Sean "Diddy" Combs is a multi-millionaire mogul who leads a life most can only dream of. So why is he pissed off at a rinky-dink website that sells cufflinks?
We're told Diddy unleashed his big-time lawyers on a website called Cuff-Daddy.com, a small, family-owned cufflink seller. They fired off a letter telling them that the business' name was way too similar to his. Wait -- didn't he change his name to Diddy years ago?
We hear the business gets its name from the owner of the company -- he's just a proud dad who sells cufflinks.
The owner of the company tells us they are going to post a disclaimer on the site to minimize any confusion about the name. They also say they hope to resolve this with Diddy's lawyers as quickly as possible, and are in no way trading on his name-- they're just trying to run their small business.
Reps for Combs did not return our calls for comment.

LONDON (AP) -- He's still known as Diddy here, but Sean Combs will have to come up with another nickname when he does business in Britain.
Combs gave up the right to be called Diddy in the UK because another Diddy sued him. A music producer named Richard Dearlove is known as Diddy in Britain.
He sued Combs, saying there was room for only one Diddy in Britain. He complained to The Guardian newspaper that he was getting "e-mails from Puerto Rican girls," asking if they could be in his video.
He and Combs reached an out-of-court settlement. In addition to dropping the Diddy name, Combs has to pay what was described as "significant" damages, as well as Dearlove's court costs.

Celebrity fashionistas turned out in full regalia to celebrate the 2006 Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards in New York last night.
The ceremony is considered to be the Oscars of the fashion industry, honoring the best in the biz, and was hosted by 'Entourage' star Jeremy Piven. Piven joked that the reason they asked him was because "they couldn't find Vince Vaughn this morning."
Other stars dressed to the nines included Jessica Simpson, a brunette Scarlett Johansson, P. Diddy and a radiant in red Janet Jackson.
