Snoop Dogg … oh, excuse us … Calvin Broadus rang the opening bell Monday morning (Nov 16) at the NY Stock Exchange in New York City. With his pimp suit on and everythang!

He was a panelist at New York’s Global Entrepreneurship Week, which is part of the 2nd annual “Mentoring Madness,” an organized event that focuses on mentoring young entrepreneurs and exposing them to the business world. During the panel discussion, the 38-year-old rapper dropped some knowledge on the young people in the audience.

“If you stop at general math, you’re only going to make general math money,” he said.

And the former Crip gang member isn’t just talking to hear himself speak. Home boy knows what he’s talking about. He reportedly excelled in Calculus while in high school.

Rappers Snoop Dogg and Soulja Boy are homies now! Here are some pics of the dapper duo, suited up, on the set of Soulja Boy’s new music video for “Pronto,” a song from DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz: Follow Me mixtape. Mr. Tell ‘Em will also be featured on a track from the Doggfather’s forthcoming Malice In Wonderland album.

Rapper/producer Snoop Dogg gave fans in New York City a taste of his new album when he performed live on stage at the Nokia Theater Thursday night (Oct 29) as a part of his “Wonderland High School Tour.”

Accompanied by back-up dancers, an electric guitar, and an turntable, Snoop’s energy spread over the room like smoke, with goodies “The Next Episode,” “P.I.M.P.,” and “Gangsta Luv,” a joint off his new album, Malice N Wonderland. “New York, New York” had the crowd high, but it was The Lady of Rage, with her puffy hair in tow, that really awakened the audience. She blasted off “Afro Puffs” spitting, “I rock rough and stuff with my afro puffs.” She elicited the encouraging chant, “Hey, rock on wit cha bad self!”

Snoop Dogg

The rapper, who has starred in movies including Bones and Hood of Horror, professes his love for the hit drama in the lyrics of his new single Gangsta Luv, and now he’s hoping producers and casting agents can find him a part in the series, starring Anna Paquin and her real-life fiance Stephen Moyer. He says, “You know I’m down with it. I love that show. I wish I could be on it. I’d be a hell of a vampire, don’t you think? So what’s happening True Blood, get at me – Snoop Dogg wants to be a vampire”

Michael Jackson’s three children, Prince Michael (12), Paris (11) and Prince Michael aka “Blanket” (7) were not inside the vehicle that was involved in an accident in Los Angeles Wednesday afternoon (Oct 21). Reports previously stated that the kids were on their way to a Karate class when the car they were riding in was rear-ended by a thirsty paparazzo.

But after further investigation, the LAPD are saying that the car that was hit was a security vehicle, and not the car the Jackson kids were in. The unidentified photographer who rear-ended the Jackson security car was charged after he reportedly fled the scene without exchanging insurance information. He was charged with a hit-and-run misdemeanor.

The damage done to the security vehicle was reported to be minor and the kids’ grandfather Joe Jackson told reporters that the kids and his wife Katherine, who was also in the vehicle, were okay.

Rapper Snoop Dogg was spotted by photographers as he got cozy with an unidentified female who we know is NOT his wife and mother of his children, Shante Broadus, in the VIP section at a club in St. Tropez Friday night (Aug 21).

But we’re almost positive that this is the norm and Mrs. Broadus just doesn’t care since she and Snoop most likely have what we call an “open relationship.” As long as he’s bringing the money (and the “D”) home … wifey’s all good! That’s just how it works…

A soon-to-be single Usher was also at the club getting his swerve on with his boy Snoop.

Rapper Snoop Dogg took the stage at the Kandy Vegas lingerie party at the Palms Casino Resort Sunday (Jul 26) in Las Vegas.

In related news, Grammy Award winning soul singer Anita Baker has tapped the Doggfather for a collaboration for her upcoming Live DVD Project. She told Billboard that Snoop is working on an adaptation of Curtis Mayfield’s “Give Me Your Love (Love Song).”

“It’s lovely — who knew that Snoop is madly in love with his wife, you know? We’ve got a chance to see that in the way his music has grown, so when he comes in to do dialogue over that love theme, it becomes very grown up and contemporary at the same time.”

Here Jamie Foxx can be seen paying tribute to Michael Jackson (comedically, of course) as the host of the 2009 BET Awards, which aired live from Los Angeles Sunday night (Jun 28) on BET. Jamie Foxx is probably one of the few people who can make light of a sad situation and have everyone laughing and crying at the same time. The BET Awards was supposed to dedicate the entire show to Michael, per the press release sent out Friday, but failed to impress.

