Ah, Heatherette!

By Korin Miller, amNewYork

It's all fun and games until Diddy arrives.

The man, the myth and (some think) the legend hit the scene at Heatherette five minutes before the show got underway. Photographers immediately came running from every which way - even those who were mid-snap, capturing Bijou Phillips' repeated, over-the-top seat-dancing antics.

The show's stage manager appeared out of nowhere and threw herself in front of the cameras. Who needs a bodyguard when she's around?! When that tactic royally failed, security was called in to try their darndest to keep things under control. Uh, yeah. That took a while.

Diddy just casually fiddled with his phone and simply propped his feet up on the runway during the insanity.

The music mogul's appearance only fueled the pre-show chaos. Former 'N Sync singer Lance Bass was nearly run over by a slew of cameras trying to get to JoJo, while "America's Next Top Model" judge Nigel Barker had to practically push his way to his seat. Once again, Brittny Gastineau was butted out of the way by photographers when Diddy arrived.

"This is such a fun show," Bass said, between texting a pal. (Or, at least, it is when he isn't being accosted by a roving band of reporters.) The ex-boy bander said he's busy with the Broadway's "Hairspray" at the moment, but will be launching a new show soon: "It's like 'Making the Band.'" Uh oh, Diddy.

On the runway, transexual icon Amanda LePore worked the catwalk like it was nobody's business while former porn star Jenna Jameson strutted her stuff - and purposefully showed the camera's a lil' tush after her pose.

But before the madness got underway, the design team's stage manager/human shield stole the show with an animated run-through with the models (some of whom were pint-sized).

"Ooh! I like that!" she squealed, when a teeny girl struck pose at the end of the runway. "Yes! Yes! Work it!" You could just see the 'tude oozing out of these kids, trying to out-diva each other. Their parents must be so proud.
