Kim Kardashian Added to Cast of Tyler Perry’s The Marriage Counselor… [PHOTOS]

Oct, 25 2011 | Written by ATLien
It’s official. Kim Kardashian has finally taken food out of a “real” actress’ mouth after being cast in the next Tyler Perry film.

I guess you could say that Kim does SOME “acting” on her E! reality show, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”… but c’mon now Tyler!

Kim shared the news to her fans via the social networking site Twitter:

I see a lot of “butt shots” in Tyler’s future… [no homo]

Details below…

Kim and her husband, Kris Humphris were spotted together last night (above) as they supported her brother Rob’s Dancing With The Stars stint.

The pair JUST got married a few months ago and are rumored to be on the outs, which makes this news even more hilarious!

Kim has scored a co-starring role in “The Marriage Counselor,” the Lionsgate film Tyler Perry will direct next, based on his 2008 stage play of the same name.

Shooting starts October 26 in Atlanta, so all you ATL Kim K fans may get a chance to see her flossing around town with her BFF Ciara.

The film tells the story of Judith, an Ivy League-educated relationship expert who makes her living dispensing marital advice, but is so bored with her own marriage that she breaks her professional code and cheats with a smooth talking client only to realize she has made a huge mistake.

Jurnee Smollett plays the marriage counselor and Kardashian will play Ava, a co-worker who gives Judith a big city makeover and new confidence as she struggles with her personal issues. (source)

Word is, Kim has had a few other acting roles in the past. Besides her tv show, Kardashian previously played roles in the films Deep in the Valley and Disaster Movie.

Did any of you catch her in either of those films? *crickets*

Whatever the case, Kardashian’s name alone will be a huge draw for TP, so in that regard it’s MARKETING genius!

Do you think Kim Kardashian can carry off a big screen acting gig?

  I am up in the air – what was her previous acting credits? I know a ton of other actresses that would have done a great job but Tyler Perry is going after KK’s fan base. And Kim must have impress Tyler enough in order to be cast. duane – http://teampah3.myvi.net/challenge

  No one is throwing shade on KK or Tyler’s success. My thing is, I dont’ have to support his movies if I don’t agree with the choices that he makes. I’m going to be checking for you after the movie comes out to hear your comment, especially cause your always commenting on this sight.
  
  Jay1
  
  I agree cassandra. I’m pretty pissed about his decision to put another non-actor (side-eye/Janet Jackson/why did i get married) in another one of his films. I will not be spending the full price of admission to see this movie. I will probably borrow a boot-leg from a co-worker. Too many good folks out there on their grind looking for parts and tyler pics a faux-reality star? boo/hiss.
  
  NewMeKnowYou
  
  Jay1, you spoke the truth. For someone that’s just spoke of small beginning, he isn’t practicing what he preach. Their are a lot of not yet discovered talented actors that he could have picked for this part, however he chose someone with little and no acting ability based solely on who they are instead of what they can do.
- Evern L. Williams via Facebook
  
  she made 18 million on a fake wedding couldn’t he finesomeone else a real actress ther are a number of black, white asian, hispanic haitian who can use that money however it is his film I chose not to spend my hard earned money this time. As sucessful as he is he still feels he needs the white man to validate him before he fills he has made it poor soul.
  
  shad
  
  blah blah blah…here we go again with the race card…please don’t shuffle the deck …its not about race its about his choice

  I’m interested to see how this works. KK was in an episode of CIS:NY. I’m not gonna comment on that except to say I want to see how she has improved. Admittedly, TP movies are not my fave but he has taken many non actors and made it work.

  If Tyler Perry thinks adding Kim K will give cross over appeak he’s wrong. That’s like asking Paris Hilton to headline the Million Man March
  
  shad
  
  no its not..stop being silly
- Godfirstalways Stevens via Facebook
  
  Only acting she did was was on those sex tapes I agree tyler is only going on her fan base,why I dont know what has she or her family done to be famous other than her dad being one of o.j. Simpon lawers and her step dad being bruce jenner! He could have made a better choice cause all shes known for is her curves in a few years they say “kim who?”
  
  shad
  
  so what there are blacks who have became famous based on who they were realted to….so whats the big deal??????you all are simply jealous and racist…stop it people because youwould have a fit if someone said all of these nasty things about blacks…smh
- Chyna Ford Williams via Facebook
  
  I have seen every one of his movies…My daughter has EVERY movie &’d play he has ever made!!! BUT…I will NOT support this movie at all!!!
  
  shad
  
  racist??????????….wow..check yourself sweetie…not a good look
  
  Karen
  
  Why does Chyna have to be a racist. Her comment does not mention anything about race… Stop playing the race card yourself Shad!!!
  
  shad
  
  simply because she isnt gonna support the movie based on who is in it…tp has had movies with less talented black people in it i didnt see these types of comments so we all know why people are meaning mean…dont play dumb

  He continues to do what no other has done before. Take your complaints to God in prayer.

  Like what exactly?
  
  Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby were making black films before him and so were Melvin and Mario Peoples as well as Michael Schultz (yes he’s black too).
  
  Black plays/theater existed before Tyler Perry.
  
  I swear, black folks don’t know their history! Shameful.
- Kamalla
  
  All the ACTUAL black actresses out there struggling to find work and he gives a major part in his film to this d*ck sucker? Just a shame. I’m sorry but her fan base isn’t all that. Remember, her core fan base are teenaged white girls and college aged latina and black men and last time I checked, Tyler’s films do not cater to these people. His films cater to black women with children. If he wanted to work with Kim so bad then he should have created a film just for her where she is the lead character and the characters revolve around her. Kind of like her real life. 🙂
  
  shad
  
  you sound silly..youmean to tell me thatthere arent any black women that have made the same mistakes thatkim has made?…please give me a break
  and so what if her fan base is teeneaged white and latina girls…
  you all would have a fit if someone were doing this much cyber protesting to a black actor in a white producers film…and look at it a lot of blacks non talented as well as talented ones are in films produced by whites…you all need to wake up
- Michelle Atkins via Facebook
  
  Why when there R so many credible/worthy actresses avialable. Love T perry but I this that just for this reason, I will pass on this!
  
  shad
  
  because she is available…you all wouldnt be making a stink about this if she were a black woman…smh what a shame
- shad
  
  did any of you all make the same ugly comments when spike lee put whites in his movies?…or when you saw kathy bates in tp’s other movie???… no because you all weren’t jealous of the white stars they presented with…leave that girl alone and let her make her money…jealousy and racism will get you no where and besides that..it hurts…we should know that first hand….so stop
  
  Jay1
  
  Shad will you SHUT UP!!. If people on this site are not feeling KK, What business is it of yours? Kim is not known for acting and you know it. She’s known for being the connoisseur of black men and her faux reality shows. She’s a rebuilt chick with no talent and willing to say and do whatever to make that dollar. Ever heard of selling your soul?
  As a matter of fact all those Kardashians have made a pledge to only date Black men with money, except for the mama. She not into dark meat. I know that KK may be your role model but she ain’t mine. And stop commenting on everybodies comments. That’s creepy.
- Sara
  
  @ Shad
  
  First off Kathy Bates is an award winning actress that guess what can act. I have no clue regarding Spike Lee’s choices because I’ve never watched one of his movies.
  
  shad
  
  i understand that kathy bates is an award winner but people are judging and forming harsh opinions solely based upon kim’s race…if she were a black woman who smiled for the camera while in bed with a boyfriend nothing would be said if she were a black woman with little or no talent..again no one would say a word…so again all the cruel comments shouldn’t be…its all based on race…again..what a shame
- Rio
  
  Is Shad Tyler Perry??
  
  shad
  
  lol..no i’m not…its just that the race crap is so old and tired to dislike a person becasue of their race is so not nice and its also hurtful…we as black people know this first hand we hate when people do it to us…but some of us turn around and do it to others…makes no sense
- NewMeKnowYou
  
  Ok what child is going to be molested, who’s going to get beat up in the relationship, or who’s cheating on whom?
- Sasamina
  
  Booo on Tyler for this…just boo! Kim K shouldn’t have even been considered for this role, with her prissy ass. On a separate note, she’s rocking the shit outta them leather pants. That girl can dress…maybe she should stick to being a stylist.
- AKAGold
  
  @Shad, do you realize YOU are the one bringing up color more than anyone else’s comment on this site?! I had to re-read to see if I am missing something because all of your responses to other commentors is that that are racist or haters. HUH?!!
  
  If you really read what the majority of people are saying it is the impression is (1) There are other qualified actresses (non-Black) that could/would have wanted a role like that, (2) Her background may not reflect the type of message that typically comes from TP movies and (3) TP is chasing the money and KK is continuing to stay in the spotlight, for many that is full overexposure and for the most part, we are over it!
  
  No where did I read anyone say "I hate her because she is White!" Not true!! I loved all of the non-Black actresses/actors TP has had in each of his movies – this is the only one I give a side-eye too. I will wait for the video but the reality is, TP is going to get a HUGE paycheck with this one, regardless if it is good or not!!
  
  Shout out to Jurnee Smollett who is being overlooked as the REAL star….
  
  shad
  
  thats what it boils down to is color..theyare disappointed and feel let down because he stepped out of the box…they wouldnt question it if were a non talented black person..and you know this to be true as well so please stop fronting…stay real..
- shad
  
  @ jay 1 …so is it creepy that you are making comments in reference to what i say?…of course not because its an open forum…thats what people do ..so why dont you shut up…that was a silly comment…so typical of a high school drop out…smh
  
  and kim isnt a role model of mines was checking on the rude comments seeing that
  if someone does it to a black person you all would hit the roof..
  
  next topic please…
- RubyRubySea
  
  This makes me nervous, really NERVOUS…why? Because as a Black woman my options are very limited, very LIMITED…So, I would like to see a Black man give a sister some work because a White man will only give work to Black folks if he absolutely HAS to and then with hostility and drama. I am really nervous about what Tyler has done because it sets the standard that for many folks who look like him – there is no hope…Black folks can be talented, available, professional, tenured yet they are not as marketable as other folk. Which is a lie. Folks like Tyler Perry are the ones who dictate who is marketable or not. They cast whom THEY want and we the public have to accept it, pretty much. It makes me nervous, Tyler is proving that once you make money and a name that’s all you care about. All your other virtues/values go out the window. Once you reach a certain plateau you "change" and become well, like everyone else who is already there and perpetuate the status quo. It just makes me uneasy. Does the "altitude" really have that much power? Or does making a certain amount of money make you lose your mind? What is it – really – what is it? Black folks support, spend their money, spend their time and again and again they are betrayed by the very ones they are supporting…I am uneasy about it…Will the Kardashians cast more Black folks on their shows in front of the camera, in prominent roles? Not yet…it’s unfortunate, at least to me…
