| Rapper Snoop Dogg held in London LONDON (Reuters) - American rapper Snoop Dogg was arrested with five other men during a disturbance at London's Heathrow airport but was later released on bail, his lawyer said on Thursday. The 34-year-old former member of the notorious Los Angeles Crips gang was held after a fight broke out when police escorted him and his entourage out of the airport on Wednesday evening. Scotland Yard said seven police officers suffered minor injuries, among them a fractured hand, after being called to the airport in the early evening to deal with a disturbance involving some 30 people in a British Airways business lounge. "Members of the group became abusive," said a police spokesman, after officers told them to reclaim their baggage. "Six members of the group, all aged in their 30s, were subsequently arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and affray." Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, became one of rap's biggest stars after his debut album "Doggystyle" topped the charts in 1993. He and the other men, all Americans, were taken to two London police stations where they were held in custody and later released on bail. "Snoop Dogg was released from Heathrow police station on police bail, he will now continue his onward travel to South Africa to complete his concert commitments there," his lawyer Peter Binning told reporters at Heathrow. "He has not been charged with any offence." Police bail -- the amount was not disclosed -- means Dogg could be called back for further questioning over the incident. Reuters/VNU |

| #5 Snoop better watch it in SA. Better not give him the upper floor suite in his hotel, as he and his bro's may push a refrigerator off the balcony for sport. |

| #4 News comes slow from the Mother Country, y'know. I spent my entire twelve years in Delhi reading the same edition of the Times. Knew it front to back. When my replacement arrived, I stole his three-week old copy for the voyage home... |
