A Diddy Itinerary

OCTOBER 20--While we were too busy to notice, the new Sean 'Diddy' Combs album apparently 'dropped' earlier this week, and the rapper launched a media campaign to flog it. Below is a copy of Combs's schedule for the week as he travels across New York City promoting 'Press Play.' While the Diddy itinerary (try saying that three times fast) includes the expected stops at MTV, Sirius, and BET, it is notable for the fact that the rapper's 'travel party' includes three personal assistants and a two-person hair/makeup team. Not to mention the 34 names included on the itinerary's contact sheet. It seems that the only person missing from the 2006 Diddy entourage is Notorious B.I.G., though the late rap star is never far from Diddy's heart (or his marketing material). Though we missed him this morning on NBC's 'Today,' we'll be looking for Combs outside the TRL studio at 3 PM sharp. (8 pages)
