JAY Z TRIBUTES MANDELA




World leaders from around the globe and tens of thousands of South Africans gathered in FNB Stadium in Johannesburg yesterday to celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela. President Obama, former president Bill Clinton and Bono were among those in attendance at the massive memorial service. A few hip-hop stars paid tribute in their own ways too.

Jay Z took his ‘Magna Carter ... Holy Grail Tour’ to Staples Center in Los Angeles, where he dedicated his set-closing "Young Forever" to the anti-apartheid South African leader who endured a 27-year prison sentence before becoming the first democratically elected black president in his country.

"We want to dedicate this song to Nelson Mandela. Great man, who spent 27 years in prison, came out to be president. All dreams are possible," Hov told the L.A. crowd on Monday as pictures of the man they called Madiba flashed on the arena's screens. "Let that great man stand as an example of what you can do," he encouraged the crowd.



Wyclef Jean chose to honor the beloved world leader by posting a video for his new song "Nelson Mandela Tribute." 'Clef sits alone in a room playing guitar and rides the rhythm, telling Mandela's story in song form. "I wrote this song when I shook the hand of the prophet, Nelson Mandela," he wailed as a picture of Wylcef, U2's Bono and Mandela appeared onscreen.

The Game expressed his love for Madiba in a different way. In an Instagram posted on Tuesday, the Compton rapper showed off a new Nelson Mandela tattoo, which he got inked on the side of his torso. "Nelson Mandela lookin out of the prison bars by @NikkoHurtado done on my side. 7 hour sitting.... Few more hours to tie in the tats around it & we solid," he captioned the pic.

The Answer: They stare, they ogle, they pat and they pinch. But what is it that draws some men so intensely to the female behind? The long held theory that an hourglass figure, including a full lower body, is attractive because it suggests health and fertility has been largely discredited. It has yet to be replaced by a convincing alternative. What we do know is that a booty is a uniquely female trait—and therefore uniquely feminine. After puberty, sex hormones begin to dictate the distribution of fat on the body. In men, fat accumulation is stimulated around the gut and inhibited in the seat. It’s the opposite for women, who tend to carry fat in their gluteofemoral region, that is, the butt and thighs. That doesn’t mean that males everywhere are universally attracted to a round rump. Body weight, in general, seems to hold more sway, but preferences vary between cultures. For instance, one study suggested that while British, Spanish and Portuguese men all favored slender
