Cameron Diaz Adds Diddy To Her List Of Really Random Hookups

There really is something about Cameron Diaz. The lovely leggy blonde has had dozens of leading men in her nearly 20 years as a film star, but she’s had almost as many in her personal life too! Cam has been romantically linked to such diverse (some would say “random”) dudes as Justin Timberlake, baseballer Alex Rodriguez, and even self-proclaimed Mind Freak, Criss Angel. But now it looks like she can add Diddy to her list of snuggle buddies.

Eyewitnesses told the New York Post that she and Diddy were mackin’ it at at the Dream Downtown Hotel on Saturday night. It was apparently after 1 a.m. when Diddy arrived at her table, and soon the bottles of Ciroc started flowing. “They were kissing and making out,” and being “very affectionate” as they danced before leaving together in the wee hours of the morning, the source said. Despite this, reps for both stars claim that the meeting was purely platonic. “They just friends,” said Diddy’s publicist, while Diaz’s agent insists that they were simply discussing a movie project. Sure…

Diddy’s 42 Hottest Looks For His 42nd Birthday

Diddy changes clothes like he changes his name: a lot. The rap mogul could probably wear a different bomb outfit every day for the rest of his life! He’s got a pimped out wardrobe that he sums up in three words: “Swagger. Timeless. Diverse.” Yeah, that sounds about right to us! From sleek suits to pink polos, fur-lined jackets to straight-up T-shirts, Diddy is just as much of a fashion icon as a hip hop legend. His clothing line Sean John has won awards all around the world, which makes sense when you consider who’s in charge. So in honor of his 42nd birthday, we’ve assembled his 42 (!) hottest looks from over the years. Enjoy!

Diddy Flips Out At Club Dude For Drinking Non-Diddy Endosed Vodka

Diddy apparently has strong feelings about vodka, as one club go-er learned the hard way over the weekend. The incident began last Saturday night after the 2011 BET Hip-hop Awards in Atlanta. Diddy and his entourage rolled over to the nearby Compound club after the show, where a reveler named Ricky Parker was apparently drinking Grey Goose vodka. Whether he was doing this to intentionally piss Diddy off remains to be seen, but the rapper/Circoc Vodka spokesman definitely wasn’t happy. We’re sure he meant to express his displeasure at Ricky’s beverage choice in a sane, calm, and rational manner, befitting a man of Diddy’s stature. However, it came out of his mouth as: “B-tch ass n—s! Put that s–t down before I come smack that purple shirt off your ass!”

Things got even worse as Diddy reportedly threw ice at the man, then began screaming racial and homophobic slurs. Good thing fellow rapper T.I. was on hand to step in as the voice of reason. “Let them n—-s drink what the f–k they want man,” he begged his buddy Diddy over the club’s PA system. “I’d go to war with you, but come on man, let’s go.” T.I.’s an experienced negotiator, having already talked down a suicidal jumper, so we’re glad he was around to calm Diddy down.

It took Diddy a few days of chilling out to realize his over reaction, but last night he took to his twitter account to apologize for how he acted. “I’m sorry for the ignorant way I repesented [SIC] myself,” he typed. “I have backslid and regressed. Forgive me for my ignorance. Pray for me pls. I know better and I am better.” One dude who won’t be forgiving the rapper anytime soon is Ricky Parker, who tells TMZ that he feels “humiliated and disrespected” by Diddy. “You won’t ever hear me support him from this moment forward.” Maybe Diddy should buy him a drink? Check out the vid of the incident under the jump!

90′s Flashback! Classic Fashion From Scream Premieres Past

While everyone from Matthew Lillard to Emma Roberts attended this week’s Scream 4 premiere, it still felt like something was missing. It wasn’t until we checked out photos from the olden days that we realized what was wrong. Sure, they’d found all the old stars, but where was their wild nineties fashion! We don’t want David Arquette in a sharp suit—we want him dressed like a “pop-punk-ska” bass player! There were no trenchcoats worn with short skirts, no parachute pants, and not a single cornrowed Melissa Joan Hart to be found anywhere. They don’t just make Scream movies like they used to, they don’t make premieres like they used to!

See photos of fine ’90s fashion from your favorite Scream stars—plus celebrity pals like Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston and The Artist Formerly Known As Puff Daddy—in the gallery below.

