Diddy has landed a role on the CBS crime drama 'Hawaii Five-o' according to the shows website.
Puffy will play Reggie Williams, a New York city cop who goes to Honolulu seeking revenge on criminals who did his family dirty.
To prepare for the role Diddy is taking weapons training classes, as well as training with a Navy S.E.A.L.
The Bad Boy CEO who last starred on the movie 'Get Him To The Greek' is also said to be up for consideration to play opposite Beyonce Knowles in the Clint Eastwood directed 'A Star Is Born' remake.

Super Bowl XLV offers an opportunity for a couple of first time events. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin could become the youngest coach to win two Super Bowls at the age of 37.
It will also be the first ever Super Bowl without cheerleaders according to Yahoo.
The Steelers and Green Bay Packers are 2 of only 6 teams that don't have those sexy women with pom poms cheering their teams on and helping to hype the crowd.
The other teams without cheerleaders are are the Cleveland Browns, the Chicago Bears , the Detroit Lions, and the New York Giants.
That the game is being played in Dallas, where the Cowboys have made cheerleading high profile for years, makes the situation seem even more odd.
The Packers were one of the first pro football teams to use cheerleaders, starting in 1931. But in 1988, the team disbanded its professional cheering squad. The Pack have used the cheerleading squad from the University of Wisconsin at-Green Bay for the last 21 years at home games and Super Bowls 31 and 32, but opted not to have them appear at this years's Super Bowl.
"We thank the Packers for wanting a collegiate atmosphere at their games and real CHEERleaders (not dancers). The UW-Green Bay cheer squad also travelled to Super Bowl 31 and 32 and were on the field cheering our team on! It is unfortunate that we are not being included this year, but we are grateful for all the opportunities we have cheering for every home game at Lambeau. Go Pack!" UW-GB cheer coach Ann Rodrian wrote to Dallas News.
I think NFL fans want to see the "dancers" Ann, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen at Super Bowl XLV.
Multimedia mogul Russell Simmons stopped by Shade 45 Saturday (January 22) to drop some knowledge about a wide variety of topics. And to promote his new book 'Super Rich: A Guide To Having It All.' A self help book about "the principles that promote happiness and attract riches.".
When you're as wealthy and successful as Russell is, there aren't many people whose opinions can affect your bottom line. Unless it's someone like Oprah Winfrey, who didn't plug Russell's new book on her show because she's reportedly angry with it's bad language.
"But all the work I do for humanity, for the animals, for the planet, for civil rights, for the hood and all that. I would think they would let my personal life not have nothing to do with my message," Russel said. "She didn't say that, but her best friend Gayle [King] did."
Russell goes on to talk about being a vegan, his harem of women, the inhumane treatment of farm animals and Amber Rose's ass.
Rose made an appearance on Russ's show 'Running Russell Simmons', and of course Whoo Kid had to know if he touched her ass while she was there.
"That's a lot of ass ... I'm scared of that much, you know I like thin girls," Russell said. "I love her to death, but we never even went down that.. discussion."
Check out the rest of the interview below and if you would like to purchase Russel's new book click HERE.
From the dudes that brought you "Head of the State" comes a new video.
This time they are spoofing perhaps rap's biggest icons in Tupac Shakur and his "Hit Em Up" video that famously dissed Notorious B.I.G.
Once again President Barack Obama as played by actor/comedian James Davis, is seen rapping, dancing and acting "hood" while dissing the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Dick Cheney.
In this spoof as funny as "Head of the State"? Or needs more work?
For someone who has been getting lots of press over the last couple of years, Nicki Minaj hasn't really revealed a lot about her personal life.
Of course we've known that the 26-year old was born in Trinidad and Tobago, moved to the U.S. at age 5 and had a father who was an abusive drinker. But in a new interview with the UK Sun the Young Money rapper really opens up about what life was like for her, her brother and mother living with a man as abusive as her dad and how that affected her.
"All of my young and teenage early years we lived in fear that my mother would be killed by my father. It was ridiculous. It made me act out to guys and be evil to them when I was growing up," Nicki said. "It made me tough. Of course it did. I am an emotional person, but I am a tough person. It was very tough emotionally for me to have a parent who was an alcoholic and a drug addict. I had a mom with no money."
