Tyler Perry is full of good deeds and this week is no exception, first he covers Essence magazine and talks about the black woman trapped inside of him.  Tyler Perry is grateful for Black women, including Cicely Tyson, in the latest issue of Essence.

In an excerpt from his November cover story released Tuesday, Perry champions the power of women.

"When Black women are down with you and in your corner, you have an ally that will move heaven and earth," Perry tells Essence.

According to Essence, Perry and his work, both on and off screen, are admirable. "Tyler Perry has only just begun to soar. Respected as a writer, director and mogul, the man behind the $1 billion-plus Madea franchise is now moving into unchartered territory: Action hero. Essence goes along for the ride as the tireless entrepreneur and philanthropist talks about his love for Black women, one of his last conversations with Whitney Houston the night Michael Jackson died and what intimidated him the most about taking on the role of detective Alex Cross," reports Essence.

 And if that isn't enough Tyler sent an email to his fans has entered an exclusive partnership with OWN to make the network his "singular destination for all new television series and projects." That includes two new scripted series on track to premiere in mid 2013.

Perry's series will be OWN's first step into the scripted world, and the deal comes at a time when the struggling network is on a ratings upswing. "Oprah's Next Chapter" has been a solid performer since its debut.

And we are not done...we love Tyler over here and this to us means more then anything we written thus far.  After Perry heard a news report about a local disabled Georgia woman having her customized Chrysler minivan stolen from her house, the star decided to jump in and help.

Alicia Day is 24-years-old and suffers from Cerebral Palsy. She uses a wheelchair and her van is crucial for transportation.

Perry contacted Day and told her he would replace her van.

The van cost almost $60,000 dollars, Day and her family chose a 2011 Volkswagen Amerivan.
