Rap mogul Sean "P Diddy" Combs told guests at his New York birthday bash that he wants to be US president.
Business partner Jameel Spencer recently told a US news agency Combs was concerned politicians were ignoring "urban Americans" - young people who have embraced rap culture.
Lawyer Benjamin Brafman said on Monday his client was toying with the idea.
"His marketing talent is surpassed by nobody I have ever met and to the extent that he has the whole world talking about a Puff Daddy presidency, that's something positive, it's something fun, it's something interesting," he said.
"If he ran for president, even if he did not win, I think in his campaign he would float some very positive ideas."
And we all are going to be puff puff give....

A Strange Place for Hemorrhoid Cream
You might ask yourself what sick, twisted individual would put hemorrhoid cream on her face. There's a simple answer — a fashion model, according to Diane Irons, author of The World's Best-Kept Beauty Secrets.
Hemorrhoid cream reduces the puffiness under your eyes and gives you a smoother, refreshed appearance. "In the fashion industry, you learn how to scramble and be resourceful in a hurry," Irons says. "You simply do whatever it takes to look good."
Irons spent years modeling before becoming a fashion writer, specializing in reading the labels of expensive and trendy beauty products and finding their key ingredients in cheap supermarket items.
Some of her findings: Pepto Bismol makes the ultimate cleansing mask, especially for ladies with sensitive skin.
If you're looking for the ultimate makeup remover, try Crisco, just like a lot of beauty mavens. Irons claims that Crisco is so easy on the skin, some hospitals use it to treat psoriasis and eczema, disguising it as "Cream C."
Irons says she developed a passion to unravel these mysteries many years ago, when she visited a top beauty spa and found an unusually large cache of kitty litter — and no cats.
"I had to bribe an employee, but I should have realized that the clay in a $50 facial and a 99-cent bag of kitty litter is basically the same stuff," Irons says. "The biggest difference is the price."
Of course, newfangled cat litter brands have additives and deodorizers. You might want to investigate the matter a little more before you experiment with your face.

The Scent of a Nacho Man
What could be more American than processed cheese? Joey Green has the answer — shaving with Cheez Whiz.
"The oils in Cheez Whiz lubricate the skin and give you a remarkably smooth shave," he says.
Of course, the Cheez Whiz comes with a built-in after-shave that's sure to impress any nacho-loving woman. And if you're looking for a complete change of pace, consider shaving with peanut butter, Cool Whip or Pam Cooking Spray.
In Green's Amazing Kitchen Cures, he documents how that salt-laden, nitrate-packed lunchmeat SPAM can be used as furniture polish, along with dozens of other weird, alternative uses for brand-name products.
You can polish your furniture with pantyhose, clean your toilet with Tang, and fashion insect repellant using Bounce fabric-softener sheets.
"America has a love affair with consumer products. It's an endless fascination," says Green. "You may never use products in your closet in an unconventional way. But you may be trapped on a desert island or locked in your basement."
Green, a former advertising copywriter, began investigating alternative product uses when he worked on a promotion for Nestea.
"One guy said he used to get bad sunburns sailing and he'd soothe himself by soaking in a tub of instant tea," Green says. "Now that's taking a whole new meaning to a Nestea plunge."
But his advertising team soon found that the tannic acid in tea does have some benefits for sunburn sufferers. After consulting hundreds of companies, here are a few of his findings:
Jell-O Hair Mousse: Smear a little Jell-O on your comb and watch what happens. Styling gel and gelatin aren't all that different. So when that big interview comes along, open the fridge. Whipped cream is optional.
Adolph's Bee Sting Tenderizer: When a bee or wasp attacks, use Adolph's Meat Tenderizer. The enzymes in Adolph's meat tenderizer break down the proteins in the venom.
Aunt Jemima's Sore Throat Remedy: Two teaspoons of Aunt Jemima's syrup supposedly soothes an irritated throat.
Campbell's Tomato Skunk Cure: When you're menaced by a skunk, dump two 1-quart tomato juice cans into a bucket and sponge yourself vigorously. The acids from the tomatoes neutralizes the skunk smell.
Kraft Mayonnaise Lice Killer: Smear a little mayo on those critters in your scalp. Wrap your hair in Saran Wrap, and wait two hours. If the lice don't leave you, at least you're ready for lunch.

