The HBO series Entourage will kick off their seventh season on June 27 and onboard for one of it’s episodes is none other than Diddy. Sean Combs will soon join the list of previous hip-hop cameos that have included 50 Cent, Kanye West, and Snoop Dogg. According to The BoomBox

The Diddy appearance will come during what’s sure to be a quixotic quest for actor Jerry Ferrara under his Turtle guise. The character’s storyline throughout the season involves starting a new business and all the ups and downs that come with trying to rustle up the big investments necessary to achieve success in a luxury town. Ferrara is slated to encounter Diddy and Wahlberg on a golf course as he tries to get his funds up.

In real life, Wahlberg and Puff are business partners with the beverage AquaHydrate.

What do you when you can’t sell another single in stores? No, you don’t light a match—you go on strike. Yep, that’s T-Pain’s plan. With record sales down, The Autotuner tells 1515 that he’s not releasing another album until they pick back up. With that said…

“I got the mastered version of my album in my car right now. But I’m not bringing my album out until these artists start selling records again, ’cause ain’t nobody selling records unless you Susan Boyle,” T-Pain told MTV News. Even though his website is promoting his forthcoming effort RevolveR, the collabo king insisted he’s going to fall back until album sales pick up. “I’m not doing nothing. I’m not bringing out no album, not dropping no more new singles until people start selling records again, and that’s the approach I think everybody should take unless you Susan Boyle or Miley Cyrus.”
