Diddy's Spectacular Fall From HotnessThe great unwashed clean up pretty well.Photo courtesy of GuestofaGuest.comEarlier today, we mentioned to a colleague the annual Labor Day fracas that is Diddy's White Party — yes, that beloved(ish), A-list(ish) fête at the hip-hop mogul's East Hampton home, for which all guests are required to wear white. "Did he even have the party this year?" the colleague asked, suggesting to us that Diddy's status on the social circuit has indeed taken a turn for the worse. For starters, yes, the hip-hop mogul did indeed host his annual White Party, though an attendee notes that Diddy spent most of his time on a balcony, sequestered from his guests (as pictured above). But you probably won't hear much more about it than that. Adding to the aura of social stigma is "Page Six," which took great glee in reporting earlier this summer that the hip-hop mogul had been denied entry at a club in St. Tropez (which is the rich person's equivalent of sitting at the nerds' table at lunch). Meanwhile, the recent finale of Diddy's Making the Band 4 required no less than seventeen twists and turns to garner even a blip of media attention. And this morning, Diddy suffered perhaps the greatest indignity: a spot on the Today show, in which he gave entertainment reporter Jill Rappaport a tour of his East Hampton home (going so far as to even introduce his sons on camera). Kind of like Cribs for the stay-at-home-mom crowd, except we don't expect Master P. to go quite so low. Diddy's White Party '07 [Guest of a Guest]

Lydia Hearst Goes to War for LoveHearst and new boyfriend Matt Rains last week.Photo: Patrick McMullanIt seems like only yesterday that Lydia Hearst was personally inviting us to go hear boyfriend Joe Barney perform with his band. But the whims of model-socialite-designer-humanitarian-actresses are fickle, and today's "Page Six" tells us that she's moved on! How far has she moved on? To Iraq, that's how far. Turns out that she's fallen head over pasties for the hot brother of her gay BFF, Heatherette designer Traver Rains. Matt Rains is, fantastically, a helicopter pilot. How Gossip Girl appropriate! He'll be deployed in Iraq in a few weeks. Even though the two only got together at the Life Ball, which was a couple of days ago, Lyds is already planning a USO tour to the Middle East so she can be near him. And to think, she only changed her Facebook status to "It's Complicated" last week! That is complicated. For example, what will she do to entertain the troops? Channel her mother? Or will it involve the outfit she barely wore to the Life Ball? Because we're pretty sure that's frowned upon in Muslim countries. LOVE & WAR [NYP]
