We've got a huge 40th birthday surprise for the man behind Madea, Tyler Perry! When he walks out onto the stage, he is surprised to see the entire audience wearing shirts that reference his milestone birthday. "That is not cool!" Tyler jokes, before admitting it's a great stunt. He is also celebrating his latest box office hit, I Can Do Bad All By Myself, featuring the return of his beloved character Madea. "When they tell me I've got to put the costume on I'm like, 'Are you kidding?' Come on. The wigs and the makeup and the hair and the lipstick!" Rachael asks what bra size this tough-talking grandmother wears and he jokes: "Fifty triple double X, T, Q, C ... I don't know!"

On a more serious note, Tyler explains that he reunited with Janet Jackson over the summer for the sequel to Why Did I Get Married? "We were filming at the time of Michael's passing," Tyler says. "But what was so amazing and inspirational about it is her strength, and her character was really going through a lot of things and it was so odd how it paralleled what was happening in her real life .... There's a scene where she's angry and has to go through the house breaking things with a golf club -- she broke three golf clubs in the scene."
