Why You Should Watch: Snoop has officially gone country! The Doggfather teams up with Willie Nelson and dedicates the video to "real American gangster" Johnny Cash. Buy on iTunes.

Snoop Dogg's wife turned the tables on her hubby when she was busted in Fullerton, California, on suspicion of driving under the influence. Orange County officers pulled over Shante Broadus' vehicle early Saturday morning and arrested the 32-year-old mother of three children. She was cited and given notice to appear in court.

Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus Jr., and Shante gave the world a look into their home with the E! reality series 'Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood.' The high school sweethearts married in 1997.

Snoop Dogg's 2006 album 'Tha Blu Carpet Treatment' has been transformed into an animated DVD dubbed ''Snoop Dogg Presents Adventures of Tha Blu Carpet Treatment, which will debut on www.codeblacktv.com on June 24.

"The movie will give you something to look at because when I was making this record I was real visual about it," Snoop said. "I had a cartoon mind while I was making it, so I just wanted to bring that to the light."

Nate Dogg, E-40, The Game, Cypress Hill's B-Real -- who all appear on the ''Blu Carpet' album -- lent their voices to the cartoon. Comedians Mike Epps and Katt Williams are also featured in the upcoming film.

"I get to be a gun-slinging cowboy with my brim on, my boots on, my jeans on, my long jacket, jumping off a horse," Snoop Dogg said when describing the video for his country-tinged new single 'My Medicine.' The rap star has officially gone country and he'll showcase his new look in the upcoming video.

The emcee took the opportunity to branch out and try a variety of sounds on his latest project, 'Ego Trippin.' Snoop teamed up with producer/rapper Shawty Redd and played with a vocoder on the album's first single 'Sensual Seduction' and covered The Time's 'Cool' for a '80s funk vibe.

"I think I have more room than ever to do as I please," Snoop said in a recent interview. "I've made so many records that were true to hip-hop, true to Snoop Dogg and true to the West Coast and gangsta rap in genre. Now it's time for me to make records that feel good to me and [to] venture out."

The Doggfather is already plotting his next project, which is tentatively entitled 'Malice in Wonderland,' which was inspired by composer Lalo Schifrin. "He conducted some music for me that was so sinister, so evil, mean and dark," Snoop explained. "I just wanted to make a record like that. That's just the way I feel."

Rocking a jheri curl, Snoop Dogg joins country music legend Willie Nelson onstage in Amsterdam for a special performance of Nelson's 'Superman.' This mishap collaboration might be a tragic case of two artists sharing the same interests, aka knowing the chief, aka loving to puff, puff pass. First Nelly and Tim McGraw [see 2004's 'Over and Over'], now this.

A British court has lifted a ban on rap star Snoop Dogg after an immigration judge backed his visa battle with UK authorities. Snoop was banned from Britain after his 2006 arrest on charges of violent disorder at London's Heathrow Airport.

The rap star appealed the ban, and in January an asylum and immigration tribunal granted him clearance to enter the country. Britain's Border Agency challenged the January decision.

According to an UK newspaper, a panel of immigration judges has officially rejected an attempt by Britain's Home Office to keep the rap star out of the country. The British government has a week to appeal the court's decision. Read the full story.

Looks like Snoop Dogg is still in the doghouse in the UK. Britain's Border Agency announced Friday that it plans on challenging a court's ruling that barred the rapper from entering the country.

Snoop was banned from Britain after his arrest on charges of violent disorder at Heathrow Airport in London in April 2006. The rap star appealed the ban, and in January an asylum and immigration tribunal allowed granted him clearance to enter the country.

Britain was the only country to banish the rapper. In April 2007, Snoop Dogg was refused entry into Australia. Obviously not a fan of the rapper's 'Doggystyle,' Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews stated that Snoop "doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country." Read the full story.

In what seems like a strange, not to mention arbitrary, move, Snoop Dogg made some scathing remarks regarding presidential candidate Barack Obama and the senator's campaign in a recent interview with the Guardian. Snoop claims Obama has received funding from the white supremacy group Ku Klux Klan.

"The KKK gave Obama money," the rapper tells the Guardian. "They was one of his biggest supporters." While there's no actual evidence to support Snoop's claim, the rap star seems to be sticking to his personal theory. "Why wouldn't they be? The media won't tell you that. They don't want you to know that. They just want you to know that this n----- befriended this other n----- who be threatening your values. But we all know all presidents lie to get into f---ing office. That's they job," the Doggfather rants.

Meanwhile, the rapper was singing a different tune when he sat down with Larry King to weigh in on the election, while promoting his family oriented reality series, 'Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood.' "I just want to see somebody win that's in the best interest for America," Snoop told King in February. "Whether it be a black man [Barack Obama] or a woman [Hillary Clinton] -- either one is a great move for America, because we need change."

In a continued effort to prove his ability to cross all musical genres [see: family-oriented reality show and upcoming animated series on Comedy Central], Snoop Dogg will hit the road with '90s alt-rockers 311 on the sixth annual Unity tour, beginning June 24 in Phoenix, wrapping up on August 3 in Austin, Texas.

In the meantime, the Doggfather will take over the fictional city of Llanview, Pennsylvania when he joins the cast of ABC's longstanding soap opera, 'One Life To Live.' The 36-year-old rapper will appear as himself in the daytime series, which will feature performances as well as a few scenes where the rapper shows off his acting skills. Snoop has also recorded a remix of the daytime drama's theme song. The episodes are set to air on May 8 and 9.

Snoop Dogg is heading to the East Coast -- to the fictional city of Llanview, Pa. -- to add some flavor to 'One Life to Live.' The 36-year-old rapper will appear as himself in the longstanding ABC soap opera, which will feature performances as well as a few scenes where the rapper shows off his acting skills. Snoop has also recorded a remix of the daytime drama's theme song. The episodes are set to air on May 8 and 9.

"I've been a fan of 'One Life to Live' since I was a baby," said Snoop, who's set to perform 'Sensual Seduction' and 'Life of Da Party,' from his new album, 'Ego Trippin.' "My mama always had it on the tube in the crib growing up. The opportunity to change up the theme song and give it some of my flavor will make the show the 'life of the party.'" Read the full story.

According to Variety, Comedy Central is developing an animated series centered around Snoop Dogg's life as a teen growing up in Long Beach, California.

"We've been looking to get into business with Snoop, who's always fantastic on our roasts," Comedy Central original programming/development president, Lauren Corrao, told Variety. "He's one of those people who truly crosses over between music and comedy."

Snoop has already had a great amount of success on the small screen, thanks to his reality series 'Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood.'
