There are certain moments in daytime television that one must witness for himself to truly grasp the magnitutde; Snoop Dogg's appearance on Martha Stewart's show is one of those moments. The rapper lurched onto the set yesterday as Martha described herself as "a homegirl from New Jersey" and then asked him — likely in all seriousness — if he can spell. Can these two get their own show instead of that Shot at Love rubbish?
Last night's TRL finale wasn't quite the circus it proved to be back in its heyday, mainly because the show has been trying way too hard since before Britney Spears took her tumble. Regardless, some of the show's most successful graduates showed up to pay tribute to arguably the best thing MTV ever produced. Tons of photos after the jump. CONTINUED »
Lovable Crip Snoop Doggy Dogg's tour bus was pulled over in famously rapper-friendly Texas yesterday, and you won't believe what police found: weed! During the course of what was supposed to be a citation for expired tags, two of Mr Doggy Dogg's entourage, Ethan Calhoun, 27, and Kevin Barkey, 26, were arrested after they admitted to having one ounce each of marijuana, which police had smelled.
Snoop, who is absolutely hilarious for surrounding himself with people named "Barkey," was not charged.
I performed at a bar mitzvah. And I'm telling you, man, these little motherfuckers, they were singing my shit, they was cussin', they were singing the dirty version. I'm talking about twelve- and thirteen-year-old little white kids singin' this real gangsta shit. Man. I was shocked. I just gave them the mic and let them motherfuckers go.
Seriously, who told Snoop Dogg it would be a good idea to venture onto the country scene? After getting all gussied up in his best cowboy gear for the CMT awards, Snoop continued his assault on the genre by making this lovely video — featuring Willie Nelson — titled "My Medicine." And yes, it means exactly what you think it means.
Pete Wentz's latest venture, FNMTV, was tainted by Ashlee Simpson and Snoop Dogg in a hilarious sketch where Snoop gives the couple parenting tips. Oh, did we say "hilarious"? We meant "uncomfortable." Or, you know, any other adjective that comes to mind when you think of a root canal.
Yesterday 70 musicians gathered at Grand Central Station in the hope of becoming one of 20 new, New York City-certified subway buskers. Certified buskers, unlike all the other ambitious but uncredentialed musicians playing in New York's guts, get placed at the most lucrative spots in the subways, places where tourists gather and stand right in your goddamn way to hear "Hey Jude" for the 200,000th time.
As usual, The New York Times covered this story rather inelegantly, focusing their video attention on a guy who calls his music "retro acoustic rock," and thus not giving any coverage to Kip Rosser, who played Duke Ellington covers on a theramin. Nice one, Times.
Balla Tounkara, a talented Malian player of the traditional instrument the kora who was briefly highlighted, told the paper: "You can do O.K. in the subway with tips, but it’s still very tough to make it here as a musician, unless you’re a big star like Snoop Doggie." So, that's pretty depressing. Good morning.
SNOOP IS ON SOMETHING "Yes, folks, it’s true: Lindsay Lohan is busy recording her third album. … I am told that among her collaborators is Snoop Dogg, who’s cut a track with Lindsay that insiders say sounds 'amazing.'"

Snoop Dogg, seen here looking like a little boy who snuck into his father's closet and tried on his 10-sizes-too-large clothes, was a presenter at last night's CMT Music Awards. Yes, that involves country music. Seems Nashville is not above desperate stunt casting.

Marijuana induces paranoia. If you feel that you need anymore evidence to support that claim, read The Guardian's new interview with Snoop, in which he not only makes himself look like an ignorant wacko, but Barack Obama — whom he refers to as "that muthafucker" — also. (emphasis ours)

Such delicate limbs on such a "gangsta" rapper! How do you lift that nine, friend?
Every week, a bunch of “real” people say really stupid things on reality TV. These are their stories.
10. "If you was like me when I was in school, there was all love. I'd walk in, they'd be like, 'What's happening? Woot woot. Woot woot woot woot.'" — Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg's Father Hood
