So Castro resigned earlier in the week and guess who was named president of Cuba on Sunday? Yep, the other Castro. Surprise. The Academy Awards also took place on Sunday, you know that ceremony were they give away the highly coveted statuette called the Oscar. But on to what people actually did this weekend: Jose El Rey gave a concert, ambitious cheerleaders practiced in preparation for the Dolphins cheerleader auditions, and models played volleyball.

Jose El Rey gave a trademark 30-minute show at Poplife Sunday. Leaving fans craving more.
