Snoop Lion Wants Gay Marriage Equality
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
Snoop Lion has "no issues" with gay marriage. The rapper spoke in favor of equality as the US Supreme Court debates California's ban on same-sex weddings, adding people should be free to do "as they please."
"People can do what they want and as they please ... Satisfy yourself accordingly. I have no issues with nobody, I live for me and I live my life doing what I do, so you should have the right to do whatever you want to do," he told The Huffington Post.
The 41-year-old musician - who embraced Rastafarianism and changed is name from Snoop Dogg last year - is one of a number of celebrities opposing the ban and hoping for it to be overturned. Seth MacFarlane wrote to his Twitter followers on Tuesday, "Supreme Court, stop acting like cowards. Now IS the time for a broad ruling to make the leap into the 20th century. --Sincerely, the 21st."
Snoop also spoke of his new culture, revealing he was "never nervous" about his time in Jamaica: "I'm never nervous. Always ready. Stay ready so I don't have to get ready. 'Nervous' has never been one of my traits. I like to be prepared and go do what I have to do. I love meeting pressure with performance."

Snoop Dogg Detained For Marijuana Possession
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Legal Issues,
The "Drop it Like it's Hot" hitmaker reportedly arrived at Kjevic Airport in Kristiansand with the drugs, which were detected by a sniffer dog, and 224,500 kroner ($75,300) in cash, which is 196,000 kroner ($33,300) above the legal limit.
A customs official said the rapper was fined 52,000 kroner ($8,800) for the violations, and local laws state people carrying anything less than 15 grammes is merely punishable by a fine. Snoop - whose real name is Calvin Broadus - was in the country to perform at the Hove festival last night in the southern town of Kristiansand.
But it's not the first time this year that the 40-year-old rapper has been busted for drugs: he was arrested at Sierra Blanca, Texas in January at a border control checkpoint - the same one where country singer Willie Nelson was busted in 2010 - when a sniffer dog found marijuana on his tour bus.

Snoop Dogg: From Rapper to Vampire?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television,
Snoop Dogg wants to be a vampire. The “Gangsta Luv” rapper is a huge fan of True Blood and is keen to land a role on the hit US TV horror series.
“I love that show. I wish I could be on it. I’d be a hell of a vampire, don’t you think?” he said. “So what’s happenin’? True Blood, get at me - Snoop Dogg wants to be a vampire.”
The occasional actor is so eager to appear on the HBO program, he has even paid tribute to it on his new song “Gangsta Luv” - the first single from his upcoming album Malice N Wonderland. In it, he raps: “Everyday is the same thang, I creep in/ It’s like True Blood, I sink my teeth in/ I gotta have it.”
Snoop isn’t the only star to recently confess an interest in undead blood-sucking creatures. Talking about her favorite type of movie, Katie Holmes said: “It can be any genre. I even like vampire movies - they just have to be well done. I want to believe in the characters. The minute it starts to feel not real, I’m not interested.”
Wrestlemania XXIV to Be a Star-Studded Event

When did wrestling become so hip?
Okay - I admittedly am not a fan of the ‘sport’, so when I hear something related to the letters WWE, I usually flip the channel. But when the topic starts invading shows like Project Runway, you kind of have to take notice.
While I don’t find it surprising that Snoop Dogg and Dancing with the Stars’ Floyd Mayweather have been linked to this year’s Wrestlemania event, others names seem a bit out of place.
First off, John Legend is scheduled to perform during the March 30 Wrestlemania XXIV spectacular in Orlando. The R&B singer, yes R&B, will get the program started with his rendition of “America the Beautiful.” Then there’s Raven-Symone. The Disney Channel star will host a ‘wish-granting event’ during that same weekend.
Disney and wrestling? When did I become so uncool?