Strange Museums
The Nonsense Museum — A Nonsense Museum makes sense, at least to the Austrian government, which agreed to fund a permanent showroom in Vienna for a group known as The Society For Surplus Thought.
Aluminum Christmas Tree Museum — Remember the good old days, before tacky plastic Christmas trees? That was the era of tacky aluminum Christmas trees.
Spy Museum — His name is Barrie. Dennis Barrie. And he's the curator of the newly opened International Spy Museum in Washington, which seems to prove that the gizmos in James Bond movies weren't totally farfetched
Occult Museum — Ghosts, poltergeists and spooks of all manner are none too pleased with the Occult Museum in Monroe, Conn., according to curators.
SPAM Museum — SPAM is a lunchmeat legend, and some folks take the spiced ham concoction very seriously.
Salad Museum — Do you need to revisit your salad days? Then check out New York's Dole Museum of Salad. Did you know that salad dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe, and was very similar then to what we eat today?
Jell-O Museum — The Jell-O Museum in Le Roy, N.Y., hit the road last year, and it's still on tour — spreading the word of its jiggling goodness
Liberace Museum — The Liberace Museum in Las Vegas got a face-lift last year and now features an outside wall that depicts the flamboyant pianist in a rhinestone-studded tile mosaic, topped with an enormous pink piano.
Peanuts Museum — Which dead celebrity earned the most money? Elvis — no surprise. Who was No. 2? Marilyn Monroe? John Lennon? Good Grief! The correct answer is Charles M. Schulz, who pulled down $20 million last year. How's that for Peanuts?

Tuesday,November19,2002,9:23 AM
PORTLAND (AP) -- A Portland man is accused of taking $838 worth of items from a supermarket and using a city street sweeper as a getaway vehicle.
Police put two-and-two together after receiving separate reports of a missing street sweeper and of a shoplifter at a Hannaford supermarket.
Officers say Lloyd Willey, 30, was arrested Saturday night after he allegedly loaded the goods into the street sweeper. They say the shoplifted items included more than two dozen bottles of liquor, several cuts of meat and two bags of charcoal.

YACOLT, Wash. (AP) - A man who was showing off for friends by kissing his new rattlesnake was bitten on the lip and nearly died.
Matt George, 21, was hospitalized in critical condition after the incident Sunday. By Tuesday, his condition had been upgraded to serious.
George was showing friends the snake he had caught on a recent trip to Arizona. Holding the 2-foot snake behind the head, he kissed it.
"I said, `OK, man, you're being stupid, put it away,'" recalled Jim Roban. "He said, `It's OK, I do it all the time.'"
After the second kiss, the snake bit him under his mustache. He dropped the snake on the kitchen floor, and Roban killed it with his cowboy boot.
As they waited for an ambulance to arrive at George's home, his face began to swell.
"He said, `I'm going to die,'" Roban said. "I said, `No, you're not going to die, just calm down and relax.'"
Sheriff's Deputy Steven Johnson said he watched in the ambulance as George became limp and his eyes rolled back in his head. After George lost consciousness, he was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Portland, Ore

Take This Holiday Party And Shove It
SAN FRANCISCO (Wireless Flash) -- The holidays aren't just a time of giving, they're also a time of getting fired, if you play your cards right.
According to workplace communications expert Susan RoAne many people use company holiday parties as an opportunity to sabotage their jobs, mainly because they don't have the guts to quit the normal way.
That's why RoAne has compiled several sure-fire ways employees can get canned for Christmas, which include...
-- Hiring a stripping Santa for workplace shindigs.
-- Arriving at the party already drunk.
-- Hitting on the boss or boss' significant other.
-- Interrupting every conversation to talk about yourself.
-- Finally, ignoring dress codes and wearing anything you want, like sweats, to work.
It may seem crazy to you, but RoAne says people will use these passive-aggressive methods because they don't want to be the bad guy for saying "I'm quitting."

A burglar breaks into a house in the ritzier area of town. He's sure that
there's nobody home but he sneaks in, doesn't turn on any lights and heads
for where he thinks the valuables are kept.
He hears a voice say, "I can see you! Jesus can see you, too!"
He freezes in his tracks! He doesn't move a muscle!
A couple of minutes go by. The voice repeats "I can see you! Jesus can
see you, too!"
He slowly takes out his flashlight, switches it on and looks around the
room. He sees a bird cage with a parrot in it. "Did you say that?"
The parrot says again, "I can see you! Jesus can see you, too!"
"Hah! So what?! You're just a parrot!" says the burglar.
"I may be just a parrot", replies the parrot. "But Jesus is a
Doberman!"
