Tyler Perry is moving forward on his next directorial feature, it's a comedic drama called The Marriage Counselor, which has just nabbed reality sweetheart
Kim Kardashian. She has joined as a costarring role in the upcoming comedic drama movie directed by
TP.
Not much of a departure for Tyler Perry, The Marriage Counselor revolves around Judith, a slick Ivy-league educated advice expert played by Jurnee Smollett. Unhappy, and bored with her own marriage, Judith goes against her own code of conduct and cheats on her husband with a smooth talking player that comes to her seeking relationship guidance. Realizing she has made a huge mistake, she enlists the help of her friend Ava to give her a makeover and new confidence as her life unravels.
Funny as life may have it Kim K. will play Ava, her most substantial role in film thus far. The non-actress was previously seen in the spoof Disaster Movie and in the Chris Pratt cult comedy Deep in the Valley.
Tyler Perry begins shooting The Marriage Counselor this week, starting October 26th, in his home base of Atlanta. The Marriage Counselor comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Kim Kardashian,Tyler Perry, Jurnee Smollett.
While we are on the Dashian- Humphries family here'’s a bonus,
Kim Kardashian's husband claims snaked out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by a guy he invited to his wedding (see he should have invited us)... the guy who's been arrested for allegedly running a $1.7 million investment scam. Andrey C. Hicks was a guest at Kim and Kris Humphries televised wedding bonanza in August ... and sat right behind the happy couple during the rehearsal dinner.
After the wedding, Kris learned Andrey was a target in a federal investigation in which he's suspected of raising money for a purported billion dollar hedge fund ... that didn't really exist. Officials believe Andrey lied to several investors -- including Kris -- telling them, among other things, that he was a Harvard graduate ... when in fact, he was kicked out of the University after 3 semesters for crappy grades. Officials say Andrey only took 1 math class at Harvard ... and got a D-.
Officials claim 27-year-old Hicks stole $1.7 million from various investors ... and sources close to Kris tell us the NBA star accounted for hundreds of thousands of dollars himself. Hicks was arrested in Canada on Friday and charged with wire fraud. Officials believe he was trying to flee to Switzerland. If convicted, Hicks could face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
