I don’t know if you know this, but Snoop Dogg was not born with that name. His real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. In fact, he is not the only Hip Hop artist to go by a different moniker than the one their parents gave them.
Yesterday on Jeopardy, they wanted to see how well the contestants knew five singers real names, so they created a category with just that question. How well did they do? Let’s just they are a lot hipper than I am.
However, if they really wanted to make things really difficult they could have made the contestants try to guess their real names as compared to their stage ones. Then we would have gotten the same score! A big fat -6,000.
Two of the biggest West Coast Rappers are working on a project together on the East Coast. Ice T revealed today that Snoop Dogg is guest starring on an upcoming episode of Law & Order: SVU. Ice T did not say if Snoop is a good guy or a bad one on the NBC procedural, but he says it is titled Diss. I am sure it will be the shiznit and nothing to diss.
It is amazing that the two men, who have had their run-ins with the law, are working on a cop show. The irony is not lost on me. It also shows people do change.
It just dawned on me, when I was trying to figure out if they worked together before, that I interviewed both of them on the red carpet for Flavor Flav’s Comedy Central Roast.

Suge Knight recently hinted to Ice-T during an investigative television report that he thinks that Tupac Shakur might still be alive. Steve Harvey wanted to know if Snoop Dogg feels the same way, so the host asked the rapper about it on his talk show today. Snoop told him with a chuckle, “That’s good TV!” Then he got serious and said, “You know, my homeboy, he rest in peace…You got to understand when Gd takes you home, he takes you home and that is where you are.”
If Tupac were still alive, I think Snoop would know over Suge. Don’t you agree? Do you think 2pac is with us or is he with Gd?

Remember that sexy scene between Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in Ghost when the pottery was not the only thing to get a rise? Well, Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg recreate that scene to promote the second season of Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party on VH-1 and you will never watch the inspiration for this promo the same way. That and you will be craving sex, pot and chocolate cake after watching it, which is a good thing if you have all three handy. If you do not, then catch up on their show on the VH1.com or the app and that will help satisfy your longings.
Snoop Dogg threw the first pitch at the San Diego Padres game yesterday and it was just like him, high. I guess you can’t teach old doggs new tricks, like how to throw a ball since they are so used to catching. Seriously, has anyone seen a dogg pitch before this? I think not.
Now some say, Snoop’s pitch was worse than 50 Cent’s and I disagree. Snoop’s was more on the money.
Hey networks, I got a brilliant reality show, forget Lip Sync Battle, let’s do First Pitch Battle. The first one to get the baseball into the Catcher’s mitt wins! Although that show might go on for weeks if it between Fiddy and Snoop!
