Sean Combs is giving up the gangsta rap route. He�s getting romantic. And, though I�m not sure he even knows it himself, he�s going R&B.; ...

But the good news is that Combs� voice is not half bad. This is where he's a most remarkable fellow. He will run the New York Marathon or make a dramatic debut on Broadway. He seems fearless, and loves a challenge. ...

"Press Play," like Combs� other albums, is a collaborative work. He brought in producer/writers like Kanye West, Will.i.am, Timbaland, Pharrell, Combs� pal Mario Winans, Rich Harrison, and others to create a sequence of melody-based songs about the pain and fun of being in love. ...

Of course, there are guest-star vocalists. Tracks I heard featured Brandy, Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige, Big Boi from Outkast, Ciara, Nas, Keyshia Cole, and Nicole Scherzinger from The Pussycat Dolls. Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas is on another track, I was told. Mario Winans is heard throughout, supplying instrumental riffs.

As soon as these things start, they are over. Somebody close to Diddy and Kim Porter has issued a statement that they aren't getting married. I guess we'll have to assume that they are happily unmarried like Gene Simmons and his babe. That's better than being married and miserable, right? Anyway, Hip-Hop Wives on the E! Channel last night was a real revelation! (By the way, Kim is the mother of one of Diddy's children, not two as I said Friday.)

For the past year and a half, Diddy has been working with everyone from Kanye West, Pharrell, Will.I.Am, Mobb Deep's Havoc and Pharoahe Monch. The first single is a toss-up between "Touch Me," featuring Christina Aguilera, and "Come to Me," featuring Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls on the hook.

Hip-hop wives have glamour, attitude and complete power.

... Kim Porter speaks about her love of bling and husband P. Diddy. ...

Well, the rumors are starting to pick up steam about Diddy and his longtime girlfriend/model Kim Porter. I heard that the pair could be looking to get married in the near future. I'm hearing that Diddy has been conferring with another rap mogul who seems to feel its time to settle down and seal the deal. LOL! As most of you know, Ms. Porter is the mother of two of Diddy's children. If It's true, its great and if it�s not...well, it�s still all good.

After the party, I went over to the Beverly Hills Hotel, where Prince had a late-night party. It was incredible. There is nothing like seeing Prince live, and especially in a setting like a small party. The scene was crazy becuase even the biggest stars want to see Prince: Chaka Khan, SNOOP, JAMIE FOXX, Diddy and lots of others. At one point, Prince was joined by DOUG E. FRESH on stage while Diddy danced around the dancefloor with a tambourine -- it was surreal. It was, simply put, the best way to end an amazing night!

Sean Combs is probably laughing at me right now. He told me he wouldn�t stop, and instead of believing him, I pretty much cringed at his tenacity. ...

The Bad Boy hitmaking machine has been reinvigorated, and people like me are eating crow.
