New York, NY - Looks like the celebrities recruited to push the youth vote for Diddy's Citizen Change campaign didn't even bother to exercise their civic duty on November 2nd. It turns out that some of the "Vote or Die" campaigners were caught in a "Vote or Lie".

According to the "New York Daily News", early returns for Diddy's campaign indicated that 50 Cent and Ludacris didn't vote, and neither did Paris Hilton, all of whom appeared in print ads sporting the infamous "Vote or Die" t-shirt.

Voting records in New York, Georgia and California - where 50, Luda and Hilton have cribs - revealed that the three celebrities weren't even registered.

According to Citizen Change official Alexis McGill, the non-partisan organization tried its best to make sure their endorsers voted on Election Day.

"Citizen Change contacted every celebrity's representative and was told by each and every one that celebrities participating in our campaign were registered to vote," McGill told the "Daily News."

Another Citizen Change insider added, "All the celebrities' managers confirmed that they were going to register if they hadn't already. We have to take the managers at their word. We have no business checking up on them, especially because none of the celebs got paid."

Fifty may not have been eligible to vote, being a convicted felon and all, but Luda's publicist, Bianca Bianconi, insists the rapper did participate in the election.

"I just got off the phone with Ludacris and he said he absolutely mailed his absentee ballot last week in Fulton County, Georgia," Bianconi told the paper.

50 Cent could've voted if all of his parole time has been served...

Why don't more people who are ex-cons know that they can still vote?

Anyway...I hope Luda did vote, man...

**Looks at my poster with 50 wearing the Vote or Die shirt** That is really messed up considering the fact they were all a part of the whole Citizen Change thing. I hope this isn't true and that they all voted, especially after urging everyone else to let their voices be heard.
