Diddy Has a Hand in Ripping the Runway

PopSugar — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 15:00:16 -0800

The Hip Hop and fashion worlds collided last night at BET's Rip the Runway 2008 in NYC. Nelly played host, Snoop Dogg took the stage to perform, and Diddy acted as executive producer for the event, which airs on March 4. Diddy has been really branching out from his musical career lately, and he revealed to David Letterman that he's looking to get into more movies after making A Raisin in the Sun. In an episode that will air tonight, Diddy said, "Yeah, leading man kind of stuff; you know, jumping off of buildings," also mentioning that he wants to do scenes involving "making love to beautiful women." Sounds like Diddy has high hopes for his future leading man status.

Missy, Snoop & Tribe Enjoy VH1 Hip Hop Honors

Molly — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 12:36:16 -0700

NYC's Hammerstein Ballroom was brimming with celebrities last night for VH1's 2007 Hip Hop Honors. Tracy Morgan (who was so the highlight of last night's 30 Rock - "You can be a freaky deaky and do data entry.") hosted the event, which probably is a good reason for it not to air live. He's a tad unpredictable. The ladies shined on the red carpet, especially Kerry Washington in her strapless blue number. Bella wants to know which hairstyle you like best on her? This year's big show honored Missy Elliot, Whodini, Snoop and A Tribe Called Quest and the audience was treated to performances from Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, Eve and Ciara. Quite the lineup. Check out the show when it airs on VH1 on Monday night.

To see a huge gallery of pictures from the big night including Ice T and Coco, Bow Wow, Busta, Spinderella, Grandmaster Flash, Pharrell, LL Cool J and many many more just read more

Missy Elliott to play herself in a big screen version of her life. The De Niro production will hopefully have many cameos since Missy has worked with the likes of Diddy and Beyonce. That or someone will have fun playing their roles. - Yahoo! News
