Madea's Muses: Recurring Stars in Tyler Perry Films

A rundown of the filmmaker's fave actors.

Bobbi Kristina Brown - There's no doubt Tyler Perry has an eye for talent, and looks like he spotted Whitney Houston's spark in Bobbi K. Less than two months after losing her mother, the 19-year-old landed a recurring role on Perry's hit TBS series For Better or Worse. (Photo: Gregg DeGuire/PictureGroup)
Kim Kardashian - Perry's decision to cast the newly-divorced reality star in The Marriage Counselor was met with controversy — some diehard Perry fans even declared they would boycott the film. But the filmmaker stood up for his star, telling fans via his blog that "it would be very responsible of [Kim] to be a part of this film. To have the young people that look up to her see her in a film that is about what happens in life when you make the wrong choices." (Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)
Janet Jackson: May 16 - The pop icon and newlywed celebrates her 47th birthday.

"I am happy for Tyler’s success…we need Tyler Perry," he told students at Rutgers University. "But…I’m not with buffoonish characters like Madea or Big Momma.” C'mon, Idris. Wouldn't a "thank you" have sufficed? (Photo: Joe Kohen/[SOURCE CREDIT)
