Kevin Hart has stirred up some controversy within the gay community. In an interview yesterday with Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club,” the comedian admitted that he turned down the role of Alpha Chino in Tropic Thunder because, well… “The part was way [gayer] in the beginning. The dude… he was doing a lot of stuff in the draft that I read. It was real flagrant. It was a lot of stuff, and I was like, I can’t do this.” Kevin Hart: Why I Could Never Go Gay Hart made a point to say he’s “politically correct to the gay community” and that “I respect and appreciate anything and everything you all do. And as people, I love you.” But some are understandably upset over how Hart expounded on his comments. Could he ever portray a homosexual character on screen? “No. Not because I have any ill will or disrespect,” Hart said. “It’s because I feel like… I don’t think I’m going to dive into that role 100 percent, because of the insecurities about myself trying to play the part. “Does that make sense? Like, what I think people are going to think while I’m trying to do this is going to stop me from playing the part the way I’m supposed to.” Points for honesty, but critics will call out Hart for putting his own insecurities ahead of doing what he can to help social progress in this area. What do you think of Hart’s take? Is it understandable? Is it selfish? Does it make him homophobic? Take a look at Hart having a dance-off against Josh Gad and then react to his interview below.

A red flag has been thrown on the relationship between Irina Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo. The 29-year old model and the 29-year old soccer stud (who just won the title of World Player of the Year) have ended their relationship after five years. It’s unclear why the twosome have split, but a rep for Shayk has issued a statement that serves to quell negative press against his client. Shayk “has been close with his family throughout the course of their relationship,” he says, adding that “any negative rumors with regards to Irina and the Ronaldo family are completely false and have not been a factor in the cause of the spilt.” We wish both Irina and Cristiano the best of luck going forward; and we also wish all the single men and women out there who now think that have a chance with Shayk and Ronaldo the best of luck.

Mama June Shannon has kicked Sugar Bear to the curb once more, this time after buying a new house and claiming he’s still dabbling in online romances. The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo couple famously separated earlier this year, which she blamed on his online horniness and he blamed on … well, you know. June rekindled her romance with former flame Mark McDaniel after the child molester got out of prison … for abusing June’s oldest daughter Anna Shannon. Mama June has sworn to Anna that Mark is out of the picture for good now, but it looks like she hasn’t patched things up with Suge nearly as easily. In fact, Shannon told TMZ she recently bought a new crib, and told him he won’t be joining her there after learning he’s still engaging in online romances. Sugar Bear, for his part, says it’s all harmless, that he never cheated on June and he just does the online “dating” thing for the thrill of the experience. Whatever that means, suffice it to say June isn’t buying it. 26 Stars You Won’t Believe Are the Same Age 1. June Shannon and Jennifer Love Hewitt June Shannon and Jennifer Love Hewitt are both 35 years old. Yes, Mama June from Honey Boo Boo is somehow only 35 … while we can’t believe our longtime crush JLH is 35 already. One feels like she’s 35 going on 50 and the other, 35 going on 20. June and Sugar Bear had been trying to fix things of late. Obviously, once he heard about McDaniel he was furious, bit since then, relations thawed between them and they were even living together again. Now he’s reportedly so sick of June’s accusations, on top of everything else, that he can’t take being together anymore. At least they agree on something. He’s as done with her as she is with him, and he’s got a new home of his own to prove it, quietly renting a four-bedroom double wide with his brother. That way, he can stay close to daughter Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson but can holler at as many stunning women via the Internets as he desires. We never like to see families broken up, but based on everything we’ve heard about this one – and not just from Uncle Poodle – it may be for the best. June Shannon Threesome Texts 1. June Shannon: Leave Me Alone!!! June thinks Uncle Poodle is responsible for all of her problems. Here, she blames him for the failure of her annual toy drive.

If you feel like you’re experiencing deja vu right now, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez get back together about once a month, and it seems they’re planning to keep that trend going in 2015. The troubled couple was spotted having dinner together in West Hollywood last night. We’d say it might have just been a case of two exes platonically catching up, but sources claim the Biebs and Selena headed back to her hotel together afterward and Justin spent the night. So yeah, apparently this girl never learns. Selena cried about Justin at Taylor Swift’s birthday party and he’s put her through some serious emotional torture over the years, but she keeps coming back for more. We can’t figure out. Did she see Justin’s Calvin Klein modeling photos and decide she needed to inspect his photoshopped bulge for herself? Maybe Selena Gomez has decided to follow in her friend Swifty’s footsteps by compiling plenty of heartbreak material for her next album. In any event, this is sure to end badly, just as it did the 4,000 other times that these two got back together. The only question is: How long until Justin Bieber does something douchey and screws things up again? We’re guessing about a week. Until then … so much GRINDING! Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez GRINDING 1. Selena Gomez Straddles Justing Bieber Selena Gomez assumes the position in Justin Bieber’s new Instagram video.
