Also, Tyrese posted on his Instagram that he has taken a piece of the wreckage from the crash site in memory of fallen friend/co-star Paul Walker. You can check out some additional pics from the makeshift memorial below. From TMZ:
Tyrese Gibson was overcome with grief Sunday afternoon when he showed up to the crash site where his “Fast and Furious” co-star Paul Walker died less than 24 hours before.
Tyrese paid tribute to Walker during a quick stop at the Santa Clarita crash spot moments ago … the same place fans are leaving tons of flowers and various tokens in honor of Walker.
Gibson is clearly falling apart while visiting the death site … and everyone around him is completely silent while he mourns.
Candlelight Vigil For Paul Walker Held At Crash Site (PIC)
From TMZ:
Paul Walker fans paid tribute to the 40-year old actor last night by holding a candlelight vigil on the site where he died.
The fans showed up in Santa Clarita Saturday evening … leaving flowers and lighting candles in Paul’s memory.
The vigil was held very shortly after law enforcement cleared the scene — removing the bodies of Paul and the driver Roger Rodas … as well as the charred wreckage of Roger’s Porsche Carrera GT.
The cause of the accident is under investigation, but witnesses tell us Roger was speeding at the time. Sheriff’s deputies confirm speed definitely played a part.

Lupe Fiasco Walks Off Stage In Salt Lake City After Being Hit With A Tomato; Later Rants About It
Late pass, but still…you can see the following rant below. Spotted on Huffington Post:
In Salt Lake City on Saturday night, rapper Lupe Fiasco cut his concert short after being struck by a tomato thrown from the crowd, but not before calling the woman who tossed the fruit a “fat, white bitch.”
The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment comes at about 1:12 in the video below, as Fiasco is performing one of his biggest hits, “Kick, Push.”
“If there’s more people like that out there, I need them the f-ck out of here,” Fiasco said to the crowd after being hit. Later in the video, Fiasco admonished the crowd for not handling the situation properly, and then threatened to go to the next stop on his tour.
On his protected Twitter feed, Fiasco commented on the incident, defending his use of the term “bitch” and explaining why he canceled the remainder of his show.

BEWARE: Zero Tolerance For Cannabis Drug Driving In The UK This Christmas
Katy Bourne the Police Crime Commissioner for Sussex explains how they will be cracking down on cannabis smokers this christmas with zero tolerance while you are still allowed to drink some alcohol and drive. Even though the evidence suggests against this kind of testing which does not test imparement or if you have been using high CBD cannabis that wont get you high it is being introduced. This is down to Lillians Law that was brought in after some idot without insurance or a licence got in his mates car to show off to someone hit a young girl, lillian who had run into the road. The idiot named John Page only got 8 months and didnt even serve the full termm back in 2010 – a half smoked joint was found on the dash board of the car and he had fled from the scene of the crime. When arrested it took 9 hours to get blood test sample by which time it was too late to say if he was high when driving.
The family of Lillian met with David Cameron who promised a crack down and zero tolerance campaign that was backed by 20,000 people.Sativex patients that drive are exempt. – UKCSC

8 Dead In Scotland After Helicopter Crashes Into Pub
From The Toronto Sun:
GLASGOW, Scotland – Eight people were killed and 14 others seriously injured when a police helicopter crashed into the roof of a packed Glasgow pub, trapping many inside in choking dust and debris, Scottish police said on Saturday,
Witnesses said the helicopter dropped from the sky like a stone onto the busy Clutha Pub in Scotland’s biggest city on Friday night while more than 100 people were crammed inside, listening to a live music concert.
The helicopter crew – two police officers and the civilian pilot – were among the dead and the others were discovered inside the wreckage of the building, Chief Constable of Police Scotland Stephen House told reporters. He said 14 others remained in hospital with serious injuries.
The 12-metre (40 foot) helicopter – a twin-engine Eurocopter EC135 T2, made by a subsidiary of EADS – spiralled into the pub in the centre of Glasgow, destroying part of the roof.
The mangled wreckage remained embedded in the middle of the building as the search continued through Saturday.
“We are still in … a rescue and recovery situation,” House said. “Until the helicopter is out of the way we won’t know what … is going on underneath.”
Immediately after the crash, revellers caked in dust and blood rushed out into the street. Passers-by including the local member of parliament formed a human chain to bring out the injured from the building.
“It was fairly busy, we were all having a nice time and then there was like a ‘whoosh’ noise,” Grace MacLean, who was in the pub at the time, told the BBC.
“There was no bang, no explosion, and then there was what seemed like smoke, and we were all joking that the band had made the roof come down, and then it started to come down more and someone started screaming, and the whole pub filled with dust and you couldn’t see anything, you couldn’t breathe.”
