On Monday, Fortune magazine announced its "Diversity 2005" issue, which includes a list of the most influential African-American in business, sports, politics, academia, and the arts. In no particular order, Fortune identified those trendsetters who excel in their respective arena. Those noted include Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, 35.
Listed as a "Hitmaker," Diddy was credited for winning the Council of Designers of America's Menswear Designer of the Year award for his Sean John clothing line last year. Diddy also earned his spot on the list with help from his HBO show -The Bad Boys of Comedy; MTV’s Making The Band series, and by the monumental sale of half of his Bad Boy Entertainment to Warner Music Group. Jay-Z, 35, made the list as an "Artist In Residence." Reportedly worth $300 million, Rocawear, a watch deal with Audemars Piguet and a shoe deal with Reebok put the Def Jam President on the list. Russell Simmons, CEO of Rush Communications was noted as a "Brand Father” after selling his Phat Fashions clothing for a reported $140 million last year and distributing 500,000 Rush Prepaid Visa cards in 18 months.
Also making the list was Earving "Magic" Johnson, Oprah Winfrey and BET President Debra L. Lee. The issue hits newsstands August 15.
Bravo has announced that it is adding an extra two episodes of "Being Bobby Brown," the chronicle of life with the R&B singer and wife Whitney Houston that was originally slated to run eight episodes. The new shows will take viewers inside the stars' homes in Atlanta and New Jersey, with the clip-show finale airing August 25.
