The video below features Diddy talking about the concept of "Last Train to Paris" during a listening party for the album. Someone at the end of his talk imitates Lil' Mama, when she crashed the stage during Jay-Z's performance at the MTV VMAs and the crowd has a laugh.

Vibe is reporting that Diddy has signed to Interscope Records. The details in their articles are very, very scarce. Vibe is reporting the info care of a source at Interscope.

Surely, if Diddy was going to go under the Interscope umbrella, it would be all of Bad Boy going and not just Diddy. This could potentially explain the delayed release of "Last Train to Paris." Until we hear more, this news should be taken with a grain of salt.

A request for comment from Bad Boy was not immediately returned.

According to various reports, Diddy was involved in a verbal dispute with a New York cop while exiting an MTV Video Music Awards after party on Sunday night. The accounts I've read indicate that Diddy was exiting a club and there was a crowd and the cops were trying to clear it out. I decided to wait for more information to be available before posting something about it. The biggest piece of information was a video released by TMZ. Check it out (warning: vulgar language):


First things first: we don't know what happened before or after this clip, so that should be kept in mind. But, judging from the clip, it was a chaotic situation and, when you throw humans into that sort of situation, chaotic things happen. The man in the passenger side of the car Diddy was next to looked a lot like Doug E. Fresh. I think the cop acted inappropriately, specifically in following and trying to make a point with Diddy, "I don't give a f*** who you are." There's no need for that. Once Diddy, as a citizen, walked away, that should have been the end of it. But, once the cop said that, Diddy shouted back "I don't give a f*** who you are either, motherf*****" and, honestly, I can't blame him. The cop was being a little abusive and, though the average citizen probably can't get away with telling off an abusive cop - if you are in a position where you can, it's not like you simply have to take the abuse and walk away.

In a radio interview (listen below), Diddy discussed the incident. "He was in plain clothes," Diddy said. "I didn't know he was an officer. Things were a little aggressive for me, which I'm not really used to. I said my piece, he said his piece and we kept it moving." He called it "just a little understanding" and said that he and the officer "worked it out."


The NYPD told TMZ that the officer was not in plain clothes. But, if you look in the clip, at the 0:16 mark, you'll see the officer has a New York Yankees logo on his shirt. As far as I know, the New York Yankees logo is not part of the NYPD uniform.

On September 4, Diddy posted a Twitter message with a download link to the DJ Rob Dinero remix of "Love Come Down." Check it out.

MTV's Shaheem Reid reports that "Last Train to Paris" has been pushed back to 2010. In August, Hip Hop Weekly reported (via DROStreetteam09) that the album had been pushed back to 2010 and that they would release a four song, four video EP in October. At the time, Bad Boy would not confirm or deny the story.

MTV News talked with both Diddy and Jay-Z on the topic of longevity. The video below has most of their quotes, but the text feature on their site has a bit more from Diddy.

Diddy joined Jay-Z on stage at tonight's "Jay-Z: Live at Madison Square Garden: Answer the Call" benefit concert that was broadcast on Fuse.tv. If you missed it, Fuze's Jay-Z Answer the Call blog has pictures of Diddy, Jay, Kanye West and Memphis Bleek together and of just Diddy and Jay.

Because of his appearance, "Diddy" was a trending topic on Twitter this evening for a period.

If you missed the show, like I did, they will be rebroadcasting it on Sunday at 5 PM ET.

MTV has released a trio of videos that feature Diddy in promotion of this Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards in New York City.

In the first clip, Diddy joins a host of celebrities in discussing the allure of hosting the show in New York.



For this next clip, MTV asked a number of people who would take home more awards: Kanye West or Eminem (both are nominated for four). Diddy predicted Kanye would.

MTV News has a report from Tuesday night's release party for Raekwon's new album, "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II." The party was hosted by Diddy. Raekwon recently talked about his relationship with Diddy and the respect that he has for the Bad Boy CEO.

Details are sparse, but a tweet from Diddy linked to the Fashion Week Bingo page where you can download two bingo playing cards.

You are trying to spot the people and scenes listed, post them on TwitPic and tweet them with the #nyfwbingo hash tag. If you get 5 in a row, you tweet the tag and the word "BINGO" and you can win unmentioned prizes and VIP passes to Fashion Week events. It's unclear if you actually have to be in New York during Fashion Week to play, or not - it's certainly possible to spot several of these items if you live far away. But, it could just be for people actually in the city this week.

Fashion Week started today and runs through September 17.
