Well the UK is doing it again. After Snoop won two appeals in the UK, their Border Agency is trying to ban him from entering the country again. A new application to the court of appeals was submitted to reconsider the case against big Snoop Dogg. Snoop was originally banned when his entourage was involved in a fight with security gaurds in London's airport. Snoop won an appeal that showed he complied with the guards and that security actually escalated the situation themselves. A video tape showed Snoop Dogg wasn't responsible for any disorder and he didn't initiate it.
The board agency said "We maintain that the Immigration Judge in the initial hearing made a material error in law,” a rep said continuing, “There has been no change in the facts that led to Mr Broadus being denied a visa. We stand by that initial decision. We will continue to oppose the entry to the UK of individuals where we believe there may be a risk to the public."

As we previously reported, Lil Kim had repo men attempt to repossess her Bently recently. The repo men told the local news that the car was 4-5 months behind on payments. Lil Kims reps replied by telling the press that the Bently was a gift and it had nothing to do with Lil Kim's finances.
That left the question, who gave the Bently to Lil Kim as a gift? Many sources are now reporting that the hit producer Scott Storch gave Lil Kim the Bently four years ago when the two were involved in a relationship. Scott Storch's financial problems have been well documented. He recently put his $20 million dollar yacht on ebay for $600,000 [read here]. Storch then lost a $500,000 lawsuit to a man who loaned him money to prevent his house from entering forclosure [read here].
More information Im sure will continue to come on this story, stay tuned.

Well we decided to wait to post this story until there was at least some creditable evidence and now The New York Post is now confirming the story. According to the newspaper, Mariah Carey got married to Nick Cannon, after only dating him for one month. Apparently Mariah and Nick got hitched recently at Mariah’s new home she recently purchased on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas.
This is Mariah’s second marriage after being tied with record industry mogul Tommy Mottola. Nick Cannon was previously engaged to Victoria Secret model Selita Ebanks. “There was no pre-nup, there wasn’t time” a source told the post. Guests at the wedding included Mariah’s long time friend Da Brat.
Ah the times and tales of being a star.

As we reported yesterday, Lil Kim recently had her Bently almost repossessed. Now Lil Kim is replying to the news stories. A rep for Kim said that “The car was a gift, given four years ago. This matter is currently being resolved and is completely out of Kim's hands.” Lil Kim's rep says her financial status is not an issue as suggested by news reports by local station CW11.
The reports suggested that Lil’ Kim was experiencing financial difficulty, as were other
individuals in the news segment. The report said vehicle repossessions
are “surging” amid a looming recession in the United States. Lil Kim replied to attempts to get comment by saying “Oh please. Get the f**k out of here. You are so f***in’ ridiculous." They didn’t get the automobile.

After releasing "911 Is A Joke" [listen here], The Game hit the radio waves yesterday to talk about how people in L.A. would have reacted differently to the verdict, compared to that of New Yorkers. "Man if that happened in L.A., do you know you could see smoke form the
hills," he asked. "You look into the city, you'd see smoke and
everything would be on fire. I don't know why New York is so quiet and
I don't know if New York being quiet isn't the right thing to do."
Game went on to say he wanted to get other rappers to join him on his "911" song and how he has been in talks with Reverend Al Sharpton. "The hip-hop community right now is like we straight up pussies, man,"
the rapper said. "I reached out to a couple of artists and told them
what I was gonna do and n*ggas ain't want no part of it." Game wouldn't name the artists that declined, only calling them, "some non-active n*ggas."
Game talked about his controversial song saying "I'm pretty sure that people are gon' do whatever they can to keep this
song from circulating and keep it off my album," he said on Sirius
Satellite Radio. "The government or whoever is
probably gon' have people on the Internet taking this song off the
Internet. It's gon' be black ninjas swingin thru trees at night at my
house."
