P.Diddy 2 B-b-b-Bond ‘Noir’

Sean 'P.Diddy' Combs will ‘remix‘ legendary British agent James Bond to turn him into a black man from Harlem, New York, with a new name. As speculation has been rife over the past several months over who will replace Pierce Brosnan in the coveted role, Bad Boy Entertainment boss Combs recently confessed his ambitions to become the first black 007 and now he claims plans are officially underway to make his dream a reality.

He says, "We're gonna remix the whole situation. We're gonna change the name. It's a new time. We're taking the Bond imprint of what he stood for but we're gonna remix it."

"My name's gonna be Robert Ground. [Catchy, n’est pas?] It's serious, I'm about to announce the deal next week. I was saying it before but this is serious. You're finally gonna see a black Bond. He's gonna be from Harlem. It's America, baby, it's our turn.

"He's gonna be cool. He's a younger version of Bond. It should be out in the next 20 months."

But Combs does plan to keep one aspect of Bond intact - the new character will also be a fan of martinis. Will it a stirring one? Just pondering...

Dimebag bracelets halted

Online sales of a bracelet in memorial of the late 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott have been halted because demand was too high. The bracelets, available through dimetribute.com, have proved so popular that online payment provider PayPal was forced to halt its service to the site.

Embossed with the legend "Getcha’ Pull - Dimebag R.I.P." all profits from the 100% synthetic silicon black rubber bracelets is going to the official 'Dimebag' Darrell Memorial Fund.

This was set up to cover the bereavement and medical expenses of John "Kat" Brooks, Chris Paluska, and Jeffrey "Mayhem" Thompson.

Abbott was among four people shot and killed by gunman Nathan Gale at a Damageplan gig in December of last year.

The hugely popular guitarist was also a founding member of rock legends Pantera.

Brooks and Paluska were hit and injured in the incident, but Thompson, the band’s head of security, was also killed.

The memorial bracelets can still be ordered via the mail.

A statement was posted on dimetribute.com assuring those who have already placed orders through PayPal that the site is "working with a new provider to remedy this problem."
