Say what you like about P Diddy's parties, but they were certainly memorable – for those 'privileged' enough to make it onto the strict invitation list at least.
If not just for the debauchery, which was on a scale to shame Caligula, attendees also couldn't fail to be dazzled by the sheer number of A-listers who would throng the billionaire music mogul's mansion.
There appears to have been no limit to the wealth of stellar contacts P Diddy – real name Sean Combs – could attract to his gatherings.
Take one particular bash in the spring of 2008 at Combs's house in the Hollywood Hills. The attendees included musicians Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Mel B and Lionel Richie; actors Ben Stiller, Ashton Kutcher and Denzel Washington; socialites Nicole Richie, Paris and Nicky Hilton; and tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams.
'And they were just the ones I recognised,' says my contact, a Hollywood insider, who prefers to remain anonymous, and attended this extraordinary party as the plus one of a friend of the host himself.
Fascinatingly, my contact paints a rather ominous picture of Combs – whose fortune is founded on everything from record sales to perfume and clothing brands – in party mode.
'He wasn't having fun, it was more like he was orchestrating events for everyone else,' the source says. 'He spent quite a lot of time sitting on a half-moon-shaped couch with his crew, just staring at the other guests. There was an air of menace. Lots of people there knew what he could be like . . .'
Or at least they do now.
The picture my contact paints comes in a week where the events at Combs's parties are being thrown into newly sharp focus, with many allegations emerging of rapes, abuse and coercion.

Yeah, once was enough for me. A darned shame what they did to that dog.
The best part of the evening for me was when we gathered around the fire and made s’mores and sang Kumbaya. We are talking about the same party, right?
If you're a billionaire, you SHOULD have a bail-out position for when the corrupt US government comes after you.
Disappointed to see Denzel Washington attended. But then, I hear Combs had parties, and then had “parties”.
Trump also had a picture taken with Diddy, but I don’t think it was at one of those parties.
It was at the DNC years ago, if I recall.
And for the rest of us:
Hillary was in attendance
Rumors are going around about Obama being at some parties. The gay male prostitutes would be a favorite for him. They probably played the song It’s Raining Men for him.
Yeah, wonder which politicians they’re protecting by doing a raid and seizing the evidence.
Yes, that nails it for me.
Similar to Epstein in that regard.
‘He wasn’t having fun, it was more like he was orchestrating events for everyone else,’“
Steve Rubell of Studio 54 infamy was the same.

“...The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Everyone that attended probably had baby oil all over just from the handshakes...
CIA? operations?
Epstein for politicians
Sean Combs for entertainers.
Hugh Hefner for entertainers and politicians.
All had cameras to record everything...
Facebook and Twitter and Google and Android and Apple etc. for everyone else.
