"All those hosting the Oscars take two steps forward. Ah, ah, ah, not so fast Mr. Hart..."

And Kevin Hart is gone.

Kevin Hart steps down as Oscars host
NEW YORK (AP) - The Latest on the Academy Awards (all times local):
12:10 a.m.
Kevin Hart says he has stepped down as Oscars host following an outcry over previous anti-gay tweets by the comedian.
Hart posted on Twitter early Friday an apology to the LGBTQ community for his past words.
He said he stepped down so as not to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists.

Kevin Hart's response to criticism over earlier homophobic tweets has further inflamed the backlash to the newly minted Oscar host.
On Thursday, Hart wrote on Instagram that critics should "stop being negative" after years-old tweets surfaced in which he used homophobic slurs. In an accompanying video, a shirtless Hart said he wasn't going to "let the craziness frustrate me." Hart said he "loves everybody."
The gay media watchdog group GLAAD said it has reached out to Oscars broadcaster ABC, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences and Hart's management to "discuss Kevin's anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and record."
In a 2010 stand-up special, Hart said "if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will."
The film academy on Tuesday announced Hart as host to its February ceremony. A representative for the academy didn't respond to messages Thursday.

The best comment I saw today is Ron Chernow will now host the Oscars.

Ellen forgives Kevin Hart 

The rest of the LGBTQ community don’t seem to have done the same

Kevin Hart sustains “major injury” to his back in accident on Mulholland.
 

No I don’t know why the Daily Mail is the only link presently available to the story.

I googled his name and went to the news tab and there are now lots of reports. Here's one from KABC which at least looked at the CHP report:

I enjoyed his Kimmel interview. He seems to be healthy and in good spirits.
