DOGG DENIED AGAIN

Iconic US rapper Snoop Dogg has been denied entry into Australia after his recent conviction for drug and gun offences.
Speaking on Sydney radio this morning, Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews confirmed he would not be granting the 35-year-old rapper a visa to enter the country.
Dogg was due to arrive in Australia to attend this weekend's MTV Australian Video Music Awards awards, which he was to part-host.
"The reality is in relation to this man, that he was given a warning the last time, he has a whole string of convictions, and, just two weeks ago I was told he was convicted on a number of charges again and sentenced to three years' imprisonment on two, and three years' imprisonment on another, with five years' probation and a suspended sentence," Mr Andrews told 2GB.
"He has been denied entry into the United Kingdom because he was caught with others causing affray at Heathrow Airport. He doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country."
The move is sure to infuriate the tens of thousands of fans of Dogg, whose 2005 album Rhythm & Gangstas sold more than 35,000 copies in Australia.
A spokeswoman for Mr Andrews said that, when Dogg came to Australia in February, the Department of Immigration told him it was concerned about his previous convictions, and, if he was convicted of anything else, it would be taken "very seriously".
"Since that time he has been convicted of drug and firearm offences, which has effectively caused the minister to be particularly reluctant to provide a visa for him," she said.
Earlier this month the rapper pleaded no contest to felony, gun and drug charges in a US court, avoiding possible jail time.
Born Calvin Cordozar Broadus jnr in Long Beach, California, in 1971, the rapper has to date sold more than 18.5 million albums in the US. In recent years, he has become known for starring in Hollywood movies and even starting a youth football league in which his son plays.
However Dogg still causes his fair share of trouble, as seen earlier this year when he was partying at a bar after the MTV European Music Awards in Copenhagen.
Dogg demanded that the bar be emptied of men to allow more women inside. Unfortunately one of those men was Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, and when Dogg's heavies went to eject him they were confronted with the royal's armed bodyguards.
Dogg eventually realised the gravity of the situation, apologised, and the matter was smoothed over. It did not stop the police from raiding the club later, however, and leaving Dogg in a foul mood when a bag of marijuana was confiscated.
