I’m sure the readers here are all savvy enough to know that rapper/actor/entrepreneur/wannabe Alan Sugar Sean ‘P.Diddy’ Combs ain’t scared of shit. A veteran of the mid-nineties Rap Wars, the onetime Puff Daddy made millions from reminding us that he’s a Bad Boy For Life, and with his reputation for unintentionally hilarious bust-ups in nightclubs, you get the feeling the dude could walk into a Mexican standoff armed only with a cucumber and still come out unscathed.

(Come to think of it, the most disturbing thing in this clip is her admission that she drinks Starbucks coffee. Isn’t that the sole preserve of effete East Coast elites and their terrorist chums? I mean, it’s hardly the drink of choice for a moose-hunting megamom from Main Street who’s so hard that she enjoys having helicopters to fly across Alaska, killing wolves and Russians.)
