Power Moves: Sean P. Diddy Combs is planning to buy a British soccer team. The multi-millionaire rapper is reportedly making moves to invest in struggling London club Crystal Palace--which is currently facing bankruptcy and had 10 league points deducted after going into administration--but is also looking at other sports teams in need of a major cash injection. A source told The Sun newspaper Diddy was in London meeting football fixers a couple of weeks ago. The finance is in place, he’s just deciding who he thinks he’ll make a bid for. “Portsmouth,” who are also in severe debt, were mentioned but he thought Palace was a better idea.

Ludacris' latest album features a number of female rappers _ but the Grammy-winner acknowledges there's one lady he really wanted to work with.

``I think Lauryn Hill is like extremely talented and I can say I did try to do that, it just didn't work itself out,'' he says of the multiple Grammy-winning singer-rapper, whose only studio album, ``The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,'' has sold more than eight million units in the United States since its release in 1998.

While the reclusive former Fugees performer didn't make it on ``Battle of the Sexes,'' Ludacris' seventh studio release, he successfully recruited Lil Kim, Eve, Trina and newcomer Nicki Minaj.
