I Want to Work for Diddy

Diddy Plans to Take over TV

Sean "Diddy" Combs doesn't just want to have a presence on TV, he wants to take it over. The next step in his master plan is to air his brand new show (he already has Run's House and Making the Band running on MTV) on Mondays, 9 pm/ET on VH1. It's an Apprentice-like show that will end (hopefully) with Diddy having a fabulous new personal assistant. Apparently, candidates on Craigslist weren't cutting it. I Want to Work for Diddy will start out with 13 candidates who will compete for the coveted assistant title. Combs insists that the show isn't just another Apprentice, and that it "isn't about just seeing if I could find someone to work for me. It's about people chasing their dreams." Aw, who knew Diddy could be such a softie.Would you want to Work for Diddy? — Erin FoxRelated• Use Our Online Video Guide to Watch More Diddy  read full article

Diddy is throwing a Manhattan showcase for his new, hot artist Janelle Monae. The stakes are real because selling a Bad Boy artist to the public, press, and industry VIPs is at the core of Diddy's business. There are no more teams at this point so the remaining contestants must work together to pull off this event arranging the talent, scouting the venue, working the doorÂ…everything. Diddy himself will be introducing the artist to the industry-heavy crowd so there's no room for error. He decides to test their personal drive personally making them wake him up in his hotel suite, jog in the Park with him while taking down assignments even groom his dog, Honey, while arranging the showcase. The assistants move up to his office for the first time to work out the final details of the showcase. Some find the pressure cooker a little too hot and have words with the boss himself. Not a good idea!
