Puffy starting chauffeur service for drunken celebrities

Once in a while, some celebrity comes up with some really great but really obvious idea. Okay rarely does that actually happen. But there certainly are a few exceptionally entrepreneurial celebs out there – and Sean “Puffy” Combs is one of the biggest. Puffy was on Jimmy Kimmel’s show the night, and said he’s starting a chauffeur service for drunken celebrities, to keep them off the road. It’s hard to tell if he’s joking or not – Kimmel seems to think he’s teasing, but Puffy seems to be talking seriously. He stole my idea, but whatever. If it keeps Lindsay Lohan off the streets, I’m fine with it.

As he mentioned in the clip, P-whatever-name-he’s-calling-himself got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, and told people that he’s ready to make his way into acting.

“I think that it’s important for me to mature and evolve as an artist,” Combs tells PEOPLE at the From Harlem to Hollywood! ceremony honoring his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “I’m trying to get my Black Bruce Willis on.”

Despite being accustomed to A-list treatment, he’s looking forward to starting at the bottom of the acting totem pole. “I’m trying to get Michael Bay to shoot me, have a hot soundtrack,” Combs said, “But I also realize I have a lot of work to do as an actor and I gotta prove myself.”

I think “I’m trying to get my Black Bruce Willis on” is one of the single greatest quotes I’ve heard in months. Say what you want about the guy, he’s the personification of the entrepreneurial spirit. And pretty soon, he may be saving lives – and dozens of celebrities from jail time. Except for Screech. But I think we’re all okay with that.

    wow. a famous personality talking of learning the craft of acting and starting at the bottom. i’m awestruck. he’ll never fit in in hollywood, where the road to fabulousness is paved with sex tapes and an attitude of “gimme!” 😉

    Uh….. no. If you sing, don’t act. If you can act- don’t sing. Be happy with the obscene level of luxury that’s been given to you for having a marketable talent. I would say ‘real talent’ but those people are few and far between. Hollywood is all about who sells tickets and fills theaters, regardless of genuine ability.

    “A chauffeur service for drunken celebrities…”

    Um, would that not be what us non-celebrities call a taxi service? Which, btw, us mere mortals have been happily and sensibly using for years – without any prompting from celebrities – when we’ve had a few over the limit.

    Excellent use of his time, coming up with a solution for a problem that already has an existing solution and isn’t in fact a problem at all. 🙄

    How many times has this guy changed his name??? Its so immature, like a little kid who can’t decide on what they want to be called.

    It irritates me when he’s referred to as a hip-hop artist or even as a rapper (yes, there’s a difference) when he doesn’t even write his own lyrics. Being a rapper with a ghostwriter is sort of like being a chef and having someone else make the food while you take all credit for it.
