P. Diddy, The Party Pooper

In what promises to be the most overrated party of the 2011 All-Star weekend, Boost Mobile and Ciroc presented Diddy Invades Hollywood at the Avalon in Hollywood, Friday night. 

Hundreds of fans lined the streets in chilly temperatures and torrential downpours to get a glimpse of Puffy and his celebrity friends, including Terrell Owens,

A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys, Flo Rida and Baron Davis. 

The blue carpet was rolled out and the rain was temporarily suspended for actors Robbie Jones and Michael Copon, Pussycat Doll Melody Thorton and American Idol Season 9 finalist Tim Urban. 

Stevie Wonder and his entourage made an unexpected appearance but snuck in through the side trying to surpass the paparazzi. 

Meagan Good, who co-hosted the event, looked unique in booty shorts and cut-out leggings but was nothing short of gracious on the media line. The actress took the time to talk to Neon Tommy contributor Janine Rayford about All-Star weekend and her upcoming projects. 

P Diddy, the host to lavish events like the famed White Party, was somewhat of a wet-rag last night. Arriving after midnight, he ran across the media line in what might be the quickest carpet arrival in history. 

Inside was equally underwhelming as the huge concert venue, which can hold 1,100 people, was completely empty. Hip hop music echoed throughout Avalon but the disappointment of party-goers from the lack of celebrity presence was obvious.   

Apparently this sort of behavior is common for Diddy and people should be thankful that he arrived at all, but frankly, if your face on the flier you need to make an effort to arrive on time and see your fans. Yes, Diddy, Chad Ochocino, Keri Hilson and the other dozen celebrities that failed to show up, I am talking to you.  

Tickets were $200.00 for general admission but jumped to $7,000 for a table in the Sky Box. Granted, this is on the cheaper side of things for this weekend compared to the $20,000 you might drop to party with Nicki Minaj and DJ Khaled (Can a sister get an invite?). But people spent their hard-earned cash to see big named celebrities and left the club frustrated. 

The man with the many names disappointed and needs to personally pay back everyone that showed up.
