Rap bachelor P Diddy has laughed off rumours 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 last Sunday night's MTV Movie Awards in California.
However, the rapper insists their friendship is innocent.
He told 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."
