P. Diddy now Puff Daddy again?

 For O’Neal McKnight’s new single, Check Your Coat, P. Diddy is rapping and is calling himself Puff Daddy once again according to reports on Yahoo.com. There is a lot of confusion as to what name Sean P. Diddy Combs will be using once again. According to reports that a cuff-link seller, Cuff-Daddy.com too close resembles Puff Daddy or if he’ll be able to use P. Diddy in England because that name resembles a record producer that goes by the name Richard Diddy Dearlove. Whatever the name Sean Combs decides to use I don’t think it’ll surprise us. With so many changes, he’ll always just be Puffy to me.

Check out these Top 10 Celebrities who changed their name.

10. Henry John Deutschendorf - John Denver
9. Cherilyn Sarkisian - Cher 
8. Richard Allan Ream - Rikki Rockett 
7. William Bruce Rose, Jr. - W. Axel Rose
6. Chaim Witz - Gene Simmons
5. Anna Mae Bullock - Tina Turner
4. James Newell Osterberg, Jr. - Iggy Pop
3. Butch Firbank - Lou Reed
2. Shawn Corey Carter - Jay-Z
1. Reginald Kenneth Dwight - Elton John

NKOTB-Summertime video

Monday, June 9th, 2008 by vdiaz

Check out the new video Summertime by NKOTB. Not too bad for a ‘comeback’ song. I wish there would’ve been more dancing to the song. So I guess you can say my favorite part was towards the end when they danced and did the old Hangin’ Tough wave moving their arms from side to side that brought back memories.
