Yeah, I was 1st.
I loved how Oprah tryed to trick Janet into saying that she was married. And I also wonder who Tyler Perry is dating. For some reason I thought he was gay.

I don’t know, but it’s gonna be funny seeing Tyler playing a role opposite a female character. He just comes off as a gay man. No offense. Whatever floats your boat.
I’m just saying……
But I will go and support the movie.

I was in the audience that day. It was ok. We got treated to a screening of the movie Tuesday night. The movie is EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!! Everybody has to go and see it. The show was ok, I was hopping for more audience participation, that kinda let me down. I must say though. Jill Scott is one sexy woman! I Wish Oprah talked to her more. IT was more about Janet, and hearing the same ol same ol. WE also got Jill Scott’s new album as a gift as we were leaving.

#13 How does Janet look in person…and does she play a big part in the movie? Oh and did Tyler Perry seem a little homo in person…and, how does Oprah look in person as well..is she as ugly as I imagined her to be? I can’t wait to see this movie…I love me some Tyler Perry movies like this!

I saw the show too. I guess it was ok. I felt like Oprah ignored Jill. Lately I’ve not been feeling Oprah at all. Watch how she talks to people, like she knows everything, and since you’re on her show, you have to agree with what she says…get out of here…But anyway, can’t wait for the movie. And I absolutely LOVE The Real Thing. Go Jilly from Philly!

I think the movie will be pretty good. I haven’t been let done yet. Did anyone see Oprah? I thought Jill looked really pretty. Her makeup was on point.
As for TP, I love him and all, but something about him just does not seem straight. I wish him the best though.

I saw the show last night. Oprah did seem to spend a lot of time talking to Janet. I wish she had engaged Jill more in conversation. But overall the show was good.
Why does everybody keep saying Tyler is gay? We really have to stop putting that label on our black men just because they don’t fit into our pre-conceived ideas of how a man should act or be. Black women already complaining about a so-called “shortage” of good black men. They are either in jail, married to a white woman, on the DL, or they get classified as gay. Come on now.

Tyler Perry did a good thing. The movie is going to be great.
Janet looked good but that Jill Scott LOOKED fantabolous!
I wished Oprah had spent more time talking to Jill about the movie and the new music. I wished she had performed!
But in all it was a good show! Me likey!

————————————
I really think he was talking about her. It usually takes anywhere from 12-18 mo from production to screen. If i’m adding right it would be right around he dated her. Oprah co-signed like he totally confided. It is what it is.

Aries
Thursday, October 4, 2007 /
#28(Dame) Why wouldnt he want to put his name infront of his films, From what i can recall, all producers and directors do that. Everytime i see a movie commercial, it says something like “A martin scorsee film” or something of that nature. And if it doesnt have a name on it, itx cuz the director is probably not known. I dont know, JMO

If you don’t have Jill Scotts new cd just know that it’s a must have. And as for the movie. I haven’t missed one yet and I don’t plan to. Big props to Tyler, and the entire cast. You see they tried to play him and release Queen the same day. Bunch of bullish if you ask me.

Richard:
What does Oprah look like in person? Oprah, aint that a pretty namer pa? Oprah, Oprah , Oprah!
I just imagine she looks like a big ole sexy piggy bank, waiting to be busted open.
Seeeeexy!
Tyler Perry is definitely doing his thing. He has tapped into and audience with the sisters and now he’s writing his ticket. I read some time agao about his struggles and journey to stardom. Much respect brother. I will absolutely support this film.
Now I haven’t heard any serious stir, like when Dreamgirls was coming and JHud was being discussed, but I hope Jill gets the attention she deserves. Hopefully no will have to ask, “Who is Jill Scot” after this. She God sent and I love her . Haven’t copped the CD yet, but it is already on my Christmas list for several of my friends.
Janet sweetie, it’s over. Face it. I’m sure you did well too Penny, but the excitement over you has certainly faded in my eyes. Nipple Gate was a poor attempt to stay relevant and I didn’t buy that sh*t. Plus it’s time to challenge yourself with a more demanding role don’t you think? I mean something that we won’t expect, like a hit woman or a spy. Something to help you make the sh*t again. I’m waiting for the modern remake of Coffey or Piece of the Action.
Also, isn’t Malik Yoba in this flick? Good Brother.
on a side note…..can anyone tell me, “Where the hell is Larenz Tate?” Good brother, good actor. From O-Dog to Frankie, that brother can act! Dead Prez is my sh*t!

