that is the relationship between P. Diddy and Farnsworth Bentley? Has he not see OutKast's The Way You Move? Or even the Chappelle Show spoof of Making The Band?

MTV Video Music Awards 2004: Miami is Boring
Hey Ya! won four awards; there was a day when Gothamist didn't think we could get tired of Hey Ya! by Outkast, but it seems that day came like two or three months ago. We're sad that Jay-Z's incredibly beautiful and brutal video 99 Problems won most of its awards in the pre-show; directed by Mark Romanek, it shows Jay-Z in Brooklyn with a motley cast of supporting character, in a last hurrah of sorts. See the video on Romanek's site here. And our other Larry-King-in-USA-Today type thoughts:
Ask Farnsworth
Farnsworth Bentley's umbrellas will be sold online at mr-bentley.com this spring.
Diddy Does Broadway
Read A Raisin in the Sun. And the PD won a New York Award this year from NY magazine, seemingly in part because of his Bad Boys 2 soundtrack...um, whatever!
Diddy Did It
P. Diddy managed to make good on his desire to complete the ING NYC Marathon in under 4 hours yesterday. An impressive job, considering that he has only been training for eight weeks (people train for months, if not a year) and the Times reports that his legs seized at mile 12 and that his sports physician says "he's hurting right now" (but he made his post-marathon press conference, of course). Also in the Times coverage of Diddy's running of the city: "[S]everal runners also had signs on their T-shirts — 'Where is P-Diddy?' and 'I want to beat P-Diddy.'" Diddy tells the Post today that the fundraising was not a publicity stunt and that he won't be back next year.
