On a track Rich Boy track called "Drop," ( listen at XXLmag.com) Polow Da Don says:
Me, myself and Mr. Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, we gonna pay somebody's mortgage in 2009. For the whole year. Go to Zone4Inc.com to register to win or pay attention to Diddy blogs.
As of now there is no mention of this on Zone4Inc.com, though there is a sweepstakes offering the chance to have Polow Da Don pay your rent for a year.

MTV has announced that Diddy will be appearing on the 2 hour long final episode of Total Request Live (TRL), airing November 16 at 8 PM ET.
The Hollywood Reporter has a short story on a new show on E! called "Party Monsters: Cabo."
The cable network has greenlighted a reality competition, "Party Monsters: Cabo," that will feature nine party planners heading to an oceanfront to see who can throw the "ultimate party" for Hollywood celebrities including P. Diddy, Carmen Electra, Brody Jenner and Lil Jon.
As a follow up to the open letter from earlier this month, Diddy, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige and Kevin Liles have issued a second, which is quoted below.
It ain't over, until it's over. There is still so much work to be done. The thrill of victory is just 1 week away. We hear it in the streets, we feel it in our hearts and it's burning in our souls. Together we have successfully registered the most young voters in the history of the modern political process. We called a State Of Emergency on October 3rd at 6:00AM and our culture stood up and recognized the importance of registering millions of voters. From 1st time voters who have just come of age to vote, to those who are participating for the 1st time in the voting process. Your commitment to Change will continue to ring across our America, because we all are in the Right State Of Mind
Where it stands today, we are on the verge of making history, the kind of history that will be apart of our cultures legacy. The kind of history that bridges the gap between race, religion and culture, the kind of history that will ignite a light that shines bright from generation to generation, screaming that our voice does matter and our vote does count. The kind of history that will enable the next generation of leaders to encourage vision, not division, to encourage hope, not hopelessness, to encourage the power of the people, not the power politics of the few.
With only 7 days left before we vote for change, let's hold ourselves accountable and responsible. No more excuses, no more mistakes and no more time to waste. If you have the opportunity to vote early in your state then vote today. If you are voting on November 4th, make preparation today. Bring your family and friends and plan for the party at the poles. Make November 4th the day we celebrate change - The day we celebrate freedom of choice. The day we celebrate power of all people. Lets all come together on November 4th, because it's a family reunion. It's our time and we are all in the Right State Of Mind.
We have 7 days to Vote for Change. 7 days to Vote to Make History. We can not slow down. We can not let up. We must push through to history until the final vote is cast and the last ballot is counted. We can, we must, and we will Make It Happen. Vote Obama/Biden on November 4th.
God Bless,
Diddy

AllHipHop.com has quotes from InTouch Weekly where Diddy reveals that his next album is "electro Hip-Hop soul."
“It’s electro Hip-Hop soul,” Diddy told InTouch Weekly about the unnamed project. “T-Pain gave me permission to use the vocoder, the Auto-Tune, and he showed me various tricks that nobody knows but him and myself.”
I am definitely looking forward to this.

From MTV News:
Williams is working with a lot of artists he can talk about right now. We were in the studio with him recently in Atlanta and had a sneak preview of some beats he did for Diddy and the Clipse. One Puff track that really stuck out has the potential to be huge if Diddy does it right.
"Puff's album is crazy," Williams promised. "Y'all should know that. It's pretty serious. It's innovative.
Jay Cridlin of the St. Petersberg Times has the story on Diddy's planned hosting of a three night party for this year's Super Bowl, which is being held in Tampa, Florida.
Winky Wright knew he wanted to host a glamorous Super Bowl party when the game came to Tampa. He also knew he wanted to show a little love to St. Petersburg, the city he calls home.
Then he got Diddy. And that's when things went nuts.
"You have to get the talent first," said Wright, perched on a plush couch in the Venue in Clearwater, site of "The Good Life Experience," a three-night party he's hosting alongside Sean "Diddy" Combs and Deion Sanders from Jan. 29 to 31. "And when we knew that we had Diddy, all the other doors just opened up. Now we can come to different people and say, 'Look, this is what we've got. We've got Diddy, we've got Winky, we've got Deion, and this is what we plan on doing.' People listen now."
From the press release:
Sean "Diddy" Combs appears on the October cover for L'Uomo Vogue's Music Issue. In this story Mr. Combs talks enthusiastically about the upcoming presidential election, the importance of voting, his many successful businesses and the evolution of inspiration in creating music. Famed photographer, Mark Seliger, shot Mr. Combs in a variety of styles from a variety of designers including Tom Ford, Roberto Cavalli, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren Black Label and Sean John, among others.
Sean "Diddy" Combs said, "The concept of "Black on Black" in this story represents a level of strength, a level of beauty, a level of sexy and chic that I really want to portray. It's the future. And it's not just a race thing; it's almost a redefinition of the color. Think about how ignorant people actually make the color black represent something negative. Black is so beautiful, I see it in everything I am, as a person, as a man, as a fashion professional. Black is beautiful."
The Calgary Herald reports on a study released by Washington State University on Tuesday, which concluded that efforts by celebrities to get young people to the polls have been successful.
The study, based on a survey of 305 students at the university, contrasted a number of other polls that indicate celebrity endorsements of presidential candidates are unlikely to sway votes.
The October/November issue of Baby Couture features a photo spread with Diddy, Kim Porter and the twins.
OK! Magazine reports on Diddy's latest public service announcement, urging the responsible consumption of alcohol.
"Instead of doing a regular PSA saying, 'Hi, I'm Sean Combs and I'm here to talk to you for Ciroc,' I actually shot a scene from a movie, what happens when the music stops and two young ladies leave early because they're feeling a little tired."
In the last 24 hours or so, there have been some reports that Diddy had his arm in a sling - with the pictures to prove it, such as the one above. There's a little bit of wild speculation going on, which is what usually happens, but I asked Diddy's publicist for comment. Here's the official response:
"He had surgery last week to correct a shoulder injury (a torn rotator cuff) that initially occurred a couple years ago, but had been bothering him recently."
Here is an open letter from Diddy, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige and Kevin Liles. As always, please note that political discussion is not allowed here at Bad Boy Blog, in our comments section. Thank you.
