No Kidding

Keshia Knight Pulliam (who, as child played Rudy from 1984-92 on ""The Cosby Show") has landed a role as an imprisoned prostitute in "Tyler Perry's Madea goes to jail" according to Reuters.

The film, based on Perry's play of the same name, centers on Madea (Perry), whose knack for finding trouble lands her behind bars.

While there, she comes to the rescue of Candy (Pulliam), a fellow inmate preyed upon by a large woman named Big Sal.

Derek Luke is in line to play Joshua, an attorney who has a past with Candy.

Perry is producing as well as playing multiple roles.

It's hard to think of Pulliam as a grown up--even now-16 years after Cosby...But she's teamed up with a very talented and funny guy...Hmm. Sound familiar?
She's in good hands.

Filming is set to begin in mid-May in Atlanta for an early 2009 release.
