TERRENCE HOWARD HAS BEEN KNOWN TO STRETCH THE TRUTH

Under Terrence Howard’s flashy gold sport jacket he’s wearing a shirt with a large dog’s face on it. The smooth-talking Atlanta star is a man of contradictions. One puzzling feature is his educational history, which is unconfirmed, to put it politely. A few years ago he bragged on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he has a PHD in chemical engineering from South Carolina State University. In fact, he spoke at the school’s commencement ceremony in 2012, and they presented him with an HONORARY Doctorate of Humane Letters. He never went to that school and SCSU doesn’t even OFFER a PHD in chemical engineering.

KIM KARDASHIAN’S STRANGE OUTFIT FOR A MOVIE SCREENING

Kim Kardashian overdressed for the first screening in Atlanta of Tyler Perry’s movie Temptation in which she has a supporting role. Her black leather leggings and heavy black glittery lace coat stood out among the casually dressed crowd. She brought her hair and makeup people along for the appearance, but there was no sign of Kanye West. Back in LA she registered at the upscale shop Bel Bambini so her friends can buy expensive gifts for her baby. One would think that after all the gifts from her last wedding went unused, she would prefer having friends donate to charity instead of buying her more.

TYLER PERRY: REAL ESTATE SIZE QUEEN

Tyler Perry’s spending habits are the talk of Atlanta. The incredibly successful film-maker’s movies are non-union, but he keeps buying larger and more extravagant houses – in spite of the fact that he’s single. Our friend The Real Estalker has dubbed him a “real estate size queen.” (And he always seemed like such a modest, down-to-earth guy.) He’s in the process of unloading his 8800 sq ft LA house for 13 million, and his 17,000 sq ft Atlanta mansion for $3,650.000. Tyler bought a 58 acre Atlanta estate (with an 18 hole golf course, a garage for forty cars, and a band shell) and DEMOLISHED the monstrous 36,000 sq ft house so he could build a BIGGER house! (above) What does one man DO in a house the size of Macy’s in New York? Tyler insists God gave him all this because he “believes,” but we think his moviemaking skills had more to do with it.