The new trailer for Unfriended has been released, and it is pretty freaky. Prepare to be terrified by a Scream -esque film turning another form of technology into terror: Skype! Unfriended Trailer Unfriended takes the video chatting capability that is all too common nowadays and harnesses its power to be turned against users … horrifically. Just as Scream made land line calls petrifying in a campy way, The Ring disseminated fear via VHS tape and gaming consoles were used in Stay Alive … In Unfriended, a video of a high school girl getting wasted and presumably assaulted is released on the Internet. The attack on Laura quickly goes viral. Her reputation ruined, Laura kills herself to escape the turmoil. Her classmates may only wish they had taken that route, as their pain is just starting. When five friends get together one year later for a video chat session, an anonymous user logs in demanding information from the crew about Laura’s video. One by one, things start to go VERY wrong as Skype meets I Know What You Did Last Summer in a film (due out April 17) that takes place on a computer screen. Seriously, the whole thing is seen on one character’s machine. Should be interesting … and enough to move to a cabin in the woods with no Internet or phone. Technology is nothing but trouble. Who needs it, really.
A video released today that shows Jenelle Evans flipping out on the brother of her fiance Nathan Griffith was created quite an uproar online: Jenelle Evans Engagement Trip Fight The clip shows Evans telling Noah Griffith – a war veteran – that she wishes he “would have died in combat.” She goes on to taunt Griffith about a friend of his who was killed in Iraq. Needless to say, the footage shocked Teen Mom fans when it was leaked online, and many of them took to social media and YouTube to express their disgust with Evans’ comments: “There is not justification for wishing death upon someone,” wrote one user. “People who die in combat are fighting for her and her family, and for Jenelle to say that is unbelievable.” Other Jenelle critics were less charitable: “What a complete sick, twisted, dumb psychopathic hypocrite,” reads one tweet. “The girl has 13 mugshots and no custody of Jace . She’s a criminal and a drug addict and slams people who serve our country,” says another. So Jenelle may have a hard time getting fans back on her side, but insiders say she’s already made amends with Noah. “Jenelle told Nathan’s brother she was sorry and shouldn’t have said those things,” a source tells Radar Online. “She is just trying to move forward and waiting for the hate on social media to end.” Hopefully she’s not holding her breath. There’s no denying that the footage is terrible and makes it harder than ever to like Jenelle. That being said, this latest family drama really has us hoping that MTV will televise Jenelle’s wedding . Watch Teen Mom online at TV Fanatic for more jaw-dropping Jenelle moments. 29 Jaw-Dropping Jenelle Evans Moments 1. Jenelle Evans Beating Up Girl Will Jenelle Evans go to jail over this fight with Britany Truett? It’s certainly a possibility.
Kendall Jenner is a model, a reality star, an Instagram sensation… and now a journalist as well. In the February issue of Wall Street Journal Magazine, the 19-year old is dubbed one of six “luminaries” (along with Goldie Hawn and Tim Howard) to reflect on their time as a youth. “I feel like I grew up too fast a long time ago,” writes Jenner for the publication. It is true that Kendall first appeared alongside half-sister Kim Kardashian and the rest of the family on Keeping Up with the Kardashians when she was only 11 years old. Elsewhere, as she has throughout her impressive rise up the modeling industry, Kendall attributes her success to being a “workaholic,” not to having a famous last name. And she also says she’s aware that life can go by pretty darn quickly. “I just turned 19 a couple weeks ago, and I’m scared to be 20, it’s the first step out of being a teenager,” Jenner says, adding: “My sister [ Khloe Kardashian] always says to me and my younger sister, Kylie: You have your whole life to be an adult but only so long to be a kid. And we get it. “In the right situations, I try to be as immature as I can sometimes – react to things as if I were 12. You can’t take things too seriously.” No. But you can wear a shirt sometimes if you’re trying to remain a child for as long as possible. Sheesh, Kendall! 37 Wildly Inappropriate Photos of Kendall Jenner 1. Kendall Jenner: Naked and Smoking Kendall Jenner is smoking in this picture. In more ways than one! She was 18 years old at the time it was taken.
I was sitting by a pool in Miami a month ago next to Jourdan Dunn, because I’m fancy and luxurious and like Forrest Gump, I manage to trick the fucking world, or in this case the occasional girl to pay for me to go on their adventures, in exchange for my amazing company… I took this picture A photo posted by www.drunkenstepfather.com (@drunkenstepfatherdotcom) on Dec 10, 2014 at 11:44am PST Because I am a creeper and creeping is what I do… She is tall as fuck, I went up to her elbow, but in my defense I am only 5 foot 2, and now she’s in Vogue UK…and making me feel like I really know how to spot up and coming talent, but unfortunately, in Jourdan Dunn’s case…Victoria’s Secret beat me to it.
