Yes, that’s rapper T.I. dressed as a traffic cop directing traffic yesterday on the set of his new film “Bone Deep” also starring the geeky Chris Brown. No doubt T.I.’s experience with law enforcement in recent years made him the perfect choice for this role. T.I. will be in town all next week for the 2008 BET Hip Hop Awards taping on Oct. 18 at the Atlanta Civic Center.

Michelle Obama waves at paparazzi as she leaves the Time Warner building in NYC. Michelle was a guest on CNN’s Larry King Live last night. Once again we ask, why isn’t Michelle running for president instead of her husband who, I’m told, sought the advice of a speech coach recently to help him lose his annoying “uh” tic?

Even Michelle says she focuses intently on Barack’s words to make sure she understands what he’s attempting to convey. You don’t believe me? Read on.

When Larry asked whether she was offended when John McCain called Barack Obama “that one” during the presidential debate, Michelle responded:

“No. No. I have to say that, you know, in these debates, I am so focused on what Barack is saying, you know, and how he is, you know, phrasing his words. And I’m really trying, you know, to listen to the substance of what he’s saying to, you know, make sure that I understand what’s going on…”

Well, if that don’t beat all. It looks like Michelle needs to make an appointment with the speech coach herself, lol. :)

Sean “Diddy” Combs will be in Atlanta today to celebrate 10 years of his Sean John Collection at Macy’s Lenox Square. Sean was spotted at a Madonna concert in NY on Tuesday with his left arm in a sling. Word is Sean had “minor surgery” on his arm which could mean anything knowing this guy. Sean is also scheduled to have dinner with industry friends at his Justin’s restaurant, and later tonight he will lift Ciroc and Patron bottles at the Velvet Room. Ladies free all night.
