So if you haven’t already, be sure to set up a Twitter profile (it’s free!) and start following your favorites!

We know he wasn’t shopping for himself there, but paparazzi caught some photos of Diddy spending his evening shopping at the Kitson Kids store.

I’m actually suprised for a couple of reasons. First, I’m surprised that whatever he needed from that store he couldn’t have someone go buy for him. It also surpises me that a guy like Diddy had nothing more important going on in an evening. But then, Diddy is always doing things that are unexpected. It’s just another of the interesting things about him.

Bily Garcia, best known from his time on Survivor: Cook Islands, is a friend of mine and sent me this exclusive account of his time filming the reality horror film, Reality Horror Night. He’s a terrific guy and his article is a fun read. You can find out more about Billy on his MySpace site & about Reality Horror Night on the official site.

I just had the pleasure of acting in the movie Reality Horror Night. By the middle of the shoot I also had the pleasure of becoming the fight choreographer/stunt coordinator. By end of the shoot, the movie had been slated to become a trilogy and I had been commissioned to cast parts 2 and 3. Wow! I am going places! Where do I begin?

On the first day of shooting, the whole cast got together for the first time, much like a real reality show. Jason Prager from Beauty and the Geek is a friend of mine from the New York Reality TV School where we are both mentors. So we met up at New York’s Penn Station to grab a train ride to the shoot location at Glen Cove Mansion in Long Island.

We just happened to run into Robert Smith from I Wanna Work For Diddy while we waited for our train. So during the long train ride into Long Island, the three of us got to break the ice before meeting the others.

And it’s not just any new movie, it’s a movie based on a Reality Show. Survivor’s Billy Garcia told me a bit about it at the Survivor Dodgeball Charity event we were both at a couple of weeks ago and he just sent me the press release so I could share the news with you.

The premise seems to be that there’s a reality show being filmed and when each reality star is eliminated, they are REALLY eliminated…they are snuffed out, so to speak. It’s a reality horror flick. What fun!!

Angelique, aka Frenchy [Photo: © 2008 VH1]

The movie, entitled Reality Horror Night, began shooting yesterday and is being created by Fame Demands Fortune President and C.E.O. Sean Pomper, the Executive Producer of the film.

Before the first contestant is voted off, a “freakish accident” happens, and they meet their demise. When the second and third guest “bite the dust” our contestants discover that they are not only playing for $1,000,000 but playing for their lives.

Monday’s episode of I Want to Work for Diddy ended with Poprah’s life in the balance. Diddy might have fired her… but we won’t find out until next week. The suspense is killing me! I thought that she was untouchable, but maybe her attitude has caught up with her in the end. Here’s a clip from this week’s show:

What do you think? Will Poprah go down in flames or will she rise from the ashes to live another day in reality tv world?

Diddy is once again getting serious about this year’s presidential election. He used his influence in 2004 to get youth out to the voting polls and he is doing it again, but this time in support for Senator Obama. He not only is trying to find an assistant through his reality show I Want to Work for Diddy, he is trying to use his “Vote or Die” campaign to motivate the youth of America to stand up for his candidate. I found this letter signed by Diddy, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, and Kevin Liles on fashiontribes.com:

Dear Young America,

He really is serious this year about change in the White House. I like that he is trying to motivate the younger generations of the country to register to vote. It’s good to see him trying to use his celebrity to promote something so important to our nation’s future.

This week on I Want To Work For Diddy the challenge was kept close to Diddy’s heart. The episode happened to be taping at the same time that he was about to receive his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So the challenge was for the two teams to fly out to Hollywood and work with the personal assistants to the two most important women in Diddy’s life:

Diddy has a video blog on YouTube and in the latest entry he is going off on John McCain and Sarah Palin and it’s in the press a lot right now. In fact, it’s gone viral. He practically flips out over McCain’s choice of vice presidential running mate, Sarah Palin.

Here’s the original clip. (Be warned that the language is raw):

And here’s his apology:
