Rap mogul SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS has ditched his party man reputation - because he’d prefer to enjoy fine wine with a small group of close friends.
The Bad Boy Records boss is famous for throwing lavish parties for friends and celebrities, but he suggests that part of his life may soon be a thing of the past.
He says, "You’ll more likely find me drinking a nice vintage bottle of wine and there probably aren’t as many people around - I sort of became bored with a lot of them.
"It’s just different. But I still got the same spirit and the same swagger." And Diddy tells Black Book magazine when he does go to the occasional party, he’s sensible about how he gets there.
He adds, "It’s better for me to have a driver… I don’t want to drink and drive."

MARIAH CAREY feels blessed to be alive - she never thought she’d live to see her 40th birthday.
The singer turned 40 in March (09) and admits she celebrated more than most.
She says, "Honestly, I never thought I’d live this long." The Without You singer tells In Touch magazine, "I have always been grateful for everything I had, but my personal life was a mess. So many artists just exist for their careers and then burn out quickly.
"I always thought that I wouldn’t be here at this point. I was thinking, ‘OK, I’ve got another year of my life left. This has got to be the end of it.’" Meeting and marrying rapper/actor Nick Cannon made Carey stop thinking so negatively.
She explains, "He was like, ‘Stop talking like that.’ I have been obsessed with the whole Marilyn Monroe thing my whole life - all those artists who died young." And Carey admits she shared her gloomy outlook with the late Michael Jackson: "At one point, we talked about that stuff. I can’t reveal what he thought. But yes, we had a conversation about it once."

WHITNEY HOUSTON was touched after a string of high profile music makers asked to be part of her comeback - insisting she was "humbled" by the support of her contemporaries.
The legendary diva returned to the top of the U.S. album charts in August (09) with I Look To You, her first chart-topper since The Bodyguard soundtrack in 1993.
The album was highly-anticipated as it marked Houston’s first studio release following her much-publicised battle with drugs and the breakdown of her marriage to Bobby Brown.
Hitmakers Alicia Keys and R. Kelly approached Houston and asked to be part of her musical return, and the singer was left stunned by the numbers of influential people who were backing her for a second run at success.
She tells Pride magazine, "I was humbled by the fact that people like Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys and R. Kelly wanted to be part of the album. They were calling saying, ‘Man, I gotta get on there.’ I feel blessed about their support for the whole project."

JOHN LENNON’s musician son SEAN feels no pressure forging a career in the late legend’s shadow, insisting no one can compete with THE BEATLES.
The 33 year old is currently performing with his mother Yoko Ono’s newly reformed Plastic Ono Band, as well as his own solo career.
Although he is often compared to his dad, Sean insists he has never felt compelled to measure himself against his father’s achievements.
During an appearance on U.S. TV talk show The View - which included a performance his mother Yoko Ono - Lennon Jr. said, "I know when (people) see me, they see my father. I can’t help (that) I look like him, I look like her (Ono).
"But honestly I don’t play music in terms of trying to compete with my dad because I don’t think I could play if I did that. But I take comfort in knowing I’m not the only (musician) who will never be as successful as the Beatles."

THE POLICE drummer STEWART COPELAND isn’t ruling out a second reunion for the iconic eighties act - because anything could happen in the next 50 years.

The French government has moved to dismiss comments a senior politician made, suggesting Swiss officials should release ROMAN POLANSKI, branding his child sex crime "a serious case".
The director was detained by authorities in Zurich, Switzerland on Saturday (26Sep09), 31 years after U.S. police issued a warrant for his arrest.
Polanski is now fighting extradition to the U.S., where he faces sentencing after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977. He fled the country in 1978 after claiming the judge in the case had reneged on a plea bargain, and took up residence in France.
On Monday (28Sep09), French culture minister Frederic Mitterrand claimed Polanski should not be subjected to "a new ordeal".
A spokesperson from his office said, "(Mitterrand is) stunned. (He) strongly regrets that a new ordeal is being inflicted on someone who has already experienced so many of them." Now French President Nicolas Sarkozy has waded into the debate - his representatives are insisting Polanski should not be given any special treatment.
In a statement issued on Wednesday (30Sep09), government spokesman Luc Chatel said the Rosemary’s Baby filmmaker was "neither above nor below the law", although he claimed Sarkozy’s team sympathised with the nature of Polanski’s arrest.
The rep adds, "A judicial procedure is under way concerning a serious case, the rape of a minor, and the U.S. and Swiss justice systems are doing their work.
"On the other hand, there’s emotion, and we can understand the emotion stirred up by this belated arrest, more than 30 years after the events, and the method of the arrest." Polanski’s victim Samantha Geimer, has previously asked for the charges to be dropped.
