Storm Katrina claims Diddy's launch party

Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Emilo Estefan's launch party for their new record label Bad Boy Latino was one of the events cancelled last night as party planners in Miami Beach, Florida prepared for tropical storm Katrina.

The music moguls had planned a lavish party at the beach city's Doubletree Surfcomber Hotel, but organisers cancelled all events scheduled last night over fears they would be washed out.
