That's what
Robin Leach is saying:
LUXE LIFE has just learned and can exclusively report that the mogul rapper has hired a helicopter from Rebel Helicopters here in Las Vegas for Saturday night and plans to fly high above the new Fantasy Tower at The Palms, the official host hotel of the All-Star Game and make his entrance by repelling into the opened retractable roof of the new Moon nightclub located at the top of the tower.
From
People:
... But the three-time winner did forget to thank the two music powerhouses who first helped put her on that stage: Uptown Records founder Andre Harrell and her first producer, Sean "Diddy" Combs. Uh, oops! ...
"... One of those people was Puffy. Our chemistry together really created the beginning of this whole big hip-hop soul thing that is happening right now. The way they dress. The way they speak. All of the songs they write. It all came from what Puff and I had put together."
Not that big a deal. I mean, yeah, it's a pretty huge omission in the scheme of her career, but everyone's human. Congrats to her on the victories.

Starpulse News Blog:
"I'm not going to be standing there with a shotgun. But I will, first and foremost, protect them like I would my sons." Sean 'Diddy' Combs insists he doesn't plan to scare off potential boyfriends of his twin daughters D'lLla and Jessie in the future.
From
Hello! Magazine:
Rapper and record executive P Diddy does not usually come across as being particularly sentimental, but as exclusive photos in the latest edition of HELLO! magazine reveal, he certainly has a soft centre. And the proud new dad of identical twins D'Lila Star and Jessie James is simply overwhelmed by the birth of his gorgeous girls.

From
SOHH.com:
Sean 'Diddy" Combs and Jay-Z are reportedly in negotiations with Comcast to launch a Video On Demand channel with urban themed programming.
And from the
New York Post:
That would explain why hip-hop stars Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs, along with Harvey and Bob Weinstein, were spotted at the cable operator's massive Market Street compound in Philadelphia last week. One source familiar with the meeting said it was both a getting-acquainted session and a chance to bounce around ideas about urban programming.
Once again, DJ Richard "Diddy" Dearlove, who may end up being best known for suing Diddy, has
filed suit.
Richard "Diddy" Dearlove says that Combs has breached an earlier undertaking not to use the name "Diddy" in Britain, because people there can see Combs' pages on the international MySpace and YouTube sites where he appears as "Diddy."
"We want him either to use a neutral name like P. Diddy or to shut them down," said Iain Purvis, Dearlove's lawyer at the High Court in London where the case is being heard.
Are MySpace and YouTube "international" websites? Generally speaking, websites are considered to be based where they are physically hosted and are held to the laws of that country. I am under the impression that both MySpace and YouTube are hosted in the U.S. Whether or not they can be accessed in the U.K. is unimportant. A person from the U.K. can buy CDs released in the U.S., if they so choose. That is inevitable.
I may very well be missing something, but he seems to want the courts in the U.K. to apply U.K. law to U.S. based websites. Of course, there are extenuating circumstances, such as Google and FOX (the owners of YouTube and MySpace) having business in the U.K., I'm sure, that may or may not affect it.
Diddy and co. seem to be making adjustments to both pages to compromise, perhaps as part of negotiations (just guessing?). For example, when you visit
his YouTube page, you see:
UK USERS MUST VISIT:
www.youtube.com/pdiddy
The link is to an alternate account at YouTube where it says P. Diddy instead of Diddy.
And,
his MySpace page now has a large banner at the top saying that U.K. users "MUST CLICK HERE". It takes you to an
alternate MySpace profile where, again, it's P. Diddy instead of just Diddy.
It's all a little loopy, when you think about it, but if it leads to the issue being over, it may be worth it. I'm not an attorney or anything, but, if Dearlove is pushing for Diddy to stop calling himself Diddy on MySpace and on YouTube, period, my gut says to fight it. It's just a name, but that's not the point. There would seem to be something more at stake here.
Diddy did a BlogCheck with MySpace. In other words, it's a video interview.
