With "Press Play", Diddy has given fans one of the things they crave - new music in the form of remixes. And I don't know if you've been keeping track, but "Press Play" has had a lot of remixes - even by Bad Boy standards, which says something. Let's take a run through them.
Official Remixes
"Come to Me (Remix)" (a.k.a. ATL Remix) featuring Nicole Scherzinger, T.I., Yung Joc and Young Dro
With new music, but Scherzinger's vocals still prominently featured throughout, the track opens up with two short verses from Yung Joc and Young Dro, followed by Diddy's original first verse. Diddy's second verse is removed to make room for a longer one from T.I. Released on "Tell Me" CD singles.

Diddy is one of a handful of celebrities featured in the Forbes "Rags-To-Riches Celebrities" article.
"In many ways, they announce their success with the items that they buy," explains Ellis Cashmore, author of Celebrity Culture.
This may explain the behavior of New York City-born rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, who moved upstate as a child after the murder of his father. Today, the hip-hop impresario has evolved into a celebrity, in the truest sense of the word. And while he does his part for charity, Combs has never shied away from the luxuries that fame affords. Let his numerous houses and million-dollar soirées serve as evidence.
See his parts in their story in pictures here and here.
Update: The episode with the confrontation has aired. Here is a liveblog and here are my thoughts.
You can check out the article at the New York Daily News. It has quotes from the respective attorneys of Diddy and Ms. Gibson.
Basically, Laurie Ann Gibson filed a complaint with the NYPD on the 11th saying that she got into an argument with Diddy and Michael Bivins during a April 25 filming of Making the Band. Why do you file on May 11 if it happened on April 25? She says that Bivins grabbed her while Diddy grabbed a chair to hit her with. From the article:
Bivins then allegedly grabbed her while Diddy picked up a chair and threatened her. She said she broke free, tried to run and Bivins allegedly grabbed her once again. Then she left, the complaint stated.
Gibson's attorney, Peter Toumbekis, said that the filming of the finale has been delayed because of this issue.
Meanwhile, on the flip side, "sources close to Diddy" say he didn't grab a chair, that the argument was just for television and that Gibson took it too seriously. Diddy's attorney, Benjamin Brafman, called it a "false accusation". The article also cites sources who said that Diddy fired Gibson during the argument and yelled for the MTV cameras to be turned off.
The article notes that a spokesperson for the NYPD said that the allegation had been investigated and that no crime had been found - so the case was closed.
Could it be just for TV? When the New York Daily News reports something as a fact with a report that includes Diddy's attorney, Gibson's attorney and an NYPD spokesperson, you'd tend to believe it wasn't. Although, who knows. It will have the side effect of probably raising the ratings, however.
BET has announced the nominees for the 2007 BET Awards. Diddy is up for Best Hip Hop Artist and Best Collaboration for "Last Night" with Keyshia Cole.

From AllHipHop.com:
The New York Police Department monitored and spied on various rappers months before the 2004 Republican National Convention, which was held in New York. ...
According to the documents, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Jay-Z, LL Cool and Alicia Keys were all put under surveillance in the months before the 2004 Republican National Convention arrived in New York.
From an interview with ODB's mom:
AllHipHop.com: You know, I was watching the Grammy incident last nite. He was very calm and professional when he took the mic…
Cherry Jones: Rage Against The Machine said, “Wouldn’t nobody do it but Dirty.” They said they loved it! I said, “All of y’all are stupid.” I said it [to Dirty] “It wasn’t nice of you to do that, either. Don’t you ever do that again in your life. I’ll tear your head up.” [Laughs] He was sober, you know…
AllHipHop.com: Really?
Cherry Jones: Really. On the way there, a limousine came and picked us up. He stopped at almost every corner and bought little bottles of water. He had nothing to drink that night. Nothing at all. So when he went up there, I felt bad, but I said “At least the boy is sober.” Puffy’s people had him hemmed up by the neck. His henchmen ain’t gonna hem up my doggone son. I said, “It’s time for me to fight.” He said, “Calm down mommy, everything is gonna be okay.” If Rusty don’t wanna fight, you know he’s sober! His bodyguards had him by the throat down there because of the comment he made: “Puffy’s good, but Wu-Tang’s the best.” After seeing him like that, I said, “Boy, he really need a drink!” [Laughs]

Alright, let's try to clear this up. Despite what I was told before, it appears that the original report was correct. Bad Boy has launched this page where you can vote for Diddy's 4th single. I have been told that this is the one that counts. And, yes, the choices are "After Love" and "Through the Pain". Yeah, I'm still going with "Through the Pain".
