news to come around before jumping the gun and making any definitive statements.
