St. Tropez: Diddy and Pals' Playground

Posted Aug 2nd 2006 11:57AM by TMZ Staff

P. Diddy just couldn't contain his joy as he frolicked at his annual White Party, which went off in St. Tropez yesterday -- and the video's just further proof that the French Riviera idyll is the current playground du jour for tout les plus belles filles et beaux hommes in celebdom.

The hip-hop mogul channeled his inner kid as he and his shirtless minions leapt up and got down at Diddy's eighth annual end-of-summer soiree, which has become perhaps the most coveted invitation of the year. 400 or so of Puff's closest and dearest usually congregate at the Combs residence in the Hamptons, with the dress requirement being utterly blinding whiteness from head to toe -- even the well-connected may find themselves denied entrance for the faintest violation.

This year, though, Diddy saw fit to make the monochromatic feast a moveable one, inviting his guests to join him at the exclusive Nikki Beach club in St. Tropez (and the night before on a 277-foot yacht for the launch of his fragrance Unforgivable). And Diddy's not the only celeb who's jetting off to the south of France to savor the town's chic flair, flawless vistas, and thumping nightlife scene.

Kid Rock and Pam Anderson tied their first knot there over the weekend, Jack Nicholson flew the family out there for a summer vacation last month, and Penelope Cruz let loose on the beach with designer pal John Galliano.

And, of course, the warm ocean air and the luxuriant perfume of the cassia trees gets stars' love-jones blooming, as Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos proved over the weekend, rekindling their flame, and Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber so aptly demonstrate here. Click on the loving couple to see our photo gallery.

Somerset Maugham may have called the Cote d'Azur "a sunny place for shady people" back when it was more the province of lapsed royals and international playboys, but it's doubtful he could've envisioned the kind of star wattage on display in St. Tropez this summer.

1. That sounds like a fun party. I also love watching cable hostess Windy Moore, who is 'bouncy' and 'fun.' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvzppYKGy10

3. Did that hooking up with Stavros iclude a renege on her promise of celibacy? i guess it did, judging by night club photos showing Savros, his pants coming off at some point showing his undies and kneeling between Paris legs.... engaging in what public sex? And when we call you a "hoe" you go on the defensive my dear Paris. You are a sickening nauseating slut who apparently cant keep her closed.

4. Cindy Crawford is still the hottest model there is. I'd like to see her do more work. She is classier and SEXIER than all the rest put together!

8. I have to hand it to Cindy. She is determined to keep her family and marriage together. She let's Rande play while she stays home with the kids. Didn't freak when he lost all that $$$ on the Las Vegas deal (and money is important to a gal who was raised rather poor in De Kalb, IL). She keeps herself in shape and turns a blind eye to photos/stories insinuating Rande is cheating on her. She understands his need to party and that's the reson she likely joined him in St. Tropez.. I like her candor and her stick to it ness. I'm not convinced his the cleanest knife in the drawer but hoepfully he won't do something so stupid, another celeb marriage hits the dust.
