On Saturday night, the NY Daily News reports that Diddy was on a mission to throw his son Justin Dior the ultimate Sweet Sixteen.
Spies at the M2 Ultralounge bash say the music mogul almost got into an altercation with a publicist early in the evening, when the flack tried to get in some personal business time with him.
"Diddy was yelling about how it was his son's birthday and not a night to talk about work," a partygoer dishes.
But the minidrama couldn't take away from the extravagant fete or Justin's spotlight: Diddy had his eldest son sit above the packed crowd on a throne that was on the stage, all while MTV cameras rolled for an upcoming episode of "My Super Sweet Sixteen."
And the line-up of performers wasn't too shabby, either. The crowd reportedly went wild when the likes of Fabolous, Lil' Kim and Jim Jones took to the stage to perform.
Diddy also didn't skimp on the gifts. He presented Justin with a brand-new silver Maybach (which sat outside the W. 28th St. hot spot wrapped in a red bow) and a uniformed driver to escort him around New York City — because, at 16, Justin is just now learning how to drive.
In a smaller — but just as exorbitant — package: Diddy gave his son a check for a cool $10,000, which we hear the miniphilanthropist has decided to donate to Yele Haiti.
And while the kids were having good, clean fun downstairs, the celebrities that attended the fete retreated to a private upstairs section for a more adultlike experience.
Elin Nordegren pretended to be him while she tapped out a tawdry text to her rival, Rachel Uchitel, a new report says.
"I miss you," Elin Nordegren wrote. "When are we seeing each other again?"
After Uchitel texted back, Nordegren called her on the phone.
When she answered, the angry wife reportedly said, "I knew it was you."
"Oh, f---," a stunned Uchitel reportedly replied and hung up.
Citing two sources close to Woods' angry wife, Gerald Posner, a reporter for The Daily Beast Web site, presented the first in-depth account of what happened moments before the world's best golfer crashed his SUV into a tree on Nov. 27 - and totaled his carefully crafted family man image.
Posner reported Nordegren was so angry that she grabbed a golf club and chased her philandering husband out of their Florida mansion.
Since then, Woods has been unmasked as a serial cheater with a harem of hotties and is now being treated for sex addiction at a Mississippi clinic.
Woods, according to Posner, was aware that the National Enquirer was about to blow the lid off his alleged affair with Uchitel and warned Nordegren on the day before Thanksgiving that the exposé was about to land.
The golfer told Nordegren that he and Uchitel were just friends. He even put the New York party girl on the phone with his wife to reassure her.
When Nordegren learned that the Enquirer was reporting that Tiger and Uchitel had a romantic rendezvous in Australia, she confronted the golfer.
Rather than fight, Woods took an Ambien and hit the hay, the report says.
It was while her husband was snoozing that Nordegren started snooping through Woods' cell phone and discovered his text messages to Uchitel's number, including one that read, "You are the only one I've loved."
After Nordegren confirmed her suspicions about Uchitel, she hunted down her husband and screamed him out of his sleeping pill-induced stupor, Posner reported.
Woods quickly grabbed his phone, locked himself in a bathroom and texted Uchitel a warning.
According to Posner, Woods wrote that his wife knew about the affair, that he was packing his clothes - and that his marriage might be over.
When Woods emerged, Nordegren pounced - punching him in the chest and arms with her fists and then grabbing the golf club, Posner reported.
A terrified Woods fled the mansion in his bare feet and roared off in the SUV - and into infamy.
TMZ is reporting that Moore was placed on Cobb County’s Most Wanted list after he was accused of breaking both of his infant daughter’s arms, one leg, three ribs and a collarbone.
The reality show vet told TMZ that he is not the “monster” he appears to be, and denies beating his daughter.
“Moore claims the only thing he should be held accountable for is the broken wrist his daughter suffered when she fell out of her bed in July while under his care,” the site reported. “As for his daughter’s other reported injuries, Moore claims the damage was not caused under his watch.
“Moore insists he never intended to run from the situation — he claims he just wanted to ‘get everything in order’ before turning himself in.”
Moore is being held on $20,000 bail.
“When you hear people say life goes on, it’s really the truth. You can’t stop living. It becomes a part of you. I feel a bit selfish because there are times I feel I shouldn’t be doing this, but I enjoy my work and I have to keep doing it. I have to keep my life going. There are days that are harder than others.”
Benoit Denizet-Lewis, who has written extensively about his own sex addiction, wrote on his personal blog Monday that a source confirmed Woods' stay at the clinic. Denizet-Lewis, who interviewed staff and patients at the center for his book America Anonymous: Eight Addicts in Search of a Life, notes that Gentle Path's program "is directed by Patrick Carnes, one of the world's leading experts on sex addiction." The treatment center would not confirm the identity of any of its patients.
The official website for Pine Grove says that the Gentle Path program is "for those suffering from sexual addiction, relationship addiction and sexual anorexia."
Denizet-Lewis speculates that Woods, 34, may have begun his sex addiction treatment elsewhere -- such as the Meadows treatment center in Arizona, where the golfer had allegedly also been spotted.
In other Tiger news we hear that Tiger may be ready for a golf comeback.

Sergeant Brad Finucan of the Waterloo Regional Police's Criminal Investigations branch reports that Banks (real name: Christopher Lloyd) and three associates got into a dispute with the promoter at a local hotel over payment for performance and an appearance fee. The promoter's name was withheld by police.
The promoter alleged that early Saturday morning the lyricist and three associates — Nicklas Sloane, Shawn McGee, and Tyrell Cooper — held him in his hotel room against his will, assaulted and robbed him. All four men were charged with forceful confinement, aggravated assault and robbery. The four made a video court appearance on Sunday afternoon (January 10) and are due to appear in court again early this week. They remained in police custody at press time.
Banks was last arrested on gun-possession charges in New York in August of 2005 after G-Unit's appearance during the Anger Management 3 tour at New York's Madison Square Garden. Young Buck, Banks and their entourages were traveling in a van when their vehicle was pulled over in Manhattan for allegedly running a red light. Upon inspection, two guns were found.
GV Says: Shaking my head at all the drama that had to occur for her to release a statement about her family. After watching the "Frankie and Neffe" show, I'd say it's for the better.To all my friends and fans – It’s time that I clear the air. It’s not a secret that I haven’t been in contact with my mother Frankie, and my sisters Neffe and Elite and I never wanted to air out our differences to the public. While I won’t go into detail here I find it necessary to let you guys know I decided to stop communication with them because I was at a point in my life where I needed serenity and peace to move forward. Please know I love my family very much but it was time to let it go. You guys are a witness to a lot of what was happening from watching on air and online. Now that I am becoming a mom my passion for having a loving and peaceful home for my child is my #1 priority. It’s very important to both Daniel and I. My plate is very full; I have a new baby coming, we are planning our wedding and I am working in the studio on a new album that I am close to completing. The stress that my family is giving me with their constant false reports is not healthy and it’s not what I need at this time in my life. Please understand that there are only a few people that can officially confirm or deny anything that’s happening in my life and that’s me, Daniel, and my publicist, Tresa Sanders. And my girl Monica never lies.
Love Your Girl,
KC
"I think dating might be a stretch at this point," Kemp's agent, Dave Stewart (who, despite what his statement would lead you to believe, is actually aware of the photos circulating of Rihanna and Kemp in Cabo San Lucas). told E! News.
"They are in Cabo, but past that they are just good friends, and I don't think we can label it as anything other than friendship right now. Who knows what will develop past the friendship."
GV Says: What's really going on with Rihanna....no seriously. I"m concerned.
