DIDDY WILL BE CHARGED IN ASSAULT CASE
Police sources tell the New York Post that Sean "Diddy" Combs will be charged with assault after he allegedly punched an acquaintance of 13 years in the face at a SoHo night club.
Diddy skipped a scheduled meeting with police Tuesday afternoon as his lawyer released a statement saying that he would not be arrested. At the time, Diddy was meeting with the victim at Butter nightclub to try and work things out without criminal charges being filed.
But the victim, 31-year-old Steven Acevedo, said their lil pow wow did nothing to change his mind about moving forward with the case. In fact, when asked point blank if they had resolved the matter, Acevedo told the Post, "Definitely not" before slowly drawing his finger across his throat – the universal gesture of doom.
As previously reported, Acevedo says Diddy punched him in the face during an altercation – not at Kiosk as originally reported, but at the exclusive nightspot Upstairs, according to the Post. The dispute was allegedly over a blonde woman that Diddy escorted to the Cannes Film Festival last summer and that Acevedo had dated.
Sources tell The Post that Acevedo and Diddy, 37, have known each other from the hip-hop club scene for at least 13 years.

DIDDY EDITS FRAGRANCE AD FOR MTV
Edited versions of 30- and 60-second clips from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Unforgivable Woman ad began airing on MTV Tuesday, signaling a change in the mogul’s initial refusal to sanitize the commercial deemed too sexually explicit.
"He did make cuts to it, and he didn't have any issues with them," a spokeswoman for MTV told E! Online. The network had banned the spot after Diddy turned down offers to edit out several portions.
Following MTV’s decision, Diddy decided announced plans to release the entire “three-minute movie version” of the commercial on his MySpace page instead. However, a rep for Sean John Fragrances, Hampton Carney, confirmed Diddy made a total of nine edits for the music channel.
"Yes, they have made some edits, and they're airing the commercials. But he still feels there's going to be some back and forth, because he wants more of his version of the ad edited into the commercial," said Carney.
