ICE CUBE: Singin' that "Joy to the World" Diddy.

Diddy at the 2010 Joy To The World Black Tie Gala

Ah, the Joy to the World Weekend? This is a winter hit-and-run Icecube because the whole weekend hit the way a snowball strikes — cold, fast, blurry and with lots of Ciroc vodka. Sorry. You don't do my snowballs. With my Thursday lost in North Bowl Vivica Fox/Fabolous hell for a moment, I looked to my Friday and Saturday with Joy to the World charity weekend headliners Jamie Foxx, Diddy, and the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Friday, after an appearance at both the Power 99 and WDAS radio studios, where he had dinner at the height of Two Liberty Place and the Lakers/76ers game, Jamie Foxx hit The Vault (nee Fusion) for his record release party for Best Night of My Life, entering the club looking all wooly like Nanook of the north.

On Saturday after the Kids Star Fest at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, organized by Penn grad Tyrone L. Gilliams Jr. (the man behind the Joy to the World weekend), everyone waited for Diddy and the Housewives to show at the Ritz Carlton. We got Buc Wylde, Renee Chenault Fattah and Chaka Fattah and Erin Elmore â but where's Diddy and the Housewives? After they had hung at the Ritz bar for a bit before running back up to their rooms, we heard that Housewife Kim Zolciak would be tardy to her party because she spilled a drink on her dress (she did show up at the after party at The Vault Ultra Lounge) leaving Sheree Whitfield (pictured right) on her own to walk the Ritz Carlton's red carpet and hang in its roped-off white curtained VIP lounge, which was fun in itself. Jermaine Dupri was there. So was Vivica Fox. We kept hearing that Diddy was late due to his entourage looking for cheesesteaks and Diddy's hanging with a few women he met — pure speculation, mind you, yet you couldn't help but wonder after last week's CD release bash where 200 women got dragged into proximity of a Diddy hot tub where one model got her hair burned. Finally Diddy arrived in a black velvet tux and a toothpick with Fabolous (in a niiize grey tux) to the Ritz Carlton. They stayed in the VIP lounge a bit (Brian McKnight stopped by, too) before heading out of the hotel then hitting the Vault Ultra Lounge where comic Kevin Hart and rapper Meek Mill hung out. Too chilly out for all this, you know â but I. Roll. In. The. Cold. Too. Check here for fun celeb tweets from the event.
