"(She) also (said) that she wanted me to be one of the first guests on her show." Stewart's daytime show MARTHA debuts on September 12.

Claims of Porter's Nose broken during Fight are FALSE

P Diddy Donates to Art for Life, Sponsoring Five Children

Word is that P Diddy forgot his wallet, but wait: Sean Combs turned out to support Russell Simmons' Art for Life fund-raiser at his fellow rap mogul's East Hampton home on July 30. But, some thought maybe P Diddy forgot to his wallet. Star Jones noticed that Combs didn't sponsor a child at first at Russell Simmons’ Art for Life Fundraiser' while celebrity attendees Alicia Keys, Usher, Vivica A. Fox and others readily handed over thousand-dollar checks for the cause. Finally, Combs out-sponsored everyone by sponsoring five children. "Puffy was happy to contribute $5,000 to a great evening. Of course he'll send his check," said his rep. Last year, Diddy gave $30,000 to Simmons' Art for Life, which supports children’s arts education.

P Diddy to Host the MTV VMA's

Combs on upcoming Announcement and MTV's VMA Blowout hosted by the Diddy

The Original Bad Boy himself SEAN 'P DIDDY' COMBS will unveil his new name in time for the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards at the end of August (05). He teases, "There will be an announcement two weeks from now to clarify what's going on with my name." Any speculation, what it might be?

Combs to Host MTV's VMA's

Luxury yachts, tricked-out cars, P. Diddy, and lots and lots of water.

MTV announced Monday that its Video Music Awards will feature all of those elements next month as it seeks once again to reinvent an awards show that routinely lures big stars and makes racy headlines.

Punk rockers Green Day led all musical acts with eight nominations. Missy Elliott followed with six, and Gwen Stefani and U2 each had five.

P. Diddy will host the Aug. 28 awards show, which comes at the height of Miami's steamy summer and peak of hurricane season. The hip-hop mogul - or someone dressed like him (he was too far away to tell for sure) - swooped into Monday's beachfront announcement on a jet pack.

"One word - hot," said P. Diddy, wearing a white suit and a gray shirt with no tie. "It's hot out here, and it's going to be hot at the show."

P. Diddy promised the show would include scene-stealing stunts like in the past. While there was plenty of sex appeal last year, there was little shock value compared to the 2003 show that featured the infamous Madonna-Britney Spears kiss.

"I'm going to tell the artists that if you want to get naked and run across the stage, go ahead and do it," P. Diddy said. "I'm not going to do teleprompter reading and corny jokes."

Besides Green Day, scheduled performers at the AmericanAirlines Arena overlooking picturesque Biscayne Bay include Kanye West and Kelly Clarkson. Also, for the firs time, the VMAs will be scored with original music composed by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park and hip-hop producer Lil' Jon. West and Clarkson announced some nominees Monday.

Water will be the show's theme, and MTV promised to create the most elaborate water effects ever produced for an awards show. The water show will be engineered in the arena by the same production company that erected the fountain in front of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

"It could be a gigantic waterfall in the arena. It could be remote performances from pools around Miami," said Dave Sirulnick, the show's executive producer.

Celebrities once again will pull up to the arena in gleaming yachts.

But they will receive competition from other stars, who will arrive in souped-up cars on the red carpet. As the celebrities arrive, viewers will get tours of those cars from the talent themselves.

"I want to show up in a pimped-out (Ford) Bronco," said Clarkson, a Texas native. "I want big Texas wheels and I want them to jack it up."

Diddy also said he will be offering a $100,000 prize for the best-dressed who tread the red carpet, which could be changed to white this year at the host's request.

P. Diddy will host the Aug. 28 awards show on MTV.

Rapper/singer and Bad Boy CEO Sean "P Diddy" Combs promised "another side" of him in his upcoming album. Diddy declared he's going back to basics for his next works, adopting a personality which isn't "self-centered." The rapper turned mogul of everthing, has enjoyed many alter ego's and personas. Including Puff Daddy, P Diddy, Puffy but the self-proclaimed Bad Boy has turned another page in his life, Combs says, "You'll be seeing another side of me, I'm going back to more of the days when there was true rock and roll stars.

"I will be playing a character, there will be something a little eccentric, a little bit different, something we'll be able to have fun with. Something, I think, that's missing in music right now." Combs, said. Sean "P Diddy" Combs is expected to announce his new name, in the upcoming week possible in a US Weekly interview from what I'm hearing, hitting newsstands this weekend.
