Now that the New Year's Eve fiestas are over and done with, the hottest party in the country is Barack Obama's inauguration!

And although celebs like Halle Berry and Sharon Stone are dishing out $50,000 each to watch Obama get sworn into office, Page Six reports that other celebs, like Sean Combs, are trying to get in for free!

An "insider" tells the paper, "Sean Combs is trying to get four tickets to the inauguration. He's acting like it's a party at Bungalow 8, like they should just let him in. He's too cheap to pay and thinks he can just show up."

Too cheap? With a music career, various MTV series, clothing and fragrance deals, you'd think this staunch Obama supporter would only be too happy to pay up and witness a part of history!
