Oprah Winfrey was hurt by Tyler Perry’s birthday gift… literally.
The 59-year-old TV veteran strained her back when trying to lift the huge flower arrangement Perry sent her.
“I like to send really large flower arrangements to people for whatever occasion,” the 43-year-old actor, director and screenwriter wrote on Facebook. “Well, I sent one to Oprah yesterday for her birthday. She strained her back picking it up. No joke!”
“Feel better Oprah. Happy birthday. Sorry,” Perry added. “Next year I’m sending her one rose.”
In the meantime, the two celebs, who are longtime friends, are collaborating on several sitcoms due out later this year for Oprah’s OWN Network.
The “Madea” star wasn’t the only celeb who took to Twitterverse to send birthday wishes to Oprah.
Fellow talk show host and comedian friend Ellen DeGeneres sent a funny birthday Tweet saying, “Happy birthday to my friend @Oprah. A confidant, a mentor, a source of endless inspiration. I love being all those things for you.”
Throwing out her back may have been the most eventful thing that occurred for the birthday girl, who amidst the flowers and birthday wishes, enjoyed a quiet day with her 61-year-old sweetie Stedman Graham.
“Thanks everyone for your birthday wishes,” O tweeted. “Enjoying lunch with Stedman. No plans to leave p.j.’s all day.”
But it’s back to work for Winfrey who is working on a Super Bowl spot and tweeted, “Putting the final touches on Super Bowl spot… Watch for it… Next Sunday.”
