NEW YORK - P. Diddy is back to "Making the Band" — this time, with all women. For three seasons, P. Diddy — aka Sean Combs — developed the now disbanded hip-hop ensemble Da Band in the show's second incarnation.

During the first season of "Making the Band 2," Puffy and his Bad Boy Entertainment team searched the country to construct the music group while the second and third seasons chronicled Da Band on the road and in the studio. But Da Band received da ax at the end of the third season when P. Diddy disbanded the group.


"We watched P. Diddy work magic with his last group Da Band, who despite their issues working together, still managed to take their very first album gold," said MTV Series Entertainment Executive Vice President Lois Curren. "We can't wait to see what he has in store for us as he forms a girl group in a whole new music genre."


This won't be P. Diddy's first time crafting an all-girl pop group. He was the mastermind behind Dream, a pop quartet who sang the hit "He Loves Me Not."


Auditions for singers and musicians for the as-yet-unnamed group are scheduled for the first two weeks in October in Los Angeles, Miami and New York City.


The third installment of "Making the Band" will premiere next year.

Or on the European charts. I could have sworn they released a second album...maybe it just came out over there, or even more likely, in Japan.

Da Band disbanded? Already? Didn't that album come out late last year. It was a hit for a week then faded away? Somebody has even more credibility issues than before!

I'm all about a Total reuinion! P. Diddy, make that happen. Welcome them back!
