Snoop Dogg has "pissed" a New Orleans bar and its collegiate clients on Saturday when he failed to show up at the planned party. The star rapper was supposed to perform at the bar's afterparty for the NBA All-Star Weekend festivities.

"We got stood up so bad!" an employee of the bar tells OK! magazine. "We charged $15 a person and the line was out the door waiting to get in."

Snoop Dogg gave up the "girls and nightlife" of Hollywood after realising the value of his family.

The rapper-and-actor, who is about to star with his wife and children in new reality TV show "Father Hood", has confessed three years ago he almost left spouse Shante for a life of wild partying, until he came to appreciate his "irreplaceable" home life.

Snoop Dogg won't let his daughter date until she is 77.

The 36-year-old rapper is so protective of eight-year-old Cori - his only daughter with wife Shante Broadus - he insists she remains single until she is way into old age.

David Beckham and Snoop Dogg are set to make a Hollywood movie.

The pair - who have been firm friends for years and have frequently partied in Los Angeles since David moved there this summer - are hoping to finance their own big screen project.
