Funnyman Kevin Hart covers the summer 2013 #NSFW issue of Annex Man Magazine. Deemed the "ALLAN Issue", the fashion-forward magazine features spreads on streetstyle blooger Prince Paleyo, knitwear designer extraordinaire Mark Fast, Chris Brown's new artist Sevyn Streeter, and actors Gilles Marini, Robbie Jones, Avan Jogia, and Jean-Luc Bilodeau. And in addition to articles on Sex in America and the "Art of the Sextape", the magazine got Kevin to open up about his wild ride through Hollywood...including his DUI!
In the accompanying pictorial shot by photographer Bradford Rogne and styled by creative director AllanTroy Watson, Kevin shares his thoughts on fame, success and fashion. Here are the highlights:
On His DUI:
Don't drink and drive! Don't text and drive! Don't talk and drive! Don't breathe and drive! Don't mix anything with driving. But on a serious note, plan your night and act responsibly. I learned a valuable lesson, it will never happen again.
On New film "Let Me Explain":
"Let Me Explain" is a step above...I constantly try to show growth while doing comedy, I feel like my fans appreciate that more. Let me explain is going to shock a lot of people.
On Being a dad:
I have to be uncompromising when it comes to my kids time with me. I have to be committed to my kids or else the industry will always have you away from your family.
On his underrated fashion sense and fashion week:
WHO YOU CALLING UNDERRATED? Is that a height joke? I'm a f***ing sex symbol! I would love to make it to fashion week to answer your question...when and where ever that is...
On reaching a precipice of success and if he'll ever leave stand up for the movie business:
First of all, I don't know what "precipice" means so I can only take it as a sign of disrespect. NEXT QUESTION...but seriously I will never stop doing stand up its my foundation.
On Whats Next:
Several movies. 2013 is the year of the movies for me. Starting with my concert movie "Let Me Explain" in theaters July 3rd. I plan to hit the road in 2014 with a brand new hour.
And yes, this photoshoot was serious. Kinda funny to see Kev all fashion'd up. On the cover of ANNEX, Kevin wears a Buki Akib goat hair coat and a perforated Roxanne Nikki shirt.
Well...
Feel like he made fun of Kanye for this exact look...
Interesting.
Keri Hilson Says Shes Not Pregnant But Is Taking A Leave of Absence
Wondering what the future holds for singer Keri Hilson? It looks like the private singer is going into seclusion-sorta/kinda. Over the weekend she announced to her fans on twitter that she’d be taking a leave of absence. Now, our ASSUMPTION is that she’s going to be taking a music break, but she also may be taking a break from the public. She explained:
Gotta say, #KeriKrew has bn so LOYAL!! Thank you! I’ve hidden so many details of my life from public view, so I know there’s confusion…But plz know that although you may not understand my leave of absence (yes it was my decision), I’ve cherished your love & support!! -keri …
And, rumors ran out of control, that she’s ‘breaking’ because she’s pregnant by her boyfriend, Serge Ibaka. But according to Keri, that SOOOOO is not the case. Monday afternoon, she clarified:
I get how you could THINK you found clues to that conclusion you conjured…but I’m NOT pregnant. Those “clues” are unrelated & exaggerated. Thought addressing that would help CLEAR some confusion but it created more o_O And you wonder why I choose to be quiet/private these days! I was simply showing appreciation 4 fans who stayed down during a hiatus that I never addressed. M’kay? Besides that… *runs to gym*
So, what’s the REAL reason she’s taking a leave of absence? Since it has nothing to do with her ovaries, we’re guessing that she wants to simply live life like a regular person? Or maybe got quietly jump the broom, but hell, we have no clue. What are YOUR thoughts? Is Keri’s hiatus a good or bad idea?
