Just Plain Dumb Diddy
NEW YORK — Diddy had a date with destiny and was late.
Sean "Diddy" Combs was due to ring the bell of the New York Stock Exchange Monday morning with Terry Lundgren, chairman and chief executive officer of Federated Department Stores, to celebrate the success of his men's scent Unforgivable.
But Diddy got stuck in traffic, and Western capitalism waits for no man. The bell went off at 9:30 on the button with Lundgren and William Lauder, CEO of the Estée Lauder Cos., doing the honors. Luckily Combs was forgiven. "When you have numbers like these, why not?" said John Demsey, global president of the Estée Lauder, MAC Cosmetics and Sean John brands.
