Tyler Perry kicks off 2012 with the romantic dramedy Good Deeds . Wesley’s world is turned upside down when he meets Lindsey (Thandie Newton), a down-on-her-luck single mother who works on the cleaning crew in his office building. Wesley offers to help Lindsey, and soon sees his world and heart open to new possibilities. The cast includes Phylicia Rashad as matriarch Wilimena Deeds, Beverly Johnson, Rebecca Romijn ( X-Men ), Brian White, and Eddie Cibrian. Good Deeds opens in theaters nationwide February 24, 2012 TRAILER: RELATED POSTS: Gabrielle Union Stars In New Tyler Perry Movie “Good Deeds”
Before I gift you with John Cameron Mitchell’s cute and funny five-minute short film for Dior where Marion Cotillard endures a panic attack during a photo shoot, let me acknowledge one unsettling truth: When she’s wearing banana curls and pink lipstick, Cotillard is a dead-ringer for Katy Perry. I DID NOT MAKE THE RULES. I’m sorry I discovered this, and I hope we can join hands and chuckle as we watch this silly photoshoot parody. “Open up that neck for me!”
Say what you will about the films of Tyler Perry , at least he has an ethos. Good messages (well, the overt ones about living reasonable lives and personal responsibility) are what he’s about, and he doesn’t need to wear Madea’s signature muumuu in order to beat us over the head with them. For the latest dose of the master’s philosophizing I present the trailer for next February’s Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds — or, as we call it around these parts, The Perry.

This whole thing just keeps getting messier and messier. Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno has a treatable form of lung cancer, according to his son. Scott Paterno said in a statement provided to The Associated Press by a family representative on Friday that the 84-year-old Joe Paterno is undergoing treatment and that “his doctors are optimistic he will make a full recovery.” “As everyone can appreciate, this is a deeply personal matter for my parents, and we simply ask that his privacy be respected as he proceeds with treatment,” Scott Paterno said in a brief statement.