OH DAMN: Chris Brown To Possibly Be Charged In Frank Ocean Brawl
Chris Brown's past fight with Frank Ocean may be brought up during the singer's probation hearing
Chris Brown’s legal woes seem to continue as the R&B crooner may in fact face battery charges stemming from a parking lot brawl with fellow singer Frank Ocean, which took place at the top of the year. According to XXLMag.com, Brown went to court on (June 10) for a probation hearing, but it’s up to the judge to decide whether or not the January incident will be brought up.
Ironically, in early February, Ocean announced via a Tumblr post that he would not press charges against Brown.
"I’ll choose sanity. No criminal charges. No civil lawsuit. Forgiveness, albeit difficult, is wisdom. peace, albeit trite, is what I want in my short life. Peace,” the Channel Orange singer revealed.
It’s unclear what legal repercussions Brown could face if battery charges are filed. Unfortunately for the Virginia singer, Monday’s hearing comes just weeks after he was involved in a hit and run accident that’s currently being investigated.
Allen Iverson’s Ex Wants Him Jailed For Missed Child Support Payments
Former NBA player, Allen Iverson Owes $40k In Child Support, Ex-Wife Tawanna Iverson Wants Him Thrown in Jail.
According to TMZ, Tawanna and Allen are due in court this week for a progress update. While there, the mother would reportedly like the judge to not only order her ex-husband to pay the $40,000 debt he’s accrued but also be sent to jail for his reckless disregard for both the court order and his children’s wellbeing. Right now, the whole jail element to her request seems a little far-fetched, but it’s certainly not out of the question given he allegedly hasn’t put any effort into paying.
Allen and Tawanna are scheduled to be court this week. She’ll be demanding that Iverson come up with the funds and if not, Iverson may not be going home.
The Dream and His Asian Persuasian Expecting Twins?
So The Dream has more babies on the way according to friends over at Bossip. Apparently Terius has been trying to keep it on the low, because Christina has been trying to get more child support money out of him and Lydia Seung Nam is her name referrs to the twins as the “Nash Army”. She’s been keeping a private instagram, which he knows nothing about… So much for keeping things private. Peep pictures inside.
That is probably why she has been MIA.. I mean jesus be a fence. He has also proposed to her also and he will do her the same way he’s done Nivea, and Christina…Once the babies are here.. It seems as if he loses interest and moves on to the next victim… But overall this woman is set for 18 years x 2. Didn’t his last album go double aluminium foil on the charts? His plan to keep Christina from getting more money has been foiled. I bet that “private” instagram account gets deleted. On a serious note, ikt’s sad when that man will keep making children even after he has publicly acknowledged that he has no interest in being apart of their lives. Girl I feel for you….. Congrats…
Kobe Bryant Settles Lawsuit
Kobe Bryant has ended his legal war with his mother settling the lawsuit over his basketball memorabilia.
Kobe went after his mother for trying to auction off jerseys, rings, trophies and scores of other items. Pamela Bryant claimed her son gave her the stuff, but Kobe claimed she was full of it and she was just pissed because he wouldn’t buy her an expensive house in Vegas.
Now Pamela and Kobe’s dad agreed to issue a letter of apology to the Lakers‘ star, according to ESPN. In return Kobe agreed to let Pamela sell off just under 10% of the items.
So the legal issue is now resolved.

New Parents Wiz Khalifa & Amber Rose Do Some Shopping In Beverly Hills
Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa took some time away from Baby Bash to do some shopping at Tom Ford in Beverly Hills.
Rocking a pink dress, pink shades and a black Chanel purse, Amber Rose trekked her post-baby bod over to Tom Ford with her fiancee' Wiz Khalifa yesterday afternoon. And since Amber posted pics of herself trying on wedding dresses recently, could they be shopping for groom threads for Wiz?
The twosome hopped out Wiz's baby blue Porshe and hit up the store through the back entrance.
Amber recently told E! News about working with celeb trainer Jeanette Jenkins, ‘I have a really good personal trainer. Her name is Jeanette Jenkins. Yeah, I work out every day. It's hard to get off baby weight. It's a different kind of weight because for nine months you stretch your stomach out and then it's hard to get that back. I'm working on it. I lost like thirty-some pounds already.’
