"Madea" Actor/Singer Terrell Carter Outed by Ex-Boyfriend

Story source: Rod 2.0 and Sandra Rose

Terrell Carter, the talented singer and actor who starred in a number of Tyler Perry's "Madea" productions, becomes the second black male celebrity outed in the last two weeks.

Carter starred in Tyler Perry’s Class Reunion and Meet the Browns, as well as the screen adaptation of TP's Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Carter was also in the "What's Done in the Dark" plays. The six foot five, dark and lovely actor with the phenomenal voice also has quite the phenomenal physique, which made him all the more popular among female audiences.

Alex Cortez, the apparent ex-boyfriend seen above, posted the pictures across the intenets, starting with the hugely popular Lipstick Alley mesageboard, then moving onto his MySpace and Twitter accounts to blast his ex. Cortez (@Model is Cute) Tweets: "Hell yeah i’m angry!…there are fucked up ppl out there no matter how nice they seem to be & it’s their fault, ppl they harm are bitter!"

The black gossip blogs are in their usual feeding freezy over rumors. MediaTakoeut.com has 450 comments, mostly negative. Popular black celebrity blogger Sandra Rose reported on Carter's rumored sexuality last year, stating the handsome singer was involved with Noah's Arc actor Christian Vincent. "All I can say is there are photos for sale. And I will leave it at that." Rose was also one of the first to break this story and wryly observed what is surely an open secret in black Hollywood: "Just because Terrell once starred in a Tyler Perry film means nothing. Only 99% of the actors in Tyler’s movies are gay. Terrell might be in that tiny 1% minority who isn’t gay."

Terrell Carter is the second black male celebrity outed in the last ten days. Reality star Dorion Standberry (BET's College Hill) was blasted ten days across the internets, also by an ex-boyfriend seeking revenge. Although Rod 2.0 had advance knowledge of both stories, we chose not to report the first one, and, took our time posting the Carter outing. Look at the picture above with the couple kissing and it's obvious Terrell Carter trusted this man. I'm all for gay men, especially black gay men, to come out of the closet. But if you're outed kicking and screaming, or by a jealous or scorned lover, it probably does more harm than good.

The BET Awards....

WAS A MESS!!! It was all over the place. No cohesiveness. They literally tried to throw a show together in 48 hours after hearing of Michael Jackson's death. Rule #1 - If you can't and don't have the energy, talent, or time then don't do it. They simply could have done a montage of videos, footage, and let a few entertainers speak and left it alone. But, the folks at BET put out a statement that the show was a tribute to Michael. Okay, so the tribute to Michael Jackson throughout the show....well, it didn't happen. They threw in some people - New Edition (With Bobby Brown), Ne-Yo, Ciara, and Jamie Foxx to sing tributes. It didn't work. Ne-Yo was the only one who did a proper tribute.


Monica and Keyshia Cole were a good duet and performance, but Monica looked amazing and her voice is bananas!!!


Did you hear about the new movie, "Skank Robbers" with Femme Fatales Sheneneh Jenkins and Wanda Reid? Naw, it's not a real movie, but they definitely need to make it into one!


The O'Jays were honored and they gave a great performance. They showed the young entertainers how it's really done to have classic music, moves, and showmanship!


Maxwell peformed his hit song, "Pretty Wings," but before he performed Jamie Foxx made an asinine statement saying, "Only ladies stand up for this man!"


The highlight of course was Janet Jackson's appearance and moving words about her brother's death. Then the tribute song by Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx...

I Am At A Loss For Words - R.I.P. Michael Joseph Jackson

1958 - 2009

I am really at a loss for words. I am stunned beyond belief. This moment is very surreal for me.

As someone who has had to bury his own brothers I know the turmoil and pain the Jackson family is experiencing right now.

My prayers are with Michael's family and the rest of the world who loved him so.

Is This Bullying?...

This video contains explicit language.

Is this bullying? I'm just asking since we've had to deal with the two 11-year old boys who committed suicide after being harassed by their peers.
