Diddy blows thousands on Bond audition tape

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is so sure he will be picked as the first black James Bond - he has splashed out $750,000 (€591,273) on making his 007 audition tape.

The hip hop mogul has previously spoken of his desire to play an African-American incarnation of the suave superspy, and has set plans in motion to ensure he lands the coveted role.
