MAG COVERS: KEVIN HART TALKS COMEDY IN ‘ROLLING OUT’

Funnyman Kevin Hart is on the cover of Rolling Out‘s most recent issue. In an interview w/ the weekly publication, Hart talks about when he decided to take up comedy as a career, his new film, Laugh at My Pain and the realities of being a popular comedian, all while cracking a couple jokes in between:

On when it dawned on him to be a comedian:
I’ve always been silly and the life of the party. But I came into the reality when I was a sneaker salesman. My co-worker gave me the idea to go to a comedy club. My first time on stage, I wanted to s–t on myself. The lights were on me, people were staring at me and they wanted to laugh. It took a second for me to realize that I had to start talking. Once I got over the initial shell shock of being in front of the lights, it was easy. I eventually won six times in a row.

On the pressures of being a comedian:
A lot of those guys didn’t really lose their way. The industry and media has a way of flipping things and making it into what they want it to be. No one knows what’s really going on with Dave. No one really knows what’s going on with Katt. At the end of the day, they are two talented and funny dudes. Given the opportunity, they can continue to be funny. When it comes to pressure, you are your own judge. I don’t take the word pressure seriously. This is what I chose to do, so I don’t pay attention to pressure.

VIDEO: UPSET SERENA WILLIAMS TO UMPIRE: “DON’T LOOK AT ME. I AM NOT THE ONE.”

Tennis star Serena Williams let out some steam during her match against Samantha Stosur of Australia on Sunday (Sept 11). After hitting one of her lightning speed tennis serves at her opponent, the 3-time US Open champion yelled, “Come on!’ right before Stosur was able to hit the ball. Immediately after, the chair umpire Eva Asderaki issued the point to Stosur, telling Serena that “it’s her point” because when she “called out, she (Stosur) got distracted.” Naturally, Serena was NOT having that and openly expressed her anger:

Are you the one that screwed me over the last time? You’re a nobody. [...] If you ever see me walking down the hall, look the other way, because you’re out of control. [...] You’re totally out of control. You’re a hater, unattractive inside. Who would do such a thing? And I never complain. Wow. What a loser.

Give me a code violation because I expressed my emotion? We’re in America last time I checked. Really, don’t even look at me. I promise you. Don’t look at me, because I’m not the one.”

About two years ago, Serena got way more heated with an umpire after a line judge called a foot-fault call on her at the end of her game loss to Kim Clijsters in the 2009 U.S. Open semifinals. All I know is, Serena does NOT play when it comes to tennis!

Check out the actual play and Serena’s comments towards the umpire in the first two videos below. In the third video, she shares her thoughts on the umpire incident during a press conference.
