By Rob Markman At the height of his career Shyne was signed to a deal under Diddy's label Bad Boy Records, but things went sour when the "Bad Boyz" rapper had to serve an almost nine-year sentence in prison after assault and gun possession charges that stemmed from a club shooting in New York in 1999. Diddy was also charged in the incident but he was later acquitted leaving Shyne to sit still behind bars. Now, Shyne has buried the hatchet with Sean Combs. In a Skype call from Paris with MTV News on Tuesday (January 17), Shyne revealed that he and Diddy recently talked over the phone and plan to meet in the coming weeks. "As far as Puff is concerned, that's been a long time coming," Shyne exclusively told MTV News of the conversation he and the Bad Boy CEO had earlier this month. "He had reached out to me twice while I was in the pen, but I just wasn't ready for it." The Shyne we see today is a far cry from the suited-up, oversize-baseball-cap-wearing youth that the world watched strut in and out of court during his 2000 trial. Now Shyne — who legally changed his name to Moses Levi while he was in prison and has practiced Judaism for a number of years — wears a white robe with the Star of David on the chest and the long side curls often associated with Hasidic Jews. The rapper's physical appearance isn't the only difference: Over the years, Po hasn't talked about Puff in the most positive breath, often criticizing the music mogul and calling him a snitch during and after the Club New York trial. "I felt how I felt, I said what I said. In retrospect, when you looked at the way he handled it, he held it down, he wore it," Shyne said of Diddy. "He ain't had nothing to say; always had good things to say. It was always, 'Yo, whatever Shyne need, we got him.' " During his incarceration, Shyne wasn't ready to reconcile, but after he had a dream about their mutual friend Anthony "Wolf" Jones, he reached out to Diddy. "Our relationship wasn't just business; it wasn't me just being a rapper on Bad Boy. We had a solid relationship, we had a brotherhood, me, him and Wolf, and I just felt the need to just reach out, because again, he just kept it tall no matter what I said," Shyne explained. Shyne wouldn't elaborate on the details of his and Combs' conversation, but he did walk away from the call in a much more positive place. "For me, the conversation was a confirmation of what I felt. Son kept it super tall, and that's what it's about. When a man says, 'Listen, as a man, I make mistakes and I own that.' What could you do?" Well what can they do? Surely the two can get back into the studio, but Shyne didn't dish on any new musical developments. He did reveal that the two plan to have a second conversation, this time in person. "I just feel real good about moving on with our relationship. Me and son, we gonna get together in Paris — I'm in Paris right now. We gonna get together in a couple of weeks, and we gonna sit at the roundtable." What do you think of Shyne and Diddy's reconciliation? Let us know in the comments!

It's time we moved past the whole "With great power comes great responsibility" thing. It totally ruins all the fun you could have with superpowers. In "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/476315/moviemain.jhtml"]Chronicle[/url]," a new found-footage film about three teenage boys who acquire superpowers, we learn what happens when superheroes forget responsibility and focus more on having a good time.

(A quick Google search tells them this is called "telekinesis.") In the clip above, the guys play around with their new abilities, some yard equipment and an unlucky girl's skirt. Over the course of the movie, the gang's powers advance, and so do their egos. As they drift further and further toward super villain territory, Uncle Ben's old adage proves wiser and wiser. Though the film doesn't hit theaters until next month, "Chronicle" has already started to generate the right kind of buzz. The makers of the film previewed some footage for journalists in LA a few weeks ago, and the response was generally positive. And just today, Variety reported that director Josh Trank is now the [url="http://splashpage.mtv.com/2012/01/17/fantastic-four-reboot-chronicle-director-josh-trank/"]front runner to reboot the "Fantastic Four" franchise[/url].

"John Carter's" valiant quest for MTV Movie Brawl 2012 supremacy has finally come to an end, after rounds and rounds of the Taylor Kitsch-led movie surpassing expectations and cracking into the Elite Eight. Alas, in the end, it was no match for the top-ranked "Hunger Games," which continues on its expected path towards the final round. Tributes have had an easier time in the brawl for it all than most competitors, but the "Hunger Games" may have finally met its match in the form of a former boy wizard.

