NEW YORK - When Vogue announced its April cover starring LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen, the magazine noted with some fanfare that James was the first black man to grace its cover.

But the image is stirring up controversy, with some commentators decrying the photo as perpetuating racial stereotypes. James strikes what some see as a gorilla-like pose, baring his teeth, with one hand dribbling a ball and the other around Bundchen's tiny waist.

It's an image some have likened to "King Kong" and Fay Wray.

"It conjures up this idea of a dangerous black man," said Tamara Walker, 29, of Philadelphia.

Photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the 6-foot-9 NBA star and the 5-foot-11 Brazilian model for the cover and an inside spread. Vogue spokesman Patrick O'Connell said the magazine "sought to celebrate two superstars at the top of their game" for the magazine's annual issue devoted to size and shape.

REMY 25 Year

(AGI) - New York, Mar. 28 - Aggression, illegal possession of a weapon and attempted coercion. American rapper Remy Ma (earlier Remy Smith) could go to prison for 25 years for injuring a girlfriend last year in front of a bar in New York. The victim, Makeda Bernes-Joseph, was shot in the abdomen and had to be operated on three times. According to his lawyers, the singer had no intentions of hitting her, it was an accident, but according to the public prosecutor Remy has fired on purpose after accusing the woman of stealing over 3,000 dollars from him. The verdict on April 23.
