Snoop Dogg Banned from Australia


It looks like England isn’t the only place where Snoop Dogg is having visa problems. He can now add Australia to the list of countries who don’t want him. The rapper was refused permission to even apply for a visa to Australia back in 2007 because of his criminal records. Immigration officials recently cleared the way for an October tour visit until a bunch of public complaints came in. A senior immigration official said that “as a result of public concern and interest” the immigration authority will be taking a “more thorough assessment” of Snoop’s character. It looks like Australia’s going to be crossed off his world tour list.

The last of George Michael


George Michael performed his so-called last ever concert at Earl’s Court in London last week. Now where have I heard that before? We all know that these last ever things don’t really last. Just look at Cher! And besides, who the heck holds their last ever concert on a Monday night?! A weekend show would have been more believable. I’m willing to start a bet that he’s going to end up with a residency in Las Vegas just like those other has-beens who’ve made farewell shows but never really stopped with their careers. What is it with people and not knowing when to quit while their ahead? Unless you’re Celine Dion, I’m not buying into it.