Rihanna appeared in the fall/winter ads for Emporio Armani Underwear in September 2011, sporting a cropped blonde hairstyle, and the spread was voted “sexiest of the year” by AdAge magazine. For Armani’s upcoming season, however, Rihanna went with a different look, sporting longer dark hair instead. And although her hair changes, the idea remains the same, as the 23-year-old star strips down to the bare essentials once again. Rihanna Caught On Camera Smoking Weed In Hawaii Again Over the past couple of years Rihanna’s been working hard at shattering the image of herself as a squeaky clean popstar. In addition to her raunchy sex anthems like “S&M,” the “We Found Love” singer was also snapped smoking weed in Hawaii over the weekend. She didn’t try to be coy about it either, dropping hints all over her Twitter account.

At this month's Sundance Independent Film Festival, 2 Live Crew's [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/985677/personmain.jhtml"]Luther Campbell[/url] will star in a short film probably unlike anything you've ever seen before.

The story line strays from fact in many, many places, but none is more notable than the nuclear fallout Miami suffers after a reactor explodes, leaving Uncle Luke as the sole survivor. Director Jillian Mayer used her signature art style and cardboard cutouts to give "Uncle Luke" a look of its very own. [url="http://www.mtv.com/videos/?vid=725823"]According to the trailer[/url], the film is based on Chris Marker's monumental short film "La Jetée," which served as the basis for Terry Gilliam's "12 Monkeys."

By Nadeska Alexis Kobe Bryant’s new ad series for Nike is nothing short of entertaining. The Lakers star player enlists some of the biggest names across music and sports to promote his new sneakers, including Kanye West, Serena Williams, Aziz Ansari, United States Men's National Team soccer player Landon Donovan and even billionaire Richard Branson. In the comical ad, Kobe enters the room via a rising platform and eventually ends up facing a room full of the aforementioned stars, college lecture style. Kobe then launches into his motivational speech on how to get on top of the game. "The Kobe System is about adaptation: attacking fast and strong," he says. "How do you know when you're in the Kobe System? Look at your feet. How do you use the system? Listen to me." Between a reel of some of Bryant’s most memorable plays, Aziz Ansari adds a bit of humor and Kanye West even interrupts with a question, asking, “What if you’re really successful?” Kobe’s answer: “You’re welcome.” Are you down with the Kobe System?

After the release of its first trailer, the news of "Prometheus" [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/12/22/prometheus-teaser-trailer/"]being a slight[/url] "Alien" prequel is more or less an open secret. Thankfully, the filmmakers [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/12/27/prometheus-trailer-damon-lindelof/"]haven't tried to pretend[/url] otherwise. [img]http://moviesblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/prometheus_wide.jpg[/img] A newly released screenshot finds "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" star Noomi Rapace in the corridor of a space ship, alone except for the pair of shadowy [url="http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Space_Jockey"]space jockeys[/url] standing right behind her. It's yet another piece of the puzzle, one the filmmakers have said will be revealed in due time. Speaking to the [i][url="http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2012/01/14/prometheus-damon-lindelof-ridley-scott-photos-alien-prequel/"]Los Angeles Times[/url][/i], Lindelof emphasized the film's ambition. "The movie is definitely epic in its scope. One of the filmmakers that we ended up talking about to a fair degree of redundancy was David Lean, who directed 'Lawrence of Arabia,'" he said. "We wanted to make the movie feel big by having the characters be small in big spaces. That connected to the larger themes we were talking about — that we’re all just these little gnats crawling around on our little planet." [img]http://moviesblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/hobbit_sting.jpg[/img] On the other side of the spectrum is "The Hobbit," which [url="http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2012/01/14/the-hobbit-an-unexpected-journey-new-photo-peter-jackson-martin-freeman/"]released a still[/url] of Bilbo Baggins holding his signature sword, Sting, from deep inside of a mountain (either the one where he meets Gollum or the one where he fights Smaug; it's been a while since we brushed up on our Tolkien).
