Sean "Diddy" Combs is many things, but tactful is not one of them. Take for instance Diddy's post-Oscar party brawl with a man named with Gerard Rechnitzer. Not very tactful, was it?

The victim sure didn't think so. Rechnitzer filed assault and battery charges against the rapper back in March. So far, he's been unable to produce evidence of the crime, but all of that might change now that Rechnitzer's lawyer has requested photographs of the rings Diddy wore on the night in question.

The motion filed in Los Angeles Superior Court stated Rechnitzer's position: "Needless to say, Combs does not wear simple rings. The rings he wore when he struck [Rechnitzer] are important and critical to the biomechanics of this case."

Are we talking about bling-shaped bruises? Or maybe pear-cut diamond slashes?

All I know is that this is starting to sound a lot like a bad episode of CSI Miami.
