Snoop Dogg has a prescription for medical marijuana in his home state of California. Unfortunately for him that means nothing to Texas police.
TMZ is reporting that The Doggfather was arrested in Sierra Blanca over the weekend when a drug sniffing dog alerted cops to a prescription bottle on Snoop's tour bus that had a half ounce of weed in it.
After admitting that the herb belong to him, Snoop was arrested and cited for misdemeanor drug possession and released. If convicted he could face up to 180 days in jail.
As Beyonce and Jay-Z's family and celebrity friends celebrate the birth of the couple's first child, a daughter named Blue Ivy, some people are complaining about the treatment they received while trying to see their own babies at the same hospital.
Beyonce gave birth Saturday at New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital, and new father Neil Coulon of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, says Beyonce's baby security team blocked him from seeing his own premature twins several times.
"Three times they stopped me from entering or exiting the NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit) and it happened once on Friday -- just because they wanted to use the hallway.” Coulon told the New York Daily News.

Beyonce and Jay reportedly shelled out $1.3 million dollars to seal off and redecorate a wing, complete with bulletproof glass and ultra-tight security measures that included guards patrolling the hallways with headsets.
Coulon says that at one point the security team cleared the entire sixth floor waiting room where his relatives were.
"They should have been more strategic about it,” he said. “These are children with problems in intensive care and you're just going to take over the hospital like you own it? All I want is an apology. I know they spent $1.3 million and I'm just a contractor from Bed-Stuy, but the treatment we received was not okay. My wife is just terribly upset. She had a C-section. She gave birth to twins. She is sore. Nobody needs this."

“Some people were upset,” one staffer said. “I heard a gentleman say he couldn’t go upstairs to see his baby (Saturday)."
“This is the NICU. Nobody cares if you’re a celebrity. Nobody is star-gazing. They just want to see their children,” Coulon added. "To have that circus roll into town and ruin our parade was unpleasant.”

"I heard you say you aint a b*tch 'cause you sing/You a b*tch 'cause you cling like a b*tch that's 18" - Common "Stay Schemin" remix
As we previously reported, Drake and Common are beefing and it looks like Com is not even playing around as he fires off on Drake on the remix to "Stay Schemin." It's a direct reply to Drizzy's verse on the song.
“I just ask that when you see me, you speak up n*gga that’s all/Don’t be ducking like you never wanted nothing,” Drake raps on the track. “It’s feeling like rap changed, it was a time it was rugged/Back when if a n*gga reached it was for the weapon, nowadays n*ggas reach just to sell their record.”
There was immediate speculation that the verse was directed at Common, who previously dissed Drake on the song "Sweet"
“He [Drake] opened his mouth and said some things, so if that’s what he want, all that subliminal [talk]…you could do that too, but say it now,” Common told Sway of MTV News and Shade 45's "Sway in the Morning" back in December when asked if "Sweet" was directed at Drake. “The verse is about me but when you hear some of the stuff on the chorus it’s like you can’t help but think about dude and I guess that’s what he felt. So at the end of day he fits in that category, he already embraced it, so wear it.”
The battle is in full swing now. Check out Common's new diss below.

This is a very personal song to me that I wanted to record for my fans. I want people to see the world from my eyes, you know, from BEHIND MY SHADES! It's my interpretation of what it means to be "FAMOUS," which is not something superficial but instead being self-confident and happy with who you are.
You can feel famous everyday if you believe in yourself!

Looks like Drake has fired back at Common for dissing him on his record "Sweet."
In a song entitled "Stay Scheming" that also features Officer Ricky and French Montana, Drizzy fires off a line that seems to get at Common.
“I just ask that when you see me, you speak up n*gga that’s all/Don’t be ducking like you never wanted nothing,” Drake raps. “It’s feeling like rap changed, it was a time it was rugged/Back when if a n*gga reached it was for the weapon, nowadays n*ggas reach just to sell their record.”
In an interview yesterday (January 6) French told Justin Credible of the L.A. Leakers that he spoke with Drizzy, who wouldn't reveal who he was dissing.
"I just got off the phone with Drake and he didn't even want to tell me," French said. "They can read between the lines."
At this point there really shouldn't be a need to be subliminal on Drake's part. Common clearly called him out for singing on most of his records on "Sweet." And he did it right before his album, The Dreamer/The Believer dropped which ties into Drake's line, "nowadays n*ggas reach just to sell their record."
Check out both songs below and weigh in with your opinion.

The saga of American concert promoter Patrick Allocco has taken a turn for the worse as the price for his release from the Republic of Angola has gone up.
As we previously reported, Nas was paid $300,000 to perform at a New Year's Eve concert in Angola, but failed to show up. Nas claims he didn't make it because of a "miscommunication" about his travel plans.
As a result of Nas' no-show local promoter Henrique 'Riquhino' Miguel sent armed men to kidnap Allocco and his son to prevent them from leaving the country without paying the money back first. After the two were turned over to local authorities the U.S. Embassy stepped in and put them in a hotel until an agreement could be reached.
After Allocco's rep released a statement asking Nas to give the money back so his ransom could be paid, Nas said he would do so once he found out where to send the check to.
Three days later the ransom has yet to be paid.
According to TMZ, Miguel is now demanding an additional $50,000 in expenses on top of the original $300,000 in order for Allocco to be released.
Nas has agreed to pay 300K, but not the additional 50K. On top of that he wants a letter from Allocco and Miguel freeing him from any liability.
The two sides are now deadlocked and Allocco is no closer to getting home than he was three days ago.
