Have you ever dreamt of being the personal assistant to the rich and powerful? Here’s your chance. Diddy, aka P. Diddy (only in England) aka Sean Combs, aka Puff Daddy, has decided to tap into the younger market in his quest for a new assistant. The music mogul is accepting online applications in the form of YouTube video auditions. Prospective candidates are encouraged to apply by posting their very own YouTube clip, 3 minutes or less, explaining precisely why they would be a suitable successor to the venerable Fonzworth Bentley. Be warned, however, that Diddy has quite the temper, and is known for his bizarre, and frequent requests. You may find yourself fetching a sugar cookie from Spanish Harlem before you know it. Applicants must possess a college degree of some sort. Over 600 people have applied thus far, so get to your digicam and make us proud!

In an charity event for Keep A Child Alive, a bidder jumped to the front of the pack by offering $100,000 for an iPhone purchased by director Spike Lee for the charity. Included in the package are two Jawbone bluetooth headsets, two round-trip domestic airline tickets, and two VIP passes to the “Black Ball” charity concert in New York. And, to top it all off, the winner gets a personalized voicemail greeting from Keep A Child Alive ambassador Alicia Keys, who will present the phone to the winner at an event honoring Bono on October 25th. The auction ended on Friday at 6pm ET, but no word yet on whether the $100k bid was the winning one.Read

Remember the Boy Genius Edition Gold BlackBerry 8700? Well, it’s been one-upped by Pharrell yet again. This time he’s rollin’ with a brand new BlackBerry 8800, except it’s solid gold.

Check out one more flick of the back, after the jump!
Thanks, Loic!
