Suge Knight has claimed that Tupac Shakur‘s friends and relatives smokes some of his ashes following his death. The Death Row Records co-founder, who was driving the car in which Shakur was fatally shot in September 1996, shared his memories in a new interview with TMZ from prison. According to Knight, Shakur’s mother Afeni asked for her son to be cremated immediately after his death.

Two prominent Jewish advocacy groups have called out Mark Ruffalo for spreading “antisemitic tropes.” “Words matter, and so does the willingness to draw a line when legitimate debate gives way to antisemitic tropes,” said Jim Berk, CEO of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. “We commend Paramount for speaking clearly and refusing to allow prejudice to masquerade as political or corporate criticism.

Mexican courtyards reflect the influence of the Moors, the North African Islamic group that ruled Spain for 800 years and whose ornate tilework, intricate geometric patterns and…
