Diana Ross: Says No To Tyler Perry Movie

According to American tabloid the National Enquirer, the singer as refused repeated requests to costar with the House of Payne creator because she regards his body of work — including Madea — as too low­brow.

“Diana feels Tyler’s mov­ies, TV shows and especially his main character ‘Madea’ have no substance,” a source said.

Perry has been trying to work with his idol Diana for years, sources say.

“But she refuses to even discuss the prospect with him,” said the insider.

“Diana is all about her enter­tainment legacy. The last thing she wants is to co-star in a cheesy comedy starring a black man in a fat suit playing a half-cocked, angry old woman waving a gun.”
