"I'm Trying to Get My Black Bruce Willis On"

E! Online, May 3, 2008 1:00 pm PDT
That's what Diddy told People this week while celebrating getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

We've been constantly impressed by shape-shifting entrepreneur Diddy as he's moved from multi-named record producer to hip-hop star to party monster to fashion designer to actor and several other things we've probably forgotten.

And now, we salute his ambition to put in all the hard work necessary to become a movie star. He seems to be able to do it all. Our only qualm is with him getting racial all up in our facial, though he's clearly having fun with the idea. Because, pigmentation aside, being the next Diddy is a doozy in its own right.

Besides, we have a sneaking suspicion that Bruce Willis may want to be the black Bruce Willis. And he's got first dibs.
