Diddy lied...what's new?

Yeah Diddy and Cassie were spotted cuddling in NY days ago. But didn't the whole world already know he had a thing for this girl when he first got her to join Bad Boy then Sean Jean from a myspace meeting? Cassie gave hope that any random person could land a dream contract from myspace fame but in reality Diddy just wanted to tap that. Your girl is very cute but she can't sing.

The truth is no one really knows what's going on with him, Cassie or Kim Porter when the camera's aint on. And it aint really none of our business but since we oh so like to know I gotta share this pics. Aight...movin' on.

Day 26 (Making the Band 4) exclusive interview!

Robert, Q, Willie, Brian, Mike

Q, Mike, Shem, Robert, Me (kneeling), Willy, Brian

The boys from Bad Boy's newest group, Day 26 (Making the Band 4) were in Atlanta over the weekend. But these boys are not so bad. In fact they are actually pretty good and have a solid image. These men are actually friends and "brothers", and truly likeable. Sean Combs put together a group of 5 talented singers, very cool to talk to and down to earth (so far) oh and...did i mention that they were all sexy. Yes all of them! Even young Q has a lil sump sump adorable about him in person.

In-between hitting the airwaves at V103, and a couple clubs, the boys took some time to talk to some of the press (ME!!) at The R Group (located in Midtown Atlanta) and tell us what's up with them these days. And since I truly won't miss an episode every Monday night on MTV, I was too excited to get the opportunity to rap with the singers.

Here are some of my own observations of each guy's stand out characteristics most from our meeting, some from tv:
Q- The talker, The youngin', sincere
Brian- The leader, Most mature (wife and kids), Cool, Fire cracker
Robert- The guy who wants everyone to really like him, Another talker/interjector, wants everyone to know what the band is really all about, Flashy, "Misunderstood", Another fire cracker
Mike- The comedian, The flirt, The Real
Willy- Also cool, The quieter one but will bust that head if it comes down to blows (hello my boy is from my hometown Chicago yall...oh and he's married girls so back off!)

But I have to tell you one thing they all share and have in common is they are incredibly WARM. I felt as if amongst friends and I received sincere hugs (no kisses ladies) from all the guys (My sweater still smells like Mike...he smelled goooooowd yall! Okay kidding...my dear sweater wasnt lucky enough to carry the scent but he did smell mighty fine.) and genuine appreciation for the interview.

Listen to the Day 26 interview here! Thanks Shem for the pictures!

Me being not only a reporter but a fan, I found out some cool things during our all too short interview. To find out who these talented young men look up to musically, how they now deal with family, going out, changes, and to hear them singing a piece for the fans, click on the link below.

As we know, the album has been recorded and will drop March 25th. So, "Hurry Up and Buy!"! You can actually pre-order now here from Amazon.

A special thanks to Tyreal Lewis (President) and Katena Keno (PR)at The R Group for their kindness and setting things up for a great interview! I look forward to working with you in the future.

Listen to DAY 26 at The R Group here- Turn up your volume, these guys have some things to say! And make sure to tune into MTV every Monday night at 10 p.m., e.s.t., for new episodes of Making the Band to keep up with the Bad Boy triple threat: Day 26, Donnie, and Danity Kane.

It's a "Stunna" Sweet 16 party planned for Quincy Brown (Kim Porter's & Al B Sure's/Diddy's son)

I know right...the title is a little complicated. I don't know how much Diddy will ultimately have to do with this "Stunna" titled sweet 16 celebration staring Quincy (who looks JUST like his poppa by the way!) since the infamous Kim/Diddy split (that needed to happen by the way...it was her own sound decision, she took her time and the time must've been right) took place earlier this fall. Well whether Dids is still playing Daddy or not, i'm sure it'll be a party to remember. MTV's popular TV reality show, Sweet 16, which showcases rich (sometimes famous) parents balling out of control to lavish expensive, cars, jewelry, clothing, talent performances and venues to please their "entitled" children is going to be taping what I'm sure will be a super party. Especially if Diddy has anything to do with it. Diddy is a perfectionist, which I can't be mad at him for. Even if his personal life may be in mayhem, his professional life is just fine and the man has got that eye and flair for making things look hot. When the man stamps his name on something people know a memory will be made. Puffy and Quincy have history because moms and puffy had history so I'm sure Puff will be involved somehow.

Well I hear that Quincy who is Kim's son from Al B Sure is a sweet kid. I sure hope so. He went on the radio and gave away 100 passes to his shindig to some lucky winners. A big twist on this story may be that he gives out gifts to people instead of getting a truck full of them on TV (that's a rumor going around, a positive rumor but...we'll see). But most of the kids on the show seem spoiled, rude, ungrateful, arrogant, expectant and whiny. But hey I'm not the parent so it's not my battle. The producers at MTV (and other networks of course) however do have a slick way of editing the footage taped before and during these "rights of passage" parties that make the kids featured on the episode seem like mini monsters. They do point out the worst flaws for viewers to "ooh" and "ahhh" about. Oh well it makes for good TV. I watch it!

Anyhow the party is this coming Saturday night at a PRIVATE LOCATION!!! PR for the event is being handled by The Garner Circle.

Jermaine Dupri and Sean "Diddy" Combs, money made of liquor

Jermaine at at book signing for, "Young Rich and Dangerous" 10/23/07

Rappers and Hip Hop moguls are delighting in the money that liquor is bringing them these October days!

Jermaine "JD" Dupri is mega rich, classy and even on the kinda snobbish side according to some who have met him (and yes I have met him, but his attitude I will not talk about). He's a rapper, music producer, club owner, label mogul of So So Def Records in Atlanta and now he can add blank and writer to his accomplishments.

Dupri is the new face of Courvoisier VSOP entitled, "Find Greatness Within" and is surrounded by things that have made him successful in the ADS. The AD tagline reads, “Layers of subtlety and taste, developed over time. Enjoy Responsibly.”

Jermaine's new book released earlier this month, "Young Rich and Dangerous (which was also the title for the last Kris Kross album in 1996)" is a guide into the Hip Hop game. He also speaks very candidly about some touchy subjects like the Justin Timerlake and Janet Jackson wardrobe uh-oh Superbowl fiasco over 3 years ago! According to EURweb.com Dupri is still perturbed that Timberlake left Jackson to the wolves being that it was him that exposed the breast in the first place.

"I think Justin Timberlake is a talented performer. But he's very ordinary-looking. He could be any skinny white kid from the suburbs of Orlando. You could go to the mall and find another Justin. He doesn't make his style interesting even when he's onstage. To me, he just doesn't look like a star."

Well Dupri despite what Justin "looks like" according to you because most of American women feel that he looks just fine.

Other liquor news has Sean "Diddy" Combs as the man behind Ciroc Vodka. But the difference between Diddy and Dupri is that he is more than an endorsement because he is helping to develop the brand and gets a percent of the profits. Sounds lucrative Dids! Maybe Ciroc will do for Puff what VitaminWater did for 50...nah...but extra money is always nice!

Diddy recently put out his Unforgivable fragrance line for men and women and just got finished making another band earlier this summer so he stays busy making money and in the eye of the public. Although I'm not too faithful that the latest "band" is going to do so well as in the past after these hopefuls drop their first album they seem to fall off of the face of the music charts. Star development Diddy...learn it.