Lookin' good...
Amber posted pics of baby Sebastian hanging out with daddy Wiz, and also her own dad.
She said, "#tbt (3 months ago) my Dad holding his grandson Sebastian #Love." Sweet!
Judge Reprimands Ochocinco For Swatting His Lawyer On His Booty In Court, Orders Him 30 Days In Jail
Former NFL star Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson was sentenced Monday to 30 days in jail for a probation violation in a domestic violence case (with his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada) by a judge who angrily rejected a no-jail plea deal after Ocho playfully slapped his attorney on the backside in court. According to the Associated Press, Ochocinco had reached a deal with prosecutors calling for community service and counseling instead of jail. Broward County Circuit Judge Kathleen McHugh said she would tack on an additional three months’ probation because Johnson had failed to meet with his probation officer during three previous months. It was all set until Ocho, when asked by the judge if he was satisfied with his lawyer Adam Swickle, gave the attorney a light smack on his booty — as football players routinely do to each other on the field. The courtroom erupted in laughter and at that the judge said she wouldn’t accept the deal.
“I don’t know that you’re taking this whole thing seriously. I just saw you slap your attorney on the backside. Is there something funny about this? The whole courtroom was laughing. I’m not going to accept these plea negotiations. This isn’t a joke.”
Ocho then tried to apologize and insisted he meant no disrespect.
“This is your courtroom. I have no intent to make this a joke. It’s not funny. My life is in a shambles right now and I try my best to laugh and keep a smile on my face.”
Unfortunately, was not moved. Ocho then was handcuffed and hauled away to jail. Somehow or another, Ocho was on twitter an hour ago and tweeted the following message:
Love me through the good and the bad because I’m gone love you regardless… See you in 30…
Britain Welcomes First Black Baroness Amid Familial Race Row
The UK has welcomed its first black baroness, when the daughter of a Nigerian oil tycoon (Emma McQuiston) tied the knot with the future Marquess of Bath, Ceawlin Thynn- inheriting the tile of Baroness by way of his family’s hereditary power in the area.
Unfortunately, while well wishers descended on Wiltshire‘s Longleat House to celebrate the wedding, Thynn‘s family have come under fire when it emerged that they were against the wedding…on the grounds of Emma’s race.
Speaking to the publication Tatler, Emma revealed:
“There’s class and then there’s the racial thing. It’s a jungle and I’m going through it and discovering things as I grow up. I’m not super-easily offended but it’s a problem when someone’s making you feel different or separate because of your race.
I have never had anything horrible said or happen, but it is something you sense. You can just tell with some people.”
So threatened by their relationship were his parents, that sources close to Thynn’s mother claim she urged for the wedding to be called off, one of which shared:
“She has asked her son to call it off. She seems to think Emma isn’t good enough for him. Emma’s a lovely girl and is understandably hurt by this, as is her family. But Ceawlin loves Emma and won’t be swayed.”
Quite interestingly, the last month saw Emma’s own mother weigh in on the matter-slamming her allegedly racist in laws for their treatment of their daughter. She told the ‘Mail on Sunday‘:
“They’ve both known Emma since she was three-and-a-half. She’s a wonderful, incredibly beautiful and sweet girl. I just can’t understand it.One thing I would say is that I don’t want people going on about.”
However, Lynn’s father cites his removal of erotic paintings in the family’s home as the reason for his absence at the wedding- claiming:
“It’s my life’s work and he’s quietly binned it.It’s killed my relationship with him and I don’t feel inclined to pay any interest in his wedding.” What a shame.

Rihanna Takes Over The BALMAIN Offices
Leave it to Rih Rih to take the fashion world by storm while chillin' in Paris in between her Diamonds World Tour shows. After parlaying with designer Azzedine Alaia himself, she headed over to Balmain.
