UCLA awarded Justin Combs, son of hip hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs who's reportedly worth nearly a half billion dollars, a full athletic scholarship to play football for the Bruins this fall. more ›

Usually a statement like "he's got more jobs than names" wouldn't be impressive at all, but the man whose birth certificate reads "Sean Combs" has had a lot of names. He's been called Sean "Puffy" Combs, Puff, Puff Daddy, Puffy, P. Diddy and Diddy. After spending an afternoon with the mogul of many monikers, I thought of another name for him -- Santa Claus. more ›

Large swaths of red-blooded American males have been waiting for this moment since March of 2000 (NSFW) and today that moment finally arrives -- Jessica Biel is nekkid in a movie (unbelievably NSFW)! Of course, by all accounts Powder Blue is a terrible film, but why let something like that stop you from buying it, right? It surely can't be any worse than the week's "big" release, New in Town. What has happened to Renee Zellweger? Not every notable 70s movie was actually good. Zabriskie Point will make you laugh but not in a good way. Forever Strong has two things going for it: it's about rugby and it stars the amazing Gary Cole. more ›

My Bloody Valentine 3D marks a welcome return of the standard horror elements of gore and nudity. Say it with me, America: no more PG-13 horror films! Since I am firmly in the 2Pac camp, I will not be spending money to see Notorious. Is it possible for Kevin James to star in something less funny than King of Queens? His new film Paul Blart: Mall Cop would seem to argue, "Yes!" Hotel for Dogs is strictly for kids and fans of dog culture (and pervs who are into Emma Roberts). Chandni Chowk to China is proof that not all foreign films are good. more ›

• Are you smarter than the governor of California? State Sen. Dean Florez has proposed a bill calling on Gov. Schwarzenegger to take the high school exit exam to show him how important education funds are. The state is mired in a$8 billion debt and some have called for cuts to educating as a way to get California out of its fiscal crisis.
• Bet your sexual frustration never looked like this: A fur seal, in an an unprecedented move of cross-mammal coitus, tried to have sex a king penguin in Antarctica. And the cameras were there! Is it not voyeurism if it's for science?
• If you think that Cinco de Mayo is the big event Monday, think again. Tom Cruise (or some variation there of) is set to launch a website on May 5, Hollywood Newsroom reports. The countdown is already on at TomCruise.com, and theories about who runs the site and what it will look like abound.
• Sean Combs hasn't ruled out suing the crap out of the Los Angeles Times for what turned out to be a false article on Tupac that accused Diddy of orchestrating the hit. "It's not personal, just business," Combs said.
• Details are murky, but LAPD officers reportedly shot and killed a man late last night in South Los Angeles.
• A 17-year-old Long Beach woman gave birth in a shower Friday. Alone. Then walked to the hospital to have the umbilical cord cut. Both the child and mother are OK.
• A man was dragged 75 feet to his death this morning in Orange County. The driver was a man who had been asked to stop peeing on a wall moments earlier "out of respect."
• Lock your doors, Valley-ites. The Daily News reported that home burglary rates have jumped nearly 20 percent in some parts of the San Fernando Valley, something that could be chalked up to the withering economy. At least we taxpayers have our stimulus checks to look forward to. That's going to solve everything.

Last week it was Disney. This week, it's Diddy, or as the star says -- Sean Diddy Combs. Located outside the Hollywood & Highland Center, Puffy's star was dedicated late this morning as a crowd of locals, paparazzi and fans watched him pose before signing autographs. The Associated Press explains that honorees usually show up to these Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremonies and just go through the motions. But not Combs: more ›
