The rapper partners up with his favorite line of cigarillo.
Snoop Dogg will be taking his talents into the cigar business.
Early Thursday (January 12), the rapper revealed that he will be partnering with new premium quality tobacco cigar brand, Executive Branch to produce the Executive Branch Cigarillos.
“Throughout my career I have been lucky enough to travel the world and try all different types of tobacco products,” the Doggfather said via a statement. “During my travels throughout South America and the Caribbean, I was fortunate to encounter this tobacco company, Executive Branch and was so impressed by their commitment to quality [far superior than all others], I knew I had to bring them to the States for all my fans to enjoy.”
During one of her many media stops this week in promotion of her single, “Fame,” Kanye West’s ex-girlfriend and Wiz Khalifa’s new lady broke into tears after telling host Sway that she gets bullied by Kanye’s fans.
“I have people throwing things at me in the street because they’re fans of Kanye,” Amber said before she started to cry on set. “Take your time,” Sway advised her before passing her a tissue.
“I’m just crying because I don’t deserve to be bullied like that,” she continued as she sobbed. “I’m a nice girl, I don’t bother anybody. I keep my mouth shut because I don’t want any trouble.”
I think kanye needs to talk to his fans about that cos she deserves to be treated better,what do you think?

As Jay-Z and Beyoncé welcome the birth of their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, many controversial claims have surfaced regarding the celebrity couple receiving special treatment from Lenox Hill Hospital. But amidst public outrage, both the Carters and Lenox Hill have found themselves a surprise supporter: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
According to Perez Hilton, the Mayor’s stance on the issue represents his background as an entrepreneur, stating, “Let’s step back a little bit here. If [the hospital] got paid a lot of money and it lets them provide services to other people who don’t have insurance or can’t afford it, I’m not so sure it’s a bad thing. Full-paying patients are very valuable to hospitals in this day and age.”
Bloomberg also reiterated the importance of “an enormous revenue source,” especially during an era where budgets continue to tighten.
Lenox Hill Hospital’s executive director Frank Danza spoke out Wednesday (January 12) to clear the rumors, clarifying that contrary to the chatter in the media, no complaints were received from patients. According to Danza, “No security plan that we or the Carters’ security team put in place would have prevented or delayed families from gaining access.
Though the hospital continues to deny rumors that special privileges were given, it is reported that Mr. and Mrs. Carter paid approximately $1.3 million for an entire wing to be sanctioned off just for them, a claim Danza also denies, adding that B was admitted into a freshly renovated executive maternity suite that cost up to $800 a night. The room came equipped with four flat-screen TVs and a kitchenette, among other top-notch amenities. TMZ got a hold of photos today (January 12) .

It’s been nearly three years since Chris Brown laid into Rihanna just before the Grammys, causing a very messy and very public break-up. But according to sources, the ‘Rude Boy’ songstress still hasn’t let go of her first love.
In fact, the source alleges that Rihanna feels if she can’t be happy, Breezy shouldn’t be happy either. “She’s trying to break up Chris and his girlfriend, Karrueche [Tran],” the unnamed source reports to Life and Style. “Chris is happy, but Rihanna keeps playing her games to make trouble. It’s become an issue.”
Rumor has it that Rihanna is pulling out all the stops to get Chris to notice her, even showing up wherever he is and ‘secretly’ spouting her love for him all over Twitter. “Not only has she initiated a Twitter conversation with Chris for all to see, but she has gone to see him,” the insider claims. “She stopped by his studio recently — twice. She’s also calling and texting him a lot. She won’t let go.”
Of course, take all of this with a grain of salt, as apparently the ‘source’ is a friend of Chris Brown, making their claims fairly one-sided. From what we can tell, Rihanna has taken her public misfortune and spun it into music gold — and when she’s not rocking No. 1 singles, she’s party hopping all over the globe. We’d say she’s doing just fine on her own.