The word is Jill Scott’s performance in the movie is spectacular.
I wish Oprah would of talked to Jill more too. Jill looked beautiful by the way.
I think Tyler is dating Tasha Smith, who also is in the movie (remember she was the twins mother in ATL). But whoever he’s seeing, to me, he’s a good catch.

@#33 They filmed this movie earlier this yr around March. It does not take every movie 12-18 months before it comes oout. Tyler normally film his movies in the summer, and they come out in Feb. Sol, Meet the Browns will be out in Feb 08. Okay, getting back to your original statement, your theory about Tyler dating Tyra is all wrong!

Oprah totally ignored Jill Scott. Tyler Perry is “GAY” he was just to ready to talk about “SOME FAKE RELATIONSHIP” and to ready to bust out and talk about this “NEW FAKE GIRLFRIEND” and Oprah just shut him down on both attempts…cause she basically knows that he is “How Ya Doin” as well. Oprah spent to much time trying to praise and worship fake a$$ Janet when she needed to spend more time asking “REAL A$$ Jill” questions. Janet acts weird and nervous and scary and looks like a manequin whereas Jill Is FOREAL!!!!! Tylers new “TEETH” are just to PERFECT and makes him look like a GAY HORSE. Just come on out the closet…we will still support your GAYNESS.
52.
And you are telling me this because?
Thursday, October 4, 2007 /
Well there are certain things a man does that make you thiink that he is suspect and I just get that vibe from Tyler. And women need to screen men because while signs telling you he may be gay and later on you are angry that you ignored these signs bc you thought he was just different.

Um @40 DROPKICK- Why is it over for Janet!!! she will always have it, the past is the past, u think people always bring up the Madonna ‘Sex book”, Please I hate when we have these beautiful sistas doing the damn thing and we always got a hater in the audience. She has always been an actress from the start. Get a life! She looked good and i am looking foward to the movie as well. Yeah it woulda been kool to have the whole cast but Janet, Jill and Tyler are the Movies top billed actors that is why they were there.

I am siding a little with No 20. They have a point. Just because a black man doesn’t fit the sterotypical image of a black man-we stick him in the “how you doin” catagory. His claim to fame was the production of those stage plays–most black men in the “non-traditional arts” are going to to get the gay flag (no-pun).

Oprah is insecure around other women…she knew Jill conversation would have been interesting that’s why she ignored her. Because all Oprah do is talk, talk, talk herself and brag on what she’s done. Janet seemed to get annoyed by that herself when Oprah said Tyler came to pick her up and told Janet ‘Oh, you wouldn’t know what it was like when you were little to have your father drive you around’ That was rude!
But I’m glad to see Tyler bringing movies in an all black cast and that’s inspirational! Need more like it!

Janet is still flawlessly gorgeous. She is too cute and genuinely humble..that’s the key to being in the industry so long, and having so many faithful fans…love that girl.
Tyler is gaining weight, but i still think he’s handsome…yep, and the money don’t hurt one damn bit, yep Oprah, you’re right…I love how tyler is working with so many black actors….he is the black actor’s saving grace and gift right now. I’m sure everyone’s hoping to get in on that next tyler perry film, and just waiting on that phone call. His films are the thing to do among black hollywood now…i’m not into his plays.
Oprah tried to trick Janet into saying she’s married, but Janet is one smart cookie, love how she diverted that one and talked about one of her former marriages.
I love Jill Scott’s cd..i been playing everyday for the past 3 days.

oprah really did ignore jill scott… and it’s a shame because in the play, the character that jill play is tha main one, but they making janet out to be the main character
when are people going to give jill scott the credit she deserves?? she always puts so much passion and soul in everything she does, and is too often overlooked.
the movie looks great tho!! i cant twait to see it!!

