Tyler Perry: Plays Santa in Atlanta

Atlanta producer/actor/entrepreneur Tyler Perry has been busy filling Christmas stockings this season, helping a few charities in need.  His largest gift, $250,000, went to the NAACP as part of an ongoing commitment. He also gave $50,000 to Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless, a feeding and housing program created by the late civil rights pioneer Hosea Williams.

Perry also gave  $5,000 to a Cherokee County therapeutic equestrian program that was burglarized last month; and $14,000 to chess champion Orrin Hudson’s Be Someone program, which teaches chess to at-risk children.

The check to Hudson was to help bring his Stone Mountain youth center up to code: The county requires a minimum number of parking spaces at such facilities, and the grading and paving would have cost $28,000, Hudson said. Hudson already had $14,000 committed by an anonymous donor, and Perry matched that amount.

“We are training champions here at Be Someone, and Mr. Perry has been our champion today,” Hudson said.  “He’s a spiritual person,” Elisabeth Omilami said. “What he has is God-given, and to give back is critical to him.”

CRAZY RUMOUR : Madea and Taraji Henson Are Engaged?

Now from where I sit sorry Tyler Perry is, Down low, Hiding in the closet and behind Oprah. Here’s the latest: Director/actor Tyler Perry is said to be engaged to actress Taraji P. Henson, who plays his wife in Perry’s latest flick about family discord, The Family That Preys. Perry supposedly fell head over heels (or in this case, heels over heels) for Henson on the set of ‘Prey’. He supposedly popped the question over dinner. (Boy Stop!!) Either Taraji is blinded by the money or she is paying no mind to the rampant rumors concerning Mr. Perry’s extra-curricular activities.

It’s easy to look the other way when your man is showering you with diamonds and other pricey trinkets.
