Top Bad Boy Exec. Resigns

As reported from MediaTakeOut.com, Bad Boy Entertainment's Senior Director of A&R, Conrad Dimanche has abruptly resigned. According to the website, Dimanche resigned after Puffy refused a salary increase.

Dis ni*ga is sitting on a fortune estimated at $250 million and he wouldn't pay his Senior A&R, matter of fact only A&R- Conrad D - the going rate for an A&R of a major label which is about $250,000 a year... Diddy had the nerve to tell him "he couldn't afford it." And this is after he spent over 1 million dollars on his Kim Porter's son Sweet 16 and did a 100 million dollar joint venture deal with Ciroc Vodka and got Cassie on an allowance of $50,000 per month.

Very interesting development.

"I had invested a lot of time in that relationship, and it wasn't going where it should have been going. So it was time to [end it]. In a relationship, it's important that the people are on the same page at the same time. And we weren't on the same page."

She certainly doesn't believe any man is 100% faithful.

"I will never sit here and say that Puffy -- or any man -- is 100 percent faithful," she explained.

Porter told the magazine both her and Combs are just friends, Sienna Miller wasn't the cause of the split.. And, she went on to say, Puffy's relationship with Jennifer Lopez was an embrassment.

"They're just friends," Porter tells the mag. "That wasn't the cause [of the split]." On J-LO and Puffy... "I never thought it was real. It was an embarrassment."

What a candid piece and interview with Kim. We all wish the best for Porter and Combs.

Diddy Child Support To Reach Over 1 Million?

NY Post Page Six reports, Diddy's child support bill could substantially go up. WAY UP. As Combs' babies momma, Kim Porter could be asking for an hefty child support. Porter the mother of three of Combs' children - Christian, 10, and 7-month-old twins D'Lila Star and Jesse James. Could receive over $100k monthly from Combs, the celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder told Page Six.

"With Misa Hylton-Brim receiving approximately $30,000 a month, there is no reason that Ms. Porter shouldn't be able to get close to $100,000 or more per month in child support. That amount accounts for Porter having three children with Combs and inflation in the years since Misa received the ruling in her case."

In one year, Porter, may collect over 1.2 million in support... Now, thats a lot of money... But, I guess its a small piece of Diddy's estimated fortune over 340 million.

Danity Kane Split? Depends On Who You Ask

As last posted, following up on the Aubrey O'day rumors of joining the Pussycat Dolls. Interscope records denied any rumor of O'day joining the Dolls, according to MTV.com.

Interscope Records — the home of PCD — told MTV News that the rumors of O'Day were "not true," Atlantic Records (DK's label) would only offer a "no comment" when asked if the group were through. All signs, it seemed, pointed toward implosion.

In addition, the Aubrey O'day refuted any negative comments, she may of told TMZ.com cameras. In a statement saying..

Once again I would like to put to rest absurd rumors. I love being a member of Danity Kane and have always been down with DK musically. I'm looking forward to a second DK album and I totally support all members of DK in all of their endeavors.

D Woods, too, recently released a statement concerning her future with DK.. Denying any rumours, she was pursuing a solo career.

For those wondering about "The Girls Club", it is not a group that i have left DK for. It is an organization i've been apart of since before DK. It is my writing team made up of myself, SHANELL aka SNL and MIKA MEANS, along with a crew of many females doing their thing in the industry to create a movement of BOSS B*!@HES. much love and thanks for the support!
ya girl,D.WOODS

It appears the group is still together, however, with the drama of the entertainment industry. How much long?

Is Danity Done?

According to a tipster, Danity Kane has hit a rough note. With the group down to three girls from the original five, Dawn, Shannon, and Aundrea remaining -- minus Aubrey O'day and D. Woods. On Wednesday, reports first surfaced from TMZ.com, where on video Aubrey didn't have much to say about Puffy (while not looking like a happy employee, either), and TMZ reports:

"she [Aubrey O'Day] called out Diddy for practically ditching the band and suspiciously wouldn't deny rumors that she was joining up with the Pussycat Dolls." According to TMZ.com

It is also being rumored, Aubrey has replaced Asia from the Pussycat Dolls. And, the new addition to the Dolls is already in studio recording for the next release.

On D. Woods departure it's being rumored, she's pursuing a solo career.

IF it's true, it's hard to imagine Diddy put so much into Danity Kane. With the first album success. Now to only let two of the most popular members to depart. More to come.

Diddy buys the twins some bling. The fashion/mogul's kids, Jesse James and D'lila Star, were born in December to Combs and girlfriend Kim Porter. The multimillionaire dropped some dough for some bling. Combs, says....

"You start buying the gifts like the earrings and the necklaces and the
bracelets... I bought it for them for now. They're about to get their ears
pierced, maybe, in, like, a couple of months - they have to at least be, like, a
year. I wanna wait for their first birthday but I already bought the stuff.
"They have little diamond necklaces, really cute things... You'd be amazed the
things they have... I'm a real proud dad; you've gotta go looking for the
stuff."

Diddy went to the airwaves on New York's Hot 97 to dismiss the hoax.

"She was playing around with y'all," Diddy telling Hot 97. "That girl ain't even
pregnant. I don't get down like that." "You telling these people these crazing
things in the morning? They can't believe what y'all say...Check this out, she's
not pregnant, I've never dealt with that girl, I never even looked at her for
more than ten minutes... I just called to let you know you can move onto
somebody else's stuff."

Looks like Mase is now officially a member of G-Unit, according to AllHipHop.com.

AHH reports,
Can you imagine The Game and Ma$e battling? Me neither. I've gotten word that Diddy and 50 Cent managed to work out their differences as it pertains to Minister Ma$e. I don't know all the terms of the agreement, but my sources tell and have told me that the deal was finished a minute ago.

I never thought, nor did it re-enter my mind the Cassie rumors leaving Bad Boy. After she denied it via a video blog.. But AHH also reports,

Speaking of Diddy, Cassie has reportedly decided to stay with Bad Boy..

The earlier post on the Gilbert Arenas invite I was looking for, though, I never got.. Some lucky A-listers received the Gilbert A. Invite..

The invitation is a replica of an American Express card with Arenas' face superimposed over the face of Amex's trademark Trojan warrior.

The guest of honor will not speak.

"I'm going to let Diddy do all the talking," Arenas insists. "I'm too shy."

Diddy on Detox Album?

As SOHH.com reports,

With the wave of highly-anticipated albums that dropped in '06, there's really only one West Coast release that people are already checking for in 2007 and that, of course, is Detox.

...as a release date has reportedly been set for September 25th. According to hnnlive.com, the lead single is set to drop in late spring, with the first video premiering in June.

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.

We'll have to see, no official word, yet.
