REAL OR RUMOR: TYLER PERRY ACCUSED OF BEING A MALE DIVA?


Movie mogul Tyler Perry has brushed off reports he demands co-workers to call him by his last name if they want a response - insisting the moniker is used by the cast and crew out of "respect". The 39-year-old actor/director has come under fire for his inflated ego on the set of his television sitcom Tyler Perry's House of Payne, created and produced by the star since 2006. A source tells the New York Post: "Tyler makes everyone on his staff - the crew and cast - call him 'Mr. Perry' to his face. He won't respond to anyone who calls him Tyler." But his spokesperson insists the reports are made up, adding: "That's totally preposterous. I call him Tyler. Some people do call him 'Mr. Perry,' but it's out of respect."

I honestly don't see the big deal. This man is signing their paychecks. I'd address him as Mr. Perry, too, and anything else he wanted me to call him...long as I get my damn check! Besides it's the professional thing to do.

LISARAYE REPORTEDLY STILL HOSPITALIZED AFTER PHYSICAL SCUFFLE WITH ESTRANGED HUBBY; ACTRESS SAYS 'HE'S OUT OF CONTROL.'


There's nothing worse than two grown-ass people fighting like a couple of untamed banshees with no common sense. It's even worse when those grown-ass people each hold elite titles of a tropical paradise. To say that things grew beyond ugly between LisaRaye and her estranged husband, Michael Misick, the Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands, would be an utter understatement. Reportedly, the two were involved in a violent confrontation at the Premier’s mansion on Wednesday night. The fight, which reportedly occurred in the presence of a number of government officials resulted in both Misicks seeking emergency medical attention for bites. Each has filed a police report against the other. See, what had really happened was LisaRaye had returned to the TCI this week, to negotiate a divorce settlement--a process that has not been in her favor at all. According to unconfirmed reports, after arriving at the TCI airport (she flew coach), LisaRaye was greeted, much to her chagrin, without her standard motorcade to escort her to her former home. She also noticed that the portrait of her and Misick which is always displayed in the airport, had been replaced with just a photo of Misick. This, coupled with all the other drama, had to have set her off big time.

On Wednesday night, LisaRaye, who was banned from the main house, decided to confront Misick at his mansion. Sources claim the First Lady drove her car through a barricade at the house, parked her car and barged into a closed door meeting between the Premiere and his cabinet ministers which resulted in the violent altercation. According to sources, LisaRaye, her cousin Phillip Travis, and her publicist Lynn Jeter assaulted a guard at the Premier's home, proceeded to ransack the house, and then assaulted the Premier and his sister. As the result of her assault on them, both the Premier and his sister were taken to the hospital with injuries and later released. A publicist for Misick released a statement stating, "It is public knowledge that the couple has been separated for months, and LisaRaye has no lawful right to be in the residence. Her conduct yesterday clearly contradicts her stated commitment to dissolve the marriage amicably. The Premier allegedly at no time had any physical contact with LisaRaye.”

See what happens when people start acting ugly? It ain't a pretty sight. This is also the result of what happens when a person agrees to marry another person after only knowing them for a month. There are also more statements made by LisaRaye via an interview with a local television station (watch vid after the jump). Read about that by clicking 'READ MORE AFTER THE JUMP!'

However, as of late Thursday night, an anonymous source told EUR website: "He [Michael] beat her bad. She came in the same day Rocsi went out, and he had already issued the statement that they were separated. Apparently she went over there and got into the fight. She's now in the hospital. The sub-story is that he has been under investigation because $57 million dollars is missing from our government. They froze all of his bank accounts. He's getting a separation because he can't afford to get a divorce." Misick, according to the source, also dispatched his fleet of bodyguards to stand around the perimeter of the hospital to prevent reporters from interviewing LisaRaye about the incident.

Well, as expected, LisaRaye also released a statement in which she said, "It is with great sadness that I have to announce that my husband and I have separated. Last night, Wednesday August 13, 2008, an attempt was made by and on behalf of my husband to first prevent my entry into our home and then, later, to make me leave our home by force. It was necessary for me to receive medical treatment for injuries suffered and in relation to those injuries I shall continue to assist the police force with its enquiries. Whilst it is my sincere wish to avoid unnecessary conflict, I shall not be intimidated, nor shall those individuals whose job it is to protect and represent me. Although I have always been a supportive wife even in light of the very serious allegations currently pending against the Premier, there are limits even for me. Until recently I had hoped that I would be able to continue to assist my husband during what will undoubtedly be difficult times ahead for him. I do not wish to have to add to his difficulties.” After being banned from the mansion that she personally decorated, LisaRaye now has taken up residence at a local beach resort.

Also, on Wednesday afternoon during an impromptu interview with a local television station in TCI, LisaRaye continued to discuss the strain and stress that Misick has caused her. "With all that's happening with Michael and the rape and the corruption allegation and you know his ill behavior...I think he's just spiraling out of control. And I will just continue to be uplifting and I will pray for him.' LisaRaye went on to say, 'I was just as shocked about hearing about the rape allegations as everyone else. But just as any wife would be, when put in a position like this, it put a damper on the marriage. And all of the other things that are going on. All of the disrespect is just...I will remain uplifting and pray for him."

