Could Jonah Hill be the new king of pop? The scene stealing actor from flicks like Superbad and Forgetting Sarah Marshall is taking 2009 by storm—he stars in America’s current #1 movie (Night At The Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian), as well as Judd Apatow’s upcoming dramedy Funny People, and he’s even co-writing and producing Sacha Baron Cohen’s eagerly anticipated Brüno flick. To celebrate Jonah’s new superstar status, we photographed him in various Michael Jackson-themed scenarios for our off-the-wall June/July 2009 cover story. Shamon!

We have to admit, it took us a while to come around to pop’s latest princess Katy Perry. But somewhere between “I Kissed A Girl” dominating radio airwaves and her two-riffic Grammy appearance, we realized that the female K.P. is in fact the complete wifey package—sexy, funny, talented, and easy-going. Don’t believe us? Get to know Katy a lot better in our June/July cover story…

By now, we’re sure you’ve seen our latest issue with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian on the cover. Well, the issue was so popular that it sold out completely in less than a week! To make up for the issue flying off stands so quickly, we decided to rush out a second issue for the month of April: Meet The Class of 2009!
That’s right, Complex has chosen our 6 favorite trendsetters to grace our latest split cover: Aaron “Yung L.A.” Reid, Officer Ricky and Sean Kingston on one side, and Stack$, Yung Berg and Nefu Da Don on the other. The issue hits stands today, so go cop it! Get full size covers below…

In case you couldn’t tell from the groundbreaking Kanye West cover story we unveiled yesterday, Complex’s April/May 2009 issue is gonna be a doozy. For the issue’s other cover, we knew we had to get a woman who could go toe-to-toe with 'Ye’s larger-than-life celebrity. Who else but our girl Kim?
See, Complex was the first magazine to feature Kim Kardashian on a cover back in 2007, just before she blew up. And now that she’s America’s Sweetheart, we had to reunite and do something different for our annual Green Issue. Instead of the same old cookie cutter sexy shoot, we decided to go conceptual'shooting Kim in front of a series of projected backgrounds that highlight our planet’s environmental plight. Think of it as curves with a cause.

No matter how many times we collaborate with him, we can always count on Kanye to come with a completely original idea when it’s time do a cover story. And as you probably guessed from the preview he posted on his blog back in January, we’ve got something really special planned for our April/May 2009 issue.
The magazine officially hits stands on April 7, but you can check out the full story now, along with the futuristic photo shoot, co-created with photographer/director Chris Milk. How did we make the hi-tech computer generated imagery? Watch the video below to see the whole process…

What is it about our Feb/March cover girl Elisha Cuthbert? Maybe it’s her sense of humor, her perfect body, or her good-girl-gone-bad looks. Or maybe it’s her roles: the jailbait jump-off in Old School, the terror-fightin’ daughter in 24, or the ex-porn star in The Girl Next Door. Whatever it is, we got it bad'even if she only dates pro-hockey players.
Our first issue of 2009 officially hits stands on February 10 (click here to check out the issue’s other cover story with Kobe Bryant), but we’re giving you a chance to check out the cover story (and the sexy photo shoot) right now. Still not enough? Watch our special behind-the-scenes video below and you’ll feel like you were there…
He’s been in the public eye since he escorted Brandy to the senior prom, but the truth is, not many people really know who Kobe Bryant is. For our Feb/March 2009 cover story, we really wanted to get inside the NBA superstar’s head, so we sent the one member of our staff who can relate to million-dollar checks and the ups and downs of life in the spotlight: our founder Marc Ecko.
Whether you love him or hate him, you won’t knock Kobe’s hustle after reading our candid Q&A. The issue officially hits stands on February 10, but we’re giving you the chance to check out the full Kobe cover story now, along with a few videos we shot on location at the shoot.

Ah, Kanye you spilled the beans again. Over the weekend, Mr. West posted some pictures on his blog that show the behind the scenes process of his upcoming Complex cover shoot. Yup, the secret's out'we're hooking up with 'Ye on some next-level shit for our April/May Issue, which drops on April 7.
Renowed video director/photographer Chris Milk is shooting the Louis Vuitton Don with a little help from the Graphics Lab at the USC Institute for Creative Technologies, the same special effects team who worked on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. As Kanye said, there won’t be any grey hairs on this cover, but we don’t want to give away any more of the final concept. Hold your breath, it's going to be a banger…
