Tyler Perry Studios Plans Major Expansion in Southwest Atlanta
Tyler Perry Studios is set to expand its footprint in southwest Atlanta with a proposed 38-acre development, marking a significant step forward in the revitalization of the historic Fort McPherson site. The new plans, filed by a City of Atlanta urban planner, outline the creation of the 'Tyler Perry Entertainment District,' a mixed-use development featuring office spaces, retail outlets, a theater, and parking facilities.
11Alive reports that the proposed expansion, spearheaded by developer Terragroup, seeks rezoning and permits for a 1.295 million square foot project. If approved, the development is expected to be completed by January 2028.

This move signals a renewed push to transform the decommissioned military base, which has been a focal point of redevelopment discussions for years. Tyler Perry, alongside Bishop T.D. Jakes, acquired portions of the Fort McPherson site in 2021 with the vision of breathing new life into the area. However, previous plans were stalled due to disagreements among partners, leaving the project in limbo.
The new filing suggests progress in overcoming these challenges, paving the way for a vibrant entertainment district adjacent to Perry's existing 330-acre film and television studio. This expansion not only underscores Perry's commitment to the community but also promises to bring economic growth and cultural enrichment to southwest Atlanta.
As the project moves forward, it holds the potential to transform the area into a hub for creativity, commerce, and community engagement, further solidifying Tyler Perry Studios' role as a cornerstone of Atlanta's entertainment industry.

‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' adds sex scene in surprising change from book
'The Summer I Turned Pretty' has managed to surprise longtime fans. In the newest episode of the popular Prime Video show, released Wednesday, Aug. 6, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Belly (Lola Tung) get closer than ever despite Belly's upcoming wedding to Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). 8 Belly (Lola Tung) and Conrad (Chris Briney) in the newest episode of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' Prime Advertisement 8 Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Belly (Lola Tung) in a still from Season 3 of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' Erika Doss/Prime Although many of the scenes are straight from creator Jenny Han's book trilogy of the same name, including one where Conrad sensually wipes Belly's chin with his hand after she eats a peach, some moments from the new episode never took place in the original novel. One of those moments comes when Conrad and Belly appear during a flashback from their last night together before their split. Advertisement The pair gets sexually intimate, marking a surprising contrast between what unfolds in the 'We'll Always Have Summer' book that the current season is based on and the show itself – especially because the original novel makes it clear that Belly never got intimate with Conrad or his brother, Jeremiah. 8 Belly (Lola Tung) and Conrad (Chris Briney) get intimate during a flashback in the new episode of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' Prime Han, who serves as co-screenwriter and executive producer of the hit Prime Video series, teased back in May that there were 'definitely changes' between her final novel of the trilogy and the show's third season. 'There are surprises,' she told Entertainment Weekly. 'And there are things that aren't exactly like the books.' Advertisement As for the beloved show's highly anticipated finale on Sept. 17, Han promised that it would be a 'satisfying' ending for everyone, whether they are familiar with her original trilogy or not. 8 Lola Tung and Christopher Briney during Season 2 of 'The Season I Turned Pretty.' Amazon/Courtesy Everett Collection 8 Belly (Lola Tung) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) during Season 3 of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' Erika Doss/Prime 'A successful love triangle is one where, no matter what happens, people are going to be devastated and heartbroken,' she teased. 'Because if the answer feels really clear and easy, then there's no real conflict. No matter what you do, someone's going to be hurt by it.' Advertisement The first season of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' premiered in June 2022, 13 years after Han released her book of the same name. Following the dramatic love triangle between Isabel 'Belly' Conklin and brothers Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher, the current and final season sees Belly finally choose between the siblings. 8 Belly (Lola Tung) in Season of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' Erika Doss/Prime Tung, 22, admitted that she was 'very emotional' shooting the final season after playing Belly for so long. 'I cried, naturally, many, many times,' the actress told Entertainment Weekly in July. 'I was 18 when I was first cast, and I just finished my first year of college, and I was 22 when we wrapped this year.' 'I really, really do feel like I have grown up a lot on the show… it's just been such a big chapter of my life — in a very important part of my life,' Tung added. 'It felt very special, very emotional, and [I'm] very proud and just happy with how everything's gone and how the story's been received.' As for Han, she said that she 'definitely cried' watching Tung, Briney, 27, and Casalegno, 25, bring her characters to life one last time for the final season of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' 8 Lola Tung, Gavin Casalegno, Christopher Briney, Rain Spencer and Sean Kaufman in 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' ©Amazon/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement 8 Belly (Lola Tung) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) in 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' Erika Doss/Prime 'It was, in some ways, surreal,' the author told the outlet. 'I remember Lola was like, 'You're not crying that hard,' and I was like, 'I'm always going to know you, and it doesn't feel like goodbye to me.'' 'Lola is so special and dear to me,' Han added. 'This is such a moment in time, but this girl, I'll see her soon.'

