NO HE DIDDY! As P. Diddy announces his plan to run the upcoming NY marathon -- with an abbreviated training schedule no less -- I'm reminded of other similar lame-brained stunts. Confused pugilist Riddick Bowe once joined the Marines, only to leave a week or so into boot camp. And recently deceased rock god Joe Strummer reportedly ran the Paris Marathon while on the lam from his label.

Judging by a NEW YORKER profile of the Did-ster I read sometime last year, he'll have to cut down on his alcohol intake and amp up the water if he plans to actually finish. Nonetheless, since this stunt is all about charity (and not even the least bit about free pub), here's hoping Sean bling-blings his way across the finish line.
