Just a snippet but your boy Hov is back!!!!!

Diddy Actin’ and Sangin’

Diddy is really taking his acting craft really seriously.  We saw him on last weeks episode of CSI: Miami where he played a defense lawyer and we always see him actin a fool on MTB4.  I guess he likes acting a fool so much that he decided to test his comedy chops:

 Diddy told late night talk show host Craig Ferguson, “I just signed on to do a comedy, as a matter of fact. I can’t announce who it’s with, but it’s with some definitely comedy heavy hitters.”

Also on last week’s premiere episode of “Making the Band 4,” Diddy announced that his new album will be titled Last Train to Paris. The project is on track for a September release.

“T-Pain gave me permission to use the vocoder, the Auto-Tune, and he showed me various tricks that nobody knows but him and myself.” 

 

50 Cent and Rick Ross Take Beef Too Far Then Bring It Back

The ’80s classic film Scarface starring Al Pacino provided a blueprint for would-be drug kingpins and one the main character’s mantra was to keep women and children out of whatever violence and criminal behavior was afoot. Both 50 Cent and Rick Ross violated the cardinal rule but both men were then big enough to do the right thing.

50 Cent released a video titled, “I Wanna Tell You What A Psychic Told Me,” of himself and/or his associates in a Florida retail store owned by DJ Khaled’s mother. The video suggests that the woman may be in danger and is a warning to Ross and DJ Khaled that he knows where Khaled’s mother lives and works.

Many fans thought the G-Unit general had taken it too far by bringing DJ Khaled’s mother into it but according to 50 Cent he was only responding to Ross who posted a picture of his son, Marquise Jackson, on his recently launched Thisiscurly.com website on Sunday, February 8th. The caption under Marquise’s picture said, “Lil Monkey.”

50 Cent told Hot 97FM’s Miss Info,

“How come everyone hears the shot, but nobody sees the slap that comes before the shot? You push, I punch, you stab, I shoot!”

Ross denied having anything to do with the thisiscurly.com site but as a temporary truce 50 Cent removed the video from his website and the photo of Marquise has been removed from thisiscurly.com.

Weekend Chrianna Updates

It’s taken almost a week, but Chris Brown has finally spoken out about the incident that landed him in hot water the night before the Grammys. In an official statement, Brown said

“Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writing under my name are frauds.”

Meanwhile, Rihanna is back at home with her family in Barbados. Her dad, Ronald Fenty, told People magazine, “There is some bruising. She will be all right. I think so.” So far, Rihanna has not spoken publicly about what may have happened with Brown last week, but her father said, “At some point, she will speak out. I hope she will stand up for women all over the world.” Of Brown, Fenty said, “You think you know somebody, but you really don’t.”

Chris Brown’s camp may be looking for a crisis expert to help rebuild his image. Multiple sources confirm to Entertainment Weekly’s website that nobody has been hired yet, but Alan Nierob, who helpedMel Gibson after the actor’s anti-Semitic ouburst in 2006, and Howard Bragman, who advised Isaiah Washington following his homophobic confrontation with castmate T.R. Knight, have both been recommended to Brown’s reps. Earlier this week, Bragman told EW.com that he thinks it could take Brown years to rehabilitate his image, even though he hasn’t even had a trial — much less been convicted of anything — yet. 

Howard Bragman

“What he is accused of doing is a bad thing — and I’m talking about that in the court of public opinion. The only thing probably worse is murder, rape, and hurting an animal.” Bragman added that Brown is young, talented and likable, which could help him. But, it’s going to take time. He added that Brown has to “strap himself in and be ready for a long ride. It’s not a comfortable ride.”

Tameka Recovering After Cardiac Arrest

Usher’s wife, Tameka Raymond, is still in the hospital and continuing to recover after going into cardiac arrest shortly before undergoing plastic surgery last week. According to the Associated Press, doctors say she “was revived in less than a minute by heart massage.” She was then placed in an induced coma before being taken to the intensive-care unit. Raymond was reportedly going in for liposuction in Sao Paulo, Brazil. There’s no word on when she’ll be released.

Again why would Tameka go to Brazil for what seems to be a routine surgery as liposuction. Stay in the good old United States when you are getting that Baby Fat sucked out.

Denzel and Tom Cruise Teaming it in Spy Thriller

Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise are coming together in the upcoming movie, The Matarese Circle. A rep for MGM confirmed to E! News that the Hollywood heavyweights will star in the spy thriller based on the novel by the same author who wrote Bourne Identity. The two are set to play mortal enemies — Cruise a Russian spy and Washington, an American intelligence officer — who are forced to team up in the wake of a political conspiracy. If the film sees box office success, a franchise could be in the works.

My only problem is we dont know if this will reignite Tom Cruise’s career or hurt Denzel Washington’s.  But hell Jamie Foxx landed an Oscar Nomination when he teamed up with Tom Cruise and I support everything Denzel does anyway. 

The man they call Diddy has plenty of artists that have felt burned by him in the past. (the list gets longer every year)  But this is the first time that an artist decided to write a book about the mogul.  Rapper Mark Curry has a book coming out called ‘Dancing with the Devil’ where he describes being a Bad Boy artist:
