Diddy Slams Cameron Diaz Rumors

Rap bachelor Sean 'Diddy' Combs has laughed off rumors he is romancing single Hollywood beauty Cameron Diaz.

The two were spotted together at a New York hot spot last month, and looked close at Sunday night's MTV Movie Awards in California.

They were also photographed embracing at a recent Los Angeles Lakers' basketball game.

But Combs insists their friendship is innocent. He tells the New York Daily News, "It is ridiculous that two celebrities of the opposite sex can't just hang out with a group of friends without it being reported as more than that. We are just friends."

Diaz - who has been single since splitting with Justin Timberlake - recently revealed she is active on the dating scene; explaining, "Men are the best, sex is the best."
