"Recent reports of a name change are totally false, he is still Diddy," the rep wrote. "He is currently in 'Sean John' mode as the upcoming Sean John fashion show is scheduled for February 8 in New York."
This all comes after a report, where Combs' reportedly said, "Right now I want to be Sean John because that's where I am."
Who knows, Puffy has yet to use the Sean John moniker officially..

In an recent interview with OK! Magazine, Kim Porter, the former girlfriend of hip-hop mogul Diddy. Recently, discussed her 10-year relationship with the entertainer that recently ended. BallerStatus and Daily News offers excerpts from the interview.Porter explains she felt Combs and herself were not on the same page.
"I'd been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Mr. Combs for about 10 years, and it came to a point where it was time for me to move on with my life," Porter told the magazine. "I had invested a lot of time in that relationship, and it wasn't going where it should have been going. So it was time to [end it]. In a relationship, it's important that the people are on the same page at the same time. And we weren't on the same page."
She certainly doesn't believe any man is 100% faithful.
"I will never sit here and say that Puffy -- or any man -- is 100 percent faithful," she explained.
Porter told the magazine both her and Combs are just friends, Sienna Miller wasn't the cause of the split.. And, she went on to say, Puffy's relationship with Jennifer Lopez was an embrassment.
"They're just friends," Porter tells the mag. "That wasn't the cause [of the split]." On J-LO and Puffy... "I never thought it was real. It was an embarrassment."
What a candid piece and interview with Kim. We all wish the best for Porter and Combs.

Stewart Pulls Diddy Prank: According to the UK Mirror, at an recent Diddy yacht party in St. Tropez -- someone pulled a prank on Diddy. That someone was Rod Stewart's daugther, Kimberly Stewart. The rap star noticed his favorite ride, Maybach limo worth a cool $700,000 was missing. Only to later find out, Stewart, took it for a spin. Diddy reportedly stopped partying and started panicking, according to the paper.
One partygoer told the Mirror: "Diddy did not see the funny side at first. He had no idea it was a practical joke. He thought it was stolen. He had his flunkies on a wild goose chase looking all over the place for his car - it's his baby."
The Mirror spy said: "Diddy and his minders were stressing out until someone piped up that they had seen Kimberly running off giggling with the keys and a friend in tow."
I'm sure Diddy took a deep breath after learning of the prank, and slept fine.. We all hope.

The story comes from fishbowlNY, who reports the Diddy's call for an personal assistant has more submissions than CNN's Democratic debates. Combs' video application has garnered over 10k submissions, while the CNN debate only had 2,989 video submissions. Thats a margin of 3 to 1. While people hate on Puffy, looks like people are more than willing to serve him and receive all the perks that come along with it.

"He's a unique business. He's a celebrity. He's a brand. He's a cultural movement. What I mean by that is that anyone under 35 years old listens to R&B and hip-hop music. Whether he is the most talented musician or not, he is at the epicentre of the creation of that world. Young people view him as a lifestyle."
He continued: "In a funny sort of way, he's the hip-hop Ralph Lauren. Because many, many years ago, Ralph Lauren created a brand and a lifestyle that people sort of aspired to be part of. [P Diddy] is modern-day aspiration."
As previous reported: Sean 'Diddy' Combs and actress SIENNA MILLER, were spotted together after the Princess Diana tribute concert at an London area club and restaurant.

More Diddy/SIENNA MILLER Speculation: Dawn Richard of Danity Kane, however, speculates there's little behind the relationship of Combs and SIENNA MILLER. Richard said after an after-party for the Live Earth concert, "I think he is trying to get into the acting business, so I think it is more -- Diddy is very smart. I think meeting with Sienna Miller may not have been what people thought it was. I think he was probably trying to meet and get ahead. That is what he does." Richard, continues siding with Porter, too "But people take it there. He isn't married, and he is a playboy.... But Kim [Porter] is probably tired of the media making it so big. It’s hard when you have four kids."
Diddy to the UK? Sean "[P] Diddy" Combs is reportedly on the market for a new home in London. This comes days after, Kim Porter, Combs' ex-girlfriend ended their relationship and relocated in Los Angeles from New York. Combs is speculated to be linked with UK actress SIENNA MILLER. Combs' recently said of London, "I'm looking to buy a place in London at the moment. I just love this city, and I seem to be spending so much time here that it seems like the logical thing to do. Ideally I'd like to live in Soho, although I guess it might be a little noisy."
A Raisin' in the Sun on Hold till February: As posted in December, Diddy started filming the television movie "A Raisin' In the Sun," also a Broadway production play.

Combs' lavish launch for his Sean John Unforgivable fragrance on Monday, attracted celebrities to help celebrate the debut of Unforgivable. Its reported, Combs announced that he is thinking seriously about joining the F1 circuit by buying a team. Though Diddy is quite weathly, I doubt he'd outright buy or join F1. Maybe, partner considering operarting a Forumula One team is estimated to be $66 million to $400 million investement. That would be a considerable sum of money to join the world's most expensive sport and one of the largest television audience... Although, good place to reach a new market of high-end consumers...

While Diddy's remake of the Police's hit "Every Breath You Take" was among the worst at second. More at retroCRUSH, including full list. I don't fully agree with the list, those two remakes are some of my favorite Puffy songs..

