I'm so EXCiTED!!!!!!!!" In other Diddy news.... While promoting AQUAhydrate, the mogul revealed on "Ellen" that he used to be a bed-wetter saying, "One thing I want to say is, I grew up as a Kool-Aid kid. I used to pour a half a pound of sugar into the Kool-Aid. Besides it having me bouncing off the walls, I used to be a bed wetter." Though the admission seemed to make the audience a little nervous, he flipped the script and told them how his childhood "issue" helped develop his swagger and created the mogul we all love today. “Yes, I'm confessing that I used to be a bed wetter. So, I went on this quest to stop wetting the bed, and the first day that I had a sleepover and I didn't wet the bed, it was, like, one of the greatest days of my life. It gave me the swagger that I have today because I stopped wetting the bed."

| Posted: 02 Mar 2013 05:53 AM PST Music icon Prince performed two songs on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” including his new single "Screwdriver." Watch the legend (who stepped out with a diamond-studded cane) grace the stage inside.... Stepping out of his hotel wearing a lush coat worthy of a king AND a diamond-studded cane, music royalty Prince was seen heading over to a taping for "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." All those years of doing splits and kicks on-stage must have taken their toll but we love how Prince "handled" that! Once he hit the stage, he performed his latest single "Screwdriver" and followed that up with the classic "Bambi" (which appeared on his 1979 disc Prince). And for true Prince fans, you'll recall that he is famous for replacing ALL of his band members every once in a while (to keep it fresh). Nowadays, he's hitting the stage with his all-female band called 3rd Eye Girl. Watch "Screwdriver" here: Watch "Bambi" here:

We've been talking about Ciara's upcoming One Woman Army disc for over a year now and though it hasn't gotten a release date, we do know that she'll revisit her ATL roots on an upcoming single called "Body Party." The track samples the ATL bass classic "My boo" by the Ghost Town DJ's and is a sexy mid-tempo track that listeners can dance to....or grind to. She tweeted, "My Body's Your Party Let's Get It Started..."
Join the "Body Party" here:
In other new music: Before her highly anticipated album, Broke With Expensive Taste hits the stores, Azealia Banks had dropped yet another buzz single which she hopes will catch fire on the radio and in the clubs. The song, "Barely Legal" is a dance club remake of a rock and roll single by the band The Strokes. Luckily, Azealia can pull this kind of music off without batting an eyelash.  |

| Free Hits The "Dead Man Down" Screening In D.C., Tweets About Losing Her Radio Gig At WPGC Posted: 01 Mar 2013 01:32 PM PST Media personality Free hosted a screening of "Dead Man Down" yesterday, just one day after she revealed that she's left her radio gig at WPGC-FM. Find out what she said about her departure inside.... Yesterday, Free, looking cute in red, joined FilmDistrict athlete West End Cinema in Washington, DC to host a screening of the flick Dead Man Down starring Colin Farrell, Terrence Howard, Noomi Rapace and Dominic Cooper (opening March 8). She spoke about the movie saying, "I am an action drama nut, so this movie definitely spoke to me. Colin Farrell gets finer by the day and all I could think about was Terrence Howard saying I have a car and a driver. Overall, it was a really good movie. There were some parts that was a little slow to watch, but I love when you can figure out who the bad person is."
But as Free smiled through the event, the big elephant in the room was that she's no longer working at WPGC-FM.
We're not sure if she was fired or if both parties mutally agreed to part ways but she did tweet, "Dear DMV: I have enjoyed our time on the radio. Today was my last day at @WPGC #staypositive #ontothenext yall know how this goes!" See also said goodbye to her co-workers saying, "Dear: @DJHeatDC @thejuliewright @GuyLambertNews was my pleasure Thanks for all the lessons and laughs!" From the tone of the tweets, it doesn't seem like she knew she was on the way out the door. But we're sure she will land on her feet somewhere...

Find out what she revealed to the hosts about renewing her vows with hubby Nick Cannon inside.... Earlier this morning, "American Idol" judge Mariah Carey was spotted posing with a fan as she left her apartment building (wearing a red leopard print coat) to go appear on "Live With Kelly & Michael."

But...“[Monroe] tries to put my shoes on. She always chooses the most sparkly ones.” And “Moroccan always watches movies with me” (while sitting on Nick's side of the bed). She added that Roe is really into the "beauty and glamour" aspects of being the daughter of Mariah Carey and she loves coming into her hair and makeup room (yes..she has a hair/makeup salon at home). Meanwhile, Roc is not interested in that room and prefers to watch Shrek 2 with Mommy. She also reminded Kelly that she's taken has 500 hours of beauty school and offered to do her hair one day. Love it. Mimi also said that she and Nick are planning a Disney-themed event for the renewal of their vows this year, after last year's Paris renewals. And she added that they plan to make the event more about Roc and Roe since their birthday is the same day as their wedding anniversary (and this year makes 5 years!). She also talked about "American Idol" and what she looks for in a contestant.
Watch the interview here: Mimi also played a game called “Movie Minute with Mariah,” where she proves her movie buffness:
And Diddy stopped by "Ellen" today to promote his new AQUAhydrate gig with Mark Wahlberg. And while talking about the bottled water, this reminded Diddy about a time where Kool-Aid used to make him wet the bed.
Ha! That's one way to convince kids to drink water.

Seems like her marriage to movie studio exec DeVon Franklin is giving her career a major boost. Who says there's no perks with love?
