* Sean "P. Diddy" Combs spent $75,000 on the invitations to his splashy Sean John show at Cipriani 42nd Street last night, but they still had the wrong RSVP number on them.
The elaborate box and T-shirt invites, which cost about $75 apiece, asked people to call a nonworking number. Sean John reps frantically called around, giving out another number that was working.
A Sean John rep attributed the snafu to "crossed lines." We suspect there was more to it. (NY Post)

* Photographer Annie Leibovitz usually does the shooting, but Wall Street bond trader Robert Snider and his wife and infant son are aiming at her — with a $15 million lawsuit alleging Vanity Fair's top photographer ran a "terror campaign of harassment, provocation, destruction and terror" against them after he refused last summer to sell her their next-door landmark Village townhouse on W. 11th St. The intensely personal complaint calls this "evil and reprehensible." Howdy, neighbor!
The high — or low — point was reached, the suit alleges, when Leibovitz's contractors dug beneath a shared load-bearing wall, knowing it would collapse. They also charge Leibovitz with repeatedly cutting their phone lines, denying repairmen access, erecting sidewalk scaffolds without security measures, "the wholesale gutting" of her landmarked buildings, sledgehammering, drilling — you get the idea. All leading to "headaches, nausea, coughing, wheezing and insomnia," their house filling "with explosive fumes," and their forced removal by Buildings Department officials for safety reasons. Then the roof opened, the pipes burst, there was a flood — and they lost almost everything. "This in order to extort the sale [of their house] at a bargain-basement price," the suit pounds home. All that's missing is a plague of locusts. There were rats, though. "We can't comment on a suit we don't know anything about," says Leibovitz's business manager, Rick Kantor, who is also named in the suit.(NY Daily News)

* At Saks Fifth Avenue's dinner for fashion designer Angela Missoni, photographer Patrick McMullen tried to push the former and current editors of Harper's Bazaar together for a photo op. But Glenda Bailey skittered away from her predecessor, Kate Betts. "What can I say?" McMullen sighed. "I mean well." (NY Daily News)
