P. Diddy celebrates 33rd
birthday in Morocco
RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Rapper
Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and 300
guests spent the weekend cele
brating his 33rd birthday
Moroccan-
style, partying
in a marble
palace and
shimmying
with belly
dancers.
Guests,
flown to
Marrakech
from New York and Paris,
included Naomi Campbell,
Ivana Trump and Gerard
Depardieu.
The party started Friday night
at Comptoir Paris-Marrakech, a
chic French-Moroccan restau
rant. About 30 Moroccan musi
cians, jugglers and belly
dancers provided the atmos
phere, and traffic was blocked
from the street outside to make
room for half a dozen camels.
At one point. Combs climbed
atop a table to dance with a
belly dancer, said Marcel
Chiche, the restaurant's owner.
On Saturday night, the guests
attended a private party at the
home of actor and comic Jamel
Debbouze. Sunday brought
another fete at Palais Bahia, a
PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
marble place in Marrakech.
Combs, once known as Puff
Daddy, turns 33 today.
Plate used by Monroe
brings $1,000 at auction
SPARKS, Nev. (AP) — A silver
oyster plate used by Marilyn
Monroe during filming of The
Misfits sold at auction for $1,000.
Robert W. Otto, president and
CEO of a Chicago human
resources consulting company,
made the highest bid for the
plate from the former Mapes
Hotel in Reno, where Monroe
stayed in 1960 during shooting.
The plate was among more
than 600 items auctioned off
Saturday at Lightning Auctions.
"I flew in from Chicago just to
bid on the oyster plate and I
had no intent to lose," Otto said.
"I had its worth pegged at
$5,000 and I was prepared to go
that high."
The 55-year-old Otto owns
about 500 pieces of Monroe
memorabilia, including a ring
with an "MM" monogram on the
inside once worn by Monroe
and the first dress she wore to
studio interviews at age 18.
Filmed almost exclusively in the
Reno area from July to November
1960, The Misfits was the only
movie Monroe and Clark Gable
appeared in together and the last
complete film for both.
Many of the items auction!
off belonged to the lateCla-j
Mapes Jr., who built theta'
town Reno hotel, which*:
demolished in 2000. ;;