Kevin Hart has been in the headlines a lot lately , mainly because of the hacked Sony email where an exec called him a ho basically , for wanting more money to tweet about his projects. He talks about those comments as well as his upbringing, his thoughts on the Bill Cosby controversy and not being political or an angry black man. We culled the best excerpts for you. Check them out below via The Hollywood Reporter On his goals: Forget any notions that Hart, 35, isn’t serious about his work. His aims are great, his ambitions unlimited. He wants to equal his heroes (Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock) and dwarf them by building an empire even larger than theirs. “I want to be a mogul, like Oprah or Jay Z or Tyler Perry,” he says. His 2012 tour, Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain, was seen in 10 countries and 80 cities, and sold more than 540,000 tickets, making it one of the most successful comedy tours to date (he also does many dozens of stand-up performances every year in smaller venues). Hart also sold out Madison Square Garden (only the sixth comedian ever to do so) and earned more than $1 million in Los Angeles on one evening alone. These tours are funded by Hart, too. “I invest in myself,” he says. “I spent $750,000 on [the 2011] Laugh at My Pain [tour], and it did $15 million. I spent $2.5 million on Let Me Explain, and it did $32 million. I’m about to spend maybe $4 million on this next one [What Next?], and the goal is to get to $100 million.” On Being Called a “Ho” By Sony’s Clint Culpepper: Hart swats away critiques, even when they come from his occasional boss, Sony’s Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper, who, referring to Hart’s desire to boost his $3 million salary, noted in a hacked email made public, “I’m not saying he’s a wh***, but he’s a wh***.” Hart shot back on Instagram: “I worked very hard to get where I am today. I look at myself as a brand and because of that I will never allow myself to be taken advantage of. I OWN MY BRAND … I MAKE SMART DECISIONS FOR MY BRAND … which is why I’m able to brush ignorance off of my shoulder and continue to move forward.” A month after that volatile exchange, Hart takes a more muted view. “I’ve talked to him,” he says of Culpepper (who did not respond to a request for comment). “Clint called right after. It’s not like I wanted to challenge him — that’s just how he talks. He did [apologize], but there was no need. When you negotiate, you say whatever you say.” He adds: “Nothing affected me. It’s very hard to put me in a negative position, man. I’m happy. And I’ll continue to be happy.” Happiness isn’t always the greatest source of laughter, of course, and one wonders whether Hart is being disingenuous when he says he has “no demon. I’m not an angry person. I left those years behind.” On Social Issues: Expletives pepper his routine, but he’s never salacious, never tawdry and never makes comments about women or gays that might offend some or even all. He seems almost genetically inoffensive, in fact, and avoids anything controversial, from the death of Eric Garner to Ferguson, Mo. “I’m not interested in politics,” he shrugs. On Bill Cosby: Downstairs, giant portraits of the comedians he most admires — Cosby, Rock, Murphy, Richard Pryor, Martin Lawrence and Dave Chappelle — line the walls. I ask if he’s thinking of getting rid of Cosby in the wake of allegations about the 77-year-old’s conduct. “I’m not going to take the picture down,” he says. “The picture serves a purpose for me. These were the men who built a legacy doing what they love to do, which is telling jokes.” Does he think Cosby is guilty? “Right now, it’s a lot of speculation,” he says. “All I can do is just say my prayers, and my wishes go out to all of the women who are potentially involved. His personal life has nothing to do with me. I can’t control it. I will never try. It doesn’t stop me from being an admirer of his work. His work and his personal life are two separate things.” On Discrimination In Hollywood: He doesn’t dwell on prejudice, or wonder if he might have had more opportunity if he were white. “That’s not for me to say, because I’m not white,” he says. He agrees with his mentor, Top Five co-star Rock, who lambasted the industry’s insistence that African-American performers “cross over” and find a white audience in a recent essay for THR. Hart insists he doesn’t get hung up on such things. (Said Rock: “If we’re going to just be honest and count dollars and seats and not look at skin color, Kevin Hart is the biggest comedian in the world. If Kevin Hart is playing 40,000 seats in a night and Jon Stewart is playing 3,000, the fact that Jon Stewart’s 3,000 are white means Kevin has to cross over? That makes no sense.”) “The point he was making was very valid,” says Hart. “It’s always about us crossing over. You never hear about it going the other way. You look at concerts and the touring industry, and the people who buy those tickets are urban crowds. It’s crazy the numbers I’ve done on tour: You’re talking about a guy who does 40,000 to 50,000 people a weekend. What he said, I agree with 110 percent.” Still, he continues: “I don’t feed into the race game. I don’t give it that much thought. I never have and never will.” “You know, a lot of people make it and then stop,” he says. “Why? When I look at Eddie Murphy, when I look at Will Smith, when I look at Denzel Washington, when I look at what all those people have achieved, why would I stop when you can keep going and keep achieving? There’s so much more that I can do. And I’m getting close. So why stop?” Do you think Kevin Hart is winning right now because he plays it so safe? We couldn’t help but think of fellow comedian, and sometimes critic Mike Epps saying the wrong blacks are getting opportunities. Kevin isn’t an angry black man, he’s not political and he shies away from saying anything controversial. Is he playing it too safe? Not being interested in politics is one thing, but not speaking up on issues that directly effect so many people who are his audience seems kinda cold, nah? Check out a video THR posted below:
