11 is Enuf For Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry's ensemble opus For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf is barreling through the development process, which naturally means you-know-what: Casting rumors! And the typically press-shy Perry was happy to start them while promoting his new film I Can Do Bad All By Myself, name-dropping an 11-woman dream team of Halle Berry, Angela Bassett, Ruby Dee, Cicely Tyson, Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey, Thandie Newton, Kimberly Elise, Beyoncé Knowles, Mariah Carey and Alicia Keys. He reportedly confirmed that six of the actresses had said "yes," but declined specify which six. Keys is in for sure, but I can't be certain about the rest: Berry's got sharks to fight and everybody knows Oprah doesn't do choreopoetry. Suggestions? [AOL Black Voices]