Sean "Diddy" Combs addressed the recent name issue with UK artist/producer Richard "Diddy" Dearlove on his MySpace blog. Combs will release Press Play in the US as Diddy and Press Play as P. Diddy in the UK.
"It's only fair that since he said he used Diddy first, that he be allowed to use it."
"I am blessed that I have many, many names to choose from and on October 17th, Press Play will be released from Diddy in the U.S. and from P.Diddy in Europe."
Looks like the Bad Boy Mogul and CEO, Sean Combs will be changing his name, again. Well at least in the UK, Sean Combs' former monikers, include Puffy, Puff Daddy, P Diddy, and Diddy, since last August. Until recent Combs' had been challenged over his current trade name, "Diddy" by UK artist and producer, Richard "Diddy" Dearlove. Combs settled his case outside UK Royal Courts of Justice.. More from the Washington Post:
Sean Combs is Diddy no more _ at least in Britain. The musician and entertainment mogul has agreed to drop the Diddy name as part of an out-of court legal settlement with London-based music producer Richard "Diddy" Dearlove, the law firm representing Dearlove said Monday.
Solicitors Jens Hills & Co. said Combs had agreed to "rebrand his commercial activities" in Britain and would "no longer be able to trade in the U.K. as 'Diddy.'" Combs' lawyer, Nigel Calvert, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Dearlove launched a lawsuit for unfair competition, claiming the name change had caused confusion. The case had been due to go to the High Court next month.
"I started getting e-mails from Puerto Rican girls asking if they could be in my video and people were asking me to look at their clothing line," Dearlove was quoted as saying by The Guardian newspaper.
As noted on the P Diddy Bad Boy main page, the Diddy made another list. Sean "P Diddy" Combs, was among the minorities to be named The Most Influential with includes, Jay-Z, Oprah, Russell Simmons, Will Smith among others. Checkout the Bad Boy Mainpage for Complete Story.
The Buzz is there may of been trouble on Diddy's Yacht. Reported in the Britain's The Sun that P Diddy and his girlfriend Kim Porter were yachting in the Mediterranean coast for several days, after arguing throughout the night on Comb's yacht early morning. Reports are that, Porter's nose being broken from the resulted argument, and plastic surgeons being flown in from Geneva. NOT Sure if reports are true, more to come.
P Diddy gets his yacht, finally after being left on land and dry. At the height of the travel season in St. Tropez, P Diddy couldn't do no cruising, until he got a yacht he first couldn't buy. And, its very impressive Christina O at 325 ft in length and the Diddy is paying ONLY $605,000 a WEEK!
Word is that P Diddy forgot his wallet, but wait: Sean Combs turned out to support Russell Simmons' Art for Life fund-raiser at his fellow rap mogul's East Hampton home on July 30. But, some thought maybe P Diddy forgot to his wallet. Star Jones noticed that Combs didn't sponsor a child at first at Russell Simmons’ Art for Life Fundraiser' while celebrity attendees Alicia Keys, Usher, Vivica A. Fox and others readily handed over thousand-dollar checks for the cause. Finally, Combs out-sponsored everyone by sponsoring five children. "Puffy was happy to contribute $5,000 to a great evening. Of course he'll send his check," said his rep. Last year, Diddy gave $30,000 to Simmons' Art for Life, which supports children’s arts education.
Combs on upcoming Announcement and MTV's VMA Blowout hosted by the Diddy
The Original Bad Boy himself SEAN 'P DIDDY' COMBS will unveil his new name in time for the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards at the end of August (05). He teases, "There will be an announcement two weeks from now to clarify what's going on with my name." Any speculation, what it might be?
Combs to Host MTV's VMA's
Luxury yachts, tricked-out cars, P. Diddy, and lots and lots of water.
MTV announced Monday that its Video Music Awards will feature all of those elements next month as it seeks once again to reinvent an awards show that routinely lures big stars and makes racy headlines.
Punk rockers Green Day led all musical acts with eight nominations. Missy Elliott followed with six, and Gwen Stefani and U2 each had five.
P. Diddy will host the Aug. 28 awards show, which comes at the height of Miami's steamy summer and peak of hurricane season. The hip-hop mogul - or someone dressed like him (he was too far away to tell for sure) - swooped into Monday's beachfront announcement on a jet pack.
"One word - hot," said P. Diddy, wearing a white suit and a gray shirt with no tie. "It's hot out here, and it's going to be hot at the show."
P. Diddy promised the show would include scene-stealing stunts like in the past. While there was plenty of sex appeal last year, there was little shock value compared to the 2003 show that featured the infamous Madonna-Britney Spears kiss.
"I'm going to tell the artists that if you want to get naked and run across the stage, go ahead and do it," P. Diddy said. "I'm not going to do teleprompter reading and corny jokes."
Besides Green Day, scheduled performers at the AmericanAirlines Arena overlooking picturesque Biscayne Bay include Kanye West and Kelly Clarkson. Also, for the firs time, the VMAs will be scored with original music composed by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park and hip-hop producer Lil' Jon. West and Clarkson announced some nominees Monday.
Water will be the show's theme, and MTV promised to create the most elaborate water effects ever produced for an awards show. The water show will be engineered in the arena by the same production company that erected the fountain in front of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.
"It could be a gigantic waterfall in the arena. It could be remote performances from pools around Miami," said Dave Sirulnick, the show's executive producer.
Celebrities once again will pull up to the arena in gleaming yachts.
But they will receive competition from other stars, who will arrive in souped-up cars on the red carpet. As the celebrities arrive, viewers will get tours of those cars from the talent themselves.
"I want to show up in a pimped-out (Ford) Bronco," said Clarkson, a Texas native. "I want big Texas wheels and I want them to jack it up."
Diddy also said he will be offering a $100,000 prize for the best-dressed who tread the red carpet, which could be changed to white this year at the host's request.
P. Diddy will host the Aug. 28 awards show on MTV.