Living in that environment has shaped Nicki into the woman she is today. Wildly successful and strong, yet slightly vulnerable at the same time.
"We didn't really have many options. When you don't have options you feel helpless. And I think that is the worst feeling. My father was violent - physically and verbally. Once my older brother grew up he became the man of the house and started standing up to my father. That was the only time we had peace in my home, when we knew there was another male figure in the house and he could protect us," Nicki explains. "I will cry about something but I never let anything stop me. I can't be like my mom. I know I can cut ties and still make it. She didn't cut ties when I felt like she should have done. That's been my whole thing. I've been able to say, 'This isn't working any more. You need to get out of my life'. I keep it moving and it has worked."
Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan (CNN) -- In a far flung corner of northern Afghanistan, Aziza reaches into the dark wooden cupboard, rummages around, and pulls out a small lump of something wrapped in plastic.
She unwraps it, breaking off a small chunk as if it were chocolate, and feeds it to four-year-old son, Omaidullah. It's his breakfast -- a lump of pure opium.
"If I don't give him opium he doesn't sleep," she says. "And he doesn't let me work."
Aziza comes from a poor family of carpet weavers in Balkh province. She has no education, no idea of the health risks involved or that opium is addictive.
"We give the children opium whenever they get sick as well," she says, crouching over her loom.
With no real medical care in these parts and the high cost of medicine, all the families out here know is opium.
It's a cycle of addiction passed on through generations.
The adults take opium to work longer hours and ease their pain.
Aziza's elderly mother-in-law, Rozigul, rolls a small ball in her fingers and pops it into her mouth with a small smile before passing a piece over to her sister.
"I had to work and raise the children, so I started using drugs," she says. "We are very poor people, so I used opium. We don't have anything to eat. That is why we have to work and use drugs to keep our kids quiet."
The entire extended family is addicted.
This part of Afghanistan is famous for its carpets. It's so remote there are no real roads. The dirt ones that exist are often blocked by landslides.
The closest government-run drug rehabilitation center is a four-hour drive away. But it has just 20 beds and a handful of staff to deal with the epidemic.
"Opium is nothing new to our villages or districts. It's an old tradition, something of a religion in some areas," said Dr. Mohamed Daoud Rated, coordinator of the center.
"People use opium as drugs or medicine. If a child cries, they give him opium, if they can't sleep, they use opium, if an infant coughs, they give them opium."
The center is running an outreach program to the areas that are most afflicted.
Most Afghans aren't aware of the health risks of opium and only a few are beginning to understand the hazards of addiction.
"I was a child when I started using drugs" 35-year-old Nagibe says.
She says her sister-in-law first gave her some when she was a young teenage bride, just 14 years old. Her children grew up addicts as well.
When her husband died, she remarried.
She said: "My new husband doesn't use drugs, nor does his family. Because of that I was able to come here and get treatment. Now as an adult I understand and I want to leave this all behind."
She has been clean for four months, but every day is a struggle.
Carpet weaver Rozigul, 30, is in the detox program with her three-year-old son Babagildi, his pudgy face covered in blemishes. She started using six years ago.
"When I was pregnant with this baby I was using drugs. So he was born addicted and was always crying. I would try to keep him quiet and make him sleep, so I just kept feeding him opium," she says.
Her addicted mother-in-law shares the bed next to her, curled up in a ball and mumbling to herself.
Three generations from one family, all struggling with a curse that afflicts well over one million Afghans.

50 Cent knows a thing or two about the magic super producer Dr Dre can work behind the boards. That's why he's as excited as everyone else is about the 'Detox' album.
Just Blaze's recent joke comparing 'Detox' to seeing a unicorn aside, the album is definitely dropping this year.
Fif spoke with MTV at Sundance about when the album is so anticipated.
"I Think everyone is [looking forward to Detox]. When you got a producer that has that kind of production track record... You'd have to even credit both Eminem's success and my success to Dr Dre as a producer," 50 said. "My 1st single off of Get Rich Or Die Tryin' people constantly tell me is a classic was produced by Dr Dre In Da Club. Without that momentum from that song I'm not sure they [fans] would have taken to P.I.M.P. the same way or 21 Questions or any of the other hit records I released following that."
