Sean Combs is sticking with Diddy.

At least for now.

A rep for the hip-hop mogul said that rumors of Diddy going back to Puffy are "completely untrue."

It was previously reported at an art book launch in L.A. that Diddy would switch to his oldest nickname.

Diddy was

And no one is happy with him. No one.

A kid like Astro … he's got a lot of talent, but it sounds like he still has a lot of growing up to do. After he pulled some major tude last night when he fell into the bottom two, we got sent a story about his blatant disregard for the rules of the show and how the producers are NOT happy with him.

A source reports to PerezHilton.com EXCLUSIVELY that Astro consciously ignored the show's people when they told him he couldn't wear a pair of Dr Dre's Beats headphones around his neck during his performance this week. For whatever the reason - licensing, no affiliation wit Dr. Dre, etc. - the producers warned him not to disobey them, that it would cost them a lot of time and money if he did.

Yet he did it anyways!

As you can see in the video (above), because they didn't have the rights to the headphones, they had to blurred out. However, they were only able to do that AFTER the fact, since the show went up live. Who knows the repercussions they face from Dre. and his brand people now.

Show insiders add he's been VERY difficult to deal with the last couple of weeks, showing a lack of respect for staff and the rules.

Not cool little dude. You are NOT a star yet and these kind of antics will ensure that you never become one.

One night only! One night only! That's all they have to spare!

From 1988 through 1995, there was a show on MTV that literally launched the careers of some of the biggest names in rap music. Ice-T, N.W.A., A Tribe Called Quest and Public Enemy were among those who got their start on Yo! MTV Raps! and now, a new generation is going to get their shot on the show!

For one night only (has that sunk in yet?), MTV2 will air a special reboot of the show following their first ever Sucker Free Awards. At the stroke of midnight, for a solid thirty minutes, Yo! MTV Raps Classic Cuts will pay tributes to three hip-hop classics: A Tribe Called Quest's "Scenario," Geto Boys' "My Mind's Playing Tricks on Me," and Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day." ("Good Day" just happens to mention "Yo! MTV Raps" by name.)

Now, here is the real draw:

There he is! We've been wondering what he's been up to!

Eminem was spotted on the set of the music video for Dr. Dre's second single from Detox, I Need A Doctor, in El Lay yesterday (above) and we have to admit, we still kind of LOVE that his pants are still falling down his ass!

Glad that some things never change, bb!

Hope the shoot went well!

Uh, oh!

Dr. Dre is being sued for $1.2 million by Paramount Recording Studios for allegedly failing to pay for studio time!

The lawsuit claims that he didn't pay for the use of a recording studio between April 2009 and June 2010 and that he promised to pay the amount by July 13 2010, but he didn't do that, either!

Get it together, Dre!

We have a feeling that Julia Roberts isn't going to like this so much.

Eric Roberts has joined the cast of Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab for the upcoming season. The Z list relative of an A-lister will be rooming with recently ridiculous start Jeremy London at the Pasadena Recovery Center.

Not surprisingly, Jeremy is thrilled to have one of the more unstable and recognizable stars as his roomie:

“Eric Roberts is my roommate and is simply amazing. He’s an incredible person. Dr. Drew rocks and there is real healing here."

We'll all have to wait till October to see how well this "healing" is going, but for now, we're more surprised that Dr. Drew is letting you do interviews while you are suppose to be sobering up.

Isn't that somewhat against the process?

T.I. flavored liquor?

Well, Ludacris and Diddy did it - why not!

The rapper is apparently the latest to use his finely-tuned palette - in conjunction with Remy Martin bosses - to launch a T.I. signature blend cognac!

And if that's not enough to fill your booze cabinet, Dr. Dre is set to release HIS own cognac AND sparkling vodka, too!

Collecting rapper-brand booze is going to be like Pokémon cards soon! We'll trade you a Dr. Dre for a Diddy!

LOLs!

Thoughts??
