<p>The actor Kevin Hart ruled out hosting this year's Oscars because he no longer had enough time to prepare for the show, days after saying he was evaluating his December decision to step down over criticism of past homophobic comments.</p>

<p><br />
He told ABC that he was no longer willing to discuss the anti-gay comments he had made on Twitter in 2010 and 2011, which caused the uproar that led him to step down as host, saying his previous explanations and apology were sufficient.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
"I'm over it," he said repeatedly to almost every question on the topic during a sometimes testy interview on ABC's 'Good Morning America.'</p>

<p>&nbsp;<br />
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named Hart as Oscars host in December, but he stepped down soon after amid criticism of his past tweets.</p>

<p><br />
Last week, Hart had said he was re-evaluating that decision after the openly-gay comedian Ellen DeGeneres, a past Oscars host, said she had called the Academy to advocate for Hart. By Wednesday, the evaluation appeared to be over.</p>

<p>"No, I'm not hosting the Oscars this year," he said in an ABC interview. "It's not in God's plan right now." He said he could not rule out hosting in future years.</p>

<p><br />
Hart, known for his stand-up comedy and roles in films including 'Ride Along,' said he would not have enough time ahead of the Feb. 24 ceremony in Los Angeles to prepare to do a professional job: "If I do something I want to give it my all."&nbsp;<br />

<p>Another time he slipped on this issue was in his 2010 special ‘Seriously Funny,’ as he said “one of my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay,” and added, “Keep in mind, I’m not homophobic, I have nothing against gay people, do what you want to do, but me, being a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will.”</p>

Kevin Hart fans will be disappointed after reading this news as the actor-comedian stepped down as the Oscars 2019 host, following hue and cry on the social media over his controversial past tweets.

Kevin Hart fans will be disappointed after reading this news as the actor-comedian stepped down as the Oscars 2019 host, following hue and cry on the social media over his controversial past tweets. This comes just two days after it was announced that he will woo the audience with his wit on Hollywood’s biggest night. Taking to Twitter, he wrote just after midnight Friday that he was withdrawing from hosting. He tweeted: “I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists. I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.” I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year's Oscar's....this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists. I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past. — Kevin Hart (@KevinHart4real) December 7, 2018 × Explaining himself, Hart posted a video on Instagram in which he detailed what ensued between the Academy and himself. Apparently, Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences gave him an ultimatum -- to apologize or “we’re going to have to move on and find another host.” He refused to apologise and said: “I chose to pass on the apology,” Hart said. “The reason why I passed is because I’ve addressed this several times.” View this post on Instagram I know who I am & so do the people closest to me. #LiveLoveLaugh A post shared by Kevin Hart (@kevinhart4real) on Dec 6, 2018 at 7:31pm PST × The tweets thus mentioned were shared by the actor several years earlier.

Kevin Hart steps down as Oscars 2019 host, two days after announcement

<p>If there were any doubts that the upcoming Academy Awards of 2019 would be boring to watch, erase them as star comedian Kevin Hart has just confirmed that he will be hosting the Hollywood’s biggest night.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Taking to Instagram on Tuesday to confirm the news, Kevin wrote: "I will be sure to make this year's Oscars a special one," adding, "now it's time to rise to the occasion."</p>

<p>This will be the first time when Kevin will get to host the Oscars night, one of the most-watched and loved awards night globally.&nbsp;</p>

<p>First-time producers Donna Gigliotti and Glenn Weiss will oversee the show, with Gigliotti as the producer and Weiss on hand as co-producer and director.</p>

<p>Kevin also thanked The Academy for the opportunity and wrote: "I appreciate @TheAcademy for the opportunity," and added, "For years I have been asked if I would ever Host the Oscars and my answer was always the same...I said that it would be the opportunity of a lifetime for me as a comedian and that it will happen when it's supposed to."&nbsp;</p>

The Category 4 storm named Hurricane Harvey tore through Texas, causing catastrophic flooding and damage to Houston and surrounding areas last weekend

Ever since Hurricane Harvey has affected lives and property in Texas and neighbouring areas, Hollywood celebrities have come out to support and donate to the relief work. Leonardo DiCaprio is the latest celebrity to pledge monetary assistance to the Texas victims of Hurricane Harvey. The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation has pledged the money to the newly established United Way Harvey Recovery Fund. United Way Worldwide is the largest privately funded nonprofit that is working to support those affected by the strongest hurricane that has hit the US mainland since 12 years. This isn't the first time that The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation has provided support to disaster relief aid. Leonardo is known for his philanthropic ways--he has provided donations to the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, 2012 Hurricane Sandy, and others. Watch: In Pics Tropical Storm Harvey devastates Houston Recently, another high-profile actress Sandra Bullock was reported to donate $1 million dollars to the relief efforts of the American Red Cross. In a statement, she said, "There are no politics in eight feet of water. There are human beings in eight feet of water" while commenting on how despite the political divide in the country, Americans must unite in a time of a disaster like Hurricane Harvey. Among others from the fraternity, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Ruby Rose, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Rachael Ray, Ellen Degeneres, Fall Out Boy, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Kim Kardashian West, Chris Brown, Lin-Manuel Miranda, DJ Khaled, T.I., and Nicki Minaj have pledged their support with donations.
