Diddy Now Making a Boy Band

January 8, 2007 by Celebrity

Diddy took some time away from his new baby twins Jessie James and D'Lila Star to host Gilbert Arenas birthday this weekend. The entertainment mogul is busy working on Making the Band 4. This time instead of a girl group, Diddy has turned his attention to the boys. Here's more:

P. Diddy, meanwhile, is looking for boy-band members for "Making the Band 4," airing later this year on MTV. An open casting call will be held Feb. 6 at The Roxy.

This time around, Diddy's looking for guys 18 and older - "a mix between New Edition and N'Sync with a brand-new sound."

The second and third editions of "Making the Band" were ratings winners for MTV (season one aired on ABC).

Last time out, Diddy created a girl group from scratch, Danity Kane, who had a No, 1 single right out of the box.

We love us some boy bands so we can't wait to see what Diddy puts together. For more pics of Diddy and Gilbert Arenas just

Since Diddy has gotten rich, he's lost his humility, but his talent's still there. I heart Danity Kane and I'm interested to see his boy band. **“In my mind, I’ve always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y’all just didn’t know yet.” -Will Smith **

Diddy needs to lay off of the making the band stuff and concentrate on his family!

Oh, please spare us! I can't stand these manufactured singing puppets. My daughter drives me crazy whenever she starts to blast Danity Kane. And what kind of name is Danity Kane anyway? Please, Diddy, focus on finding artists with true talent, and quit force feeding us these idiotic boy/girl bands.

Diddy is greedy! I'm perfectly fine with Danity Kane, but since they are successful Diddy wants more. (DK's album was certified platinum in just 3 months and will be touring with Christina). Ugh. This boyband will not work out. BTW, since when all groups aren't manufactured? All groups have been made the way MTB shows were. It's just that they're not all on tv.

Good grief, I hate manufactured groups, and his little makings haven't done so well, he just needs to stop.

question: if the guys in boy bands don't play instruments how are they a band? that term has always sort of bothered me. 2007?

OK I can't get over the fact that his daughters names are after Sandra Bullocks husband, and a porn star.

I was really disgusted by the whole fake fur lining jacket thing that happened with the raccoon dog fur. Someone in his camp ( or himself ) should have known.

Diddy always has his hands in something ...