The show itself was pretty good, but they should have never mentioned dedicating the show to MIchael if they didn’t have the time to do it right. That said, we really hope they put together an entire special to honor the late King of Pop so they can at least try to save face. But for now, continue reading for photos of Soulja Boy, Jay-Z, Monica, Beyonce, Ne-Yo and many more celebrities who participated in this year’s BET Awards.

In the wake of Michael Jackson’s shocking and equally heartbreaking death, everyone who’s anybody has spoken up to tell the world what Michael Jackson and his legacy meant to them. This just goes to show the magnitude of the impact he had (and will continue to have, even in his death) on the entertainment industry as a whole. Throughout the day, we will be posting official statements reflecting on the King of Pop’s legacy from the biggest names in music and entertainment. Stay tuned!

Lil Wayne: “I personally can’t believe it. But it’s more unfortunate for the world of music. … My love goes out to his family. … A sad day in history, not [just] music.”

Snoop Dogg: “I feel like his music will never die and his spirit will never die, because he influenced so many if us. He gave us a lot of hope that we feel like we can be big. He was very inspiring and up close and personal with his fans. That to me was special. That’s one of the things that I loved about Mike. When I got a chance to meet him, that’s the feeling and spirit that I got from him.”

Despite the fact that being immortalized in wax is a pretty big honor, we’re almost sure Snoop Dogg was a tad creeped out when he saw a life-sized wax model of himself Monday at the unveiling of his new wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas, NV. The rapper posed for photos with the figure, which has his look down to a T with the cornrows, the gear and his famous stance. They even have the wax figure throwing up gang sings with a crip flag in its black pocket! Continue reading for a couple more pics.

Snoop Dogg is going to become the first living rapper ever to be immortalized in wax for Madame Tussauds famous wax museum. He’ll be the third rapper on display at the museum in Los Angeles, and his figure will be unveiled sometime Monday, April 20th. The figure will stand in the “On Stage” area and he’ll be the third rap icon on display, joining the likes of the late Tupac Shakur. The statue reportedly will be worth $300,000 and he’ll be rocking his trademark cornrows.

“Fa shizzle dizzle I said yes when asked,” the rapper tells PEOPLE. “I’m honored! The D O double G got a double. It’s real to be immortalized [in wax] in the ranks with President Barack Obama,” he said.

New reports are suggesting that singer Amy Winehouse and rapper Snoop Dogg sketched out a couple of tracks together back in 2008! But we hear they couldn’t finish them because they took way too many breaks to smoke weed and were way too high to finish what they got started…

A source tells Britain’s The Sun, “Amy came to the studio buzzing with ideas and the pair got on really well, even though Snoop turned up in his dressing gown with slippers on, which had Amy giggling. They were working at a frenetic pace at first but as the day wore on and more smoke breaks took place, the work rate slackened. By the time their studio time ended they had a pair of tracks sketched out but no finished product.”

Since Amy is in all this legal trouble (Google her, baby!), getting her hands on a visa to come back to the states to finish up the tracks will be damn near impossible. And isn’t Snoop banned from the UK or something like that?

“Of course, the CHP rumors are absolutely not true, totally ridiculous, and most of all hurtful to Snoop Dogg and his family. Snoop, Shante and their family are all alive and well – we appreciate the fans concerns for their safety. Anything said or reported on regarding the death of Shante Broadus is totally false.”

People are sick these days…

Rapper Snoop Dogg surprised the world by announcing to the BBC Sunday that he was a member of the Nation of Islam. The “Doggfather” made the announcement at the annual Saviours’ Day event in Chicago after listening to a message from Louis Farakkhan, leader of the Nation of Islam. Snoop told reporters that in becoming a Muslim, he feels as if  he was “doing what’s right and representing what’s right.”

“I’m an advocate for peace, I’ve been in the peace movement ever since I’ve been making music. My whole thing is not about really trying to push my thing on you. It’s just about the way I live, and I live how I’m supposed to live as far as doing what’s right and representing what’s right – that’s why I was here today.”

Other celebrities who are members of the Nation of Islam include rapper/actor Ice Cube and boxing legend Muhammad Ali. We’re all for people finding “spiritual enlightenment” or whatever, but you have to admit … hearing about Snoop Dogg becoming a Muslism is completely RANDOM!

Catch Snoop on his new MTV series, Dogg After Dark, Tuesday nights at 9 PM Eastern.
