There hasn't been a blog entry on Cassie's blog since July, but according to a new entry, she's back into it:
I�ve had the ride of my life, all for it to result in opening up my eyes wider than I had them before. Really digging in and seeing what makes people move, what makes them react to other people. I�M BACK ON THE INTERNET. Right where I started, to vent and share the good and bad experiences to you, as I start over. You bought my album and supported me all of the way, I owe it to you. Here�s to Old�.New Beginnings.
Welcome back.
Danity Kane is on AOL sessions. They preform "Show Stopper" with Diddy performing his verse and ad libbing on the track, "Ride For You" and "Want It".
There is also an interview, some video Q&A; and photos from the performance.

Termanology has released what seems to be a bit of a Diddy tribute song with Termanology saying "What's up, rap world? I figured I'd take this opportunity to look outside of myself and say, what would I say if I was Diddy?" He then raps:
9-1, Heavy D
9-2, Mary J.
No more Uptown
Bad Boy on the way
9-3, 9-4, B.I.G.'s in the door
9-5, makin' hits, Junior M.A.F.I.A. clique
Craig Mack, Flava in Ya Ear, don't stop there
Lil' Kim, posin' in the panties in the brassiere
Sing Biggie, Biggie, gimme one more chance
Biggie, Biggie, gimme one more chance, oh, man
Fly chicks, rollin' in fly whips
9-6, Bad Boy invented the remix
These hits got the whole world lovin' my clique
They lovin' the sound
The whole world hittin' my hip
9-7, Big passed and he went up to heaven
Only on his second album, he already a legend
Man, I wish Big coulda seen the world in 0-7
Matter of fact, sometimes I wish I just died with him
I miss him
At the start of the track, Kanye raps "They claim Puff dead, I'm out the tomb then..."
It's a neat track.

Here are some press release quotes from Diddy and Block on renewing the deal:
In making the announcement, Sean "Diddy" Combs said: "As we have continued to expand the musical scope of Bad Boy, we knew we had to be plugged into the creative and vibrant Southern scene. When Block and I first met, I realized he had an ear for the streets of the South and that he would be the perfect person to be our partner in developing and breaking new talent. The success of Boyz N Da Hood and Yung Joc proves that our instincts were right, and there is much more fantastic music in the pipeline from the Block/Bad Boy South team. I am thrilled that we have renewed our commitment to this great relationship."
Russell "Block" Spencer commented: "As the South market grew, Diddy and Bad Boy realized they needed to be involved. I was looking to take the music we make in the South to another level, and the collaboration between Block Enterprises and Bad Boy South was the perfect avenue for both of our companies. Look at the success we have already attained. When the machine is working successfully, you don't look to fix it, but to add to it to make it better. The renewal of our deal is going to make the Block/Bad Boy South partnership even bigger."
Bad Boy Executive VP and General Manager Harve Pierre commented: "Our joint venture with Block Enterprises has given us the opportunity to reach out to a broader audience base as we move forward with the evolution and re-invention of Bad Boy. Looking back to when we first started with a handful of people in 1992 and fast forwarding to 2006, we have truly grown as a label, family, and industry. We now have the manpower to get more done in less time. After seeing the success of Boyz N Da Hood and Yung Joc on their debut albums, I can say with conviction that this is the continuation of a beautiful relationship."

From BallerStatus.net:
Sean "Diddy" Combs and Russell "Block" Spencer announced today that they have renewed their successful joint venture between Bad Boy South and Block Enterprises.
TMZ.com has a clip. Diddy arrives at on Tyra via helicopter, walking from the roof to the set with stops with fans as well as 3 servants (one with a mic, one with water, one with cologne). Good show.
From the Dream MySpace:
To date, the girls talk about re uniting, but maybe it all was just a dream...
The girls from Dream are talking about a come back. Not a heck of a lot is known, but I'll relay what I've been told about the situation.
It sounds like something they want to do. They being the original 4 members of the group (Melissa, not Kasey). But, there is a big difference between wanting to do something and actually doing it. It remains to be seen if they are ready to get down to business and put in the work and effort it's going to take for them to prove that people are still interested in Dream and that they still have marketable value. Also, with the way they (probably more specifically: Holly and/or Melissa) abruptly exited last time with an album on tap and a single at radio, they probably have some respect and trust that has to be earned back.
In other words: are they ready to work and are their minds in the right place? They'll have to be.
The idea of a comeback starts with the poll to gauge interest in their second album. They have also been asked to come up with a tour schedule, so that they can do a few shows and see if anyone shows up, more or less. If those two things work in their favor, they could be back together to work on a third album. That could be with Bad Boy - or it could be with another label as their rights could be sold. But, in either case, it's safe to say that that is a way's off. They have their work cut out for them, but I'll post information as it becomes available.
Holly's MySpace has a couple of interesting things. It has a picture of a supposed "Reality" cover with the words "support 4 our comeback" as well as a blog entry asking "who would like a ( DREAM ) world tour reunion"?
And that's the question. Who would? Demand dictates everything because demand means money. If they truly want it, if they can re-capture at least some of the fan base that they left and reach new fans, they'll be back.
There is a poll up on the Dream MySpace. It has this description:
Please vote if you want to buy Dream's 2nd Unreleased album REALITY for $9.99. 14 songs plus interludes. Songs featuring Diddy, Fabulous, Loon. Music by Diddy, Scott Storch, Rodney Jerkins... It's the best DREAM album yet...
MySpace bulletins have been sent out basically saying that a poll could help Diddy decide to release the album digitally in the U.S. Up until this point, it has only been available on Virgin's French site. If you don't have a credit card in France or something like that, you are out of luck. So, if you want them to release it, head over there and vote.
As I write, there are 174 votes. It's safe to say that they are looking for a number much larger than this. But, every vote counts, so again, if you want them to release it, get yours in. I have a couple of tracks off the album ("That's OK" featuring Fabolous and Diddy and "Crazy" featuring Loon) and I like both of them. You can listen to snippets at the VirginMega.fr site, as well.
I'm trying to get some credits for the album and, if I do, I'll be sure to post them.
Bad Boy's chart presence on the latest edition of The Billboard Hot 100:

59. "I Know You See It" by Yung Joc (down from #44).
