Golly, People Think Sarah Palin’s Overpriced
8:15PM Andrew Belonsky | Some ignorant folk don’t think “public speaker” Sarah Palin deserves her outlandishly steep paycheck. Eddie Furlong’s hitting the coke pipe. And Penelope Cruz enjoys kissing both Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson. It’s your Wednesday morning gossip roundup! More »
Flotsam & Jetsam
1:22PM Jess McGuire | The wonderful Natalie sent me this clip on Friday, and if I’d posted it immediately we’d all be a little ahead of the game when it comes to web sensations. Of course, ol’ Slowguts McGillicuddy here decided to wait until today to post it because I figured a video of actors dramatically reading out the Twitter updates of assorted celebrities was so awesome, it would be the perfect cure for Mondayitis.

Twitter’s Celebrity Suck Up
2:27AM Ryan Tate | Earlier this year, Twitter internally referred to Sean “Diddy” Combs and its other celebrity clients as a “distractionary element.” When that swipe leaked, via a hacker, the microblogging startup went into full-on pander mode. More »

Michael Jackson Used Diddy So He Could Dance With Beyonce
4:34PM the cajun boy | Diddy or Sean Combs or whatever was one of Letterman’s guests last night and he shared an interesting story about a time when Michael Jackson showed up unannounced at one of his famed “White Parties.” More »
Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Sean Combs
2:15AM STV | 2/5 — PUFF DADDY going through the motions on an elliptical at Equinox West Hollywood. His bodyguard actually approached my friend and said, “Sean would like your number.” She didn’t give it to him, but she did confess that his I Am King commercial makes her laugh her arse off every time she sees it. Grown men riding jet skis in white tuxedos is totally her brand of humor. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.au.] More »
Didn’t We Call Bullshit On Joaquin Phoenix Already?
7:00AM Kyle Buchanan | …Because he’s still going through with this pretend “quitting acting to become a rap star” chicanery. In fact, THR has broken more news about this supposed life trajectory that we are simply refusing to believe: More »
YouTube Clip Of The Day
8:32AM Jess McGuire | Oh god. Oh god.
My friend Ol sent me this clip when my computer was being a playa hater, so I’ve only just had a chance to watch it now. Sean Combs aka Diddy has uploaded a mini movie to his YouTube account which serves as both an advert for the latest of his products, and an audition for the role of 007 in the next James Bond flick.
I can summarise this video with the words “Diddy is a dick”.
I’m sure Obama is stoked about it though. More » 
McCain-Fearing Diddy Finally Has Nickname He Will Never Use: ‘That One’
7:40AM Kyle Buchanan | Though last night’s presidential debate was mostly received as lackluster (and still couldn’t outdraw the Palin/Biden vice presidential matchup), there was one bit that caught the eye of many pundits, and it’s when John McCain dismissively referred to Barack Obama as “that one.” Did McCain forget his opponent’s name in a “senior moment,” or was he letting his irritable temperament and condescension break through at an inopportune time? Whatever the reason may be, the newly energized Diddy took to his Diddy Blog to rewind the gaffe, and suffice it to say, the Bad Boy impresario is far from pleased. David Letterman, you may have a new foot soldier. [Diddy Blog] More »
Conundrums: Elect Sarah Palin, and Lose Diddy Forever
5:40AM Kyle Buchanan | Though John McCain came out of the Republican National Convention with a lead over Barack Obama, the general consensus is that political momentum has swung back Obama’s way — and for further proof, look no further than important swing voter Diddy. Last seen praising Sarah Palin’s RNC speech (”You did your thing. You gave a speech that pretty much shut me the fuck up”) Diddy has changed his tune even faster than a ridiculous nickname past its expiration date. Now, after having watched Palin biff question after question with Katie Couric, Diddy is frightened — so frightened, he’s hiding under the covers, threatening never to come out if McCain and Palin get elected. Finally, a celebrity endorsement the Republicans can actually use! [Diddy Blog] More »
