More from the P Diddy legal files, this time an update in relation to allegations made by one Gerald Rechnitzer that the hip hopper roughed him up outside a Hollywood club back in February. Rechnitzer says Diddy - real name Sean Combs, of course - attacked him without provocation. Combs was pissed off, it is claimed, because Rechnitzer's girlfriend had knocked back his advances. Rechnitzer's legal people had asked the courts to order Combs to provide photos of the rings he was wearing the night the alleged fracas took place because they say they were "critical to the biomechanics of this case", presumably because if the rings could be shown to have caused marks on the plaintiff there'd be proof of Diddy's involvement in his attack. But Judge Robert Hess refused to make that order, allowing Combs to keep his rings to himself. Combs legal people, meanwhile, have said Rechnitzer's claims are a "flat out lie".
As previously reported, there have been a number of legal stories involving Combs this week - a New York promoter has accused his bodyguards of attacking him, while a James Sabatino has claimed the hip hop mogul has reneged on an agreement to pay him for a Notorious BIG recording from way back in 1004.
