Lick the Rapper

Hitting newstands November 25, it's KING's Year-End issue!

Naturi Naughton
"BIG THINGS POPPIN'”
No longer one-third of teenybopper R&B group 3LW, Naturi Naughton has grown up in a B.I.G. way. Taking Lil' Kim's raunchy persona by the horns for the upcoming Biggie biopic, Notorious, the starlet gives us a dress rehearsal.

Milani Rose
"GOOD MORNING!”
Web Girl of the Year Milani Rose dominated our browsers in '08. Briefly putting monitors to sleep, the flat-screen pinup invites us over for breakfast in bed. Rise and shine!

KING Person of the Year: Hillary Clinton
"MRS. CLINTON WEARS THE PANTS”
A pity party, this is not. After the waterworks, sharp elbows and eventual loss in the Democratic primaries, KING salutes the year's most influential figure: Senator Hillary Clinton. No recount necessary.

Ron Artest
"THE EDUCATION OF RON ARTEST”
Ron Artest can snap quicker than rubber bands. In this telling reflection, KING reconnected the newly recruited Houston Rocket with a grade-school peer to examine the baller's troubled childhood.

Rutina Wesley
"KILLER CURVES”
Rutina Wesley's character on HBO's True Blood is more guarded than LeBron in the fourth quarter. But here, the slender actress comes clean about one-night stands and vampire fetishes.

Just the Facts
"THE GREAT ESCAPE”
Vanishing from their New Jersey prison cells last year, two inmates pulled off a real-life, Shawshank Redemption–style jailbreak. Following a guard's suspicious suicide and the recapturing of the fugitives, KING goes back to the clink to investigate.

TAG
"SUPER STYLE SENSE”
Cold-hearted on The Wire and Heroes, Jamie Hector warms up to winter coats and hats.
