Diddy Music

Britney Spears and will.i.am are back with a remixed version of their hit "Scream & Shout" ... featuring Hit Boy, Waka Flocka Flame, Lil Wayne and Diddy!

While not nearly as catchy as the original, it doesn't lack for hip hop star power. Or Britney Spears and her British accent in a very short leather number.

Take a look below and see what you think ...

Yesterday, Eve courted controversy when she suggested that Britney does not actually appear on the song, a claim her camp vehemently denied.

Is that really Spears singing her part?

Jay-Z, Diddy and 50 Cent released "I Get Money (The Forbes 1-2-3 Billionaire Remix)" in '07, a celebration of their inclusion atop Forbes Hip-Hop Cash Kings list.

Five years later, the same three artists are in a more exclusive group - the Forbes Five, a list of hip-hop's wealthiest moguls - though no longer 1-2-3 in that order.

Which of the three earns the most? And who else made the Top 5?

Diddy is the closest to becoming a billionaire, with a net worth of $550 million. The Bad Boy Records founder has been a mainstream mainstay for 15 years.

Thanks to his knack for self-promotion and outside business deals with Ciroc vodka, Sean John, Enyce, Blue Flame and other tech startups, he gets money.

A lot of it. And he's not even done. Diddy signed a deal with Comcast to launch cable channel Revolt in 2013. He'll own the channel outright. Cha-ching.

Jay-Z is #2 at $460 million. Unlike his fellow Forbes Five members, he still churns out music and goes on tour, most recently with pal Kanye West.

He sold his Rocawear clothing label for $204 million in 2007, signed a 10-year $150M deal with Live Nation in 2008, and co-owns the New Jersey Nets.

There's also his 40/40 Club chain, his ad firm Translation, cosmetics company Carol's Daughter and other businesses too numerous to list. Very rich.

American Idol delivered a pair of contrasting, impressive performance on its first finalist results show of the season last night.

First, Adam Lambert went acoustic on an inspiring version of "Aftermath," receiving a standing ovation for his effort.

Then, Diddy Dirty Money (we think that's his name these days) took to the stage, accompanied by Skylar Grey, and gave the audience a version of the hit "Coming Home." He also gave the contestants some advice:

"I would say you get out of life what you put into it. You have to keep on practicing, keep on rehearsing... Keep God first in your life and don't stop. Don't ever stop."
