Snoop Dogg x Madame Tussauds. Snoop Dogg unveiled himself…ahem…the $300K wax version of himself yesterday at Madame Tussauds in Vegas. He becomes the third hip-hop artist to be immortalized in wax behind Pac and BIG. It would have been nice if he wore his LBC black hoodie from “Nothin But G Thang” though. That’s classic right there.

Snoop Dogg x Dogg After Dark. I’m telling you again, Snoop’s MTV show “Dogg After Dark” is entry into the talk show biz. Now artists are starting to break news directly on his show. Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst, who directed the Ice Cube movie The Longshots, just appeared on the show as Limp Bizkit announces their reunion. Somewhere, somebody is excited about this reunion. I just don’t know where…or who.

Snoop Dogg x Rich & Infamous. Just a couple months after partnering up with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier for his newest seasonal release of Rich & Infamous, Snoop Dogg is already facing financial hardships with the clothing line. Our friends at SOHH brought up that like every other business, Rich & Infamous is being affected by the recession

Snoop Dogg x Christian Audigier. Snoop Dogg has been busy making major deals with MTV and Skull Candy headphones but that still hasn’t stopped him from aggressively pushing his clothing line Rich & Infamous. In fact, the deal with MTV just gives him more opportunities and exposure to give to the clothing line and still is in line with his original marketing plans for Rich & Infamous.

Snoop also recently launched a new collection of tees designed by fames fashion designer Christian Audigier who is most known for launching Ed Hardy. Here is a preview of the pieces which are also available at the official Rich & Infamous site. The shirts features Audigier’s trademark script and foil finishing and some include rhinestones as well. Most go for roughly $90 a shirt. Check out the rest of the newest collection with Christian Audigier after the jump.

Here are a couple of preview clips of what we can expect from Snoop’s new MTV show “Dogg After Dark.” I’ve been a Snoop supporter from day one so I’m not gonna jump to conclusions just based on these. The show premieres tonight on MTV 9pm so check it out for yourself and let me know what yall think. More after the jump…

You heard right. MTV is taking advantage of their built in audience with the teen demo and will be launching a record label division with Snoop Dogg as their first artist. Snoop recently left his long-term deal with Interscope to be the pioneering artist for the MTV label. As part of the deal MTV will hold the exclusive rights to distribute, market and promote his next album, “Malice in Wonderland,” out later this year.

MTV is still finalizing distribution details to get the album into stores. From a marketing perspective, I’m surprised that MTV never launched something like this before. The main issue though is that for the past 3-4 years their focus has been on female teens, hence programming like “The Hills,” “Laguna Beach,” “MADE,” “The City” the list goes on and on. As a result young male teens have been tuning out the network as shows like “Jackass” were never replaced.

Well according to MTV, things are going to change. Their new programming schedule calls for more male friendly shows including a spin-off of “Jackass” to lure the guys back. This is all part of a bigger initiative to then have artists like Snoop come in and market the hell out of his album. Does this mean Snoop will unseat Diddy as the hip-hop king of MTV? Well Snoop will also be hosting a new variety show, “Dogg After Dark,” Feb. 17 on MTV. We will have more details on the Snoop and MTV collab as they come in.

Check out this video of Snoop Dogg’s manager Ted Chung as he opens up a package sent from Gatorade “G.” This package has a retail value of over a grand. Forget the soccer moms, Gatorade has a new target, hip-hop fans. Lil Wayne’s narrated “G” commerical was just the first phase of the rebranding and retargeting efforts.

Now the sports drink has stepped it up with a tastemaker campaign targeting hip-hop artists, record label execs, streetwear designers and anyone who is considered “cool” in the urban landscape. Ummmm….Gatorade….I’m still waiting for my package!

Snoop Dogg is auctioning off his backyard shed called The Dogg House on E-bay as part of a TV promotion for his reality show “Father Hood.” In this coming Sunday’s episode, Snoop gets a brand new pimped out Dogg House so the old one has got to go.

All proceeds will go to Snoop’s Youth Football League and Snoop has even autographed the walls. Check out the promo trailer for the upcoming episode as well as pics of the old Dogg House that is now on auction. Hurry and bid for it on E-bay…only five days left.