Janet bores me and she just sat back and observed the interview from what I saw yesterday. On a side note she looked really pretty. From the previews it looks like Jill will really do her thang! She was filming while going through a divorce so i’m sure she will steal the show.
Is it obvious i’m a Jill Scott fan? LOL.

….how does Oprah look in person as well..is she as ugly as I imagined her to be?
_________________________________________________________
I went to a taping of the show. It was the one Russell Simmons and Diane Warren were on. I was actually surprised because Oprah looks exactly the same. You can tell she has on a lot of makeup, though. Her personality is the same too. I thought she would be a total bitch when the camera wasn’t rolling and that even during the show she would say stuff that they would edit out later but it wasn’t like that.
I really enjoyed this episode. I wish they had focused on Jill more. She looked SO GORGEOUS! Hopefully they will have her back on to talk about her album and what’s been going on in her life. The movie looked great as well. I can’t wait to see it.

The show was great yesterday…I’m definitely going to see the movie! Everyone looked great.
On another note….why do we as black people always try to start shit! I love some Janet and Jill Scott…and to have people try to make these two humble ladies compete against each other is ridiculous. I hear that both of them did a great job in the movie, so we should praise them both. We are sick…and we need to get well soon!
PS. Love Jill’s new cd! Go cop that.

its an ensemble cast and not jill’s movie…..she got her shine on in all the clips they showed so i dont think they were tryna plug janet as the main character…….they all looked great….janet just did her….she cant really help it if she’s a mega star….neither of them would probably be sittin on that stage rite now if janet wasnt in the movie….jus real talk….looks like a pretty good movie overall tho

I didn’t know Oprah & Tyler were that close of friends. You know every black woman has a gay bestfriend.

I’m not sure why people are tryin to put Janet and Jill against each other. They have both stated the love they have for each other in sepreate interviews. As much as no one likes to admit it, Janet is trailblazer for black women in the industry. I can’t give enough praise to Jill and her art.
Janet did not want all that attention and you can tell by her responses. Oprah focused on Janet and not the other way around.
Why can’t we just enjoy both these lovely women and support them. It’s so sad two beautiful, strong, black women cannot coexisit.
Get that new Jill Scott!!!
Support Tyler and crew.

Um Penny from Good Times (cute, but not groundbreaking. Kim Fields became a bigger child actor around the same time).
Charmaine from Different Strokes. Dated Willis (Survived the Different Strokes cast curse. Good for her)
Justice, okay now we’re talking. Regina King blew her dookie braids out and has since became a more established and respected actress than Janet, despite Janet’s 20 year head start.
Professor Klump’s love intrest in the Nutty Professor. (2nd fiddle to Jada, hmmmmm) Which of the two do you most remember?
Your right Scoob, dynamic actress!!!!! Talented, humble, beautiful…I’ll give her all that. An actress? Let’s agree that she’s always been on TV or in movies. That I can accept.

Actually I didn’t, but the discussion was her acting. As a performer and artist, she wrote the book for today’s Beyonce’s, Rhianna’s and Ashanti’s. They are all on her bra strap. She is an unbelievable performer. But I believe she is more a singer/dancer than actress.

Loved the interview @ 15 U very mean @ 32 Jill did seem sad but look very fine & sexy dig her whole aura. She look more sexier since her divorce. But sense there something she not revealing about her break up that is devestating her. But of course Oprah wasn’t interested she was to focus on Tyler. He is deserving of all his success & creating more roles for blacks which is great. Janet did seem a lil bored but looked beautiful. She seems at a crossroad in her life not really sure what direction to go in. But she is amazing I luv her. No one is interested in the other stars of the movie becuz there z- list people(who cares) There not superstars. Oprah focused on Tyler & Janet becuz they have millions of fans. But Jill intrigues me. She has a special gift that will make her a super star after this movie.
