We love a good prank and that’s exactly what Kevin Hart and the Borderlands cast pulled off during a hilariously unserious interview with members of the press during Comic-Con.

Hart, along with cast members Jamie Lee Curtis, Edgar Ramírez, Florian Munteanu, and driector Eli Roth used earpieces to prank the unsuspecting journalists with shenanigan-stuffed answers to their questions about the upcoming Action/Sc-Fi film.

Check out the viral video below:

In bonkers video game adaptation Borderlands (opening Aug. 9), an infamous bounty hunter with a mysterious past named Lilith (Cate Blanchett) reluctantly returns to her home Pandora–the most chaotic planet in the galaxy.

While there, she sets out to find the missing daughter of Atlas (Edgar Ramírez)–the universe’s most powerful S.O.B. before forming an unexpected alliance with a ragtag squad of misfits including Roland (Kevin Hart)–a seasoned mercenary on a mission, Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt)–a feral pre-teen who blows things up, Krieg (Florian Munteanu)–Tina’s mountain-sized protector, Tannis (Jamie Lee Curtis)–the weirdo scientist who’s seen it all, and Claptrap (Jack Black)–a wisecracking robot.

Together, these very unlikely heroes must battle an alien species and murderous bandits to uncover one of Pandora’s most explosive secrets with the fate of the universe in their hands. Well, maybe.

Check out the raucous trailer below:

With a star-studded limited series and summer blockbuster on the way, Hart is on another impressive run that also includes a partnership with Airbnb for an exclusive VIP experience at his luxurious Coramino Live Lounge in LA.

For three nights only, lucky guests will step behind the velvet rope into Kevin’s members-only speakeasy for two of the star’s favorite things: good company and great tequila.

Guests will get Kevin Hart-level VIP treatment complete with a tequila tasting with the man of the hour, live DJ set, and star-studded night of performances straight from Kevin’s contact list.

“The Coramino Live Lounge is the pairing of my two greatest passions – comedy and tequila,” said Kevin about the epic experience. “It’s a testament to all my hard work, and now I’m excited for you to get a front row seat to how I live.”

In a statement that will reverberate through history, President Biden announced he was stepping down from the 2024 Presidential race before endorsing VP Harris who intends to “earn and win” the Democratic nomination.

“On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country,” wrote Madam Vice President in an official statement shared on Twitter X.

“His remarkable legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history, surpassing the legacy of many Presidents who have served two terms in office.”

She went on to confirm that she was “honored to have the President’s endorsement” and that she intended to “earn and win this nomination.”

“Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. “We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”

WeTV is set to premiere the first 15 minutes of the original groundbreaking installment of the popular franchise Love After Lockup Friday July 19th, but before it hits TV we’ve got an exclusive first look for our BOSSIP readers.

Check it out below:

Wow… A needle in the bathroom is craaazy?!

Love After Lockup follows seven couples, including two Love During Lockup fan favorites, as they discover more love, new doubts, and encounter unforeseen obstacles in their relationships. The couples are as vulnerable and raw as ever as they share their emotional journeys and continue to find true love beyond prison walls.

Meet The Couples:

Hope & Arthur (Dallas, TX)

Hope is a truck driver who seems to have a tough exterior, but has a soft side for her boyfriend, Arthur, who is currently behind bars. Although Hope and Arthur are in love, there are some trust issues they have to work through to make their relationship work. Hope was unfaithful to Arthur during his incarceration and he isn’t sticking around if that happens again.

Bianca & Daniel (Dania Beach, FL)

At 23 years old, Bianca was the victim of a DUI crash which nearly cost her her life. While she was in recovery, she decided to reach out to someone who committed the same crime she was a victim of to get more insight into why someone would drink and drive. But this penpal quickly turned into a fiancé.

Kimberly & Joey (Eden, NC)

A married mom of 2, Kim reached out to Joey to reconnect during her separation from her children’s father. Now with Joey getting released, they both try to keep their exes in the past, but Joey receives a suspicious message in prison claiming that Kim is cheating on him! Kim assures Joey it is a lie, but is baffled as to who is going out of their way to break up their relationship. Could it be her ex? Could it be his?

Shonta & True (Kansas City, MO)

Shonta & True began their love story on Love During Lockup Season 5, where we learned Shonta spent $40k and moved across state lines for someone she’s never met. In Love After Lockup, Shonta finally meets her fiancé, True, face-to-face for the first time at his release after spending 13 years in prison.

Zeruiah & Troy (Syracuse, NY)

Zeruiah is a pastor’s daughter who grew up in a strict household but started rebelling in her teens with the men she dated. Zeruiah’s ex-husband and son’s father was locked up and she wound up falling for his cell neighbor, Troy. She divorced her ex and married Troy. Although Zeruiah’s family is accepting of her relationship, they are still weary of it. Her parents feel that if Troy is going to be a part of the family, he needs to be a part of the Church.

Julian & Christine (Annapolis, MD)

The phrase ‘opposites attract’ fits perfectly when it comes to Julian and Christine. Julian, a conservative aspiring writer, found himself in an unexpected relationship when book research led him to the love of his life. When Julian reached out to Christine, an inmate locked up for bank robbery, he intended to get some insight for his book, but instead found a connection he never expected.

Latisha & Keith (Davenport, IA)

Latisha and Keith’s love story started in Love During Lockup Season 4F, and now with Keith meant to get out any day, Latisha is overjoyed for Love After Lockup. A recently-passed law could grant Keith an immediate release! Latisha can’t wait for Keith to get out and finally consummate their marriage!

The highly-anticipated new season of Love After Lockup premieres on WeTV Friday, July 26th at 9pm ET/8pm CT with 10 must-see 90-minute episodes.
