Diddy to the Rescue!

--The music and fashion mogul plans to launch a car service that will pick up tipsy (drunk) celebrities and drive them home.  Diddy says, he's "making sure nobody gets arrested". 

Awww, maybe Diddy should go back to being called "Daddy".   Just kidding.  Great idea, P.Diddy!  You have to give it to him...he's one enterprising man.   

Hopefully, this will save lives and spare us all from those horrible celeb mugshots.
