Now on the CBn main page...


Rap star reportedly spends over $750,000 on audtion tape that also promotes new fragrance



P. Diddy spends £500k on 007 Audition Tape!

P. Diddy wants to be the next James Bond so much that he has apparently spent £500,000 making an audition tape.

The Mirror claims that the rapper took a private jet to the south of France to produce the action segment, which he hopes will sway Bond executives. The clip will apparently double as promotional footage for Diddy's fragrance, I Am King.

The 38-year-old said: "This is my audition tape for the next James Bond. There is a black President and it's time for there to be a black Bond. God bless..."

The latest James Bond release Quantum Of Solace took top spot in the Australian box office chart this week, having earlier stormed both the UK and US charts.

Some people simply have too much money on their hands...

But seriously, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't an audition when a producer or filmmaker asks you to screentest? And not not when you, yourself, decide that you shall screentest?

It's obviously a gimmick to sell his product.

It's the only way to use the James Bond 007 monicker without getting his pants sued off in a court of law.

Honestly, I don't know that much about P. Diddy (except that he spends some time polluting the Mediterranean on a ridiculously big yacht every summer, and buys half the world's annual production of silver for his bling-bling).
But... has he ever been an actor?? I mean, except on his own audition tapes? I can't remember hearing of him in anything.

Monster's Ball, actually, so one has to presume the Bond connection is firmly established.

After Eon laughs it out of the office, guess he can always shop it to the XXX production team, so it's not a total loss.

EON would never take it seriously. I can just see Babs, her office plastered with posters of Craig, her desk adorned with a photo of Craig... and in her 'I <3 DC' t-shirt... laughing it up, and eventually tossing the tape in the rubbish bin.

You did forget the scrawling of "Barbara Craig" on various scraps of paper and the "I heart Daniel" newly tattooed on her inner thigh....


but I digress... :(

As misguided as it is, I have to admit I do find it rather endearing.

Of course he'll produce the song that was ripped off of another famous one...oops, I mean "sample" it. Then he'll make the video with every artist at Bad Boy Records and then he'll make 15 minute remix of it.

Seriously though, P. Diddy as :(in' Bond ? Please.

Quite frankly, I've had the "bling" crap up to the eyeballs with the theme song, sorry.

Anyway, is everyone asleep at the wheel? Bond has to be from the Commonwealth (and the Republic of Ireland it seems) so there you have it.

That's something that wont change.

I believe this story 100%. I just bought a GQ today, and Diddy has three ads in it for his new fragrance. They scream Bond so obnoxiously loud it hurts my ears. The first has a yacht in the background with himself in a tux on a jet-ski. The second is a helicopter, him in a tux with two women, and the third... is just Diddy in a tux trying to look classy and 'intense'.

Give it up. Eon is laughing at you.
