We know you’re really angling for that Britney Spears gig, but just in case that doesn’t work out, you might want to consider brushing up on your web casting skillz because Diddy Combs has put the word out that he needs a new assistant:
“Eschewing written resumes Combs has turned to video sharing Web site YouTube to recruit his next personal assistant, saying only people with a burning passion to get into the rap world need apply — and he’s received over 10,000 inquiries.”
What happened to Farnsworth Bentley? We loved him. He was like the Dita von Teese of assistants with his fancy umbrella-holding and kicky little neckerchiefs.
Anyway, what are the necessary skills for being Diddy’s assistant? Well, according to Diddy, “You gotta know how to read, you gotta know how to write… you gotta know how to count.”
For more information, check out the latest Youtube video from the man who allegedly doesn’t write rhymes (but he writes checks – big ones, we imagine) here.
According to VH1’s Behind the Music on Biggie, Diddy started out as an assistant. Then he found Biggie and the rest is history.
