New York, Nov 17 Singer Sean "Diddy" Combs is hosting the "party of a century" to celebrate his 40th birthday.

The rapper has hired event planner Bronson Van Wyck for the grand birthday bash at Plaza Hotel's Grand Ballroom, reports the New York Post.

Van Wyck has been asked to create a "fantasy dreamland" with fashion installations, a labyrinth, performance art and a display by "wizard of light" Bentley Meeker, who promises the lighting will grow "dimmer and sexier," punctuated by a "blizzard of light."

The guest list includes Queen Latifah, Russell Simmons, Spike Lee, Zac Posen, Lil' Kim and a "very special" musical guest. (ANI)
