A statement issued by Sean’ Diddy’ Combs’ rep has confirmed that the Hip Hop mogul and partner Kim Porter have indeed ended their relationship. The confirmation comes after much speculation as to the status of the on-off couple. Recent rumours have linked Diddy with a host of other females, most notably actress Sienna Miller. However the statement denies any romantic link between the two – dismissing it as ‘literally nothing’. Porter and Combs have three children together, the most recent being twin daughters D’Lila Star and Jessie James – who were born in December last year. {Click here to read the full story}

I can’t say I didn’t see this coming. Weird as it may sound, I think Kim is the one to blame – she should have known better. Diddy dumped her like she was yesterday’s garbage for J.Lo in 1999, yet even after they reconciled and had the twins, he insisted he wasn’t ready to marry her. Still, she insisted on proclaiming his love for her; I remember reading a recent interview of hers and marvelling at how dumb she came across. A shame.

What do you think of their break-up?

As Twista preps the release of his new album ‘Adrenaline Rush 2007’, the video for the set’s lead single ‘Give It Up’ has premiered. I instantly liked the track upon first listen and the video turned out great too. Directed by Hype Williams, the vid has all the makings of the standard Hip Hop video, yet I’m feeling the whole pop art inspirations the video has. ‘Adrenaline Rush 2007’ is set to hit stores September 18th.

A pyrotechnics mishap left two fans injured at a Beyonce concert in St. Louis this past Sunday night. The accident occured when raining pyro -part of the spectacle of the singer’s entrance – spread into the front row of the audience. Having been taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of their minor injuries, the fans were surprised with an emergency room visit by none other than the ‘Crazy In Love’ singer herself, who spent around 45 minutes with them. {Source}

A genuine sign of concern or the prevention of a potential lawsuit?

Choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson appears to be cashing in on her ‘Making The Band’ fame by launching her own reality show. The show is being shopped around to different networks at present. In this trailer for the pilot episode, the concept is revealed: she wants to be a singer and is recording an album. This has to be a joke, right? If not, this pretty much confirms that the whole ‘Diddy incident’ a few months back was a publicity stunt. Ridiculous.

Kelly Rowland stopped by BET’s 106 & Park on Friday to promote her new CD ‘Ms. Kelly’. The interview, recorded live in New Orleans, was pretty interesting. As well as her album, Kelly discussed her BET Awards performance and some of her embarrassing moments. Liking the little acapella version of ‘Like This’ she did at the end..the crowd was loving it. ‘Ms Kelly’ is out now.
