Diddy Bomb or Bloom?

Celebs from Oprah to Spike Lee bumrushed Broadway last night to support virgin stage actor, P. Diddy. The fashion forward hip hop mogul played Walter Lee in the first Broadway revival of Lorraine Hansberry's groundbreaking play "A Raisin in the Sun". According to mixed reviews, Diddy delivered a decent performance. USA Today gave him a “solid C” for his rendition saying, “Combs clearly did not slack off in preparing for his latest challenge,” while The Hollywood Reporter said he was overshadowed by the other acting talent on stage. The New York Post gave him the thumbs up, “Confidently stepping into the role made famous by Sidney Poitier, Combs was – believe it or not – pretty damn good.”
