Bad Boy Records boss Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs will take on a new presidential role when he poses in an upcoming photo shoot as U.S. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama.  The hip-hop honcho will pay tribute to the Democratic candidate in an upcoming issue of Italian men’s fashion magazine L’uomo Vogue by posing as the potential world leader, according to reports.

Rapper The Game has been inundated with TV and radio offers after announcing his plans to retire.  The Los Angeles-based star insists his upcoming third album, L.A.X., will be his last and he now hopes to devote more time to his family and other business opportunities.

Rock legend Jimi Hendrix has become the latest musician to appear in video game Guitar Hero. Experience Hendrix, which controls the rock icon’s musical legacy, is providing his music and likeness for use in the game.  An avatar of Hendrix as well as the song The Wind Cries Mary and a live version of Purple Haze will be included on Guitar Hero World Tour.

The politician recently told U.S. TV show What’s In It For Us, “I’ve met with Kanye. And I’ve talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap. I think the potential for them to deliver a message of extraordinary power that gets people thinking is massive.” The Lollapalooza festival takes place in Chicago, Illinois’ Grant Park from August 1-3rd.  [...]
