Kevin Hart To Host 91st Academy Awards In February
Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves an Oscar host. Actor and comedian Kevin Hart will emcee the 91st Academy Awards telecast on February 24, 2019.
Hart announced the news Tuesday afternoon on his In- stagram account.
Hart follows in the foot- steps of Jimmy Kimmel, who had the hosting gig the past two years. The Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star will work with producers Donna Gigliotti and Glenn Weiss, who will oversee the production for the first time. Weiss will also direct.

Kevin Hart will host the 2019 Oscars in February.

We bet Magic John- son is breathing a sigh of re- lief today after news that his daughter almost got caught up in a home invasion in LA’s San Fernando Valley.
Elisa Johnson is re- ported to be just fine after getting out of harm’s way by fleeing a house in the val- ley where 2 armed men staged an early morning home invasion, according to TMZ.

At this point it’s unclear if the suspects broke in or if the door was unlocked — but we’re told they held people at gunpoint, shoving them around the home.
Elisa, 23, was in a bed-
room and heard the commo- tion. She supposedly fled through a sliding glass door at the back of the home and ran down the street to escape harm.
As far as the bad guys, un- fortunately, they did their job and cleaned out the home and fled before police arrived. They are said to have made off with a Rolex and other jewelry, cash and electronics for a total haul worth be- tween $30-$40k.
Elisa, who has appeared on her brother, E. J. John- son’s reality show is okay and no one else in the house suffered any physical in- juries.

Duane Martin Accused Of Using Loan From Will And Jada In Bankruptcy Scam
As the divorce proceedings continue between Tisha Campbell-Martin and her soon-to-be ex-husband Duane Martin, their finan- cial drama is also making headlines.
As reported by TMZ, Mar- tin pulled off a scam in the couple’s bankruptcy case, even using a loan from Will and Jada Pinkett Smith to do so.
As previously reported ... Tisha wants money from Duane, claiming in the June divorce docs that he hid certain finances during their marriage.
Here’s how the outlet breaks it down:
Bankruptcy officials claim Duane Martin hid money for years from several different sources ... even though he and Tisha filed for bankruptcy in January 2016. According to the docs ... Duane had hundreds
DUANE MARTIN
of thousands of dollars coming in from a clothing store and a real estate investment, but did- n’t disclose that info in bank- ruptcy documentation.
Officials say they became privy of Duane’s shady finan- cial moves after Tisha filed for divorce from him in February and discovered her estranged hubby “concealed” and “di- verted valuable assets” in their
bankruptcy case.
Specifically, the docs say
Duane used a $1.4 million loan he got from his friends, Will and Jada, through their company to buy a home and sell it later for a million dollar profit “with the intention of pocketing the sales.”
Officials allege the loan was part of a larger “sham” by Duane. They are asking for his ‘discharge of debts — which was granted in the bankruptcy case — to now be revoked ... and for him to turn over the cash he’s been hiding’ – the re- port states.
Sources close to Tisha say she tried to convince her ex to tell the truth but the actress ul- timately had to reveal that Duane “concealed” and “di- verted valuable assets” in their bankruptcy case in order to “avoid jail and be there for their two children.”
