Kevin Hart Covers UPSCALE's February 2014 Issue
The Ride Along star and upcoming About Last Night star thinks his career is just as dream-worthy as we do. Kevin Hart seems to have taken Hollywood Hollywood
Here's a few highlights on everything we've been wondering about: His fabulous career success, his feelings on his ex-wife Torrei joining "Atlanta Exes", what caused his divorce, and his thoughts on rumors that he left his black ex-wife for the typical "exotic" new girlfriend Eniko Parrish (she's actually Jamaican!):
On his career success: "I know how much I’ve put into my craft. And thus far, I don’t feel like I’ve half-assed my career at any point. And that is why I’m able to sit back and smile. Seeing people go crazy when they see my trailers come up and hearing them whisper, ‘I can’t wait to go see this’—it’s a good feeling.”
On the rumors about his girlfriend and ex-wife: “I read so much stuff that Black women say, especially about my relationship. ‘Oh, he left his Black wife to go be with some exotic chick.’ First of all, my girl is Black. She’s Jamaican. But they say it as if they know what me and my ex-wife’s problems were. When we first got together, our relationship was amazing. We got married young and our s*** got rocky. In my divorce, I stood up and said to my ex-wife, ‘Hey, I messed up. This had nothing to do with you. I didn’t understand what marriage was. I cheated. I was wrong. We couldn’t fix it, it got worse. I stepped away because I didn’t want it to get any worse. You’re the mother of my kids, I don’t want to hate you. And the only way that’s gonna happen, is if I’m the bigger man and I leave.’ I think that was a very mature thing to do.”
On ex-wife Torrei joining the cast of VH1's Atlanta Exes: “I gave her my opinion on why those shows are put on air. I said, ‘Ask yourself if you really wanna get caught up in that world, because it’s not all glitz and glamour. You have no power over that editing.’ I just tried to give her the best advice based on my experience. She felt it was a good opportunity and she wanted to do it. At the end of the day, it’s my job: that’s the mother of my kids, I’m gonna support her. I still love her, I’m not gonna see her out there doing bad. So you just back the decision and hope that it becomes a good thing for her. “
On transitioning from a comedian to rom-com star: “People usually get to see me in these funny, crazy forums. So to see me in a relationship realm on camera is refreshing because I’m bringing a certain level of honesty to it, but I’m doing it in such a crazy way that you catch yourself laughing at real life situations.”
Kevin DOES keep it all the way 100, we must say. Meanwhile, Ride Along is already set to get a sequel,
Parents Slam Beyonce’s Performance On The Grammy’s Compares Her To Miley Cyrus
Parents were outraged after Beyonce’s performance last night as they deemed the incredibly risqué routine too explicit for children to watch. They were surprised when Beyonce came out wearing a revealing black thong bodysuit over fishnet tights to perform Drunk In Love. Once she came on stage, alot of parents of course took to Social Media to vent their disdain and frustration of her performance…
Everyone was ready and anticipating Bey and Jay’s performance yesterday , I guess some were not here for seeing all her goodies, they even went as far as to compare her to Miley Cyrus’s infamous MTV awards fiasco…..
Like I said prior, I wasn’t a fan of her performance, I’ve seen better from Beyonce.. It just seemed like, it lacked emotion and feeling. I know whenever I hear or see Bey performing a song you can feel the emotion behind it and today just wasn’t the day… I will blame it on her being tired, I mean she has been touring non stop for almost a year now and I’m pretty sure it can take a toll….. Nevertheless, it still doesn’t change the way I feel about Bey… Love her as an artist……
Azealia Banks Begs To Leave Record Label
Azealia Banks is “begging to be dropped” from Universal Music Group. Most artist are often afraid to open up and speak their mind in fear of getting dropped by their label, but in this case, that’s exactly what Azealia Banks wants.
On Twitter Sunday, the emcee wrote to her 370,000+ followers that Universal needs to hand her over to another label “who knows what to do” with her. She even asked Sony Music to “buy” her contract from Universal, adding “I’m really in hell here.” Apparently, Banks is fed up with having to “consult a group of old white guys” about her “black girl craft.” She believes they “don’t even know what they’re listening for.”
Banks also expressed the need for her to release her debut album “Broke with Expensive Taste.” She says her fans really need new music and that she’s been “gratefully riding off of mixtape fumes for the past two years.” This poor artist even went as far as saying “I’m tired of having to consult to a group of old white guys about my black girl craft.”
“Broke with Expensive Taste” is slated to arrive in March. We just hope that it all goes her way.

At there reunion show Day26 promised their fans that they will be back with new music, and a tour this year.

Prince Sues 22 Fans For $22 Million Dollars Over Bootlegging
Prince is doing the absolute most right now, he has filed a lawsuit against 22 different users of Facebook and Google’s Blogger platform. And although he doesn’t know the identity of all the defendants, he’s demanding each pay $1 million in damages. People still trying Prince? He is not the one to play with… And he wants to make an example out of them…
As you know Prince will be going on tour shortly , but maybe he is rethinking things ? According to a 21 page filed in in U.S. District Court in San Francisco
Prince asks for a jury trial, which, though highly unlikely, would have to make for some fascinating courtroom drama. In addition to the $22 million total in damages, Prince wants the defendants permanently blocked from infringing on his copyrights. He also wants them to forfeit any money they may have made from his music — with interest — and to return any “unlawful materials” to their rightful Purple custody. Oh, and they’d better cover his lawyers’ fees, too. The defendants haven’t commented publicly yet, but it’s theoretically possible they thought they were actually sharing concerts by Phish, right? Only, like, four letters off!
People have to know the Purple One doesn’t play, he will sue you then resume performing “Thieves in the Temple
Nelly: Madonna ‘F*cked Up’ by Dropping N-Word
Pop Icon Madonna is on the hot seat for dropping the dreaded N-word on a social media image of her pugilist son, Rocco Ritchie. Madonna, 55, referred to her 13-year-old white son as a “nigga” on Instagram.com. Madonna’s followers immediately slammed her for using a word that is considered derisive to black people. She immediately apologized for the incident.
On Sunday, Madonna posed on the red carpet at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards with her handsome adopted son David Banda, who is black. But the backlash continued.
Rapper Nelly said he accepted Madonna’s apology, but she doesn’t get a pass just because 2 of her children are black. “She need to get her shit right,” said Nelly in an interview after The Grammys telecast.

Fashion Fail: Solange Spotted Rockin’ A Two Pieces Covered With Roaches!
Solange what were you thinking??
Solange Knowles is known for making some really bold fashion statements. Unlike her sister Beyonce with the glitz, glam, and weave. She has taken a whole different route, a little more natural!
She has done a lot of different things with her hair and clothing, but this new style is by far the wildest look we’ve seen on Solange. We just say she is a very different individual.
Since Solange has been doing her Dj thing, she’s been making a lot of appearances. She was spotted doing her thang at a pre grammy turn up rockin’ an all white two piece covered with roaches! Of course they weren’t real roaches, but we just don’t understand why out of all the outfits this is the one she would pick??
Oh Solange. When being an “individual” goes wrong! I can’t believe Kelly was spotted with her and didn’t tell her that this wasn’t hot at all! Well we will just let Solange do her, but bugs belong in grass not on you clothes boo.
What y’all think about Solange’s fit? Love it or Hate it?
