Diddy looked quite debonair at the NYC premiere of A Raisin in the Sun last night. He brought the movie to Sundance last month with the whole cast, and we'll all get to see it when it premieres this Monday on ABC — check out a first look at it here. The music and fashion mogul first played the part on Broadway, which was was tough on the Diddy. 
Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 play A Raisin in the Sun is already a true theater classic: It was the first play written by an African American woman to be performed on Broadway, and the original cast — including Sidney Poitier and current Oscar nominee Ruby Dee — was recognized with four Tony Awards. More than 40 years later, a 2004 revival starring Sean Combs, Phylicia Rashad, and Audra McDonald took home two Tony awards of its own.
Now, the majority of the Broadway cast has reunited for a television adaptation for ABC, which will air next Monday, Feb. 
In case you've been living under a rock, today is Super Tuesday, and even the stars are coming out of the woodwork to encourage you to vote. Yesterday Diddy headed to a photocall for his new movie A Raisin in the Sun in NYC, but he also took the time to get political during a phone interview with the AP, stressing the importance of voting in the primaries today, especially for all the young'uns. He said:
"If we want to stop the war, if we want to get the economy better, I think that young people need to understand they have to take matters into their own hands. 
I owe Diddy an apology. I've been giving him some flack over the past couple of days that he is only at Sundance to promote his vodka, though he is in fact in town to premiere a pretty big film at the festival, the newest version of A Raisin in the Sun, alongside Phylicia Rashad, John Stamos, and Audra McDonald. To be fair, he did spend a good amount of time with that vodka of his.
