DIAHANN CARROLL has exited “Raisin in the Sun” starring Denzel Washington, set for an April opening on Broadway. Let’s face it, she was wrong for this role. The amazing LaTanya Richardson takes her place. She’s only 6 years older than Denzel, but will play his mother. She can do it. Carroll, I’m told, arrived for rehearsals in a fur coat with Chanel sunglasses. She thought it was “Dreamgirls,” I guess…
ED SHEERAN did such a great job singing and playing “In My Life” on the Beatles special. Now he’s been chosen as the entertainer for Elton John and David Furnish’s Oscar party. The dinner and party benefit the wonderful Elton John AIDS Foundation. Tickets are very hard to come by. Go to www.ejaf.org…
