Tyler Perry Sued for Good Deeds by Terri Donald


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Tyler Perry has been sued for “Good Deeds” (2012) by Terri Donald. Tyler Perry is being sued in Philadelphia Federal Court claiming that her 2007 book “Bad Apples Can Be Good Fruit” has been infringed by Perry’s 2012 film.

Donald, who wrote the book under the name TLO Red’ness, claims that Perry had access to the published book, local news indicates. Donald claims that send Perry a copy of her book.

Lions Gate Entertainment, the film’s distributor, is named as a co-defendant with Perry. Neither defendants have commented to news about the matter. None of the defendants have yet to file their answer to the complaint.

The lawsuit does not concern Perry’s most memorable role, Madea. But it does seek a peculiar amount for damages: $225,000. It remains unclear how the plaintiff has surmised such a figure listing it was just “initial damages”. It’s also not legally clear what “initial damages” is set to refer to.

Donald also wants credit in the film and to be “provide[d] an accounting of the movies revenues.” The Perry film reportedly made thirty-five million in U.S. box-office receipts during its February release. It remains unclear if Lions Gate asserts a profit on the film, or loss.

Tyler Perry Cancels Madea Tour, Battles Fake Facebook Profiles

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Tyler has cancelled the remainder of his Madea Gets A Job tour. Perry is angry that fake Facebook profiles are featuring people pretending to be him. In a news statement moments ago, Tyler Perry told fans he was sorry.

“This was the last live Madea tour and I’m super sorry that you won’t get to see it live” Perry told news Monday. “We’ve had to cancel this leg of the Madea Gets A Job tour”.

Perry tells news that the real culprits were online bootleggers, fake Facebook profiles claiming to be him. Perry said “you are being led to a bootlegger and you don’t even know it.”

Perry told news, in a Facebook post moments ago, that false Facebook profiles were striking his fans and his tour. “Also, there are some horrible people who are pretending to be me or representing me on Facebook and charging people money to do a meet and greet on the tour (I posted a picture below of what they are doing).” The fake profiles were looting fans, Perry told news. “They are telling people that they are me or working for me and charging them $150 for a meet and greet after the play.”

Perry said the attack by the bootleggers was evil and frustrating. “This is so frustrating! Why are people so evil? Why can’t people just get legitimate jobs and stop trying to do the wrong thing all the time?” He added “If they put the same amount of energy into doing the right thing as they do in doing the wrong thing they could make it. It’s so sad.”

Perry took to Facebook, furious with the report, and telling the authors of puportedly fake stories to “leave this baby alone”. Perry, writing in caps and using exclamations points, wrote in part today “please leave this baby alone … and she is a baby. Please stop the lies and give this child some room to breathe and grieve.” He added “if it was your child wouldn’t you want that?

Perry called the report all “lies”. “I woke up this morning to my publicist calling me saying that there were reports that Bobbi Kristina walked off the set of “For Better Or Worse”. NOT TRUE AT ALL PEOPLE!!! There is no way that she could have walked off the set because we have finished taping the season.” Perry said at no time did Bobbi leave the set. Rather “she managed to finish her obligation and did a great job at the same time.”

Perry added “After Whitney’s funeral, Krissi and I spent a long time talking about her goals and dreams. She said she wanted to act. That’s when I decided to write her into “For Better Or Worse”. I thought that there would be no better way for me to help her move through the grieving than by giving her something to focus on.” He also told news “The one thing that I learned after my mother’s death is that you have to keep busy and you have to be around people who you can trust, so that when you do grieve you can do it in the safety and privacy of people that care.”

Tyler Perry Not Dead – Madea Star Battles Fake Death Report

Tyler Perry Not Dead - Madea Star Battles Fake Death Reportl


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Tyler Perry is not dead. Perry is battling a fake death report today and fans are not pleased. The erroneous report began earlier this morning, prompting many fans to voice their displeasure with others re-tweeting the erroneous tale.

Tyler Perry is the latest film actor to battle fake death reports this month. Since 2009, fake celebrity death stories most often surface on Sundays. The usual tales involve catastrophic, large than life, stories about plane, train, and car crashes.

Moreover, the fake death reports generally tend to surface when the celebrity hasn’t taken to social networking for several days. Perry, in this case, last took to Facebook on Thursday.

That day, Tyler gave fans the official theatrical trailer for Madea’s Witness Protection. In the film, Perry is joined on screen with Eugene Levy, Denise Richards, Romeo, and even Tom Arnold. Perry said of the upcoming release “Are you ready to laugh harder than you have before at a Madea movie? Then check this out!”

While not the case for Perry, filmmakers are often the subject of fake death reports by MediaFetcher aka Global Associated. Will Smith, to date, has had three different fake death reports, all centered in different countries.

One fake death report claims that Will Smith once died in Fullerton, California after a car crash, another claims he died once in Switzerland in a snowboarding accident, and yet a third claims that Smith as some time died hiking in New Zealand.

As to the fabricated California tale for Smith, Global erroneously writes “Witness reports indicate that Will Smith’s BMW struck a pickup truck towing landscaping equipment. ” The fake Smith Switzerland tale, in turn, reads “The actor & novice snowboarder was vacationing at the Zermatt ski resort in Zermatt, Switzerland with family and friends.” And finally the hiking tale erroneously claims “Preliminary reports from New Zealand Police officials indicate that the actor fell more than 60 feet to his death on the Kauri Cliffs while on-set. Specific details are not yet available.”

Tyler Perry isn’t dead, Will Smith hasn’t died, and David Guetta is alive, as are Adam Sandler and Jackie Chain.

Racquel Bailey Tyler Perry Billboard Doesnt Prompt Interest, even from Madea

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – The Racquel Bailey billboard for Tyler Perry isn’t prompting interest from the actor, or from Madea. Racquel Bailey bought a billboard near Tyler Perry’s studios in the hope of getting a job from Perry. But while Madea is in hiding in the witness protection program this month, no one else has yet to invite Ms. Bailey over for an interview, claims local news.

On Wednesday, Perry told news “Well… the funniest Madea movie I’ve ever made is almost here. ” Perry is referencing his new flick, Madea’s Witness Protection Program.

Perry has yet to tell news what he thinks of someone asking for an audition, via a billboard. But he does like when someone calls him up to just say hi. “Don’t you just love it when somebody calls just to say hi, just to check in on you? Not to ask you for anything, but just to say hi. This doesn’t happen to me enough, not sure if it happens a lot to you.”

Perry has yet to tell news if he has seen the billboard. But he has seen the new Steve Harvey film. “Steve Harvey has a movie opening today called, THINK LIKE A MAN…. Get out if you can. That Kevin Hart is hysterical in this film. Keep an eye on him. That kid is going to be huge.”
