Are Kim And Puffy Still A Couple?

If they are, why Puffy keep saying stuff like this:

Combs confesses he can't even get ready for a night out without an all-female entourage keeping him company. He says, "When I dress, I like to put on some Marvin Gaye. I invite a few women into my room and we have a few drinks. We sort of have a little party getting dressed. For me, it has to be a very sensual experience, so of course I have to have some women around me as I dress. I don't just find women beautiful to look at - I love their company."

"I try to be good, I really do. But sometimes that's just too hard."

J.Lo Dismisses Kim Porter

Did you read that Essence interview where Kim Porter was talking slick about Jennifer Lopez, calling her Puffy's "little Puerto Rican" chick, and talking about how J.Lo and Puffy's relationship was fake? Somebody asked Jen what she thought about Kim's remarks and Jen said, "Look, she knows what went on, I know what went on. And that is where we have to leave it. I am not going to discuss any of the details of that intimate relationship that I had with the public. It's just not that necessary."

Jen Tried To Ditch The Soul Train Awards

I guess Jennifer Hudson heard nobody was showing up to the Soul Train Music Awards, cause at the last minute she tried to ditch. She better ask somebody. Soul Train producer Don Cornelius might be an old dinosaur, but so is Arista and J Records founder Clive Davis, and they go way back. Don got Clive on the phone and Clive called Jennifer and told her she better get her butt out to LA and hung up on her.

OK, now Jen, I didn't say anything when you dissed Andre Talley, but you starting to mess up now.

Ron Artest's Wife Lied?

Suge Knight Ready to Pull the Plug on Death Row

In an exclusive interview, Marion "Suge" Knight, 42, told Page Six he's ready to pull the plug on the label he founded in 1991. His change of direction occurred after he made two visits to the City of Refuge Church, near his hometown of Compton, near L.A., where preachers Noel Jones and T.D. Jakes eerily gave him the same message.
"You've got to be able to let the past go, and move forward to the future," he quoted Jones as saying. Two weeks later, Knight heard Jakes, who was visiting from Texas, say, "You can't keep living in the past. God gives you a chance to move on."
Knight says, "They talked about the same thing, and it felt like they were talking straight to me. I don't want to be tied up with this for years. I want to move on with my life in a more positive direction."
