Did He Get a Star?
Sean Diddy Combs was honored with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, watched by famous friends including Russell Simmons, Jamie Fox, and pimpin' Don "Magic" Juan. Every celebrity in attendance brought their own entourage, and it resulted in there being more security muscle than at your average airport terminal. An enormous bunch of helium-filled white balloons was distributed among the crowd shortly before Diddy's arrival, with instructions to release them into the air when the star was unveiled. Unfortunately the balloons were of the cheap, thin latex kind, which when combined with the sun beating down on them made them periodically explode. And every time a balloon popped, I swear 40 people dropped to the ground screaming. It made for an oddly punctuated acceptance speech.
