Celebrity Jesus: Original Gangster Version

Hey kids: you think Catholicism is all about musty old churches and child-molesting priests? Think again, yo! Everything that you think is cool came from a man named g-o-d—including blunt-smoking gangster rapper Snoop Dogg. Deify him! But he's not the only one of you young peoples' false idols who came from the Godmeister. That's right, Sienna Miller did too! These two ads from the Australian version of Marie Claire are supposed to promote the Catholic Church's upcoming World Youth Day. 1-8-7 with a gat in your mouth, Jesus! Gaze upon the full versions of two [REAL] horrifying ideas of youth outreach: More »

Does Suge Knight Have a Reality Show or Not?

A trailer for Unfinished Business, which seems to be a reality TV show starring Death Row founder Suge Knight, is online today. It looks kind of good, with plenty of fighting, F-Bombs being dropped all over the place, and one youngster talking tough and following it up by running off in a panic. But where is this thing going to air? And when? I've watched it a few times and those little details just don't seem to exist. Trailer after the jump. More »

Ashley Alexander Dupré's "What We Want," Snoop Dogg Remix Ashley "Alexandra Dupré" "Kristen" "Google Keywords" Youmans's MySpace song got mixed with Snoop Dogg's "Sensual Seduction," and it works well, especially if you really liked Dupré's original. I smell a future Gnarls-Barkley-esque duo.

The Ultimate Analysis of Snoop's "Sensual Seduction"

"Snoop seems to have singlehandedly snatched the is-he-or-isn't-he irony confusion crown from R. Kelly," says tech exec Anil Dash, the blogger who appeared in the New York Times in a Goatse t-shirt. Dash figures that R. Kelly's "Trapped In The Closet" got boring when the artist realized the inanity of his own multi-part R&B drama. But in his 2007 song "Sensual Seduction" (or "Sexual Eruption," as Dash explains with 200 actually worthwhile words), Snoop is "both ridiculous and completely sincere." Read Dash's 8-point analysis and an examination of the breath tube, which Snoop uses instead of a vocoder or Auto-Tune. After the jump is the song itself, in the best music video ever. More »

Snoop And Larry King's Fried Chicken Date Surprisingly Charming

Larry King, the friendly bumbling TV interviewer, goes for grits and chicken wings with rapper Snoop Dogg and schools him on the specifics of an "Arnold Palmer" (no gin but a little juice). Instead of being weird/awkward, it ends up being sort of weird/awesome. Also, Snoop invents a new mocktail. More »

Jizzle Yizzle And Nizzle Shizzle Smoke Weed With Snoop Dogg At The Bowery

Speaking from experience, the life of an After Hours reporter can sometimes be tedious. There's only so much free Belvedere vodka one can drink (just kidding! There's no limit. Please drink responsibly); so long you can feign interest in the pap vaguely interesting people are feeding you; and so many canapes you can cram down your throat the whole time thinking, "Fuck, I'm going to be too drunk to have a proper dinner." Which is why Jada Yuan's job at New York magazine remains a thing to be marveled at but not envied. But then there are times when one's relentless faux-enthusiasm for all things nocturnal pays off. Like, for instance, when you are Jada Yuan and you run into Snoop Dogg at the Bowery Hotel and a swarthy Radar-employed enabler named Neel Shah convinces you it's a good idea to get high with him. And so you do. More »
