Snoop

Can you imagine being banned from a country? That's so hard-core. I think I'm banned for life from some bar in Phoenix or Scottsdale....or wait! No, it's Sioux City. Sioux City, Iowa!

Oh yeah and...all of my real life friends should stop reading here because I'm going to mention something you've all had to endure hearing way too many times....

I went to highschool with Kenny (McKinley, now Malik) Lee who was the bodyguard that went on trial with Snoop for that shooting back in the 90's. We were really good friends, I swear! And when he wrote a book called "My Life Inside Death Row Records" he had a chapter about our hometown. In it, he talked alot about hanging out on "The Avenue" (my street) with his "homies!" He was always hanging out at my house so I'm pretty sure he's talking about me!!

Man, I guess I'm hard-core after all. lol

Snoop Dogg has moved a step closer to re-gaining entry to the U.K. after a second senior immigration judge backed his visa battle with authorities.

The star - real name Calvin Broadus Jr. - was prohibited from entering the country after he was involved in a brawl at Heathrow Airport in April 2006.

The ruling was overturned earlier this year (Jan08) by immigration judge Nehar Bird who found there was no evidence the star had been responsible for any public disorder.

Britain’s Border Agency challenged the decision, but was overruled on Wednesday (23Apr08) when a senior immigration judge George Warr said he did not find that Judge Bird had overlooked evidence or made a material error of law.

Broadus’ lawyer, Phillip Trott says he is pleased with the decision, but has deemed the court process a waste of time.

He says, “It has been an appalling waste of public money to pursue this man. It is outrageous that the government is trying to exclude someone who is an innocent figure and has frequently spoken against gang culture and youths carrying guns.”

The Home Office has until 30 April (08) to decided whether to appeal. A spokeswoman said it would be inappropriate to comment before then. (Source: Showbiz Spy)
