• #TheDress – Officemates, roommates, classmates clashed last weekend over the color of a dress. The picture of the lace dress, which was originally posted by a Tumblr user, appeared as blue and black to some individuals, and white and gold to others. In reality, the dress was actually blue and black, but due to the picture that circulated being taken with a low quality cellphone camera, the photo appeared different colors depending on the set of eyes.

• #RihannaAndLeo – Hollywood may have a new ‘it’ couple. Pop sensation Rihanna and Academy Award nominated actor Leonardo DiCaprio have been spotted out several times together. DiCaprio recently threw Rihanna a birthday party. Pictures from the event have circulated online.

• #DRose – Chicago’s very own Derrick Rose injured his knee last week. This is the third time the point guard has injured his knee. While Chicago fans were upset to see that their star player had yet again been injured, Rose has underwent knee surgery and is expected to be able to play again in four to six weeks.

• #TamirRice – The city of Cleveland suggested the death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-boy shot to death by police in November, was the fault of Rice’s parents and Rice himself. The video of Rice’s death went viral in November, due to the fact he was playing with a toy gun. Rice’s parents have been criticized for letting their child play in the park alone.
