P Diddy is going to run the New York marathon.

He's hoping to raise $1m (£600,000) for schools and families affected by HIV and AIDS.

He's calling his effort 'Diddy Runs The City'.

The 26.2 mile race takes place on November 2, but he admits he's only been training for three weeks but is determined to finish - even if it means crawling across the finish line:

"I've been blessed with a lot of power, and a lot of responsibility comes with that power, and it's important right now, with the crisis that we have going on, that we talk about it, we read about it, it's important for all of us to get out and do something about it."

50 Cent has forked out nearly £3m to buy a 52 room mansion in Connecticut once owned by Mike Tyson.

It's surrounded by 17 acres of woodland, has seven kitchens, a sauna, hot tub, four whirlpools, 18 bedrooms, a gym, a disco, a boathouse, tennis courts and a man-made waterfall outside.

His neighbours aren't happy though - they've met with local cops because they're worried about possible noise and wild parties.

Some of America's top DJs got together for the Mixshow Power Summit in Puerto Rico at the weekend.

It's an annual conference held to recognise mixshow DJs for their role in hip-hop's surge from the streets to the forefront of popular music.

Some of this years guests included Outkast, Ice Cube, Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris.

1xtra's Semtex broadcast his Saturday Mixtape Show live from there at the weekend, and people like Nas passed through to say hi:

"It's really important. This is my first time coming through. It's something made by us, for us, by us. We get all of these artists here together to support each other, support the DJs, DJs support us. It's a recycle thing. So it's all love when it's like this."
