Strange Love

With a fetish for hip-hop and pit bulls, veteran punk rocker Billy Idol throws his rap down on paper for Eve.

Hello Eve,

I’m sure you remember me from my MTV glory days in the ‘80s as the punk rocker most hated to love. Well, when I first laid eyes on you, I saw this beautiful modern girl. You have so much going on I can’t help but imagine, What do you do on the weekends? What do you do to relax? I think you need someone to relax with, really.

I’d love to take you out in L.A. and do something sexy like ride you around town on my Harley. Or maybe we can get away together. One of my best vacations was at the Hotel Bora Bora. The only problem was I had to borrow to get there. I’ll be honest, baby: I’ve got no money. I’m a punk rocker. I know you’re probably thinking, like, “Why would I wanna meet a 50 year old who maybe finally figured out how to use his tongue?” Well let me tell you, I have what I call the “Idol Grip.” It’s pretty amazing and it works wonders.

Turbulence!

Soul Plane was the Gigli of black cinema. Now, 365 days after its theatrical release, KING asks: What happened to some of those poor souls?

Kevin Hart

(“NaShawn,” airplane owner who earned his start-up money by getting sucked down an airline toilet. Seriously)

The bland, unfunny Hart co-hosted the 2004 Source Awards, which was BET’s second highest rated program of 2004. The comic is currently filming Dying For Dolly, receiving second billing to seasoned thespian Usher Raymond.

Method Man

(“Muggsy,” NaShawn’s cousin who looks like, acts like and is Method Man—except for the purple headband)

Only Democrats in Congress had a worse 2004 than the Ticallion Stallion. That Method & Red sitcom made In The House look like Seinfeld and was canceled midseason. Making matters worse, his long-awaited third album, Tical 0: The Prequel, did Master Killer numbers.
