Lara's Blog: Tyler Perry is All in the 'Family'

In theaters September 12, 'The Family That Preys' is a contemporary drama about two very different families torn apart by greed and scandal. Tyler stars alongside a stellar cast that includes Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard, Robin Givens, Cole Hauser and Sanaa Lathan.

And Tyler has a special breaking news announcement only for "The Insider":

"I do [have an announcement]: 'Meet the Browns,' the television show, starts in January on TBS," Tyler tells Lara. "Same kind of situation as we did for 'House of Payne' -- and you're the first to know. [You] talked me into it."

Check back tomorrow for Lara's full interview with Tyler!