Katy and Justin? Pamela and Liam? Astrology Might Be the Reason for Hollywood's Surprising New Pairings
When pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau were spotted meandering around Montreal together last week, people on the internet lost their minds, wondering: Could these two actually be dating? But here at AstroTwins HQ, we took a different approach: celestial sleuthing. After all, we needed to know what in the astrology is going on these days that could contribute to such a duo. Turns out, there's an easy answer for this attraction; Mercury, the hot gossip planet, is retrograde from July 18 to August 11. And it's backing up through celebrity-loving, romantic Leo, which might explain why couples are bubbling up in the most DeuxMoi-worthy pairings. It turns out Perry (a Scorpio) has a thing for Capricorns, which happens to be the sun sign of both Trudeau and her ex Orlando Bloom. This is not at all shocking on paper. Water sign Scorpio and earth sign Capricorn have a natural affinity for one another, especially since both signs crave power and status. But a pop star and a politician? That's a combo we didn't see coming. Since Bloom and Perry share a moon sign—Scorpio—their relationship made a bit more sense according to the stars. In astrology, the moon represents one's emotional nature, comforts, and desires. Moon in Scorpio? That can bring intense chemistry—strong enough to keep a California songstress and English actor together for nearly a decade. Trudeau's moon in Aries can be equally dynamic with Perry's Scorpio moon, but with some flags. Where Perry's watery Scorpio moon longs for deep, enduring bonds, her Canadian crush has a very different temperament. Aries, a fire sign, is impulsive, take-charge, and easily bored. Their varying needs can make for a challenging adventure. Specifically, she might want the kind of reassurance he may not be able to give her from a distance. He might want a more readily available plus-one who doesn't need to hop an international flight for a date night. We'll just have to wait and see if this dual-citizenship dalliance evolves into years of canoodling in Quebec. Another surprise celeb mashup delivered by Mercury retrograde is that of Cancer Pamela Anderson and Gemini Liam Neeson, who have been promoting their new movie, Naked Gun, while looking quite 'smitten' with each other. As next-door neighbor signs, Cancer and Gemini don't have a ton in common—and therein lies the magic of this pairing. People-loving Geminis like Neeson are the toast of the town, while sensitive Cancers like Anderson can happily tuck away at home. In 2020, the Baywatch alum sold her Malibu mansion and moved back to her home of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where she's been gardening and canning like a full-on homesteader ever since. The two also have a highly compatible match with their moons in fire signs. Neeson's philosophical Sagittarius moon guarantees that he's always up for travel and adventure. Unlike our prediction for Katy Perry, we could see him making regular trips across the Canadian border this year. His lunar profile pairs perfectly with Anderson's Aries moon, which is active, curious, and always game to explore new topics of interest. No doubt they've both made the other's world feel a lot bigger and full of exciting possibilities. Another coupling that has Hollywood watching on is Cancer Tom Cruise and Taurus Ana de Armas, who met while working together. Astrologically, this match happens often. Traditional types who are more private than showy, both Cancer and Taurus like to keep the home fires burning. Plus, this is not the Mission: Impossible actor's first relationship with a brunette Bull babe. From 2001 to 2004, he had a high-profile romance with his Vanilla Sky co-star Penélope Cruz. And just like with all duos, remember: relationships can defy astrology—at least during the smitten stage. Still, astrologers know better than to place any big bets on celebrity news that breaks during Mercury retrograde. When the planet of information corrects course on August 11, we expect the view to become a whole lot clearer. For now, the popcorn is popping, and the paparazzi are in position. Even if a feature film doesn't get the green light, we're all enjoying the previews.
