Kerry Washington’s embarrassing acceptance speech blunder |

Kerry Washington won the Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture for The Six Triple Eight at yesterday’s 2025 NAACP Image Awards. She gave her acceptance speech, and everyone thought she was done. So, the show moved on and announced the next presenters.
However, the actress forgot to thank someone. So, she went over to the mic to thank him. But the audio was cut off. Therefore, she walked over to where Beyond the Gates’ Clifton Davis and Karla Mosley were about to announce the next category’s nominees.
Then, she hijacked their mic, and said, “These guys have an amazing show that is premiering soon [tomorrow on CBS]. But I did not thank Tyler Perry [the man behind The Six Triple Eight.]”
There was only one problem. The audience reminded her that she did. And with that, she walked off the stage with her tail between her legs.
Personally, as cute as that was, I think what she did was wrong. It took away from Clifton and Mosley. But as a girl from The Bronx like her, I completely understood what she did. Because you can take a girl out of the Bronx, but you can never ever take the Bronx out of a girl!
Now, over to Tyler Perry. He was touched by what she did and commented about it on social media: “Wow!! MOVED TO TEARS. I can honestly tell you that I live my life never, ever doing a good thing expecting something in return… I give, do, help, try, and lift us up because IT’S JUST THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Why did this move me so much? Because I’ve helped thousands of people—literally thousands of people—live better lives, and I can honestly say, for me to receive a THANK YOU is very rare. So to see someone interrupt a live show to say thank you when she already had moved me to tears.
“To anyone out there who is doing good and that good is ignored, not appreciated, or questioned… JUST KEEP DOING GOOD ANYWAY! Because IT’S RIGHT! GOD will reward you!”
Personally, he should be thanked more often because he has done so much for his actors, which he is loyal to.

Boo, Madea is back! |

Back in 2019, Tyler Perry announced that he was no longer going to make any Madea movies. Well, that was then, and a lot has happened since A Madea Family Funeral. Things like a global pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Because of all of that, Perry has declared, “We need to laugh. Too much is going on in the country. We need to laugh. So I was stunned.” Then he added his Madea voice, “But I wasn’t.”
Where will we see the 12th movie in the franchise? Perry will begin shooting the film next year, and then it will air on Netflix.
Did anyone really think we saw the last of Madea? I knew she would be back to cause trouble sooner or later. I am happy it is sooner.

The Emmys will honor Tyler Perry |

Let’s be honest, Tyler Perry is never going to get an Emmy for his acting, writing, or producing. Yet, he is getting one. For what? He, along with his foundation, “will receive the 2020 Governors Award in recognition of their unparalleled contributions to shaping the television medium,” on September 20th.
“I’m grateful for and humbled by this recognition from the Television Academy,” said Perry. “I’ve always prided myself on the work we do at the studio, our diverse representation of people from all walks of life, and the community we’ve built. My hope is that through moments like this we can remind others of the power of ownership and show that when the world doesn’t offer you a seat at the table, you can build your own.”
If any celebrity deserves it, it is him. Even before the pandemic, he would buy things for strangers all over Atlanta. He was the first one to give Cosby actor Geoffrey Owens a job on one of his shows after we found out he worked at Trader Joe’s. Then when COVID-19, the entertainment mogul made sure his shows were able to get back to work and get back to it safely.
Perry has a heart of gold and deserves to be recognized for it. At least the Television Academy got something right this year.

Tyler Perry shows us how he filmed Sistas safely at his Atlanta Studios |

Last year, Tyler Perry opened up his studios at an old army barracks in Atlanta, and he never knew how helpful that was going to be a few months later.
When the coronavirus pandemic happened, production shut down all over the world. Everyone was trying to figure out how to get back to work, including Perry. Then he realized, he has all of these empty barracks on his lot that he can use to house the cast and crew for two weeks while they shot a season worth of episodes. Therefore, he opened his doors, and let them in.
The Hollywood mogul via Atlanta described the last two weeks as, “We did it! We just wrapped season 2 of Sistas in our quarantine bubble at the studio. We called it Camp Q. 360 people all living on the lot for two weeks. We tested for COVID every 4 days, and thank God we were able to all remain COVID free as the bubble held up. Now onto The Oval. Thanks for the prayers!! We can feel them. @tylerperrystudios #SistasOnBET #TheOvalOnBET”
I am beyond impressed with what he did. How can you not be?
It will be interesting to see if the other studios here in actual Hollywood will follow suit. I mean, Warner Bros could turn the Ranch into a Tyler Perry Studios. All I know is I want my TV shows back. At least I will have Perry’s to watch because he is getting it down.

Tyler Perry is once again the Angel of Atlanta! |

On several occasions, Tyler Perry has given back to the residents of the city of Atlanta. Yesterday, he did it again.
He donated 1,000 $50 Kroger gift cards to the Atlanta Police Department to hand out to the people they protect and serve to help mend the relationship between the officers and themselves. The purpose is to get the two sides to talk. Hopefully, once they start talking, they won’t stop, and we will never have another George Floyd or Eric Garner.
Let’s get the conversation started because the best way to get to know someone is to ask questions and listen. It is easy to hate someone we don’t know; it is much harder to hate them when we get to know them.
When it comes to Perry, he needs to be awarded for all of his generosity.
