Where's Stedman?
Tyler Perry's mama didn't raise no fool. He's a hit on his own, evidenced by his $200 million syndication deal with TBS, but it can't but help to have Oprah on your side. Just ask Gayle King!
The filmmaker has been on Oprah several times. Now the duo (and of course always present Gayle) are enjoying la bella vita while vacationing in Portofino, Italy.
Wouldn't be surprised to see them working together on a project very soon.
The Queen of Talk, with an income of $275 million over the last 12 months, led Forbes magazine's list of the 100 most powerful celebrities in June and Tyler was 42nd.
Will his association with Oprah raise his stock? Time will tell. In a way, he can point to Oprah for his success.
According to Oprah.com, "Tyler once blamed his lack of success on his parents and others�as a result,he was homeless and living in his car just four years ago. Now his sold-out shows are getting rave reviews across the country. How did Tyler transform his life? He took responsibility. After years of intense anger and deep resentment, Tyler experienced an awakening.
One day while Tyler was watching The Oprah Winfrey Show, he took some timeless advice�it can be cathartic to put feelings down on paper. So Tyler started writing letters to deal with his painful childhood�letters that eventually turned into his plays." We all better get busy writing - and quit hatin'.