And although her marriage and title as the First Lady of Turks and Caicos is rapidly dissolving at the seams, LisaRaye says, with or without Michael, emphasis on 'without', she will continue to support TCI. 'I'm going to be here. You know, I will forever be connected to Turks and Caicos. And I know that even with me coming down here and giving up a portion of my life here, I've been embraced. I've done things here and I have plans for Turks and Caicos and well.'

LisaRaye says the dissolvment of her marriage with Missick is hard to swallow. But she is not giving up on the institution of marriage.

KIMORA ON BEING BRANDED A DIVA: 'IN REALITY I'M A DEDICATED MOTHER AND A VERY KIND, FUNNY AND HARDWORKING PERSON.'


"I hear the craziest things, like, 'She has to have a champagne glass filled within a quarter inch of the lip. The reality, is I'm a dedicated mother [to daughters Ming Lee, 8, and Aoki Lee, 5] and a very kind, funny and hardworking person. My reality-TV show helps to shed a bit of light, but even that's glamorized. Sometimes people who don’t know me say really cruel things that are way off base. But you can't care too much about what people think of you. You have to establish your own set of core values: honor, respect, tenacity, intelligence and humor and live by them. Do your best, and live with the repercussions of your choices – good or bad."

--Kimora Lee Simmons, speaking to Giant magazine (June/July 2008 issue) about constant reports that she is a bona fide diva. So remember folks - every time you spot Kimora decked in diamonds demanding that her staff cater to her every need, she’s just being hardworking!

IN TODAY'S EDITION OF: AS THE USHER PUBLICITY WHEEL TURNS: TAMEKA THROWS A 'BITCH ASSNESS' BITCH-FIT ON HUBBY'S VIDEO SET.

Usher, Tameka and Usher's PR team are wasting no time at all in the hopes of bringing as much he say/she say drama and utter madness before his new album drops this summer. According to the New York's Post Page Six, our favorite 21st century talking, walking version of a negro spiritual reportedly and allegedly put on a clown act on the set of Usher's new video, Love in the Club last weekend, making it apparently clear that she isn't going to let any woman step to her man...whether it's a part of that woman's job description or not. Page Six sources claim Foster was upset when she found out stunning singer/songwriter Keri Hilson was personally picked by Usher to play his love interest in the video. "It was supposed to be a sexy video shoot," our spy said. "And Tameka was there the entire time guarding like a watchdog. It was ridiculous - she knows Keri and knows she's no video ho or Karrine Steffans." Steffans, nicknamed "Superhead," wrote the book, Confessions of a Video Vixen," about her alleged flings with Usher and several other artists.

"Tameka is very insecure. Even in rehearsals she was weird and clearly not happy that Keri is so gorgeous. Tameka threw a lot of attitude. The day of the shoot, Tameka dressed Keri very badly - she looked like an extra. Tameka wouldn't let Keri have her hairdresser there - she had to use the hairdresser who was doing the extras." Foster also took a dislike to Usher's longtime choreographer, Jamaica, and banned her from the set. When Usher and Foster were spotted at the Beverly Hills Hotel last week, they barely said one word to each other. The two have had a choppy past. After they got engaged, Usher fired his mom, Jonetta Patton, as his manager and also axed his publicists. "Tameka was the one and only one to call the shots," spies said.

They were supposed to wed last summer at L.A. Reid's Hamptons estate - but the wedding was called off at the last minute. They wed a week later in Atlanta, and Foster gave birth to their son, Usher Raymond V, in November. Usher's album, which may be called "Regret," was supposed to have come out last year but was delayed due to his wedding and baby. It is now expected by June. Usher's manager, Benny Medina, said via e-mail: "Keri could not have been happier with Tameka's choices in the styling, hair and makeup . . . Jamaica was flown out and arrived a day late to do Keri's choreography, and was on-set at all times. The shoot itself went brilliantly."

'THE STUPID SHIT CELEBS SAY': MARIAH CAREY ON HER DIVA-ISH ATTITUDE.

'I've never done one diva-ish thing in my entire life, though I happen to be lying on a bed in high heels from the gentleman from Q magazine. The actual definition of a diva is a woman who sings well. The secondary definition is a woman who is difficult to deal with. I hope I am the first. I don't think I am the second. But these days everyone is a diva. "Oh, she's the diva of chocolate chip cookies. He's a real diva of garbage collection." If I'm a diva it's because I get the joke. I don't believe I am truly nasty and act in a bad way. The truth is I'm quite boring. I'm just as likely to be sitting in front of the TV with a bag of chips, watching my favorite show that I TIVO'd, as the next person.'

--Mariah Carey to Q magazine on her unfounded diva reputation.
