Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Accessories, Features, Music, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos,
Monster announced the DiddyBeats back at CES 2010, and the in-ear fashion headphones have finally started shipping just recently. We were able to get our hands on the DiddyBeats, which as you can see in this episode, are made to invoke a feeling of high fashion. We got the black pair, which is accented with chrome and black leather, definitely a unique look for a pair of earbuds, but really, what would you expect from the Beats by Dr. Dre line and Diddy himself? Get an up-close look at the DiddyBeats in this episode.

American Idol 9: Top 10 Results
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
American Idol’s Top 10 results show opened with a Clash of the Titans movie tie-in. Simon Cowell, of course, was the villain, with the contestants portrayed as Titans in the opening video package. It was pretty cute, but it’s still blatant cross-promotional advertising.
Viewers were not graced with a group performance this week. To see the entire Top 10 singing together on one stage, it seems you’ll have to go to one of the summer tour shows. Though the Idols did not sing together, this particular results show was still jam-packed with stage shows, starting with one favorite AI alum.

MONDAY (8/31)
- Jon & Kate Plus Eight (TLC, 9pm): “Kate and the boys experience the cowboy lifestyle during a trip to a dude ranch, while Jon and the girls have a scavenger hunt at home.” Despite hours of searching, the girls still couldn’t find Daddy’s shame.
- Real Chance of Love 2: Back in the Saddle (VH1, 9pm): “The ladies vent their frustration in a wrestling match in which the winners receive dates with the guys.” The losers will then be asked to wrestle again...for the guys.
- Making His Band (MTV, 10pm): “The hopefuls are caught off guard when Diddy pays them a surprise visit.” The nervous contestants weren’t sure whether to address him as Diddy, P. Diddy, Puffy or Sean.

MONDAY (7/27)
- The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm): “Amy is jealous when she realizes Ben is going on a summer road trip, while she has to continue working and going to school.” I think her previous summer was eventful enough.
- The Bachelorette (ABC, 8pm): Season finale. “Jillian’s choice is down to Ed or Kiptyn in the season finale, taped or Hawaii’s Big Island, where she has outdoor dates with the two, who are also grilled by her family.” Let’s be real: A name like Kiptyn should never be paired with a name like Jillian.
- Making His Band (MTV, 10pm): Series premiere. “Diddy begins his search for talented singers and musicians to back him up on an upcoming tour.” Behind every weak singer is a strong support system.
- Dating in the Dark (ABC, 10pm): “The singles look in their dates’ luggage before spending time with them in the darkroom.” It would be nice to know if anyone was packing heat before the lights went off.

Video: Diddy on KFC vs. Popeye’s fried chicken
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Dinner, Lunch, Side Dishes, Product Reviews, Poultry, America,
Just leave it to Diddy, hip-hop star, fashion mogul, and leader of Bad Boy Records, to bring such a scientific experiment into the forefront of our minds. Why the final word between KFC’s fried chicken and that of Popeye’s has taken so long to be settled is beyond me, but we need to thank the heavens above that Diddy was able to bring this important issue into light.
Now we won’t ruin the results, but we will say that we have to agree with his assessment that says KFC mashed potatoes and gravy beat Popeye’s version, while Popeye’s beans destroy those of KFC. But really, this is all about the chicken, is it not? Hit the video above for the results - we’ve kept you waiting long enough.
Making the Band…without Danity Kane?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, Gossip, Video,
During last season’s finale of Making with the Band 4, Diddy surprised everyone following Danity Kane by making two shocking decisions. (Okay - we could have probably seen the first one coming.) Even before layoffs had become the norm, the girl group’s producer axed Aubrey O’Day and D. Woods after a very uncomfortable meeting. (You can relive that moment after the jump.)

Joaquin Phoenix: The Rapper?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Videos,
UPDATE: Sources are now claiming that Phoenix’s new rapping career is an elaborate hoax.
Either we’re all being punked…or this will be the most interesting film about a “musician” since Dewey Cox.
On Friday night, Joaquin Phoenix - who announced last year that he was giving up acting for music - put on his very first vocal performance before a Las Vegas crowd. Instead of Johnny Cash, clubgoers at LAVO were treated to three songs from an entirely different type of genre: rap.

Questionable Photo of the Day: Joaquin Phoenix
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Hair Styles, Photos,
UPDATE: Several sources are now claiming that Phoenix’s new rapping career is an elaborate hoax.
Who’s that guy Diddy’s staring at? Believe it or not, that’s Walk the Line‘s Joaquin Phoenix. The two - along with Casey Affleck - were spotted partying in Miami Beach earlier this week.
Just a few months back, the Oscar nominee announced that he was giving up acting to focus on his musical career. Hopefully, he’ll also find time to focus on showers and shaving during his retirement. (You can see more pics of the 34-year-old’s new look after the jump.)
Phoenix still has one more film set for the big screen. Two Lovers, also starring Gwyneth Paltrow, is scheduled for a February 13 release.
