Sean “Diddy” Combs has taken on the boardroom, the streets and the stage. Now, he’s heading towards the kitchen. The Bad Boy head has his eyes on a new television show for April.
Celebrity Cooking Showdown is the brainchild of the rap mogul, who’s also had success with his other shows, Making the Band 2 &3.
Tom Arnold, Ashley Parker Angel (of O-Town), and Ja Rule have signed on as guests for the contest. It will be hosted by Alan Thicke and Sandra Lee.
The show will air April 17 on NBC.
With a major rap icon hits the kitchen, an independent rap sensation hits the road. Murs will go on tour to support his project with 9th Wonder, Murray’s Revenge.
