Diddy will wine and dine his guests with the style and sophistication that only he can bring. Never one to let controversy slow him down, Diddy has risen above the recent controversy surrounding the print ad for the fragrance. Retailers across the country rejected the print ad deemed too "hot" and "raunchy." Estee Lauder, the fragrance's parent company responded by re-shooting a new "store-friendly" ad. The original is still being used in magazines and on billboards.

Diddy played an active role in creating a signature scent that captures the mood of sexiness and elegance. The top notes of the fragrance contain a clean, wet citrus blend of Sicilian Lemon, Italian Bergamot, Moroccan Tangerine, Grapefruit and Juniper, illuminated by a Sparkling Champagne Accord. The fragrance captivates with mid-note heart of Mediterranean Air Accord, Tuscan Florentine Iris, Clary Sage and Lavender. The scent satisfies the most masculine man and draws in the most chic women. Sean John's Unforgivable Fragrance retails for $55 (2.5 oz) and $75 (4.2oz), and will be available February 15th in department stores and specialty stores across the country.

L.A. P.D ordered to pay Wallace Family, And "Final Chapter" remains steady.

A Federal Court has ordered the city of Los Angeles to pay the Christopher Wallace family for withholding evidence in the Biggie Smalls civil suit... LA. Times continued...

In a stinging rebuke, a federal judge Friday ordered the city of Los Angeles to pay $1.1 million in attorney fees and costs to the family of slain rap artist Notorious B.I.G. as sanctions for intentionally withholding evidence.

U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper declared a mistrial last summer in the family's civil lawsuit after finding that a Los Angeles Police Department detective hid statements linking the killing to rogue LAPD Officers David A. Mack and Rafael Perez, a central figure in the Rampart police scandal.

At the time, city attorneys protested that the statements had come from a jailhouse informant seeking special treatment, and robbery-homicide Det. Steven Katz insisted that he had overlooked the transcript of the remarks in his desk.

But Cooper ruled that Katz and perhaps others had deliberately concealed the information and said it could have bolstered the family's contention that Mack was involved in the killing.

The sanctions followed a series of legal volleys in which Cooper asked the plaintiffs' attorneys to submit fees and costs — and the city to contest those calculations.

Though Cooper didn't give the family the $2 million it originally sought, she left open the possibility of an additional award of $300,000. (More at L.A. Times)

Diddy Ad Censored.. And Bad Boy additions

A recent ad for Estee Lauder fragrance "Unforgivable" featured Sean "Diddy" Combs with two scantily clad women has been pulled, after being called too racy for department stores.

The ad featured the hip-hop/fashion mogul in bed with two females, in a situation that implied a threesome. Estee Lauder ad was thought to be inappropriate for family department stores, and has been replaced with another, featuring Diddy and a single model.

John Demsey, global president of Estee Lauder, says, "It is unfortunate that some people were so uncomfortable with something with that much sexual presence." Billboard ads that featured the original three will remain unchanged.

Unforgivable by Estee Lauder is available with 2.5-ounce bottle, found only at Saks Inc.'s Saks Fifth Avenue, sells for $300. A less expensive version will be in 1,800 department stores starting on Feb. 15.

Bad Boy addition,
Elephant Man recently told the UK's BBC, he's officially part of Bad Boy also, “The album title's Ova Di Wall. Nuttin' nah change, the only difference is that it's on Bad Boy." And related news, it has been rumored Killer Mike, of Outkast, will be joining Bad Boy records.

Another Chapter in Chronicle of Diddy

Another trial can be wrote in the history of Sean "Diddy" Combs, this one went better then the past few.. No money exchanged, no time, no mo' problems; the case Kirk Burrowes (former President of BBWEG) vs. Sean Combs (CEO BBWEG)... The State of New York appeals court has finally sided with the Bad Boy head, the Court tossed out a claim Mr. Burrowes was threatened (with a baseball bat) by his former Boss to sell his stake of Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment Group..

The alleged incident occured in 1996 can only lead one to believe, the former employee was trying to extort his former boss of thousands of dollars through a legal settlement...
