Tyler Perry Addresses Mariah Carey's Exit From 'Colored Girls'

In a letter to his fans, Tyler Perry admits that he was caught off guard by Mariah Carey's sudden withdrawal from his latest film, 'For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf.' But he also had some good news: Thandie Newton, Michael Ealy and Tessa Thompson are set to join the cast.

"I'm there on vacation, celebrating life, thanking God and just relaxing when I get a message that I have to come home, that Mariah has dropped out of the film! I said 'What? You're kidding?' It's five she has to go to work, nobody does that. We have a deal. IT'S FIVE DAYS BEFORE SHE IS SUPPOSED TO GO TO WORK! So, I got on the plane and came home and started trying to re-cast this major role in the film."
