I just read on another message board that Darryl Bell, "Ron" from a A Different World died of a heart attack yesterday. Is this true? Can someone confirm this?

I've seen it posted on a MB, too. I haven't found any articles to confirm this.

LET'S JUST SAY RIGHT NOW, IT'S A RUMOR!

[WenD08]

per a listserv that i'm on, Flo Anthony reported on an AM show that Darryl Bell died of a heart attack. apparently it was genetic b/c his father also died of a heart attack at a young(er) age several years ago.
sad news i loved him on A Different World.

I was hoping this was the same type of rumor that floated around a few times about other celebs dying.

reports that Daryl Bell (of "A Different World" fame) and an Alpha from Syracuse has died of a heart attack.

Go to the Gossip with Flo section. It is the 3rd item he reported on.

My coworker and I were discussing how so many celebrities have died in 2003 and we were hoping we'd make it into 2004 without losing somenoe else, but then I read this. I wish 2004 would get here and we all have a better year.

P. Diddy to Star in 'Raisin in the Sun'
34 minutes ago Add Entertainment - AP to My Yahoo!


By MICHAEL KUCHWARA, AP Drama Writer

NEW YORK - Sean Combs, better known as rap star P. Diddy, will make his Broadway debut this season in a revival of "A Raisin in the Sun," Lorraine Hansbury's landmark drama about a black family moving into an all-white Chicago neighborhood.


"It is an American classic alongside `Streetcar,' `Death of a Salesman' and `The Crucible,'" producer David Binder said Wednesday. "And it has never had a Broadway revival."


The production, to be directed by Kenny Leon, will most likely begin rehearsals in mid-February, with preview performances starting in mid-March and an opening a month later, Binder added. The exact dates, the rest of the casting and the theater will be announced.


"We are approaching very seasoned New York theater actors" to fill out the rest of the cast, the producer said, declining to be more specific. Combs has no stage experience. He has appeared in the movies "Made" and "Monster's Ball."


Binder said he contacted Combs last September after a mutual acquaintance suggested that Combs "was interested in doing serious, challenging work in the theater."


Combs auditioned several times for the producer, the casting director and Leon over the course of the fall. "We were all incredibly impressed — he's focused on the work," said Binder, a producer of such off-Broadway hits as "De La Guarda" and "Hedwig and the Angry Inch."


Binder said he chose Leon, former head of the Alliance Theatre Company in Atlanta, because the director "respects writing. ... He's interested in serving the play."


The original production, which starred Sidney Poitier (news), Claudia MacNeil, Ruby (news - web sites) Dee and Diana Sands, was a success on Broadway in 1959 and later as a 1961 movie with the same lead cast. It was made into a Broadway musical, starring Virginia Capers and Joe Morton, in 1973.


The title comes from a line in a poem by Langston Hughes: "What happens to a dream deferred?/Does it dry up/Like a raisin in the sun?"

Something ain't right. I got this from another message board:

"Per Jawn Murray, EIC of Electronic Urban Radio, shortly after Flo Anthony aired the information on Dallas, Detroit, and Philadelphia radio, Darrell Bell called her himself denying the rumor, stating that he is in fact alive and well. Flo will refute the rumor on her syndicated show(s) tomorrow morning."

If you're gonna report something, make sure it's true.

And so was I Soror! Looked nearly everywhere online that I could think of. . . People, AP, Reuters, CNN, TVguide, etc., and didn't see ANYTHING. Even asked a couple of friends and no one had heard anything.

[CrimsonTide4]

I need Flo to get it together. I was truly sad and stuff!!!

[AKA2D '91]

Supposedly on her show this morning, Flo said she THOUGHT she had gotten the info from a RELIABLE source.......WRONG ANSWER!

[nikki1920]

But did you hear that her "reliable" source is from the National Enquirer?
