Caught in the middle of the wildfires that destroyed hundreds of homes in California, Snoop Dogg and family were asked to evacuate. We gather that the fires, to the north, north-west and south of L.A. burnt through dry forest before unleashing its wrath on suburban communities.

According to the LA Times, homeowners in Snoop’s neighborhood, “an exclusive gated-community in Diamond Bar,” were asked to evacuate. Snoop and family were among the thousands of California residents that evacuated as wildfires blazed through town. In true Snoop fashion, his family left in a caravan full of caged dogs.

Snoop’s neighborhood wasn’t the only area affected by the California fires.

“Among the 14,000 homeowners in Montecito are the talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, the film director, Steven Spielberg, and actors John Cleese, Michael Douglas, Christopher Lloyd and Steve Martin.” [via: Telegraph]

Actor Rob Lowe also described his family’s dramatic escape from an “Armageddon-like” wildfire that ravaged a celebrity-studded enclave in California. If you’re in Cali, please stay safe. We need your readership.

Snoop Dogg probably needed an excuse to party with Australian models, so he decided to throw a bash for his newly launched Notorious eyewear range. The launch party went down at Nevermind Nightclub in Sydney, Australia. Check out some more party pics after the gap.

Devin teams up with his playa partner Snoop Dogg for the most foul-mouthed song of 2008 so far. This is definitely no “Lil Girl Gone.”

Actually, don’t click that link unless you’ve been so thoroughly desensitized to contemptuous misogyny that you no longer recognize it when you see it.

I’m going to give Game and Snoop the benefit of doubt and assume they’re going off the top here. These days, you just never know what’s freestyle and what’s written anymore.
