Now that's just nasty on too many levels

Moving on......
Lamman Rucker, the tall-dark-and-handsome actor who plays attorney T. Marshall Travers on the Emmy-award-winning soap opera, "As The World Turns," is set to appear on a new TV series called, "A Dating Story." The new show, which premiers tonight on TLC, will be hooking him up on a blind date with singer Chanelle Haynes from the gospel group Trin-I-tee 5:7. During an interview yesterday with the BET Radio Network, Lamman said that he was asked to be on the show because things didn't work out with someone else. He explained, "Paul Taylor, who is also on [`As The World Turns']—he plays the character Isaac—was originally slated to be the guy from our show that was supposed to be on the date with Chanelle, but that didn't work out… I think there ended up being scheduling conflicts." Lamman says he was happy that it ended up being him. Lamman and Chanelle's "Dating Story" begins with separate interviews, and then the camera pals around them as they individually prepare for their date and finally acts as a voyeur to their encounter. For the results, watch TLC tonight for the premiere of "A Dating Story."
The "Page Six" section of the "New York Post" reports that rap mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs will most likely fly a bunch of his friends to an exotic location for his 33rd birthday on November 4th. According to the paper, Diddy is planning to blow $1.5 million to fly 100 of his closest friends to Punta Canta in the Dominican Republic where he'll host a bash at Oscar de la Renta's swanky villa. However, Combs' reps told the Post that, although he'll most likely have a party out of town, details have yet to be decided.
The "New York Post" reports that there was a sighting of Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles taking golf lessons together in the Bahamas.
Jennifer Lopez will reportedly play a hot bisexual babe on HBO's "Sex and the City." According to the Internet Movie Database web site, J.Lo will play, quote, a slut who seduces Kim Cattrall's character [Samantha] only to wind up stealing her boyfriend."
Meanwhile, J.Lo has helped pump up those rumors about her being engaged to Ben Affleck. During a radio interview last week (with Wendy Williams of New York's WBLS), J.Lo said she could neither "confirm nor deny" reports that she and Affleck are heading toward the altar. And what about the National Enquirer story that said Lopez started dating Affleck while she was still married to Cris Judd? (Cris Judd's dad gave that story to the Enquirer.) J.Lo says that's completely untrue because she's "a very faithful person" who "believes in loyalty. Meanwhile, filmmaker Joel Schumacher hopes to direct Jennifer Lopez and Will Smith in a remake of "A Star Is Born." Will told TV Guide back in July that he was down for the idea.
TLC's fourth album, "3D," will include a special tribute to the late
Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes (who died in an automobile accident in Honduras in April). The new TLC album (which is due out on November 12 on Arista Records) features a joint called "Dirty" (written and produced by Missy Elliott and Timbaland) which features T-Boz and Chilli saying: the remaining members of TLC take time to "Left Eye would want us to break it down like this… Left Eye gets a moment of silence." Another song, called "Turntable," sounds like T-Boz and Chilli's way of dealing with the sadness of Left Eye's death. The Rodney Jerkins-produced jam doesn't mention Left Eye by name, but the lyrics talk about overcoming a tragedy: "You had your ups and downs/It happened for a reason/'Cause after there was showers/There
will come a change of seasons/So please don't give up now/'Cause sun shines through the clouds/It's gonna be all right." Then, the chorus says: "Don't ask yourself why/Just look to the sky/Believe it/So you'll see the other side."
