Last Sunday, Dirty Money premiered the new "Hello Good Morning" French remix on Skyrock radio. The track features French rapper Booba. Below, check out Diddy discussing the collaboration.
Ann Powers of The Los Angeles Times has a great feature on Janelle Monae and the Wondaland Arts Society.
"It takes a Puff," said Wonder. "It takes somebody to be your champion. We know he'll stand up for us, for our art. And you can't say that Puff is a small-idea kind of guy."
Writing from Paris, Combs confirmed Wonder's view. "The Wondaland Arts Society knows exactly who they are," he commented. "I know once people see her perform, and hear her sing live, they 'get it.' … I respect what they are doing and just want the world to see it. She doesn't conform to any particular genre, and that's what I love about her."
Earlier this week, I reported that Diddy would make an appearance on HBO's "Entourage." The Boombox has a little more information.
The Diddy appearance will come during what's sure to be a quixotic quest for actor Jerry Ferrara under his Turtle guise. The character's storyline throughout the season involves starting a new business and all the ups and downs that come with trying to rustle up the big investments necessary to achieve success in a luxury town. Ferrara is slated to encounter Diddy and Wahlberg on a golf course as he tries to get his funds up.
Update (6/24/10): Updated the positions held by "The ArchAndroid" and removed the placement of "Hello Good Morning" on the Hot Digital Songs chart, in order to reflect Billboard's own later updates.
Here are Bad Boy's positions on the most recent Billboard U.S. album and single charts, released today.

Music producer Alex Da Kid spoke with Rap-Up.com about working with Diddy early one morning. Diddy gave him some interesting direction, but Alex Da Kid is unsure if any of his work will end up on Dirty Money's "Last Night to Paris."
According to Alex, Diddy wasn’t shy in expressing quirky suggestions for the sound of a potential hit record. “[He was] like, ‘I want the beat that makes me feel blue,’” he continues, “[That's] blue as in the color.” While disco balls shined in the dimly-lit studio, the “Hello Good Morning” artist even went as far as asking for a tune with race and location in mind. “[Diddy] said to me, ‘I want a beat that makes me feel like a white man in a basement in Atlanta. ... Diddy’s hilarious.”

Back in March, a BBC report indicated that Diddy was interested in making an investment in a English football (soccer) club. The speculation was that it was the Crystal Palace club. Shortly thereafter, the administrator of that club indicated Diddy had offered "help," but not help that included money.
Speaking to the BBC, Diddy spoke about those reports, indicating that it had been looked into, but that it just wasn't the right business move for him at that moment.
In short, he's open to investing in a club, but it would have to be the right move and that "it's definitely one of [his] dreams one day to be a part of a sports franchise."
