Awards Shows
Diddy Denied, Granny Gets In

Did you ever think you'd see the night when Sean "Diddy" Combs struggled to get into an after-party, but 61-year-old Helen Mirren would breeze right past the velvet rope?

It happened last night at the Sunset Tower Hotel. Diddy arrived at the party, but met with resistance. He got into a pretty heated conversation with a guy who looked like the head of security for the hotel. Several uniformed guards stood by as Diddy haggled with security and talked on his phone. How many times do you think he said, "Do you know who I am?"

About five minutes after Diddy arrived, Mirren, who won two Globes earlier in the evening, was greeted with open arms by the same security guard who stiff-armed Diddy. Mirren was then ushered in -- right past him!! Sometimes, it's good to be "The Queen."

46. Jack Nicholson is a generation older than Helen Mirren but I don't see you calling him, or Michael Douglas or Clint Eastwood or Warren B or any others quite a bit older than Helen "great-grand daddy". Helen Mirren is one of the great acting talents of our time and she rocks.

47. "Granny" Helen Mirren may be 61 but she was hotter and classier than anyone else there last night.

50. The fact's Diddy will be let into more showbiz parties in the UK where he's more worshipped than Helen Mirren. But then, us Brits know you Yanks suck up on hearing our accents. Diddy remains huge here in London, England.
To those who now see Mirren as a saint - don't forget a few years back - she went on an anti-US rant & claimed she was a better actress than Meryl Streep!!!!

51. Diddy needs to remember that no matter how much money you have you are still a black man and even today if they don't want any negros at the party you ain't getting in

52. This whole issue (or non-issue, IMO) boils down to simple mathematics, folks.

Dame Helen won TWO Golden Globes that night and, thus, richly deserved entry into an AFTER-GOLDEN GLOBES PARTY. And, Diddy won how many? Yeah, my point exactly.

LOL - WHO'S YOUR GRANNY??!!

58. Most of you posting are jealous of Diddy, his money, his fame, the women, and a few of you are upset that he is Black. Kinda makes you examine your own lonely, poor, boring, useless life huh? Asking yourself why you are not in the hotel, when you actually would not even be allowed on the same street with Diddy. Diddy should buy the hotel and fire that low wage earning flashlight security cop.
