Diddy Would Love to Be An "American Idol" Judge... for the Money

So who will take over for Simon Cowell as the next judge for American Idol? Though many rumors are floating of who it might be, one particular person might be interested in the job... for the pay. That person is none other than music and business mogul Diddy who told George Lopez on Lopez Tonight as posted on People.com.

“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.”

The list of possible judges include Justin Timberlake, Elton John, Bret Michaels, Shania Twain, Chris Isaak and Harry Connick, Jr. All from the music industry unlike the last round to find a replacement when Ellen DeGeneres was selected to replace Paula Abdul.

Ali Fedotowsky Gets Cozy With Matt Leinart at Event

What's the deal with Ali Fedotowsky & pro quarterback Matt Leinart? By that we mean, chatted each other up and exchanged numbers -- that's not the sign of a taken woman? Does this mean that Ali didn't select any of the guys on The Bachelorette?

As posted on Star magazine,

Ali and Matt met on July 15 at a charity event, sparks flew — especially after they had time to talk by themselves. By the end of the night, the jock scored Ali's digits.

"Matt finally asked for Ali's phone number and she happily gave it to him," an eyewitness tells Star. "He promised that he'd call her; she must be over the moon about catching the eye of such a hot guy!"

If history plays any role, we're betting Ali doesn't make it with any of the bachelors and opts to take the Jessica Simpson route.

George Clooney's Girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis Caught in Cocaine Scandal?!

Did George Clooney's girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis do cocaine?

As posted on Popeater from RadarOnline.com,

Elisabetta Canalis has been implicated in a cocaine scandal surrounding two nightclubs in Milan, Italy. It's been alleged that Canalis was doing cocaine in one of the nightclubs in 2007.

"I remember taking cocaine with Elisabetta Canalis and two others," Karima Menad, a model-turned-prostitute, told prosecutors in documents obtained by Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, according to UsMagazine.com.

"We were in The Club and it was December 2007," Menad continued. "We had been at a party of some famous, rich celebrity whose name I cannot remember. I don't remember who brought the drugs but we all took it."

The two Milan nightclubs, The Club and Hollywood, are under investigation for running escort and prostitution rings and drug use. Using Menad's testimony, prosecutors were able to shut down the two clubs on Monday and put five of the accused offenders under house arrest.

In the published documents, it's alleged that women were brought to the club to entertain VIPs at private tables.

"Their job was to encourage these customers to drink alcohol as to increase the table's bill, followed up by sex off premises," prosecutor Frank Di Maio stated in the documents. "They were often given cocaine for free by those who want to sit at a table of famous people ... they want the visibility that comes from being seated at a central table, and to be seen with models, or celebrities from fashion, entertainment and sport."

Oh come on people! That was 2007 in Italy!
