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.

Electronic Arts is reportedly considering taking legal action after South Park featured the Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf game on the first episode of the season.

Comedy Central
An animated version of Tiger Woods appears alongside Cartman in the 14th season premiere of Comedy Central’s ‘South Park.’

The episode featured Cartman and Kenny playing an Xbox 360 game of Tiger and his wife Elin Nordegren beating each other up and crashing the car! A Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 poster seems to appear in the show next to a stack of video games. An insider reveals:

“Soon after the airing of the episode the top beef were called in, even [EA Sports boss] Peter Moore was informed of the situation. Before the episode aired the marketing folks were already worried, but now they have a lot more to worry about.
“While I personally found the episode quite funny, there are definitely a few copyright infringements in there that I’m sure will be dealt with accordingly.”

We’re sure the show is used to legal threats after 14 seasons of making fun of everyone and everything!

Tila Tequila donned a wacky wig for a shopping expedition at Kitson Kids on Thursday after claiming once again via Twitter that she is pregnant. Although she produced a sonogram, we’re having a hard time believing that she really is with child.
