WIGGED OUT and SHRTLESS! Kevin Hart Goes All Out On 'The Hollywood Reporter' Cover
Funnyman Kevin Hart loves to keep the laughs. And for his newest magazine cover, he brings a few funnies.
Shot by award winning photographer Martin Schoeller, The Wedding Ringer star graces the cover of The Hollywood Reporter’s newest issue. And he’s donning a huge white wig, while proudly putting his pectorals on display, which he has been working hard on in the gym. He often shares his high intensity gym sessions on social media.
The comedian is currently on a heavy media tour to promote his upcoming wedding comedy flick, which is scheduled to hit theaters on Friday. This morning, Kevin laughed it up on “Good Morning America” alongside his co-star Josh Gad as they chopped it up about their new film. The show must go on, even if SONY Entertainment honchos think he's a "money whore".

Peep their banter: 

And in case you haven’t heard, Kevin Hart will be returning to late-night comedy show “Saturday Night Live” for his second hosting gig. The Ride Along actor will be hosting the first new “SNL” episode of the year and it will air Jan. 17th, a day after his movie premiere. Nice!


IS BRUCE JENNER GOING TO BE A TRANSWOMAN???
Kris Jenner is 'OUTRAGED' InTouch magazine added lipstick to Bruce's photo and claimed he would come out as 'transwoman' in 2015

They have been separated for over a year and finalized their divorce in December.
But Kris Jenner still feels for her ex Bruce, especially now that he is being mocked by InTouch magazine. On Wednesday the weekly doctored a photo of the 65-year-old reality TV star wearing lipstick, curled hair and a woman's green silk scarf for their cover. The headline was, 'My Life As A Woman.'
'She is outraged,' a source told TMZ.
Not OK with this: Kris Jenner is angry that InTouch Weekly doctored a photo of her ex-husband Bruce for their new cover, according to TMZ
The insider, who is close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians producer, also said, 'It's just mean to do whether or not it's true.'
A source for the 59-year-old mother of six also said, 'She has contempt for the magazine jumping to conclusions and then altering the image to fit its story.'
Some of the bullet points on the cover are 'Kris panics over his big announcement,' and 'What he told the Kardashians.'
InTouch made it seem as if the former Olympian wanted to live his life as a woman.
Though the athlete has stepped out with polished nails, longer hair and Spanx in recent months, he has never said he wanted to live his life as a woman.
'He will come clean in 2015 about transitioning,' a source told the weekly. 'This is his year of coming out.'

A new look for the vet: The former Olympian has been wearing a long ponytail lately; here he is pictured with son Brandon in Calabasas on Tuesday
'When Bruce goes public, he wants to go big and come out as a transwoman on the cover of The Advocate, the ultimate LGBT magazine,' added the source.
'He wants to look as glamorous as possible - full makeup with a bold wardrobe.'

TMZ's also has a source on Bruce that insisted he isn't bothered by the jab. 'He doesn't even pay attention to this stuff,' said the insider.
Jenner was last seen getting coffee with son Brandon in Calabasas. He was also spotted fueling his Porsche.
UsWeekly reported last week that he was shopping around a reality series based on him and his sons. They also claimed he has hired a camera crew that is not related to E! to film him.


Beverly Johnson’s Ex Boyfriend Suing CNN for $19 million
Things are starting to unfold and it’s getting real messy, according to Beverly Johnson’s ex boyfriend, Mark Burk, every-time Beverly Johnson spoke about Bill Cosby, she praised him to her boyfriend of 4 years. 

Mark Burk is suing CNN for attacking his credibility and reputation.
Via TMZ; Johnson was contacted by CNN for a special that focused on her accusations. Cosby’s lawyer urged the network to interview Mark Burk because he lived with Johnson for 4 years, and would say she only had praise for the comedian and never mentioned drugging allegations.

TMZ contacted CNN before the show aired, and ended up with a letter the network sent to Cosby’s lawyer saying Burk was a criminal with an ax to grind and lived with Johnson long after she was allegedly drugged. As a result they said he was not included in the special.
Burk is now suing CNN … claiming the network gave TMZ the letter it sent to Cosby’s lawyer, attacking his credibility and as a result his reputation has been damaged.
In the lawsuit Burk says, “CNN is not a tabloid periodical ‘picking on the little guy.’ CNN is a giant that has absolutely ruined the reputation of one man.”

This isn’t the first time Mark Burk has been to court stemming from things with Beverly Johnson,  Mark “Pipe Dream” Burk  file a motion against her for lying and conspiracy in Indio, CA Case # INV 012815.
According to Mark Burk in the court documents “Johnson had been diagnosed with a psychological condition that seemed to cause her to have episodes of rage at times, and then to participate in false prosecution…


Miss Keri Baby Performs to Arena of Empty Seats
Two years ago singer/songwriter Keri Hilson performed at a concert in Nigeria to the opposite of a sold out crowd
Apparently not much has changed…
Over the weekend Keri Hilson performed at the AT&T Playoff Playlist Live!, opening for Lenny Kravitz at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, but hardly anybody showed up to see her get down.

Even worse concert reviewers claimed Kerri left the stage in the middle of her 30 min set for over five minutes with no explanation, no costume change, no nothing. But gurlfriend is clearly not bothered because whether she’s performing before a sold-out crowd or a group of a few hundred, the check still clears. 
She popped off tweeting:

NO SHADE Gurl BYE 100,000$ maybe 15,000 but 100K please! However once Lenny came on. The arena was PACKED! LOL! However once Lenny came on. The arena was PACKED! LOL!


