In the video clip below from Yahoo! TV, Liz Davis receives praise from guest judge Pete Wentz on an episode of "P. Diddy's StarMaker." This provides a little bit of a clue or spoiler as we know that Davis will make it at least as long as the episode where Wentz is featured. It's unclear when that one will be airing.

AnnMarie Costella of the Queens Chronicle has an interview with Jordan Battiste, a contestant on "P. Diddy's StarMaker," which premiered last night.

MTV has released a sneak peak at the second episode of "P. Diddy's StarMaker." Check it out below.

MTV has released a few deleted scenes from the first episode of "P. Diddy's StarMaker." The first clip features Diddy talking to contestants Todd Sarvies, Zach Berkman and Liz Davis. He asks Sarvies and Berkman about their familiarity with Bad Boy. Sarvies acts familiar, but then doesn't seem like he knows a lot about Bad Boy's past. Berkman manages to name Danity Kane and Donnie Klang. He asks Davis about her inspirations and asks her if she can sing other genres.


In the second single, the guys talk about the girls and their level of ... attractiveness.


In the third and final clip, Marissa, Angel, Melody, David J. and ChristopherJohn discuss their relationship statuses.

The season premiere of "P. Diddy's StarMaker" just ended and two of the contestants were eliminated: David Joseph and Lauren Thomas. Zach Berkman and Angel Inez were among the four singers who were called up to face elimination, but they survived.

The two singers that the judges felt did the best were David Bennett and Melody Angel.

Tonight marks the long anticipated premiere of "P. Diddy's StarMaker," the latest Bad Boy Films production, on MTV at 10 PM ET. The premise of the show finds Diddy, with a team of judges, in search of a new solo singing act to sign to Bad Boy Records. The artist can come from any genre - rock, country, pop, R&B, whatever.

I'll be on Twitter @badboyblog tonight during the show tweeting with the #StarMaker hashtag. Join me!
