Well it just goes to show - you can have it all but it won't get you into England. Especially if you're a very tall somewhat gangly rapper who named yourself after Charlie Brown's puppy.
Snoop Dogg, the world's favourite rapper that's shaped a little like the curvy neck of a camel, has fallen on hard times. England has had it with his guff you see, and it doesn't want him - they just refused him a visa to prove it.
But the Dee Oh Double-Gee won't give up that easily because he and England have had a wonderful past together, and dang it all if Snoop doesn't think they could find that happiness again. He wants to walk down the Thames again holding hands and popping caps in pigeons, he wants to stand arm in arm pointing at Big Ben and smiling because he knows he just bought it like two minutes ago or something. Most importantly though, Snoop wants to get into England to play a concert later today.
A music concert.
We all know what the best YouTube videos are - they're either videos of a) angry German children, b) idiots ghostriding the whip or c) clips of The Colbert Report before Comedy Central removes them - notice an absence of hugging in that list?
Hugging is apparently big on the internet. So big, in fact, that when YouTube decided to run an inaugural awards ceremony to find the best videos submitted to it, the winner of the YouTube award for 'inspiration' turned out to be Free Hugs, a video of a slightly creepy Australian man hugging a selection of strangers while a piece of music that sounds as if it was specifically designed to soundtrack an emotional episode of Dawson's Creek plays in the background. But perhaps Free Hugs does deserve to win a YouTube award for inspiration, because it has single-handedly inspired us to exclusively use Metacafe from now on.
In Everybody Panic, you ...
There's not a lot that we want in a music video - sexy girls dancing, dazzling choreography, expensive locations, that sort of thing. Failing that, though, we'd be just as happy to watch members of a band punching each other on the arm as hard as they can.
And that's pretty much what I Want A Better Life by
...It's often easy to take a side in other people's arguments, but that's because the other people arguing don't tend to be Charlotte Church and Scooch - frankly a fight between Charlotte Church and Scooch is a fight with no winners, including you.
For some ungodly reason that we really aren't too aware of, Charlotte Church has 'sensationally' hit out at UK Eurovision 2007 representatives Scooch, and Scooch have 'sensationally' hit back at Charlotte Church. Chances are that you, like us, are guessing that this Charlotte Church/ Scooch brawl basically consists of each party furiously claiming that they're crappier and generally more annoying than anyone else, but you're wrong - the real beef between Charlotte Church and Scooch is, well, crappier and generally more annoying.
Good old Angelina Jolie - most people wouldn't have time for anything else between making films that aren't as good as you'd imagine them to be and letting Brad Pitt stroke their arm sometimes, but Angelina Jolie manages to make room for adopting.
So far Angelina Jolie has adopted a boy from Cambodia, a girl from Ethiopia, a boy from Vietnam and a girl that she technically gave birth to but then legally divorced and adopted. But is adopting four children enough for Angelina Jolie? Never. It won't be long before Angelina Jolie is adopting again, and we want to make sure you earn some money out of it with our Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds.
So following yesterday's Angelina Jolie betting odds for Wales and the UK, here are today's Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds - for the USA and Iraq - with help from Paddy Power...
Britney Spears has been out of rehab for a little while now, and she's slowly starting to readjust to a normal routine at a normal rhythm, doing normal things like smashing up her teeth and creating normal amounts of frantic paparazzi activity for it.
The paparazzi are now coiled so tightly on the off-chance that Britney Spears is going to do something very stupid to herself now she's no longer in rehab that even something as innocuous and Britney Spears breaking a tooth and going to the dentist was warped out of all recognition by the excitable flurry of paparazzi noise. Britney Spears is in ER, the rumours went, or Britney Spears has taken an overdose. In actual fact Britney Spears had just hurt herself in her mouth a bit. But that's still more or less interesting enough to warrant us telling you about it, right? Hello?
It's been a long time coming, but the cause of Anna Nicole Smith's premature death in February has finally been revealed - far from the Howard K Stern-assisted death that many suspected, an accidental drug overdose seems to have done her in.
At a news conference today, Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger confirmed that there was no foul play involved in the death of Anna Nicole Smith, and also made it clear that Howard K Stern will not face any kind of prosecution. Following this announcement Dr Joshua Perper, the Medical Examiner for Broward County, went into more details about what kind of accidental drug overdose Anna Nicole Smith by basically listing different types of prescription drugs for about twenty minutes.
