Diddy and the equally annoying Ashton Kutcher hosted the 2009 White Party on Saturday (July 4th), in Los Angeles. I’m not quite sure what brought on this sudden interest in malaria but the party was “thrown to raise money for Malaria No More, a non-profit organisation geared towards ending Malaria in Africa”.
