                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The world's most unlikely lone-ranger diplomat, Dennis Rodman, has gone to North Korea for his third visit.

This time, he is there to prepare for "the big bang from Pyongyang" - an upcoming basketball extravaganza between North Koreans and former NBA stars, for leader Kim Jong Un's birthday.

State media said the husband of Kim Jong Il's sister was "human scum", who "dared to dream different dreams".
