Snoop Dogg evolves into Snoop Lion, claims he is Bob Marley reincarnated (VIDEO)



Rastafarian priests gave Snoop Dogg takes the new identity Snoop Lion during his spiritual awakening, as the music icon records first reggae album.



Snoop went to Jamaica a Dogg but returned a Lion after a religious and artistic awakening.

Rastafarian priests bestowed the new moniker Snoop Lion upon the music icon when he

visited Jamaica in search of "a new path."
"I didn't know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, 'Snoop Dogg.' And he looked me in my eyes and said, 'No more. You are the light; you are the lion.' From that moment on, it's like I had started to understand why I was there," he explained at a press conference.
Born Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., Lion has always felt a special connection with Jamaica's most celebrated music legend, according to news.com.au. "I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated," Lion said. "I feel I have always been a Rastafari. I just didn't have my third eye open, but it's wide open right now."
This spiritual development has revived Lion's artistic energy. After years in the music industry, rap started to stale for the 40-year-old music icon. Ever since he appeared on the scene with "Doggystyle" in the early 1990s, Snoop has been a prominent player in west coast hip-hop. But Lion welcomes musical change and growth.


"I've been on the top ever since I've been in it," he explained. "I got rap songs that will never die. And that ain't with no disrespect but I'm tired of rap."
While in the studio, he distanced himself from his musical past by referring to Snoop Dogg in the third person. "F*** Snoop Dogg. Don't think about none of the s*** he rapped about: hustling and making money and drug-dealing and shooting. All that s***'ll be out of here," he said to his collaborators in the studio.
With reggae, Lion has the chance create music that all ages can enjoy - from children to his grandparents, who might not have been able to enjoy his harder-edged rap catalogue.
"I'm a wise man in the music industry," he said. "Not that I'll never do rap again because I'm always gonna do what I love, but right now I'm Snoop Lion and I'm having fun with this reggae movement so hopefully you guys will enjoy it as well."
Vice Films - in association with Snoopadelic Films - will release a documentary about the artist's transformation from Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7.
Snoop Lion's first single is "La La La."

Snoop Dogg changes name to Snoop Lion, says he is Bob Marley reincarnated




Snoop Dogg wants you to know that he's tired of hip-hop, is Bob Marley reincarnated and is embracing reggae instead of the culture of guns he once rapped about.
Also, he's got a new name: Snoop Lion.
The artist said at a news conference Monday in New York that he was "born again" during a visit to Jamaica in February and is ready to make music that his "kids and grandparents can listen to."
The former gangster rapper is releasing a reggae album called "Reincarnated" in the fall. He said that in Jamaica, he connected with Bob Marley's spirit and is now "Bob Marley reincarnated."
Bob Marley's son Rohan attended the conference and gave Snoop his blessing.
"I feel like I've always been Rastafarian," Snoop said of the spiritual Jamaican movement. While there, he said, he visited a temple, was renamed Snoop Lion and was also given the Ethiopian name Berhane, meaning "light of the world."
Snoop didn't explain why he was switching from "Dogg" to "Lion," but it's likely a reference to the Lion of Judah, a religious symbol popular in Rastafarian and Ethiopian culture.
Later, he played five songs for a small crowd, including one called "No Guns Allowed." It features his daughter and includes the lyrics, "No guns allowed in here tonight, we're going to have a free for all, no fights."
"It's so tragic that people are doing stupid things with guns," he said.
Snoop, best known for hits like "Gin and Juice" and "Drop It Like It's Hot," is an avid supporter of marijuana rights and has been banned from entering Norway for two years after trying to enter the country with a small amount last month.
He said that in Jamaica, where he stayed for 35 days, he grew closer to his wife, who saw his transition. He added that he's excited to perform music that his family and children can listen to.
"As a 40-year-old man ... I've got to give them something," he said. "That's what you do when you're wise."
Snoop Dogg said he's not completely retiring from hip-hop but is "tired" of the genre because it is no longer challenging.
"Reggae was calling ... it's a breath of fresh air," he said. "Rap isn't challenging; it's not appealing."
The album was produced by Diplo and will feature Snoop singing. It will be released on Vice Records.
The album will be followed with a documentary of the same name, also produced by Vice. It features Snoop making music and will include some personal elements of his life, a producer of the film said. It will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
A coffee table book about Snoop's rebirth is also in the works.
"It feels like I'm 19 or 20 years old again," he said.

