Larry King stepped away from the dinosaur rodeo to pose for a pic with the original gangsta before uploading it to his brilliant Twitter account. In related news, is Larry King already dead?
Music Buzz According to various sources, Snoop Dogg has changed his name to 'Niggarachi' in order to celebrate (promote?) his new album 'Baac To That Chuuch Vol. 1' (Yes, that's really the name.) Unlike the 'Artist Formally Known As Prince', this new name has letters, but still might be unpronounceable…depending who you are.
Music Buzz The second man on the moon jams with Snoop Dogg and weighs in on the Auto-Tune debate. (Buzz is a good sport and everything, but Talib Kweli really steals this video. Someone cast him in a Christopher Guest movie stat.)
Celebrity Buzz Diddy did it first, now Snoop is getting into the UStream game. The rapper smokes a blunt and plays some of his favorite tracks while thousands of his Twitter followers look on. It's like hosting Snoop in your own living room — just make sure to spray a little Febreze before your parents get home.
Paris, at her most flirtatious/drunk, spits some freestyle rhymes in signature baby voice for Snoop Dogg, who seals the deal with his own woozy, creepy lyrical prowess. In her defense, Paris Hilton almost rhymes, which means that, one day, maybe she'll learn how to write a limerick. Baby steps, you guys, baby steps.
Snoop Dogg shows Martha how to make his famous “Cognac Mashed Potatoes.” This is kind of endearing, like in any scene in any Wayans Brothers' movie when old white people try to talk all ghetto.
Music Buzz Snoop Dogg makes his country debut collaborating with Willie Nelson on a song about smoking weed. One love! This song is a message that smoking pot makes us forget our cultural differences (and other stuff, too).
Somehow, Snoop Dogg repertoire gets weirder (and, consequently, more awesome) with this country-inspired ode to Johnny Cash. At this rate, Snoop’s entrance into experimental territory might make him the next Bjork. With braids. And weed. And songs about ladies’ butts.
Music Buzz The late-nineties pop star has made a stateside return with her self-titled album. Robyn’s welcome return completely validates the hardened drool that’s lined the keyboards of American indie music bloggers for the past several years. Considered “the Madonna of Sweden,” Robyn has reinvented herself as a synth-heavy, electro pop superhero on her own label after rejecting the demands of industry execs. Needless to say, she’s quickly grown out of her “VH-1 phase.”
