With the release of his forthcoming film, 'I Can Do Bad All By Myself,' a little over a week away, growing media maverick Tyler Perry has plans on using his home network station, TBS, as the ultimate marketing tool.

On Sept. 9 Perry will utilize the network in addition to his Atlanta-based studios to televise a one-hour special entitled 'The Tyler Perry Show,' to help showcase the film's stars including Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson, Image Award-nominee Adam Rodriguez, and Grammy-winning recording artist Gladys Knight and Marvin Winans.

In between the cast member's discourse on a variety of topics ranging from their lives and current projects, Knight and Winans will give fans an exclusive performance of two songs featured from the motion picture soundtrack ('Need to Be' and 'Just Don't Wanna Know').

Following in the traditional vein of previous Madea films, 'I Can Do Bad All By Myself' is expected to give audiences star-studded performances from the likes of the aforementioned Perry, Henson, Knight, Winans, and Rodriguez, in addition to Mary J. Blige, Brian White, and others.

'I Can Do Bad All By Myself' hits theaters Sept. 11 while 'The Tyler Perry Show' premieres on TBS Sept. 9 at 11 PM/ET.
