James Corden vs. Kevin Hart: It. Is. ON!

DING! DING! DING!


On The Late Late Show with James Corden on Wednesday night, the British host once again put his rapping skills to hilarious use, taking Kevin Hart on in the latest installment of Drop the Mic.


Introduced a couple weeks ago, this segment finds celebrities going at each other with insults on stage… in rap form.


It all started when Corden slammed Anne Hathaway for being terrible at accents:



That was a pretty strong diss, but it was nothing compared to how Corden and Hart go back and forth in the video below.


"Where is he? There he is? I found you Kevin Hart," Corden opened, referencing the Top Five actor"s miniature stature.


"There are no small actors but you"re all small parts. You"re adorable. Look at this guy. You"re so little when you smoke weed you get junior high."


OOOOHHHH! ZING!


"Get Hard, Ride Along, Ride Along 2, hey you"re great at being in movies with people more famous than you," Corden added.



When it was time for Hart to do his thing, Corden offered him a stool… which the actor angrily turned down.


"James Corden thinks I look like a kid. Well, I might be small but my bank account"s big," Hart rapped.


"I admit people are nice to your face until they get home and realize you"re not Ricky Gervais…


"Carpool Karaoke how long will that last? How do you rap with your head up Lin-Manuel"s ass?"


Your response, James?


"Kevin Hart thinks he got in a zinger, but now you"re going to flop harder than The Wedding Ringer.


"You won"t remember that, his movie with Josh Gad. It"s on Netflix filed under unwatchably bad."


HA! We love it!


Watch these two go at it in full below:

Jo Cox, British Parliament Member, Shot and Stabbed to Death on the Street

Jo Cox, a member of the British Parliament representing Batley and Spen, was shot and stabbed to death outside a library in West Yorkshire on Thursday.


She was 41 years old




Cox



According to The BBC, Cox intervened after witnessing two men fighting outside.


It doesn’t appear as if Cox has any connection to either of the men, but instead was simply trying to do her civic duty.


The confrontation took place between an unnamed 77-year old and an unnamed 52-year old, with a local cafe owner saying he saw Cox get in between the two men.


He tells The BBC that he heard a “loud popping noise that sounded like a balloon burst – a loud balloon.”


It was a gunshot, however, and he adds:


“He shot this lady once and then he shot her again…


“Somebody tried to grab him, wrestling with him and then he wielded a knife, like a hunting knife, just started lunging at her with a knife half a dozen times.


“People were screaming and running from the area.”


Cox was taken via ambulance to Leeds General Infirmary after the incident. She was initially listed in critical condition, but passed away a short time later.


The 52-year old has been arrested.


Cox was born in Batley and graduated from Cambridge University in 1995; she was elected to her position last year.


Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party, spoke out following the incident via Twitter.


“Utterly shocked by the news of the attack on Jo Cox,” he wrote. “The thoughts of the whole Labour Party are with her and her family at this time.”


Cox is survived by her husband and two kids.


Kim Kardashian vs. Taylor Swift: Unexpected Feud Alert!

Forget Trump vs. Clinton, Cavs vs. Warriors or Batman v. Superman. (Actually, you’ve probably forgotten that one already.)


The real clash of the titans this summer is between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian.



Yes, two of the most important women in Kanye’s life (for very different reasons) may be soon to butt heads, after Kim fired some shots at Taylor in a recent interview.


As you may recall, Kim appeared nude on the cover of GQ yesterday.


Obviously, naked Kim Kardashian is no longer Internet-breaking news these days, but Kim’s comments in the accompanying interview are raising a lot of eyebrows today.


Asked about Taylor calling out Kanye West for what she described as sexist, bullying lyrics, Kim went off on Yeezy’s on-again, off-again rival:


“[Taylor] totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t,” Kim told the men’s mag.


“She totally approved that [line in the song about Swift]…. I swear, my husband gets so much s–t for things [when] he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved. What rapper would call a girl that he was rapping a line about to get approval?



“She totally gave the okay. Rick Rubin was there. So many respected people in the music business heard that [conversation] and knew. I mean, he’s called me a bitch in songs.


That’s just, like, what they say. I never once think, [gasping] ‘What a derogatory word! How dare he?’ Not in a million years. I don’t know why she just, you know, flipped all of a sudden.


“It was funny because [on the call with Kanye, Taylor] said, ‘When I get on the Grammy red carpet, all the media is going to think that I’m so against this, and I’ll just laugh and say, ‘The joke’s on you, guys. I was in on it the whole time.’ And I’m like, wait, but [in] your Grammy speech, you completely dissed my husband just to play the victim again.”


Asked if she’s had any contact with Taylor in the months since the Grammys, Kim dropped another bomb:


“No. Maybe an attorney’s letter she sent saying, ‘Don’t ever let that footage come out of me saying that. Destroy it.’” 


Whoa. The past 24 hours, have not exactly been kind to Taylor’s reputation as one of the more authentic A-listers.


First she was accused of staging the now-famous photo of her kissing Tom Hiddleston by just about everyone who saw it, now Kim Kardashian is alleging that the singer threw a fellow celeb under the bus just to make herself look like a victim.


We’re guessing Taylor will comment on these developments some time today.


We’re hoping her comments take the form of shade thrown at Kim because, well … we’re shameless when it comes to a good celebrity feud, and this one is as big as it gets.


Disney Alligator Attack Witness: "Everything Unfolded In Less than 30 Seconds"

As his family grieves, witnesses are recalling how an alligator made a surprise attack on two-year-old Lane Graves on June 14th.



Graves was wading in the Seven Seas Lagoon at Walt Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort when an alligator emerged, snatched the little boy and dragged him underwater.


“We know that that happened and it is certainly not survivable at this point for him to have been submerged for that period of time,” Sheriff Jerry Demings said in a press conference before the body was found.


The Orlando Sentinel spoke to hotel guest Bill Wilson from Indiana, who saw the whole thing unfold from his balcony.


Wilson told the newspaper that at first, it sounded like a fight broke out on the beach.


“I looked over and here comes one of the lifeguards. He said, ‘Everybody get out of the water.’


“The mother was there and she was frantic, running up and down looking.”


The entire ordeal, Wilson recalled, happened in 30 seconds.  


A minute later, the alligator was gone, with Grave his in mouth.


Wilson saw the group – which included a lifeguard and Grave’s parents, gathered by the water’s edge.  That part of the beach was not lit, and it was very dark, he noted.


Almost immediately, Wilson said, first responders and Disney employees got to work searching for the little boy.


“Disney did every damn thing they could do to help,” he said.


Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings confirmed that divers found Graves’ body around 1:45 pm ET on June 15th in six feet of “murky” water, roughly 10-15 yards from where he was snatched.  


Other than a few puncture wounds, the body was in tact.


Graves was visiting Disney World with his older sister and their parents, Matt and Melissa from Nebraska.  They were enjoying their third day of vacation during the resort’s “Movie Night” on the beach.


“No Swimming” signs are posted on the beach, but there is no mention of being aware of alligators.
