Free Cab Rides From Diddy!

Diddy is offering free cab fare to New Yorkers this New Year’s Eve party goers.
The 39-year-old music mogul and Ciroc premium vodka have teamed up with City Taxi & Limousine Commission and E! Entertainment to distribute thousands of debit cards, valued up to $15.

“New York is the world’s most iconic New Year’s Eve City,” Diddy says. “So let’s lead by example and show everyone that a sophisticated holiday celebration doesn’t just end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely.”

We like it, Diddy! Street teams will distribute the debit cards in the Times Square area and Chelsea’s nightclub areas between 11PM on New Year’s Eve and 3AM on New Year’s Day. Pretty cool, huh? If you're crazy enough to be in NYC for New Years' (ha,ha!), perhaps you can take advantage of this cool idea! Diddy wants YOU to party responsibly!

Say Goodbye To D-Woods & Aubrey!

Say goodbye to two ladies of 'Making The Band!' In the MTV show's finale, we saw two members of Diddy's female r&b group Danity Kane, Aubrey O'Day and D. Woods get the axe! There's always crazy drama on that reality show, I'm not surprised!

Some critics are saying it was just a ploy from P. Diddy to keep making more money off the show and the band and that eventually he'll bring the members back. Wouldn't put it passed them, seems like a good marketing plan to me! Their single, "Damaged," was a huge summer hit this year.

McCain Better Listen To Diddy!

Diddy had some choice words for Republican presidential nominee John McCain and posted a video blog (vlog) ranting about why McCain could have chose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate. In his latest vlog, he makes a good point, haha, Diddy says:




“John you are bugging the f— you. I don’t even understand what planet you’re on now. This is the job to be the leader of the free world. No disrespect, I love ya, I want you to live to 110, but what if, God forbid, you got a running mate, you become President. Alaska? ALASKA? ALASKA? ALASKA? Come on, man. I don’t even know if there are any black people in Alaska. John, come on. Sarah [Palin]? What in the hell? ALASKA? You’re bugging the f— out. Sarah Palin, you ain’t ready to be vice president. ALASKA MOTHERF—-ER? What is the reality in Alaska? There aren’t even any crackheads in Alaska. There aren’t no black people in Alaska.”

Lepaparazzi News Update: Kim Porter's Diddy man jibe

Porter, who has three children with the hip-hop star, expected Diddy to stray but hoped he would have the decency to tell her himself.

She said in an interview with Essence magazine: "I would have preferred to find out from him because that's what a man would do.

"I know it's hard for anyone to say to their significant other, 'I've gotten into some s**t and I got a baby on the way.' But men do get caught up in things, I'm not naive to that. Still, there's a right and a wrong way to handle it. Because, most of all, we were friends. Even if I couldn't have understood it as a woman, I would have understood it as a friend.

"As black women we sacrifice. We stand by our man, through thick and thin, through whatever. But if you feel like, 'Maybe I am getting the short end of the stick,' that's when a change has to take place."

Porter, 36, was pregnant with twins when she learned from a friend that Diddy had a secret child with Sarah Chapman, 33, a fashion worker from Atlanta.

She added: "I wasn't even coming from the place of who, what, why. I laid low and did what women do, I did my background work, collected information about her.

"But I wasn't even on it like that because I was pregnant, and what was bubbling inside me was a blessing from God. I didn't have time for any drama, trauma and bulls**t."

Porter said Diddy, 37, finally told her the truth about his lovechild with Chapman, and begged for forgiveness.

But Porter decided to leave the rapper to set an example to her baby daughters.

She said: "It's not an original script. He's not the first man who's cheated. He's not the first man who's had a baby outside of his relationship. He's not the originator of this. But at this point in my life - I have girls now - it's a different programme."

Porter and Diddy's eight-month-old twin daughters are called D'Lila Star and Jesse James. The former couple also have a nine-year-old son Justin.

Diddy has another son, 13-year-old Christian, from a previous relationship, while Porter has a teenage son, Quincy, with singer Al B. Sure.
