Naya Rivera Apologizes For Saying Showering Daily Was 'A White People Thing' (VIDEO)
When Naya Rivera appeared as a guest host on The View earlier this week (Jan. 13), she caused quite an uproar when she said “white people shower a lot more than ethnics” and deemed showering daily or more than once a day “a white people thing.”
After feeling the wrath of Twitter, Big Sean’s ex-bae returned to The View to issue an apology and claimed her comments were meant for comical relief.
“Yesterday, we were talking about a study that says you’re supposed to shower once or twice every three days. I had an opinion on it that was supposed to be a joke. Apparently it didn’t go over so well,” she told the audience.

Pharrell's Hat Will Be On Display At The Grammy Museum
Pharrell Williams’ hat is back for an encore.
He caused a frenzy when he wore that Vivienne Westwood to the 2014 Grammys. Twitter had jokes for days, saying he borrowed the hat from Smokey the Bear while the fast food spot Arby’s also poked a little fun since the hat resembled their logo.
Since the hat took on a life of its own, it will be on display at the Grammy Museum in LA beginning today (Jan. 15) until Mar. 15th. Showcasing the famous headgear is a part of the “Grammy Effect” theme for this year’s ceremony which takes place on Feb. 8th.
The Westwood hat does not belong to Pharrell anymore. Arby’s purchased it for $44.100 when the “Come Get It Bae” singer auctioned it on eBay last year with the proceeds going to his charity, “From One Hand To Another.”

Bill Cosby Under Fire Again After New Accuser Files Charges
Though many have argued that the accusations that Bill Cosby is currently facing occurred too long ago to establish concrete evidence, new accuser Chloe Goins has officially filed charges for an incident that she claims happened in 2008 at the Playboy Mansion. According to Goins, she was drugged and sexually assaulted by the fallen comedian and is now looking for her day in court.
After formally filing charges with the LAPD her lawyer advised “Ms. Goins is now determined to accomplish what so many other victims no longer have the opportunity to do— to be the girl that puts Mr. Cosby behind bars, where he belongs. Ms. Goins is here today to seek justice…She fully understands and accepts the immense responsibility that her decision to be here today carries.
The statement continued, “Apparently, Mr. Cosby feels brazen and confident enough in his actions to make jokes in his recent comedy shows about the 25 plus women that have been brave enough to come out and tell their stories of what he did to them.” Her lawyer added, “Ms. Goins is certainly not joking…Mr. Cosby should and will be held accountable.”

Uber Facing Backlash Against Excessive Fare Surges
After receiving an “F” rating from the Better Business Bureau, New York City Councilman David G. Greenfield is joining the fight against Uber’s now infamous fare spikes, which recently came under fire after many patrons complained of extraordinarily high fees during the holiday season.
Looking to put an end to sky high fares, Greenfield is proposing a cap on price surges explaining “We love Uber, we just hate price gouging… As New Yorkers, we live and die by the rule that we do not want to be ripped off.” He added, “Many of our cabbies are immigrants who are being punished by a $40 billion corporation. It’s quashing the American dream here in New York City.”
"Nobody Wants Me To Live Longer Than Them" Reveals Tupac In Interview Just Before His Death
Recorded nearly two decades ago, JMix/Jessesurratt Productions has unveiled a previously unheard interview with Tupac Shakur and actor Jim Belushi as they were promoting their 1996 film Gang Related. Reportedly held a month before Shakur was gunned down in Las Vegas, the legendary artist discusses the origin of his name, how jail humbled him and more.
According to the Pac, “To be perfectly honest, I’m very conceited. But how the world prevents it is by putting me in jail for a crime I didn’t commit last year. That kinda humbles you out. But now that I’m out and I’m free it keeps me humble. It keeps my feet on the ground…All of us as human beings have a dominant and a quiet side. I happen to be a Gemini and I’m young and I’m black and I’m from the hood, so it’s just you got all these different facets, but I’m an artist. And I’m hungry for knowledge, so there’s no pigeonhole for them to put me in, so they’d rather just make it look like I’m crazy. That’s the biggest misconception.”
He goes on, “People ask me what my name means, I don’t tell ‘em like ‘Tupac Amaru.’ But I just say it means determined because I’m determined to never ever negotiate again. We are in the midst of war. Nobody wants me to live longer than them. Nobody’s gonna give me the breath out of their mouth for me to live longer, so therefore I’m not giving anybody the breath out of my mouth for them to live longer. I’ll just breathe deeply and go through this life myself without bothering anybody. Without pushing anybody else over. But on the same token, nobody ever will move me from where I’m standing.”

DJ Mustard Reveals "IDFWU" Was Originally Meant For Justin Bieber
In a recent interview with MTV News, booming California DJ Mustard revealed that the beat for the still popular “I Don’t F*ck With You” was initially intended for Justin Bieber before it was ultimately scooped up by G.O.O.D. Music artist Big Sean.
Mustard explained, “We just didn’t communicate; nobody communicated with my team. There’s not no hard feelings or anything like that. It’s not a beef or no crazy s### like that, but we didn’t communicate. I was excited about the record.
He added, “ When I got in with Sean, Sean had already picked the record,” the producer explained. “I’m like, ‘Dang, Justin got this record.’ And I always kept telling my management like, ‘Yo, they got this record,’ and everybody was like, ‘Well, we reaching, and nobody else is reaching out to us. So what do you wanna do?’ And I was like, you know what, just give it to Sean, because me and Sean got a relationship. And I ended up doing four songs on Sean’s album.”
