www.ni- tardyfuneralhome.com. Combs denies report that associates set up '94 Tupac attack By Sandy Cohen ASSOCIATED PRESS James Geary Moises da Silva Lynchburg, Portugal, died 13, 2008). Moises da Silva Martins the Roanoke Charity to assist the and final ex- Dec. 12, 1985, in LOS ANGELES- Sean "Diddy" Combs has denied a report by the Los Angeles Times that his associates were responsible for the 1994 robbery and shooting of Tupac Shakur at a New York recording studio, and that he knew about the attack in advance. "The story is a lie," the hiphop mogul said in a statement Monday.

"It is beyond ridiculous and completely false. Neither (the late rapper Notorious B.I.G.) nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened. I am shocked that the Los Angeles Times would be so irresponsible as to publish such a baseless and completely untrue story." The 1994 shooting triggered the celebrated feud between East and West Coast rappers that led to the killings of Shakur and B.I.G. The Times said its story was based on FBI records, interviews with people at the scene of the 1994 shooting, and statements to the FBI by an informant. None of the sources were named.

The story said that Combs who was overseeing B.I.G.'s white-hot career at the time and others lured Shakur to the studio because of his disrespect toward them. The story said that talent manager James Rosemond and promoter James Sabatino arranged the assault. They and Combs declined to be interviewed for the story, which appeared on the Los Angeles Times Web site but not in its paper publication. It was not clear why the story, written by Chuck Philips, was only published online. Telephone and e-mail to the Times were not immediately returned.

Rosemond called the story a "libelous piece of "In the past 14 years, have not even been questioned by law enforcement with regard to the assault of Tupac Shakur, let alone brought up on charges," he said in a statement. "Chuck Philips, the writer has reached a new low by employing fourth-hand information from desperate jailhouse informants along with ancient FBI reports to create this fabrication. I simply ask for all rap fans and fans of Tupac to analyze this fiction for what it is." Mariah Carey: 'I understand people think I am a ditzy moron' Jerry Terrill ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Mariah Carey knows her indisputable talent clashes with her sexedup image as a "ditz." "It's a dichotomy, I understand," the 37-year-old Grammy winner tells Allure magazine. "I understand that people think I am a ditzy moron." The singer who was treated for exhaustion in 2001 after a public meltdown says she still struggles with her confidence. "I've always had really low self-esteem, and I still do," she says.

"What's weird about that is being onstage, and the love that you get, and the adoration that you feel from your real fans. It's hard for a partner to compete just imagine." Carey and ex-husband Tommy Mottola, the former chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment, divorced in 1997. She has described that relationship as controlling and "I had to make a decision: either lose myself completely or learn to stand up for myself. You have to be very courageous to do that." She says she'd marry again preferably, to someone who knows where she's coming from. "That's a big deal for me: feeling like somebody else can't fully understand me because they're not in show business.

It shouldn't matter, but it does, because the energy it takes to be 'on' is a lot," she says. Carey's latest album, EMC2, arrives April 15. Her previous album, "The Emancipation of Mimi," has sold 10 million copies. The April issue of Allure hits newsstands nationwide on March 25.

Brunkert lived in the coastal apartment complex of Betlem in the municipality of Arta, in the eastern part of Mallorca. Brunkert had lived in Arta for around 20 years.
