Whether he is the most talented musician or not, he is at the epicentre of the creation of that world. Young people view him as a lifestyle."

Richard said after an after-party for the Live Earth concert, "I think he is trying to get into the acting business, so I think it is more -- Diddy is very smart. I think meeting with Sienna Miller may not have been what people thought it was. I think he was probably trying to meet and get ahead. That is what he does." Richard, continues siding with Porter, too "But people take it there. He isn't married, and he is a playboy.... But Kim [Porter] is probably tired of the media making it so big. It’s hard when you have four kids."

Diddy Hangs with Lewis; Maybe Buy an F1 Team?


Sean "Diddy" Combs and auto racing phenom Lewis Hamilton [Fav. of Mine], F1 Driver, were hanging at Diddy's bash in central London. Combs' lavish launch for his Sean John Unforgivable fragrance on Monday, attracted celebrities to help celebrate the debut of Unforgivable. Its reported, Combs announced that he is thinking seriously about joining the F1 circuit by buying a team. Though Diddy is quite weathly, I doubt he'd outright buy or join F1. Maybe, partner considering operarting a Forumula One team is estimated to be $66 million to $400 million investement. That would be a considerable sum of money to join the world's most expensive sport and one of the largest television audience... Although, good place to reach a new market of high-end consumers...

Diddy and Others Secretly Surveillance by NYPD

In a report by allhiphop.com, Bad Boy CEO and 'Vote or Die' organizer Sean "Diddy" Combs with others, including Jay-Z, Alicia Keys were secretly surveillance by NYPD months prior to the Republican National Convention in 2004.

"These documents paint a picture of a surveillance program that was broad, clumsy, and often unlawful," said Donna Lieberman, NYCLU Executive Director. "The NYPD failed to differentiate between unlawful behavior and behavior that is not only lawful but should in fact be cherished and protected. Today the public can finally bear witness to that failure."