T.I. Talks His New Restaurant Set To Open In Atlanta
T.I. is adding restaurateur to his resume. In an interview with Atlanta’s V-103, the “About the Money” rapper spilled deets on the upcoming opening of his upscale restaurant — Scales 925.
Located in historic downtown Atlanta, off Ivan Allen Boulevard, the restaurant (featuring Southern cuisine), will open its doors in early March.

“You can get Southern cuisine all around town, but where can you experience Southern cuisine in Atlanta with a happy hour, a rooftop overlooking the city and a lounge?” asked Tip.

He went on to explain how cruising through his city helped him recognize a void that needed to be filled — as strip clubs are becoming some of its best restaurants. Plus, he also expressed his desire for a members only venue:

Jeezy and I ride around Atlanta all the time and there is nowhere to go besides Magic City. Strip clubs are becoming some of our best restaurants- it’s filling the gap. People go to Club Cheetah and Magic City not just for the entertainment always, but simply to eat and  be social.

We should be cutting-edge economically, socially, in everything! The population has evolved and businesses should follow. There is a strong need because of our diverse population. We don’t have any members. Where can Michael Jordan go and enjoy a cigar in comfort? I wanted to create an atmosphere where you could have a nice meal, a drink or socialize and one where it could be done effortlessly. Scales 925 is a representation of me and the things I look for as a consumer.
In talking the concept for the restaurant’s name (the numerals 925 symbolize his birth month and year- September 25 – while his Zodiac sign, Libra, is represented by measuring scales), he shared:

There is a lot of balance in life. Life is about trying to balance. So the scales signify that balance in life…business and pleasure, wants and needs, contemporary and traditional, private and public, nutrients and sweets. We’re going to reach a broad spectrum. We’re open to the public but we will reach the upper echelon too.

“It’s Southern cuisine but with an upscale vibe- good food without the cafeteria feel,” he explained. “We will have steak, lobster, and seafood- but it won’t be our specialty. We will look like an Ocean Prime or Mastro’s.”

Nice!


David Oyelowo and Lupita Nyong’o in Talks for Disney’s “Queen of Katwe”
Actors, David Oyelowo and Lupita Nyong’o are currently in negotiations to star in Disney’s upcoming film, “Queen of Katwe”.
The film focuses on a young girl from the slums of Uganda who, with the help of her coach, becomes a chess prodigy. The story is based on an ESPN Magazine article and the 2012 book The Queen of Katwe: A Story of Life, Chess, and One Extraordinary Girl's Dream of Becoming a Grandmaster by Tim Crothers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The “Selma” actor, is being considered to play the coach, Robert Katende, while the Oscar-winner is being sought out for the role of Harriet Mutesi, the child’s mother. The movie will be directed by Mira Nair and is set to begin shooting in the spring.

Both Golden-Globe nominees would be a great fit for “Queen of Katwe” but we’ll have to wait and find out how the casting plays out.


BALLIN’: Young Jeezy SPENDS $1.5 Million To BALL OUT In A 9,000 Sqft. Mansion In
Rapper Young Jeezy, who was cleared of all charges brought against him in a weapons arrest, is starting off 2015 in a new home in Atlanta.   He actually purchased the home a month BEFORE he was cleared of his charges...so dude was confident he wasn't going to jail it seems.

The McMansion costs the "Trap Star" rapper $1.5M and is in a posh area of Atlanta.
Wonder how many sneakers can fit in there....
The home boasts 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and sits on 1.2 acres. 
The new home isn't the only move that Jeezy is making in the real estate game.  A few months ago, he and his Street Dreamz Foundation donated $1 million dollars to real estate company Jay Morrison Academy to teach people how to become successful in the real estate industry. #BOSSMOVES

Future's DJ, DJ Esco, Freed From Dubai Jail & Returning Home Tonight
Breathe easy Atlanta, DJ Esco will be returning soon. According to the website 7 Days In Dubai, charges against Future's tour DJ have been dropped and he has been freed to board his Delta Airlines flight home at 11pm tonight.

We previously reported that DJ Esco was arrested in Dubai for possession of Marijuana, an offense that is said to carry up to four years in prison. Esco had been jailed in the Dubai prison for nearly two months.

Esco was scheduled to appear alongside Future at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concerts on November 18th but was caught with 18 grams marijuana at the Dubai International Airport after arriving from Amsterdam.

“He admitted that he consumed marijuana before coming to Dubai. He didn’t have any criminal intention and was not aware that marijuana is illegal in the UAE. It was a mistake,” Defense lawyer Mohammad Al Redha. Esco was drug tested and they did find marijuana in his system, but consumption charges were dropped due to the fact he did not do the drugs in UAE. Also no possession  charges were pursued.

Mohammad Al Redha says Esco has been in great spirits the entire time of his incarceration. “He is a charming and polite person – even his [prison] wardens loved his character. He will be back home soon.” That sounds a lot like the Esco we know.


Jermaine Jackson and wealthy Afghan wife Halima Rashid leave Verizon store
Jermaine Jackson and his wife Halima Rashid met while standing in line at Starbucks more than a decade ago.
The well-off couple probably didn't have to wait at all as they shopped at a Verizon store in the upscale community of Calabasas, California on Tuesday.
The 60-year-old singer and his stunning wife, who is of Afghan descent, were stylishly suited up on this errand.
Jermaine was clad in white trousers and a black and white striped shirt over a white undershirt, and he was literally dripping in expensive jewelry.
The R&B producer appeared to be trying out his new purchase as he left the store holding his Verizon smartphone and wearing ear phones.

Halima was dressed smartly in Ugg boots, baggy two-tone trousers, a black shirt and a head scarf.
Jermaine, who has been married and divorced twice before, appears to have found his soulmate in Halima.
He became a Muslim in 1989 during a trip to Bahrain, and met Halima in January 2004 at a Los Angeles Starbucks.
Two months later they wed in a mosque in Los Angeles.
