Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap,
P. Diddy wants to be known as Puff Daddy again.
The rap mogul - real name Sean Combs - announced in 2001 that he had changed his stage name to P. Diddy, but started using the moniker he was best known by in the late '90s again this week, as he took to Twitter to share a teaser for his upcoming video "Big Homie," in which he introduces himself as Puff Daddy.
The 44-year-old star, who is gearing up to release his first album in four years, titled MMM, this year, hit back at fans for criticizing him for making another name change and insisted he's simply going back to the name he has "always used." Addressing the issue on Monday, the record producer tweeted, "For the record, I did not change my name. I always have been and always will be PUFF DADDY! 😊 Be cool Man lol #MMM #BigHomie RT!!!! [sic]." He later asked, "#DIDDYORDADDY ???"
The rapper, who is also sometimes referred to by friends as Puff or Puffy, decided to change his name 13 years ago after he was acquitted on gun-possession and bribery charges in New York City.

Justin Bieber wants to move to Atlanta.
The 19-year-old pop superstar has been in the city since last week and has been out partying with P. Diddy, T.I. and Rick Ross and has enjoyed every minute of his time there.
Atlanta was the first place Bieber - who was raised in London, Ontario - lived when he moved to the US from Canada to embark on his music career after he was signed up by his manager Scooter Braun and he has fond memories of the place. He also hopes he will attract less attention in Atlanta, Georgia, than he does in Los Angeles.
According to TMZ, Bieber asked Diddy and T.I. for property advice and the best locations in the city.
The "Boyfriend" singer intends to start looking at properties in the next several weeks. However, Bieber is not completely turning his back on Los Angeles County and has been looking at various 20 acre estates in Hidden Valley.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Magnolia, Documentary, Comedy, Celebrity Gossip,
Joaquin Phoenix’s I’m Still Here is still making waves, and most movie reviewers are still scratching their heads. Phoenix scored plenty of huge headlines when he purportedly walked away from his acting career to pursue rap, but it was his David Letterman appearance that really got people talking.
Ben Stiller famously impersonated Phoenix at the Oscars, appearing on stage in a full beard to poke fun at Joaquin’s rugged look. But Phoenix says that Stiller, along with several others who appeared in the pseudo-documentary, was in on the joke.

Diddy says singing on Last Train to Paris was difficult
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap, R&B / Soul,
Diddy admitted singing on his new album was “nerve wracking”. The hitmaker - best known as a rapper and businessman - said his move to showcasing his vocal prowess on new album ‘Last Train To Paris’, released by his new group Dirty Money, was particularly daunting. He told NME: “There’s definitely nerves. It’s nerve wracking because there’s more singing for me, and being on tour with bandmates. You have a new concept, and it took people a while to buy into it. But as we’ve started performing they’ve started buying into the concept. And now people have expectations.”
Diddy - who is joined in the group by singers Kaleena Harper and Dawn Richard - added returning to the music industry after a four year break, some people have forgotten how strong a back catalogue he has. He said: “I think a lot of times people forget how many hits I’ve had. I take pride in having hit records that still play in clubs now. I take people on a musical journey, and when we bring that up to date, it just gets more intense.”
Diddy Wants to Work for American Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,
Sean Diddy Combs wants to be the newest judge on American Idol - so much so that he’s offered to take a pay cut.
Combs has stated that he’ll work for less than what the show formerly paid Simon Cowell, who will no longer be a judge on the popular reality series.
“As a matter of fact I have a new negotiation,” Sean Combs told British TV station GMTV. “I would take a five percent cut on what [Simon Cowell] was getting. He was on something like $34 million, and that’s peanuts.”
But we bet it pays better than VH1, right Diddy?
