From SOHH.com:
Hnnlive.com also reported that Detox is said to have a featured guest on every track, and that there’s a possibility that Scott Storch will act as a co-producer for the album; if that is indeed the case, I’m pretty sure it won’t do much to curb the rumors that Storch frequently acts as a ghost producer for the good doctor. Bishop Lamont and Eminem will be included in the guest roster, and it’s rumored that Lloyd Banks, Snoop, Jay Z, Diddy and The Game will also make appearances.
Well... SOHH's blogs report a lot of crazy stuff in regard to Diddy, so I don't know how to take this. But, worth a mention, anyway. I've heard something about it once before, as well.
Hip Hop Game has an interview with Royce da 5'9" where he talks about working with Diddy on Press Play.
What was it like writing for Puffy on Press Play?
It was one of those experiences that was a blessing. I put working with Puff right up there with working with Dre because you learn so much. You learn work ethic. Those dudes were looking at me like I had a strong work ethic. Puff’s follow-through is sick. I must have written 50 verses for the “Tell Me” record. That’s not even counting the other records. The average person would sit there and complain, but when you see the way that Diddy works, it’s an around the clock thing. He has three rooms working at once. You look at that and you say, “Now I see why this nigga’s so rich. He doesn’t stop. He’s like a fucking machine. What’s driving him to be this way?”
It makes me say, “I should be this way. I was out drinking last night and this motherfucker was in the studio. I’m complaining about why his chain is nicer and what makes his music so special.” It’s because he started ten to fifteen years ago and he has not stopped since. That’s my thing.
I tell myself every day that when I’m not hearing my wheels turning in my head, that’s when I know I’m not focused. I don’t have to be focused to do my job. I realize that. I can be drinking every night and going back and forth to the studio and taking the risk of driving home drunk and still make dope records. That’s not enough. Along with that shit comes the hoops that I have to jump through. Mentally, I can’t jump through no hoops anymore. I have to get to the level I know I should be at. I’ve wasted a lot of years fucking around. That’s what I learned being around those dudes. They walk in the room, you see how they operate and you know they know what they’re supposed to be doing.
I spoke to Pharoahe Monch about his experience with Diddy. He said his work ethic completely changed through working with Diddy. Did your work ethic change working on Press Play?
Yeah. My work ethic is going to be way different from now on. I’ve never lacked as far as spending time in the studio. It’s just how my days go. If I go out one night and get drunk and I’m in the studio the next day, I’m still feeling the shit from last night. I’m not as sharp as I could be. I’m working in a job where I need to use my mind, but I’m fucking with my mind doing other things that I feel are fun. I come up with my best shit when I’m focused around the clock. I’m sharp. When I’m sharp, I don’t think anybody can fuck with me. Any hindrance there is me hindering myself. If I can perform to my highest capabilities, I don’t think I can be touched. I’m not there right now. I haven’t shown enough in my actions to claim that right now. That’s something I’ve kept to myself, but you’re going to see.

From sawf.org:
The basket included two of every item for Diddy's kiddies, and consisted of frog slippers, hand-embroidered clothing sets, musical teddy bears, pink cherry shoes, chenille pillows, mobiles, and leather diaper bags which retail for 340 each dollars.
According to the article, the items came from Petit Tresor.

This morning, Kim Porter gave birth to D'Lila Star Combs (after Kim's grandmother) and Jessie James Combs (after Diddy's grandmother). Diddy announced the names through his MySpace page.
Kim's grandmother's name is Lila Star.
My grandmother's name was Jessie Smalls... ...

From MSNBC:
Sean “Diddy” Combs and girlfriend Kim Porter became the parents of twin girls Thursday morning, with the hip-hop impresario flying in from a movie set in Canada for the birth at a Manhattan hospital, said Combs spokesman Robert Zimmerman.
“Diddy received an early Christmas gift,” said Zimmerman. “Both Kim and the girls are doing great.”
Congratulations!
At least, that's the impression I get from this post on Diddy's MySpace.
Diddy's MySpace has posted "All Night Long" by Diddy featuring Fergie. The odd thing is that it is actually different from the version of "All Night Long" that was released as an iTunes bonus track. So, check it out.
From ITV:
Speaking about Man U and Arsenal, he said: "I've heard alot about both teams, I've met players on both teams, so I'm not down with any team.
"I know how serious you all are. I love all teams. I love every football team in the whole wide world."
