So, Diddy talks about gas prices pushing him to leave the private plane in the hangar (see video below, warning: explicit content) and the world notices. The AP, Fox News and countless sources pick it up. When he spoke about the art of the viral video in the last episode of "I Want to Work for Diddy," he wasn't kidding.

Dream Hampton of UptownLife.net has a fashion centric interview with Diddy.
You�ve talked about assisting your grandmother, who was a master tailor, when you were growing up. What influence did she have on your fashion sense?
My grandmother helped me to understand attention to detail, how important fit is, how certain fabrics lie, what it means to finish a piece�from the button to the lining�and how a final piece should be presented. She had an enormous impact on my style and consequently on Sean John.
After he jumped down the throat of MTV News' James Montgomery during a taping of FNMTV, Diddy came back on the show and apologized to him last week, complete with flowers.
Today, Montgomery describes the moment, from his perspective.
Best "Holy God, I Thought I Was Going To Crap My Pants" Moment
Diddy surprises me onstage with flowers. I'm not going to lie, after our run-in during episode eight (you know, where he bum-rushed the sky box, shouted at me and then kissed me on the cheek, "Godfather"-style) and the subsequent, smarmy-a** column I wrote about the entire incident, I was super worried that on last week's finale, Diddy was going to show up, beat me over the head with something, then dump my body in the Hudson. And when he popped up onstage while I was talking about the new Cassie video, I think my entire life flashed before my eyes. Only, he just wanted to apologize and give me a bouquet of flowers. Which was seriously one of the 10 greatest moments of my entire life. Honestly.
Courtney Hazlett of MSNBC discusses Diddy's anticipated absence from the Democratic National Convention, which started Monday and will run through Thursday.
Here in Denver, there was some chatter among DNC organizers that led some to believe that Diddy had been asked specifically not to come.
�That�s completely untrue� was Diddy�s response when asked about being un-invited to the convention. A rep for Diddy confirms: �An Obama advisor invited Diddy to the convention, but he was unable to attend because he was supposed to be in L.A. on vacation with his family.�
Jotham Sederstrom of the New York Daily News reports that, during a traffic stop early Saturday morning, a Los Angeles deputy briefly pulled his gun on Diddy's party, which included Diddy himself. Spokespeople for both the sheriff's department and Diddy confirmed the incident.
The reason for the stop was expired tags. A source said that a member of the group became uncooperative, which led a half dozen others, including Diddy, to approach the deputy. The sheriff's department spokesman stated that, "The situation was deflated as quickly as it began." Meanwhile, Diddy's publicist, Keesha Johnson, mentioned that the weapon was never aimed directly at her client and was careful to say that the officers were "really respectful."
After Cassie's "Official Girl" premiered on FNMTV, Pete Wentz sent it up to the judges table, as they always do. You'll remember that, last time they judged a Bad Boy video, Diddy ran up to the table and gave James Montgomery, the resident critic, a lot of grief about his often harsh criticisms of videos on the show.
After guest judge LL Cool J chipped in his thoughts, it was Montgomery's turn. And, once again, Diddy was there. But, this time, he had flowers for Montgomery, as well as an apology, which was repeated in semi-robotic fashion.
I just wanted to say that, maybe, maybe I didn't handle the criticisms like a professional record executive. But, I do respect your opinion as a music lover. And would you please forgive me?
Judges table host Tim Kash implored Montgomery to forgive and hug. "Of course! I appreciate it, that's very nice," Montgomery said. Montgomery seemed to geniunely appreciate the gesture, saying he felt like Miss America.
With that out of the way, Montgomery praised the video. "She had sort of a rough start getting out of the gate. But, you know, here she is now. She's got that swagger. She looks good, she sounds good, and she's got something to say. Legitimately, cool video. And I'm not just saying that because I got flowers, either.
On tonight's premiere of Making the Band 4, Diddy confirmed that he has a new album on the way. He said that the release date would be coming later.
Forbes has released the 2008 edition of their Hip-Hop's Cash Kings. Diddy held onto the third spot, taking in an estimated $35 million. The top 2 spots remained the same, as well, with Jay-Z ($82 million) and 50 Cent ($150 million).
Diddy's number is $7 million dollars higher than last year's figure.
Watch below for Diddy talking about a new weekly web show coming to his YouTube channel called P.A. TV. It's producer by his former personal assistant, T. Popps.
One of my all time favorite videos, Diddy's dancing is classic!
New York Magazine has a couple of short features on DIddy: one discussing employment and another about the Olympics, both in good fun.

If you watched Friday's FNMTV premiere of Donnie Klang's video for "Take You Here," featuring Diddy, you know that Diddy ran up to the judges table to give MTV News' James Montgomery, the show's resident critic, some grief. Before Montgomery started, Diddy gave him a little bit of the evil eye, if you will, and said "Hi Hater," quoting from Maino's single, which samples the "Be Happy" remix that Diddy did for Mary J. Blige, back in the day.
Montgomery began to say how, with the audience reaction (which was strong), you never know, but for him, there was nothing new in the video. Diddy cut in and asked him who he was and how many hit records does he have? Before leaving the scene, Diddy planted a kiss on Montgomery's cheek. I thought it was questionable (read: rude) of Diddy, certainly, but this is TV and, well, Montgomery's a target for this sort of thing, I guess.
Montgomery writes about the incident at the MTV Newsroom blog, noting that, "... I think he was more �TV mad� (i.e. �acting�) than he was actually upset." That makes sense. It's TV.
All of that said, I thought the video was pretty cool.
From The Guardian:
Roberto Cavalli has a lot of love to give. It spills out of him indiscriminately like an overflowing fountain. As he walks through the rooms of his sprawling Tuscan villa, a paean to the decorative qualities of animal fur and trailing purple orchids, it is difficult to find anything that does not provoke a new burst of passion. ...
'There are thousands of models like all the other thousands of models. Naomi Campbell is the same way. For me, models are just pieces of wood that I carve to make clothes look beautiful.' He admits that he prefers to spend his time hanging out with music stars - he counts Victoria Beckham and P Diddy as close friends. 'Oh Puffy!' he says, before launching into a long anecdote involving a party on board P Diddy's yacht in St Tropez. 'He has such a big heart. He is so sweet.'
