"Celebrity Cooking Showdown" cancelled

Rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs' celebrity cooking show has been axed by TV bosses at NBC after just four shows.

Despite intense publicity and four prime-time slots, the reality show "Celebrity Cooking Showdown" failed to serve up ratings, and NBC bosses have told producers there will be no more episodes.

The show fell flat on day one when Naomi Campbell was forced to pull out at the last minute due to her legal troubles.

Celebrities who appeared on the show included Patti Labelle, country star Big Kenny and former O-Town singer Ashley Parker Angel.
