Like you, The Smoking Gun was not invited to Sean "Puffy" Combs's gala 29th birthday party in New York City. The invitation to the November 4 event came in the form of a short video tape delivered to Combs's nearest and dearest. On the tape, a cavalcade of cloying celebrities make cameos plugging the bash and saluting the artist also know as Puff Daddy, PD, Bad Boy, Puff, and P Diddy (our favorite).
While we would love to offer this entire video--a massive ego trip by the rap impresario--our server could not handle the stress. So you'll have to settle for excerpts from Puffy's vanity production, a copy of which was given to us by one appalled invitee. But remember,you are not invited! So don't RSVP to Icon Lifestyle Marketing at (212) 929-3800 to find out the secret party location. (Hint: The bash is at Cipriani's, 55 Wall Street, NYC)
