Yesterday, Diddy made an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to promote "I Am King".
During the interview portion of the show, Ellen asked him how many TV shows he was responsible for and he named the usual suspects. But, he also named a new one, called "Daddy's Girls". You can consider it a spin-off of "Run's House," as the show is about Rev. Run's daughters, Vanessa and Angela Simmons. Specifically:
... Daddy's Girls follows Vanessa and Angela as they officially leave the comforts of the family home in New Jersey to run their own business and live full-time in Los Angeles. Will they be able to keep in mind the invaluable moral lessons their father has instilled in them as they navigate the fast lane?
Here's the trailer:
The nominees for the Golden Globes were announced today and "A Raisin in the Sun" earned a nomination. "I really did not think it could get any better," Diddy said upon learning of the nomination. "First, an Emmy nomination and now a Golden Globe -- this is an incredible honor. A dream come true."

In a pair of video blogs (see below), Dawn Richard of Danity Kane mentioned that she was on the way to New York to tape Making the Band. No further details are given.
Singersroom reports that, according to a network source, Diddy and Aretha Franklin are talking about partnering on an "American Idol" type reality show where Diddy and Franklin will select the winner, rather than putting it out for a public vote as "Idol" does. Treat this as an unconfirmed rumor at this point. I usually wouldn't mention it, but Singersroom is generally pretty solid. I'm trying to see what I can find out. Stay tuned.
StarMaker, Diddy's latest reality TV project, will be premiering on MTV on January 26, according to his MySpace. Through the show, he will be searching for both male and female solo artists, from any genre of music.
According to Diddy's MySpace, the Making the Band 4 bonus episodes will be premiering on February 11.
From the press release:
With the future of Danity Kane still up in the air, Day26 pursuing their dreams and Donnie Klang working his way to the top, where do they go from here? MTV is extending the drama into 2009 with bonus episodes of the hit reality series "Making The Band." The saga will continue with the remaining members of Danity Kane, their label mates Day26 and Donnie Klang as they all embark on the next phases of their Bad Boy careers.
The extended season will pick-up where the last one left off…Following all the drama and turmoil from the cliffhanger on the live finale. Fans will catch-up with Day26 as they go out on their own and experience what it's like to be the opening act for more established recording artists. Can they stay focused and make it on their own without the support of their label mates? Donnie Klang will continue to strive and prove to Diddy that he has what it takes to be a solid solo artist and go on tour with more well known musical acts. Will the hectic pace of the music business put too much strain on Dawn and Que's romance or will it make their love stronger? The Danity Kane story will continue to unfold after Diddy's shocking decision to remove Aubrey and D. Woods from the group. Will the Band live on without them? Will Aubrey and D. Woods return to Danity Kane? The bonus episodes will follow MTV's favorite "Making The Band" artists as they give it all they have while trying to remain true to themselves in the process.
At last night's "Making The Band 4" live finale the anxiety was at an all time high. MTV News correspondent Sway hosted one of the most controversial season finales' in "Making The Band" history. Media mogul Diddy talked to fans and answered questions about his recent decision to shake up his platinum selling artists Danity Kane. The season finale ended bitter sweet, leaving Danity Kane fans shocked at the outcome and wondering what lies ahead. Day26 and Donnie Klang were speechless and concerned for their own futures after seeing how quickly their friends and label mates can go from being on top to struggling to stay in the game.
"Diddy is a master star maker and a genius at creating drama. With the cliffhanger ending on this season of 'Making the Band,' we just knew the saga had to continue," said Tony DiSanto, EVP Series Development & Programming, MTV. "There is so much more story to tell, amazing music and great drama to come. With Diddy you never quite know exactly what's next…But it's pretty certain you won't be able to take your eyes off!"

We pick up back at Bad Boy in the meeting with Danity Kane and Diddy. Shannon asks if there is any chance that Aubrey can stay. Diddy says no, he doesn't like her energy, the style or direction of where she's going and what she does to the brand by wilding out and being overly raunchy and promiscuous. Does Shannon want to go with her? He says that she can have some time to think, if she wants to stay in the group.
He turns to D. Woods and says that she doesn't seem happy. She says no, she doesn't think anyone has been happy for a while. He says, OK, she can go, too? Is he sure about that, she asks? Yes, he's positive, he says. She says it's been a pleasure working under him and she's respecting her since she was growing up and she's sorry it came to his decision. He says that she has said she's not happy. She says that she doesn't think anyone, maybe including him, has been happy with the way that Danity Kane has been going for a while. Diddy, at this point, backs up a bit and says that he doesn't want D. Woods to catch any of her reality.
He turns to Aundrea and mentions how she wanted to leave, she has a chance now. She doesn't say anything and he says she's here because Aubrey was a part of the problem for her. She then says that she feels there isn't a group without the 5 of them. He says he's going to let them think about that. But, there will be a Danity Kane. It's right here, Aundrea says. It's not there anymore, Diddy says, this is not the vision he had for it.
D. Woods says that God put this group together and it's God will to decide what will happen and whether He's speaking through Diddy or- Diddy stops her and says not to bring God into it because with their petty stuff, they are disrespecting God.

I'll be live blogging the key moments of tonight's "Making the Band 4," season 3 finale. Just the key moments that jump out to me, though, so there won't be a ton of updates. Mainly, I want to cover the Danity Kane break up or lack of one!
The first part of the show has Diddy announcing, via video message, that he has one last mission for the groups and Donnie. They are to go to Cano San Lucas on his dime. They charter a private jet and arrive to a pair of incredible suites at the Westin.
Diddy's fit club finished with Diddy announcing that he had lost 4 pounds. While eating a salad, the nurse approaches him and he curses her out for bugging him when he's eating a salad. She leaves.
It turns out that Diddy didn't go to Cabo San Lucas as he needed to promote his album. They show some footage of him at TRL and at a CD signing.
Day26 and Danity Kane go to swim with Dolphins and Que isn't having it. He's not getting into the water with any fish, he says, especially one's that are bigger than him. He's definitely afraid. She finally gets a life jacket on, though. In confessional, Que says that the dolphin is about to eat him.
After Que watches them for a while, he eases up. Mike rides a dolphin and they laugh as Robert says, in private, that that was "one strong dolphin." Dawn finally pushes Que into touching the dolphin, but he immediately backs off. Then, he feeds one and, eventually, gets in the water - for Dawn, he says.
The groups celebrate Robert's birthday at an outdoor bar at the hotel. The groups also hired some traditional dancers, with D. Woods and Robert actually donning the garb before they share a cake (part of it gets pushed in Robert's face).
