Check out the Russell Brand hosted clip below, from the set of "Get Him to the Greek," a new comedy that will star Brand alongside Jonah Hill and Diddy. Warning: some inappropriate language.
WWD reports on a "Last Train to Paris" listening session that Diddy held for a small gathering on Wednesday night.
He played rough cuts from "Last Train to Paris," with Dawn Richard, Cassie and Hype Williams on hand.
The music, though — a mix of thumping house beats, funk and Prince-esque vocals — was anything but unpolished. It’s a gutsy move for an artist heretofore known as a rapper and hip-hop producer..."
Hell (real name: Helmut Josef Geier) spoke to inthemix (warning: some language and visual content not suitable for all audiences) about working with Diddy on "The DJ," a track from Hell's recently released "Teufelswerk" album.
He has some praise for Diddy's dance music background and his work. Here's a snippet:
“Everybody thinks [that] Puffy doesn’t fit into electronic music, but I think exactly the opposite is the truth,” Hell explained. “For a lot of years he’s been going to techno clubs, he’s been going to Ibiza, he knows about the music from when he was a kid going to the house and techno clubs in New York.”
Diddy will be hosting a party in Miami tomorrow, Sunday, May 24, at Karu & Y. For more details, see his MySpace.
Today in New York City, Diddy and Dirty Money shot the "first video" for "Last Train to Paris." It's called "Angels." On his Twitter, Diddy mentioned that the video was directed by Hype Williams and that it stars The Notorious B.I.G. It's unclear what that means and it's also not clear if this is the first official single from the album. But, things are ramping up.

The Hollywood Reporter has named their top 50 power players in reality TV. This includes Diddy, who placed number 44.
The rapper-turned-TV-producer certainly knows the importance of branding. "Everybody has a certain unique style, a certain niche," he says. "Mine is dream fulfillment." With the upcoming "Making His Band" for MTV, Diddy searches for musicians to back him on tour. Does reality TV undermine his street cred? "There's nothing more credible than providing people with opportunities to have their dreams come true."
That was fast. Diddy signed on for the upcoming film, "Get Him to the Greek" in April and they are already shooting. Pacific Coast News has photos from the set, including a fight screen involving Diddy.
An Extra viewer asked Will Smith who would play the best black bond: Diddy, Jamie Foxx or himself. He answered:
"Puff probably lives the most like James Bond... Jamie Foxx got the swag for James Bond. He can sing too, so he can add a new element to Bond. Wooing the ladies... and I think I can guarantee the box office!"
Previously, Diddy released a mini-movie he called his Bond audition tape and mentioned his desire to play the role in interviews. Foxx also mentioned that Diddy would make a good bond.

In April, we reported that Dawn Richard had revealed the third member of Diddy's three person band for "Last Train to Paris." The name given in the report was "Keelena" and we couldn't find much tied to that name. Well, that was because the name was spelled wrong. It's actually Kalenna.
You can check out her MySpace for some music and she is on Twitter as KLEANTHEDREAM, as well.

Eric Ditzian of the MTV Movies Blog spoke with Judd Apatow about casting Diddy in "Get Him to the Greek," a new comedy that he is producing that will star Jonah Hill and Russell Brand.
“We did a table read and I thought to myself, ‘I wonder how funny [Sean’s] going to be and how much help he’s going to need,’ Apatow told MTV News. “And I found out the answer was none. He needs no help. He was riotously funny. As a man with one skill, I was annoyed that he was also funny. You shouldn’t be allowed to be good at so many things.”
