vocalists Brandy, Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige, Big Boi from Outkast, Ciara,
Nas, Keyshia Cole, Nicole from The Pussycat Dolls and Fergie from
The Black Eyed Peas. I was lucky enough to attend his album launch party along with my "plus one." OK, it was kinda dead when we entered the place (which was really posh) but that's how some media peeps are. Either way, we had a great time and some of the tracks on PD's new album are BIG! Although he wasn't due to show up later and we never got to see the great man in the flesh, there were free drinks all the way. We even got a nice little goodie bag with champagne and CD's (gonna pop that on a special occasion). Here's to u Mr. Combs and Simon Q, cheers.
His first single off the album [released October 19th], Come To Me features Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger out October 2nd.
