Meantime, in a new interview with the British newspaper the Telegraph, Diddy explains he is basically a shy person. Ri-right.

Reports the paper: “It comes as a surprise to realise that P Diddy is just plain shy”.

Overall the interview is one of Combs’ best, in which he explains “I really wanted to become best known as an entrepreneur”.

He says he is proud he helps others and does so by employing daily 3,000 people. Yes, 3,000.

“You know what motivates me? That as a young African-American I know that any deal I do helps to change the perception of minorities. I don’t know if I’m the most successful black man ever, but I feel I’m pretty good at what I do. And I don’t gauge my success on money; I gauge it on how many people I can employ and help with their lives. I employ 3,000 people - that means I’m helping 3,000 people with their bills every week.”

Diddy still remains one of LALATE’s fav celebrities.

Today, it’s again a New York print, this time the Daily News, this is asking whether Cameron Diaz ….  who has proclaimed she loves being single … is lovin’ being single around Sean Combs.

And after paragraph after paragraph, the story ends with a Diddy quote “It is ridiculous that two celebrities of the opposite sex can’t just hang out with a group of friends without it being reported as more than that. We are just friends.” and Diaz’s rep with “no comment”.

Give it til Friday. There will be at least three more Diddy dating stories by then out of New York.

See, in Los Angeles, we don’t do that. If you dating someone, we don’t care about it as much. Just don’t wear a stupid pink wig while you are doing it and block traffic while the rest of us head into the Peninsula at 3 am for our fun too, you know.

And yes, spotted at a popular Santa Monica bar this weekend by LALATE, a girl in a pink wig. Who? Not telling!

LALATE is so excited to have Diddy in L.A.

From LALATE to Diddy: let the partying begin, man! (especially afterhours!)

In recent weeks, LALATE has featured several exclusives from Diddy / Bad Boy, most recently the Day26 album launch party here in Hollywood.

Catch the new video of Sean Diddy Combs arriving and receiving his star.
