Diddy still waiting for Bond role

Rapper-turned-actor Sean 'Diddy' Combs is still waiting for James Bond bosses to make him the first black 007.

The music mogul claims his move from studio and stage to screen has gone "beyond expectation" after landing roles in Jon Favreau movie Made, TV drama CSI: Miami and forthcoming Judd Apatow movie Get Him to the Greek - but he's still waiting for his dream role, as Daniel Craig's replacement.

Combs says, "Nobody's called me back yet. Bond people, I'm here waiting. My number's listed. I'm waiting to get a crack."
