Stefanie from VH1's I WANT TO WORK FOR DIDDY talks with Conversations, Wed.

Bloggers across the country has referred to her as one of the "pretty girls" from the hit VH1 show "I Want To Work For Diddy", but there is so much more than what meets the eye when it comes to Stefanie Sitzer. This and more will be discussed as she joins Conversations LIVE! for an in-depth discussion of her life, the show and more on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 5p.m. CST.
Some say she remained under the radar for the first challenges on the reality show that has made her known worldwide, however, her marketing background and work on shows such as CNBC's "Mad Money" hosted by America's crazed financial guru Jim Cramer have helped to get her to the final four of those vying to be Diddy's assistant.
But why does she want the job? How does she feel about the 75% chance that a woman will be the "right hand man" to one of the most powerful men in entertainment. Listen to the interview at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/conversationslive or call and listen live at 1.347.426.3645 to get the answers to these questions and more!
