Remember last week I told you about all the drama at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ 40th birthday bash in NYC? Many industry insiders who thought they were A-listers were left outside cooling their heels on the sidewalk in the rain.

According to Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411 blog, “…there was no red carpet, oddly, on the outside. VIP guests had to find clever ways of entering the event. Luckily, there weren’t too many of them.”

Meanwhile, Diddy held court inside the Grand ballroom of the fabulous Plaza Hotel regaling his invited guests with the magnificence that is Himself.

While many blogs went on and on about his baby mama Kim Porter and his sidepiece Cassie being at the party, no one mentioned that the true love of his life, Sarah Chapman, was also there (she came with Sean’s mom Janice Combs).

By the way, Sarah was the reason Cassie left the party early, not Kim Porter who is the mother of 3 of his kids. So why shouldn’t she be there?

But back to Sarah. I’m told that she’s “dating” but no one’s really seen Sarah out on a date.

Then again, this IS Atlanta and there aren’t that many straight, unattached men to choose from. Still, such a beautiful specimen as Sarah with no man on her arm should tell you something.

Anyway, I wrote all that to say, Sarah was at the party, and in the VIP with the #1 woman in Puffy’s life outside of his daughters — his mom Janice. So what does that tell you?
