The New York tabs are all in a tizzy over reports that Sean “P. Diddy” Combs snubbed the dedication show Monday night at Cincinnati’s National Underground Railroad Freedom Center because Laura Bush refused to be in a photo with him.

According to the New York Post, His Diddyness was supposed to join Bush, Angela Bassett, Bono and other dignitaries for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but Bush’s office said no to the photo-op with Combs.

An unidentified Combs aide told the New York Daily News: “We don’t understand why she wouldn’t want to stand with him. He hasn’t been partisan at all.”

A White House rep said the whole thing is wacky silliness: “I attribute any of this stuff to rumor or hearsay.

“We don’t have anything to do with who is in the show or not. Mrs. Bush is happy to be here and be part of a historic occasion.”
