Diddy's new fragrance:The smell of success
NEW YORK -- It's nothing but the best for Sean "Diddy" Combs and his fragrance Unforgivable Multi Platinum.
The new cologne is a limited edition, ramped-up version of Unforgivable, which the 37-year-old rapper-producer introduced last year and saw climb to one of the top launches of 2006.
"In the world of fragrances, perfumes and colognes, the actual products we use are based on 'the juice.' There are different grades of 'juice,"' Combs said during a recent phone interview. "This is the luxury version."
He compared it to a fine wine: One year might be a great vintage for a particular wine and you love it. Then you taste the wine from one of those once-in-a-decade vintages and you go crazy for it.
Even at 65 for 2.5 ounces, 10 more than the regular version, Unforgivable Multi Platinum is likely to be in short supply.
Rosie to leave 'The View'
NEW YORK -- Rosie O'Donnell's stormy tenure on "The View" will be a short one. The opinionated host was unable to agree on a contract with ABC, and she'll leave the show in June.
"My needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me," O'Donnell said in a statement Wednesday.
"This has been an amazing experience," she said, "and one I wouldn't have traded for the world."
O'Donnell has helped raise the ratings for the daytime chat show invented by Barbara Walters. But her outspokenness has caused almost constant controversy, including a nasty name-calling feud with Donald Trump that placed Walters squarely in the middle.