Bathing Model Catches Fire At Diddy Listening Party

Diddy's new album is HOT!

Note to self: don’t catch fire at a Diddy listening party unless near water. The impresario threw a fete for his upcoming Last Train For Paris album at the London NYC hotel with artists like Trey Songz, Fabolous and Usher showing up to hear the final product and ogle the many half-dressed ladies who attended. The shindig’s live-stream was even hotter than expected, with a bathing beauty leaning a little too close to some candles and setting her hair on fire. Though host Kevin Hart later claimed the attendees “put it out as quickly as we could,” the video shows everyone leaping away from the tub as the woman flailed, with Hart shrieking “Did the camera catch that? Did the camera catch that?” Thankfully, the model was already in a tub of water, and didn’t need the assistance of her less-than-chivalrous partymates.

Diddy Sued: Mo Money Mo Problems

diddymain

Diddy he or Diddyn’t he discriminate? That is the question, and it’s now up to the courts to decide, as P Diddy is being sued for $12 million by an ex Bad Boy label employee claiming discrimination.

As always there are two sides to the story. The law-suit happy side has Francesca Spero suing bad boy Sean Combs (Puffy, Puff, Diddy and whatever else we’ve missed) for firing her based on that fact that she was old and disabled.

She’s stating that she worked with the company from 1998 and was doing her job as a high-flying executive very well. Apparently she needed urgent hip surgery in 2008. Unfortunately she then “suffered a relapse” with prescription meds and alcohol addictions. She claims Diddy was ”unsympathetic to her condition” which led to him giving her the axe. And to add insult to injury she was the replaced by a much younger woman, who Spero claims ”lacked the skill set and experience Spero brought to the position.” Sour grapes, or serious stuff?

Diddy’s side has a spokesperson giving his view straight-up, stating, “This is a grab for money by someone who concedes in her complaint to having had a drug relapse while on the job and an employer who was not satisfied with her work.” Ouch. About the discrimination claims, it was added that, “There are many reasons why Ms. Spero is no longer employed by Bad Boy, but age discrimination is not one of them.”

Question is…which side do you believe?

Rap’s Top 20 Richest Artists Revealed

rich-rappers-550

First things first: Do people still say the word “bling”? Or is that term a relic of a bygone era? Either way, it’s no secret that there is a lot of money to be made by becoming a global hip-hop icon these days. So much so, in fact, that a normally hoity-toity magazine like Forbes has been putting together lists of the Top 20 Hip-Hop Cash Kings since 2007. To that end, the high-falutin’ magazine is putting its fawning coverage of Wall Street robber barons in a temporary holding pattern as they focus their efforts on counting down which rappers are making the most cheddar in 2010.

While you most certainly won’t be surprised to find out that Jay-Z currently holds the title as hip-hop’s wealthiest mogul — he raked in some $63 million last year, no big whoops — you might be surprised when you hear that Lil Wayne places fourth on the list, this despite the fact that he’s been behind bars since March. Hilariously, Weezy’s actually on track to earn more money this year ($20 million) than he did last year ($18 million).

Check out our gallery below to find out who else made the list (and how much they took home). Only one question remains: If hip-hop’s wealthiest don’t spend money on “bling” anymore, what do they spend it on?

Diddy’s Got Mo Money, Mo Problems

60909962

Oh, Diddy of the changing names, just like Prince. Will you become a symbol too? There happens to be a particular symbol chasing you around. Perhaps you’re familiar with it – it looks like this, “$.” Now put together about a million of those symbols and perhaps David Frankel will stop hunting you down.

Frankel, who? Frankel the finance commissioner of New York City, that’s who. And he’s looking for you! Diddy needs to write a big fat check to NYC for defacing the city with numerous promo-posters. And his tab for the illegal activity has topped off at $996,000.

Sean John‘s got company too. There’s a whole host of people that need to pay up for all their illegal promotion and together, they owe the city a whopping $1.9 billion. Yikes. Says Frankel, “We are going to find these people. We’re going to turn them upside down by their ankles and we’re going to shake them until the money comes out of their pockets.”

Hm. Seems like the more money Diddy comes across, the more problems he sees, eh?