Nadia Comaneci, 'Perfect 10' Queen, Hopes Gymnastics Brings Back 'Perfect 10' Scoring System [VIDEO]

Nadia Comaneci, the original queen of the Olympic gymnastics 'Perfect 10,' is hoping that officials will turn back to the old school scoring style so that modern Olympian gymnasts can score the 'perfect 10' as well.
The famous Romanian gymnast Nadia Elena Comăneci made Olympic history books for being the first female gymnast to achieve the perfect score of 10. She was only 14 when she achieved the perfect score at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal for her performance on the uneven bars. Not only that, but she took home three gold medals during those games. She earned two more golds during her career which are among her nine medals.


At the time, the Olympic scoreboards couldn't even display a 10 because it was thought that no one would be able to earn an absolutely perfect score. The board showed a 1.00, which left Comaneci confused as she thought she had done much better.
"I didn't understand what that meant," Comaneci, 50, told The Associated Press. "That's all they could show. I was a little frustrated at the beginning because I thought I did better than one."
Comaneci did do better than a one. Her performance, by the judge's standards, was perfect.
Today, gymnasts don't even have a chance to score the perfect 10. It isn't because they're not good enough to try. It's because the scoring system changed six years ago, 30 years after Comaneci got the score.
The International Gymnastics Federation established the new scoring system in 2006,  before the 2008 Beijing Olympics. A high score is considered to range in the 15's and 16's. So scoring a 10 today would be pretty bad.
Although the 2012 Olympic Games are underway in London, Comaneci still hopes they bring back the old perfect 10 scoring system.
"I think gymnastics was associated with a 10. I thought that belonged to the sport and somehow we gave it away," she said. "I think we lost a lot of fans.
"It's a little bit confusing for fans. I think probably they're going to find a way to bring back the 10."
In addition to her five gold medals, two silver medals, and a bronze, Comaneci won two world titles during her 10-year international career.
At the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow, Comaneci took home two golds and two silvers, which some didn't find impressive compared to her three gold medals won at the Montreal Games.
"Nobody talks too much about Moscow," Comaneci added. "It's funny because I get this all the time. 'You went to Moscow but didn't do too well.' And I say 'Two gold medals and two silvers I don't think is that bad."

Bronx teen John Orozco helps USA men's gymnastics team to the top of the qualification round


Individually, Orazco advances to finals along with teammate Danell Leyva while team USA qualifies ahead of Russia and Great Britain


John Orozco, the teenager from the Bronx, helped lead the U.S. gymnastics team to the top of the rankings in a qualification round.

It was an impressive afternoon for the men, as Orozco and Danell Leyva also became two of four Americans to advance to the individual event finals. The U.S. posted a team total of 274.342, putting it ahead of Russia (272.595) and Great Britain (272.420), respectively.


Scores from the qualifying round do not carry forward to the finals, but are a strong indication of what may happen next.

Leyva and Orozco stood one-two in the standings.

SAUDIS THREATEN EXIT
IOC president Jacques Rogge faced his first major crisis, as Saudi Arabia threatened to withdraw its athletes from the Olympics after a Saudi female judoka was banned by the International Judo Federation from competing with a head scarf.

Negotiations continued as Rogge tried to avoid what would be a big blow to his presidency. He has been very public about his diplomatic triumph in getting the first Saudi woman into the Olympics.

The Saudis will not allow the woman, Wodjan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani, to compete without the Muslim headwear, or hijab, or without a male chaperone.

The Judo Federation, however, has thus far banned the head scarf on safety grounds.

WEIGHTLIFTER BANNED
The IOC on Saturday expelled Albanian weightlifter Hysen Pulaku, 20, from the Olympics after he tested positive for the synthetic anabolic steroid stanozolol. Pulaku tested positive on July 23, and his file will be sent to the International Weightlifting Federation for further review and potential punishment.

