You hear something once, and you brush it off as rumor. You hear something twice, and you start to believe a little bit more. Three times, well, that little piece of gossip is almost a fact. So here it goes.
Our old friend Diddy was busted for fighting last weekend. Not very smooth. We don't care too much about the man's comings and goings, so we let the story go at that. But the story has taken an interesting turn. Every published report puts the event at Kiosk, a store at 95 Spring Street that apparently "which hosts social events at night". Uh, we don't think so. Then a Little Birdy reminded us that this is the same block as our old friend, Upstairs, the bar that has been described as "small, intimate and PACKED with six-foot runway models."
Now, we have been hearing from a few very reliable sources that Diddy was at Upstairs on Friday night/Saturday AM. The brawl went down both inside and outside the club, and according to a Little Birdy that is most definitely in the know, "Danny A's trying to blame the bar down the street."
Now that is something that does make sense. Your club's legality is still on shaky ground. A promoter who claims to work parties there is a major DB, and now a trouble making celeb gets arrested outside. This is all bad news for Danny A. But it's great news for us.
Consider this one developing. But now you know why we were able to say, Upstairs is really ou'st.
UPDATE: The Post piggy backs on what we already knew. Upstairs is one dangerous place.

On the Circuit: Unforgivable Woman
What: Unforgivable Woman
Where: A private townhouse on West 67th street
Unfortunately, we can't be everywhere. Last night was one of those times where a conflict kept us away from an event. Luckily, we had a Little Birdy to pick up the slack. Attending the P. Diddy/Sean John event for his woman's line, Unforgivable Woman, our LB filed this breathless report.
Packed 3 story townhouse on west 67th street. Line down the block to get in. Serious door and cops. Videos of the UW ad playing around the house. Full-on red carpet with many media. The venerable Aretha Franklin was addling down the stairs as I got there. Saw Fabian Basabe and beard wife. Jay Z and Beyonce graciously took pictures with fans on the way out. Ashton Kutcher walked in with small entourage and tried to find the elevator so he didn't have to push through all the people. Zac Posen and several groupies made their way out while criticizing outfits. Puffy and entourage eventually made it to Marquee which was bumping when I left.Nice work LB. Sounds like you had a grand old time. We love how you slipped in the Marquee afterparty as well. That's how you roll. Take note haters: The Puffy One can still throw it down. Indeed.

On the Circuit: White Party
Ok Ok. We know it's Diddy. We know it's coming way way late. We know everyone including the Today show has talked about this. We know. But when a Little Birdy sent us this shot from the White Party, we decided to let it fly. Look at those 3! Get them a TV show or a record deal or something. Our Little Birdy says, "Even though everyone likes to rip on Diddy and the White Party, we had a blast. Great food and drinks, some good looking people, and the production quality for the event was through the roof." So it's a few years past it's prime. Like Tyra says, so what? If people are having fun, who are we to judge?
