Tyrese not apologizing

Singer/actor Tyrese Gibson caught heat for his offensive comments about overweight people last week. During a recent interview with AllHipHop.com, Tyrese was asked, “What kind of responsibility do you feel as an entertainer, you have to inspire people to live healthier lifestyles?”

Tyrese, 34, responded, “No two situations are the same. If you are fat and nasty and you don’t like the way you look, do something about it. It’s simple. When you take a shower and you put your fat, nasty body in the shower and by the time you get out, the mirrors are all steamed up so you don’t look at what you did to yourself.

Beyonce and Jay Z's Trip to Cuba

The furor over Beyonce and Jay Z’s trip to communist Cuba continues to rage. The hip hop couple, who celebrated their 5th anniversary in Cuba, apparently made the trip without the U.S. State Department’s approval, according to Theweek.com.
