Peaches Geldof caught buying cocaine
London (ANI): Sir Bob Geldof's daughter Peaches has been caught on tape buying drugs from Amy Winehouse's alleged drug dealer. Peaches, who has always denied using cocaine like her tragic mum Paula Yates, was viewed on the same video in which Winehouse was caught snorting crack. She was recorded on the secret video camera as handing the drug pusher up to 190 pounds and asking for another fix the next day. "I'm going to need Valium tomorrow after this," News of the World quoted her as saying. Even though she had vowed never to go the same way as her mother, the video shows the 19-year-old doing otherwise. She will be questioned by the police this week. According to reports, the video footage will come as a hammer blow to Peaches dad Sir Bob, who has said he would "go f*****g ballistic" if his daughter sets off down the same drugs road that killed her mum.

Review: 'A Raisin in the Sun'
Emmy Watch: Longform had a good year
The debate raged on Sean Combs' MySpace page last week. Was he changing his name or not? And what would we call him? Diddy, P. Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy? Good names all, but Combs sets the record straight in Part I of THR.com Editor Melissa Grego's exclusive three-part video interview.
Besides his ever-changing aliases, the "A Raisin in the Sun" star, entertainer and entrepreneur waxes poetic over his moniker, how he wound up with the "Raisin" role and his Emmy chances.
Pick up a copy of Thursday's Hollywood Reporter for an excerpt from the interview in print and stay tuned online for a full-length transcript as well as Parts II and III of the video. Will his next role be action hero or music great? And has he started recording music again?

Universal Music Group (UMG) and Last.fm Partner for Music Videos
Last.fm to Feature Thousands of Videos Free-On-Demand from UMG
Chart-topping Artists Including Jay-Z, Nirvana and Amy Winehouse, Among
Many Others
NEW YORK, June 17 -- Universal Music Group, the world's
leading music company, and Last.fm, the fast-growing free global music Web
site, today announced a new partnership that will make UMG's music video
catalogue available for free-on-demand streaming to users of Last.fm. The
deal, which marks Last.fm's first major video partnership, will bring
thousands of high-quality music videos to the Last.fm community. As part of
this agreement, Universal Music and its artists will receive revenue for
every UMG video streamed.
Starting today, Last.fm users will be able to view thousands of
full-length music videos from UMG's market-leading catalogue of
chart-topping artists, which includes Jay-Z, Nirvana, Amy Winehouse, The
Killers, Duffy, Snow Patrol and Kanye West, among many others. The latest
UMG videos can be found on Last.fm at
http://www.last.fm/music/+charts/video.
The addition of UMG content provides a massive boost to Last.fm's
unrivaled online music video offering which launched last year.
Additionally, Last.fm's scrobbling technology will help users engage with
the UMG content in a more personalised manner by recommending new videos
according to users' individual music taste.
Martin Stiksel, Last.fm co-founder, said: "This is a hugely empowering
partnership that really takes Last.fm to the next level. We want to offer a
video library that rivals our unparalleled music catalogue, as we work
towards Last.fm becoming the only place you need to go to for all
music-related content, and this deal marks the first step towards that
goal. Universal Music has the richest and most extensive music video
collection in the world, and the addition of that content to Last.fm brings
us closer to being able to offer the most rewarding personalised music
video experience for music fans anywhere."
Rob Wells, Senior Vice President, Digital, Universal Music Group
International, commented, "Our relationship with Last.fm is evolving. The
use of Universal Music videos on the Last.fm platform is a great
opportunity for both consumers and artists, with the latter earning
revenues from every video played on the service. Video streaming services
are an increasingly important source of income, and it's great to have
another new partner on board, tapping into this rich revenue stream."
The Universal video content will be ad-supported, in the same manner as
Last.fm's pioneering free-on-demand service which launched in January. As
part of the FOD offering, artists, labels and copyright holders receive a
share of revenue from the ads displayed next to their content. In its first
month offering UMG videos, Last.fm will be marking the partnership by
highlighting the Universal video catalogue exclusively on the site.
