Snoop Dogg surprised all his friends, and most of all his wife Shante, when he renewed his vows on Saturday. He told Shante, (they've been together since 8th grade,) they were going to a formal anniversary party at a friends ranch outside Los Angeles. He wore a black tux and got up in front of the crowd of 200 to toast the "anniversary couple" and instead started talking about his wife. He made a touching speech about how difficult it was to be in an entertainment marriage and how much he appreciated her. "It was so SWEET" said a witness. Then the minister walked out and he admitted it was a wedding. During the ceremony Snoop gave his wife a diamond band ring and they held hands and lit a unity candle. Snoop HAD TEARS IN HIS EYES! Afterward they had buffet dinner and Snoop walked up to every table and graciously thanked everyone for attending. It all sounds too refined to be true, but remember, TV cameras recorded it all for his show Father Hood.

Snoop Dogg got married today! Actually he renewed his vows with his wife of ten years Shante. We just wonder if the writers of his E! reality show Father Hood dreamed this up for an episode because it doesn't happen often in the world of gangsta hip hop, does it? Must be a bunch of guys from Brentwood writing the show- first David Beckham guests and now this. Anyway, the timing is right because a nine year old love child just came back to haunt Snoop and Shante couldn't be too happy about that. Most rappers would have bought their wives a diamond thingamajig but Snoop is renewing his vows!

This picture should be in the fashion hall of fame - THAT'S how much we love it. Snoop Dogg is walking around the streets of Paris looking like THIS! We haven't seen a man wearing a shower cap in public since we visited the south side of Chicago in the 1960's. In those days, black guys were apparently having their hair "conked" (chemically straightened so they could slick it back doo-wop style.) At night they dressed up in bright colored suits from Smokey Joe's on State Street and they were GORGEOUS. We doubt if Snoop is getting conked - more likely this is a fashion statement for him. Is this his hotel's shower cap? Is he on his way to get his braids redone? SO many questions. Interesting how he accessorized the plastic cap with a Vuitton bag. Paris must be abuzz.

Paris Hilton has opened up new worlds for Britney Spears and Brit is having the time of her life, while her friends and family are worried. Every since Paris latched onto the newly single Britney, Brit has been picking up her friend's sloppy habits. Night after night the girls are out boozing and partying (at Hyde, Le Deux, and all the other clubs) and it doesn't stop at closing time. The party continues at Paris's house. The urban crowd - including Suge Knight and Snoop Dogg - packs Paris house all night and the music is driving neighbors mad. Typically, Britney ends up crashing at Paris's place and wearing the same clothes the next day. And Britney is starting to dress like Paris - flashier and with no underwear! In contrast - her estranged husband Kevin Federline seems to be without credit cards or liquid assets, and he's NOT thrilled. You're right Britney, having a good time IS the best revenge, but don't fall off the cliff!

Maybe Paris Hilton isn't sure who he is, but even the most jaded Hollywood trendoids at the Skybar at the Mondrian hotel were impressed to to find themselves in the same place with U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair August 1st. "He had about ten bodyguards but he was very friendly and chatty and seemed like he was having a great time. He was introduced to Snoop Dogg but they didn't seem to have much to talk about!" said an eyewitness. A cute young girl with cell phone in hand asked Snoop if he'd please say hello to her sister because it was her birthday - but Snoop could NOT be bothered. The daring girl managed to dodge the Prime Minister's guards and asked HIM if he'd say happy birthday to her sister on the phone. The well-mannered Blair not only obliged, but he had a ten minute chat with the thrilled sister.
