Snoop Dogg is rumored to be worth over 200 million dollars, but he ‘s not about to give up his gangster image onstage. Here he is performing in Liverpool wearing a Dickies industrial polyester suit and sunglasses. The Suit costs around $55 and it’s the fashion choice of LA gang members. We fondly remember the day Snoop puzzled Parisians when he wore a shower cap outside his hotel in Paris.
Snoop Dogg is in the UK promoting his album “Doggumentary,” and he held his press conference at Platinum Lace – a strip club in London. In 2006, Snoop was banned from entering the UK because his entourage got into a brawl with security guards at Heathrow airport, but he has since been reinstated. Snoop announced that he is working on putting together a TV show directed at the hood- to give kids with talent but no money, a chance. He also remarked that he’d like to open a chain of grocery stores called “Snoopermarkets.” He’s more ambitious that we realized…
Kim Kardashian’s half-sister Kendall, 15, not only has a modeling career on the fast track, but she seems to have found a boyfriend who’s from a famous family also. According to MediaTakeOut, Kendall and Snoop Dogg’s 16 year old son Corde Broadus, (also a model) struck up a conversation at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. They exchanged numbers and started texting and have since had a few dates. Next thing you know, Kris Jenner will be publicizing the teen romance!
Snoop Dogg has a new obsession – Charlie Sheen. His friends were amazed when Snoop became fascinated by Charlie as soon as they met, and insisted Charlie come along and hang out with him at Trousdale where he was set to perform. The two guys only had eyes for each other in a private back room. They puffed some weed and talked endlessly – not about drugs- but about politics, war, California laws, unemployment etc. Snoop was SO into Charlie he had to be dragged onstage to sing. The two have become best buddies. It’s nice to know Charlie has a friend. Since Charlie bombed in his first show in Detroit, we’re betting Snoop will fly in and bail him out ASAP.

It’s funny that two of the men least likely to go to the gym are wearing track suits in New York. (Are track suits to the 2000’s what polyester leisure suits were to the 1970’s?) Casually clad Snoop Dogg ran into equally casual Russell Crowe outside the Letterman show – he’s promoting his new album Doggumentary Music. Snoop’s black socks and slides are especially amusing. Whether either of them appeared on the show dressed like this is not known.
Our source at the last Lakers game was surprised to see Hilary Swank and Snoop Dogg deep in conversation at every opportunity. Hilary’s boyfriend John Campisi (in the middle) finally switched seats with Hilary so she wouldn’t be talking to Snoop over his head. When they weren’t chatting, they were grooving to the music in unison.
Speaking of weight, Snoop Dogg could gain or lose fifty pounds and no one would ever notice because he wears such gigantic clothes. He generally looks like a huge person with a little head. In fact, he says he DID gain about thirty pounds not long ago, but no one noticed. He’ll never be accused of having an eating disorder. Snoop showed up at Larry King’s fundraiser for Haiti last night.
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.