The next 'Detox' single will be the Eminem and Dre collaboaration "I Need A Doctor" produced by UK beat maker Alex Da Kid.
Check the pics out below of Eminem arriving today on the set of the "I Need A Doctor" video shoot in Los Angeles
I guess when you can't track down an entertainer by phone, the next best thing is putting up a youtube video plea.
That's what West Coast veteran rapper Snoop Dogg hopes to accomplish with his video released yesterday (January 24), asking Lady Gaga to record a song with him.
"Attention, this is an APB (all-points bulletin) out for Lady Gaga, big Snoop Dogg is lookin' for you, I'm trying to do a song with you. It's a real nice freaky deaky kind of song. Get at me." The Doggfather says.
Snoop is set to drop his 11th album "Doggumentary", in March, maybe we will hear a Snoop/Gaga collaboration on that disc.
Would you like to hear Lady Gaga on a Snoop Dogg track?
What's that brown slop inside ur Taco Bell burrito? Well it's not beef that's for sure.
The fast food giant is being sued for false advertising.
A class-action lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in California by the Montgomery, Ala., law firm Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles on behalf of a California woman, Amanda Obney according to the New York Daily News.
The lawsuit claims the "taco meat filling" used by Taco Bell contains is only about 35% beef, with binders, extenders, preservatives, additives and other agents making up the other 65%.
Obney doesn't want money, she just wants Taco Bell to stop claiming they are selling customers beef.
"We are asking that they stop saying that they are selling beef," the law firm representing Obney says.
Taco Bell spokesman Rob Poetsch said the company plans to "vigorously defend the suit."
"Taco Bell prides itself on serving high quality Mexican inspired food with great value. We're happy that the millions of customers we serve every week agree," he added
No need to adjust your internet connection, if you're looking for worldstarhiphop the closest you're going to get is a cached Google page.
The video website made the mistake of going against 50 Cent and now appear to be paying the price.
Well actually the site is down due to some kind of technical difficulties according to the site's owner Q, or maybe because of copyright infringement of others are to be believed.
"We've been down before, the longest was like 8 months in 2007," Q told Hot 97's Angie Martinez during a phone conversation just moments ago.
When asked to go into his beef with 50 Cent, Q called it a "miscommunication", but it's more than that.
Worldstar had been using 50 Cent's image as it's logo for an extended period, giving visitor's to the site the false impression he was somehow affiliated with it.
50 Cent sued Worldstar in June 2009 for unlawfully using his image. That case is still winding its way through the court system, but the fact is he has a good chance of winning.
I came across this article on blackweb20 that explains why Fif could walk away from the suit with a lot of money or even more.
The use of one’s image or likeness is covered under the Right to Publicity law. This law drives from the Right to Privacy. There are four basic Rights to Privacy:
1. Protection from unreasonable intrusion upon the seclusion of another. For example a home or a car,
2. Protection from appropriation of a person’s name or likeness (Right to Publicity). For example using a person’s name or image on a product or service without their permission,
3. Protection from publication of private facts. For example, income tax data, family quarrels, medical treatment, school records, etc.,
4. Protection from publication of information that places a person in a false light.
Prosser, Restatement 2nd of Torts.
The Right to Publicity is triggered where commercial speech is involved, i.e, when a company has used a celebrity’s “name, likeness, or voice” in connection with a product, thereby creating a false and misleading impression that the celebrity is endorsing the product. See, e.g., Eastwood v. Super. Ct., 149 Cal. App. 3d 409, 417 (1983).
In 50 cent case, he claims WorldStarHipHop.com used his image like a banner ad, therefore created the false impression that he was affiliated with the site. The use of his image resulted in increased traffic to the site and therefore increased ad dollars. If 50 cent's claims are proven to be true, WorldStarHipHop.com will have to compensate 50 cents for using his image to endorse their product, i.e., their website.
Now back to today's dismantling of Worldstar. There's someone else claiming to have taken them down due to a copyright infringement claim.
According to this guy @ishatonu. he filed a complaint against Worldstar with their server host Yahoo, after they used one of his videos without permission.
Whatever the case, the site is down and it's more than just "technical difficulties", their problems with 50 Cent are just beginning.
