To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence. The Jewelry Man.telling you life's real failure is not realizing how close you were to success when you gave up.

In "I'm swimming in success" news, the I can walk on water homey Sean "Diddy" Combs will be honored with a star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Oh really EbenGregory.Diddy is the man no?

Yes.

The Jewelry Man is informed that Combs was one of 200 nominations entered for the prestigious award and was among the 23 finalists selected to be honored with a terrazzo and brass star on Hollywood Boulevard in 2007.

Here's Diddy to AllHipHop.com on getting a Hollywood Star for preserving the sexy: That's just something you dream of, especially being from the East Coast. Being from New York, there's three things you know about Hollywood. You know about the Hollywood sign, you know about Sunset Strip and Hollywood Boulevard with the stars.

Diddy can't stop, won't stop.

Here's more Diddy to AllHipHop.com on getting a Hollywood Star for preserving the sexy: It's beyond my wildest dreams to think that one day I'm going to be walking down the street and walk past all the different great names, Sidney Poitier to Oprah Winfrey, to Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart.

Diddy's still going.

Here's more Diddy to AllHipHop.com on still being on top of his music game: We [Bad Boy] had to take our bumps and bruises and look at the Billboard charts. I have two records in the Top Ten [Yung Joc's "It's Goin' Down" and Cassie's "Me & U"] and on the Rhythmic Chart this week [we have] the number 1 and number 2 records with Cassie and Yung Joc. You know, we are talking about 12 years later [since Bad Boy was founded in 1993]. There were times over the last few years, cats was counting us out it's a big week.

That's nice.like being forced to watch your Pro-Active commercial again and again. And speaking of face cream.

Here's some jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Diddy getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: The best way to succeed in this world is to act on the advice you give to others.

And speaking of advice.try buying my 2 cents for a $1: MySpace.com/ebengregory.
