A reader sent over this photo of what appears to be Diddy's sweet ride, complete with a red carpet so the diamonds on the sole's of his shoes don't touch the dirty concrete of New York City. The tipster tells us: more ›

Do not mess with Diddy's store frontage: The company behind the rap impresario-vodka shiller's Sean John clothing line is suing its landlord at 475 Fifth Avenue over scaffolding that has been up since 2006. more ›

People tend to buy faux fur because it's not only less expensive but also more humane. But what happens when the faux fur is actually the fur of dogs? Macy's has yanked certain Sean John coats whose faux fur is actually "raccoon dog" fur. The Humane Society actually tests the fur on fur-trimmed clothing from many different brands and retailers and has found the faux fur to be real fur - check out this list! In the case of the Sean John coat, the label said "imitation rabbit fur collar," but it was actually from a dog. Guh. more ›

Blame it on Diddy. Crain's reports that after Sean "P. Diddy" Combs opened his Sean John store at Fifth Avenue and 41st Street, building owners have been looking to make that stretch of Fifth more upscale (more than the Best Buy) and the owners of 500 Fifth Avenue is "forcing out" tenants, such as tobacconist to the world Nat Sherman. The owners are hoping to get a luxury retailer to pay $425 per square foot (pricey, but probably much less than whatever they pay on Fifth in the 50s or 60s). Anyway, we almost can't imagine Nat Sherman at that corner. Nat Sherman told Crain's they "are close to signing a lease at 12 E. 42nd Street," because their "roots are in this neighboorhood." more ›

been singing extremely off-key lately.) But now it seems like it's safer that we don't have a Bad Boy lifestyle - last night, at a party the former Puff Daddy had for a posthumous Biggie Smalls album, three people were shot and three other people were stabbed. Yup - the police found three men bleeding at a parking garage across from Club Exit, where the party was being held, and then a 911 call alerted them to the fact that three men were stabbed in the Club Exit's VIP lounge. It's unclear why the shootings occured, though the police did see a car with a bullet hole leaving the scene. And the stabbings seem to be motivated by a partygoer upset that he lost "a flashy bracelet." Ah, "flashy bracelet" - the third reason for club violence, after "Skank ho poured beer on my weave" and "What are you doing with my man/woman?" And P. Diddy was only at the club for fifteen minutes, none of them during the crimes (and neither was Shyne!). All six men are recovering at area hospitals.

Mayor Bloomberg, don't just hold the jersey, wear it! You should go to the Atlantic Avenue mall and buy yourself some Enyce sweats, Pumas, and a Sean John hat and let it ride. Just ask Jay-Z for help; we're sure that he'd be happy to take you shopping. Maybe Beyonce could help you pick out some eye creams. more ›

Bad news for Diddy in the second of the Post's Diddy Diaries. He tried to get the word out to America's youth about his marathon running for charity, byjogging on a treadmill during MTV TRL. But he's really not supposed to jog on a treadmill, and now there is some mad damage to his knee what with all the training he's been doing, yo. Call us cynical, but with all his connections wouldn't he have been alerted to this sooner? And shouldn't a personal trainer have been absorbed into the organism that is his posse? Gothamist hopes we're not being set up for the possibility of him not completing the 26.2 miles. more ›

Are pigs flying? P.Diddy has entered the New York...wait, the ING New York City Marathon! The Post says that P.Diddy is looking raise money for a number of causes, including NYC school kids, an pediatric AIDS charity, and his own organization that mentors children (no, not Making the Band). The Diddy's sponsors include Nike, McDonald's, Foot Locker, MTV, Pinnacle Vitamins and Yucaipa book publishing, and while he did meet with Schools Chancellor Joel Klein and the Mayor, they will not be in attendance at P.Diddy's Niketown press conference. more ›

Sean John, the clothing line rap impressario P. Diddy/Puff Daddy/Sean Combs/that guy everywhere samplin' everything, may be getting its own stores. The Post notes that the Diddy may have secured financing for 10 retail stores, including a flagship in Manhattan, while PD's music career is not what it used to be. Maybe it's because PD is so ubiquitous - Gothamist can't remember an episode of Entertainment Tonight or MTV video where he's not present. The spectre of P. Diddy looms large. more ›
