Nothing screams “Masterpiece Theatre” like … Diddy. He’s totally classy! This afternoon, the rapper claimed via Twitter that he is joining the cast of British period drama “Downton Abbey” as a series regular.

Fortunately for that guy, that seems to be the case. Daily Beast TV critic Jace Lacob says PBS denies Diddy’s claim:
A PBS spokesperson says the Diddy #DowntonAbbey news is “simply not true.” (Not that there was any doubt.)

That’s a shame. Something tells us we’ll have really missed out on something really special.
Breaking: @iamdiddy's new Downton Abbey character is a water skier who specializes in jumping over sharks. #ShowsOver
