Pharrell. Nosssirr... Diddy Duet with Keyshia Cole - 3:22 p.m.

It may have been a repeat from last week because Christina Milian was there to talk about Pulse, as was Will Ferrell's buddy from Talladega nights. In any case, Pharrell was the musical guest. He sang "Number One." It had to be the lamest, most uninspiring performance I've seen since.. um, Cherish performed on Regis and Kelly. He's ultra-casual in shorts and a polo shirt. Smirking confidently, clapping his hands and doing a side to side, two step.. "' sing along.. number one.. classic.. " Sounding like Eddie Murphy in Coming to America - remember the Jehri Curls, Sexual Chocolate?

Talladega Nights guy was looking from offstage in disbelief. You know it was his first time hearing the song. He's probably thinking this guy is on Jay's show, he must be good.. yup, good and terrible.

"Number One" isn't a bad song.. but a true singer, Pharrell is not.

Produce, experiment with the N.E.R.D.S., but do not shoot to sound like the "Just Got Paid, It's Friday Night" guy.

Self-confidence will get you everything, even when it isn't necessary.

Now the artist formerly known as Puff Daddy is talking about his singing debut. His admiration of Keyshia Cole's Mary J like struggle has resulted in a duet with her called "Last Night" on his new album. That's right, the man is singing. Unless the album is leaked, you won't hear it in advance. That's a deal breaker right there.

Or a deal maker? Give him the benefit of doubts being misguided. Maybe he can teach Pharrell a few things.

You can only hope he's so good it branches out into a full fledged album. Dapped out in his Frank Sinatra suit singing Luther's classics. "Diddy Croons in St. Tropez"
