Snoop has just announced the release of his next doggy-licious album. Titled Doggumentary Music, the followup to 2009’s Malice n Wonderland will receive release in March 2011 through Priority Records/EMI. Ahead of the release, Snoop Dogg has already dropped the album’s first single, “New Year’s Eve”. He has also decided to“doggument” his musical process online via his UStream and other social networking platforms. According to an issued press release, “these live sessions will give fans a peek into the making of the album; whether it is a studio session with Snoop, him playing cuts from the album or one of Snoop’s key producers talking about the making of the album, viewers will get a glimpse into the creation of Doggumentary Music.”

The Queen had better get out her earplugs - grandson Harry wants rappers Snoop Dogg and Tinie Tempah to play at big brother William's engagement party.

Prince Harry, 26, is said to be organising the bash to celebrate Wills' engagement to Kate Middleton. And Brit chart-topper Tinie and US megastar rapper Snoop are high on his list for the entertainment.

Sure, Snoop is doing this mostly to promote his compilation album My #1 Priority, but the Old Spice Guy was promoting Old Spice and that didn’t stop anybody from enjoying his videos.

The rapper, who has cultivated a gangsta’ image and has had recurring legal problems, was slated to perform a the free outdoor Parkpop Music Festival June 27 in the Hague.

He was on the bill with singer/actress Juliette Lewis and German pop star Ne na.

But city officials objected to the rapper’s involvement in the festival. They said his concert was canceled “in order to preserve the free, open and friendly na ture of Parkpop.”

His record label EMI released the following statement in response to the move:

“Snoop Dogg is astonished by the decision of the Mayor of The Hague. (He) is a mainstay at music festivals all over the world and has performed at all of these without incident.”

* = w/ Snoop Dogg

Katy Perry's "California Gurls" is Robin S's "Show Me Love" 17 years on.

With that vibe-toned synth line, the '90s dancefloor drum track, the diva-ish "ohs" at the tail of the pre-chorus and the slap bass, this new single from the "I Kissed a Girl" singer is a welcomed golden era rehash, Golden Coast style.

Listen to the track streaming on Katy Perry's website.

The pros of this summer jam include that funky, subtle Jackson 5-ish guitar lick that titters all over the chorus, rolling the thing even further decades back. Perry maintains her coy, flirtatious persona by keeping the clothes on and her hands up in the track, emphasis on the party and less so the party in one's pants (Sex on the Beach is a drink name, guuuuys, get it?).

Lyrically, it's delightfully mindless, a generic "rep" of all things Californian and a double-dose of Snoop Dogg love. Consider Miley's "Party in the U.S.A." flag properly folded and stowed. Although, one metaphor doesn't quite hold "up": isn't a melting popsicle a bad thing?

Oh and laser sound effects. Man, did I miss those.

The cons: Snoop's raps are ridiculous. Just about anybody could be making those rhymes, and in the same manner, rendering his contributions dead on impact. "Summertime's everything!" Really, Snoop, really? That his giggleabout seven seconds from the end. Sounds precisely the same as Pitbull's trademark laugh, which now is as distinct and cheesy as the Wilhelm_scream.

We hope Perry collected a little pocket skrill for the Jeep name-checks. Beyond that, this is a serious summer-themed money-maker, the first single from Perry as-yet-untitled album, likely due this summer from Capitol

The trip includes several shows on college campuses, starting with the April 9 kick-off at Illinois State University in Normal, IL. The 10-city trek wraps May 1 in Indio, CA. Dates are at right.