The drug, which mimics testosterone and builds muscle, is quickly becoming the scourge of these Games. Greek high jumper Dimitris Chondrokoukis was also banished for the same offense.
SERENA, ISNER WIN
Americans Serena Williams and hard-serving John Isner advanced to the second round of the Olympic tennis tournament. Williams had an easy time against former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic, 6-3, 6-1, knocking eight aces on Centre Court and beating the Serb in 61 minutes. Isner topped Olivier Rochus of Belgium, 7-6 (1), 6-4.
LET US IN!
Early preliminaries in a variety of non-ticketed “minor” sports have created a controversy at sites where spectators showed up and thought they’d be allowed in for free.

Thousands of spectators were turned away from the Lord’s cricket ground on Friday for the archery ranking round, in which legally blind Im Dong-hyun of South Korea set a world record for 72 arrows with a score of 699.

'Jeffersons' star Sherman Hemsley dies in El Paso

Television star Sherman Hemsley, who was part of a wave of African-American actors who made inroads on television in the 1970s, died Tuesday at his home in far East El Paso. He was 74.



Hemsley was best known for his exaggerated strut, wisecracks and boisterous attitude while playing the character George Jefferson on the popular sitcom "The Jeffersons" (1975-1985).
Neighbors said the Hemsley they knew was a regular guy who would wave hello and goodbye and who would walk to a nearby Albertsons grocery store because he didn't drive.
"I got a call from one of his staff members. It's very tragic, sad news. I lost a good friend and El Paso lost a good resident," said U.S. Marshal Robert Almonte, who befriended Hemsley when Almonte was with the El Paso Police Department.
"He was a great person," Almonte said. "He loved El Paso. He was living here full time. El Paso was his home."had lived in El Paso off and on for more than 10 years before moving to the city full time. Hemsley, who was involved in local charitable causes, said in a previous interview that he liked El Paso's "peacefulness" compared with Los Angeles.
For the past three to four years, Hemsley lived in a middle-class home with a Spanish-tile roof on Tom Ulozas Drive near George Dieter Drive. Neighbors said Hemsley lived alone.
Hemsley's death was first reported on the celebrity news website TMZ.com, which also said Hemsley's body was found by his nurse, who initially thought he was sleeping. Information on funeral services was not immediately available.
Neighbors reported seeing police at Hemsley's home at about 11 a.m. and seeing a body wheeled out.
"We found out it was Mr. Sherman," said Antonio Ceballos, 25, who lives across the street.
Police Department officials said Hemsley was found dead in his home. A ruling on the cause of death is pending an autopsy and no foul play is suspected, officials said.
A biography on the Internet Movie Database website stated Hemsley was born in Philadelphia in 1938. He served in the U.S. Air Force before joining the Negro Ensemble Company in New York.
In early 1970s, Hemsley was hired by Norman Lear for the role of Archie Bunker's neighbor George Jefferson in "All in the Family."
In 1975, the Jeffersons spun off to their own show when they moved on up to the East Side to a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Lear's shows touched on race relations, poverty and other social issues that had often gone unmentioned on TV.
After "The Jeffersons" ended, Hemsley played a deacon on the NBC sitcom "Amen" (1986-1991). He also had appearances on other TV shows.
"Being in show business is weird," Hemsley said while performing with the 62nd Army Show Band at an El Paso park in 2005.
"You never know what's going to make you popular. What made me popular? That stupid walk," Hemsley said before launching into a rendition of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way."
Dave Eller, 62, remembered the day he met the celebrity next door. "I called him 'George.' He said, 'It happens all the time,' " Eller recalled.
Gregory Kennebrew, 52, was surprised the first time he spotted the former TV star walking in his neighborhood.
"I was riding my motorcycle and I saw him walking down the street," Kennebrew said. "I made a U-turn and asked him for a photo. We started talking after that. I was very surprised, shocked because I saw him on 'Amen,' on the Archie Bunker show and, of course, 'The Jeffersons.' "
After that meeting years ago, Kennebrew said he would often chat with Hemsley while giving him rides in a vehicle to the supermarket.
"He was one of the top icons," Kennebrew said. "He made everybody laugh."
