Combs raising money for charity, Biggies Mom lashes out in book on Puffy and Lil Kim

Rapper turned fashion mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has issued new apparel from his label Sean John for Breast Cancer Care. This time Diddy has produced a hot pink slip for charity, and helping him launch it was one of his favorite actresses, Liz Hurley. "I've always had a thing for Liz," he has admitted. "She oozes class and style." The pair certainly seemed at ease together when the one-off creation was revealed at New York Fashion Week to raise money for breast cancer care. The slip, which will be available in US store Bloomingdale's, is just an appetizer for Diddy's long-awaited foray into female fashion as his women's wear collection 'Sean' is set to hit shops in the not too distant future

Biggies Mom lashes out at Lil Kim and Diddy

New York Daily News's Lloyd Grove reports: The mother of murdered hip-hop star Notorious B.I.G. - gunned down in 1997, presumably by rival rappers - savages Sean (Diddy) Combs and Lil' Kim in a soon-to-be-published memoir.

In "Biggie: Voletta Wallace Remembers Her Son," due out Oct. 25 from Simon & Schuster's Atria books, Wallace alleges that Combs - who signed Biggie to his Bad Boy record label in the 1990s - and Kim, Biggie's sometime lover, both used him to further their own careers.

"I'm glad my son does not have to witness that the very people that he thought he could ride and die with wouldn't think twice about using his mother," Wallace writes about her late son Christopher, Combs and Kimberly Jones. "I am glad that he's not here to see how they have used his image and his name."

She adds: "I believe Sean loved my son - after he was dead. I used to tell Christopher all the time not to trust Sean."

Ever since Biggie's death, Combs has regularly invoked his memory, as he did weeks ago when he performed an elaborate tribute at the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami.

Combs to Donate $1 mil. to RedCross Relief Fund

From USA Today: Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jay-Z have pledged $1 million to the American Red Cross to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The two rappers announced their joint donation Thursday, saying they hoped to inspire others, especially blacks, to give. "This is our community," Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter told The Associated Press by phone. "When I turn on CNN, I see a lot of black people on the streets. I know it's other people too, but those projects have been hit hard."

Combs agrees. "We are all descendants from each other's families. When you hear black people say 'brothers' and 'sisters,' it's really true. These are all people that I know I'm related to somehow, some way — the human race family.

Former New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial, now president of the Urban League, said Thursday that those left in the city "are people who are African-American mostly but not completely, and people who were of little or limited economic means. They are the folks, we've got to get them out of there."
