hellomagazin.com has the story and pictures. According to
Times Online, he may also be eying a Formula One racing team.
Is P. Diddy planning to buy a Formula One team?
Apparently so. The rapper made the announcement to guests at a dinner to launch his new perfume, Unforgiven. “It seemed to be more than bravado on his part,” reports one guest, adding that Diddy had previously spent much of the evening huddled in a corner with Lewis Hamilton, the youthful British racing star. Still, Diddy is known for being an impulsive chap. Pink-and-gold pimpmobiles may indeed roar around Silverstone. Alternatively, he may end up with a bling Scalextric.
The articles both mention that he's launching his new fragrance, "Unforgiven"... but, I'm thinking this is just Unforgiveable as there would be more press if he was actually launching a new fragrance.
According to
Your Local Guardian, Diddy booked a corporate box at Wimbledon for July 2 after attempting to get the royal box, which is invitation only.
Diddy will be hosting a party tonight (doors open at 9:00 PM) at The Whitehouse in Hampton Bays, NY. You can
buy tickets online for $50 each.
Newsday.com has a story on it. See the flier below.
Watch the eletronic press kit (EPK) for Puff Daddy's "Forever" below. A nice blast from the past, to be sure.
No, not Prince, but Prince Harry and Prince William. He had
this to say:
"They were just appreciative that I came. They loved the performance and they told me how they were fans and wondered how I worked so much. It was a great conversation."
Diddy came out, alone in front of the big screen (but was joined by a choir to his sides and a string orchestra on a separate stage), in a white suit with a black tie to perform "I'll Be Missing You". It was very similar to the version performed for the Wal-Mart Soundcheck, except for the comments related to Princess Diana, of course. Perfect song for the event, of course, and the crowd was into it, of course.
After it was over, one of the co-host's said she "didn't expect Diddy to be that good." lol. She said that usually his performances in the U.K. are more in tune with "his roots". I didn't hear her say anything like that about any of the other performers, so that was a wee bit surprising.
Diddy did a quick backstage interview before his performance where he talked about Princess Diana, saying that she was the definition of a Princess in his eyes. On how he got involved, he said that the Princes called his publicist and he was glad to accept. He said that this is their country (the U.K.), they're royalty in this country and he's royalty in his country. heh
Finally, as an aside, Cassie came on the big screen behind the performers during Kanye West's set, while he was performing "Stronger".
Entertainmentwise.com reports that Diddy will perform "I'll Be Missing You" at today's
Concert For Diana. In the article, Diddy is also quoted as saying "I can relate because of Biggie. I'm gonna feel real good remembering him and Di."
It's on
VH1 and I've been watching it. An hour in, no Diddy, yet. Once he performs, I'll have my reactions up.
