diddypromo3Yesterday, Diddy and Dirty Money honey Dawn Richard stopped by Miami’s Y100 and The Beat radio stations at Clear Channel’s headquarters to promote his Last Train to Paris and to talk about himself of course! Hmm…where’s the other chick from Dirty Money? Earlier this week, the mogul made an appearance on the Home Shopping Network in which his fragrance collection sold out in 15 minutes, thus breaking the channel’s selling record!  Take that, take that Martha Stewart!

Hip-hop pioneer LL Cool J is set to host “The Grammy Nominations Concert Live: Countdown to Music’s Biggest Night”, a one-hour special which will take place at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. Looks like bosses over at the Grammy Awards are definitely taking heed to the good ole’ saying “if ain’t broke, don’t fix it” ’cause tomorrow night will mark the second annual live primetime nominations for the Grammy Awards. Last year’s airing did so well that bosses over at the Grammy Awards decided to take a shot at it again this year! This year’s presenters include Linkin Park, George Lopez, T-Pain, Smokey Robinson, Katy Perry and a bunch of other celebs. “Sexy B*tch” hitmaker David Guetta is set to spin tunes throughout the special, which also features performances by Black Eyed Peas, Maxwell and much more.  “The Countdown to Music’s Biggest Night” begins tomorrow night, Wednesday, December 2nd on CBS at 9 p.m.

The clock stops ticking on January 31, 2010, as the 52nd annual Grammy Awards will take place at the Staples Center in L.A. and will air live on CBS at 8 pm.

So last night the boo and I were chillen’ in my crib and while he’s on the laptop, I was in the kitchen cooking up a delish meal. He starts blasting this joint and shouts “Babe, you feelin’ this joint?” I stop in my tracks, take a listen, and ask “Is that Maxwell?” He laughingly replies back “Yeah…nah, but it sounds like him, right?” I was like “YES!!” Turns out its this dude Novel and his new joint “F*ck With My Mind” co-starring Shade 45’s Angela Yee. “F*** With My Mind” was featured on Three21Media & The Kickdrums Inside A Change mixtape.

Sidenote: Will female bloggers be the next video chicks? Shouts to Angela Yee, radio VJ!
