There was so much drama in the MSY this weekend when Snoop Dogg ditched a planned appearance at a bar during All-Star Weekend in New Orleans. NOLA bar The Boot had sold hundreds of tickets to an afterparty featuring an appearance by the rapper, but neither the Doggfather nor his entourage ever made it to the party they were supposedly hosting.

The Boot was forced to send out the world's saddest mass e-mail to its cheated patrons on Monday, promising a 50-cent drink night soon.

Snoop, you owe the whole crowd some gin and juice. Or at least a keytar serenade.

Lucky Snoop Dogg won't be following in the footsteps of Paris Hilton or even O.J. by heading to jail in 2007. The man also known as Calvin Broadus Jr. has run into trouble at airports before, but for his latest offense--packing a collapsible baton in his carry-on luggage--Snoop pled guilty and escaped with 3 years of probation and 160 hours of community service. (He was arrested twice after that for gun and marijuana possession, for which he also received probation.)

The rapper is expected to join an Orange County grounds crew as early as next week to earn out his hours. That's four work weeks of 8-hour days--unless his tour intervenes.

International travelers, be ye wiser than Snoop Dogg. The California rapper has been forced to scrap his British tour -- the ground-breaking "One Love Peace Tour" with East Coast performer Diddy -- because his lawyers lost his visa appeal. Last time he traveled through Cool Britannia, Snoop actually spent a night in jail when his posse started a fight outside the British Airways first-class lounge when they were barred from entering.

"I can reach the kids with my mic that politicians cannot with their voices," Dogg is quoted as saying in The Guardian; British lawmakers have no comment, but we assume they have their minds on their money (and their money on their minds).

And you thought the Snoop Dogg arrests were over. Hardly. Super world traveler-in-training Calvin Broadus was arrested in Sweden earlier today (or late Sunday night, depending on how you look at it) on suspicion of being high. Just having a little weed in your system is illegal in Sweden. Snoop was leaving the Globe Arena (side note: would that thing not make the most outrageous bong?) when his car was stopped, and he ended up in the slammer for a few hours before being released--drug test results are pending. If--shock, horror--Snoop is found to have had drugs in his system, he'll have to pay a fine. If you want to visit the scene of the crime, the Globe Arena is removed from downtown, but quite accessible thanks to its own subway stop on the green line.

We thought Snoop Dogg would stay away from airports for a while after he was busted for carrying a 21-inch collapsible baton in his laptop case at the John Wayne airport in the OC the other day.

But no, Snoop was stopped again at the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, Calif. yesterday.

According to the AP, Snoop was stopped in a loading zone by airport police officers for a vehicle code violation. When they searched his car, they discovered marijuana and a gun. Snoop was arrested on illegal drug and gun possession, then released on $35,000 bail.

We have to admire Snoop's courage and fearlessness in these uncertain TSA times. While the rest of us nearly wet our pants wondering if we went over the 3oz liquid rule, Snoop Dogg  walks around airports with guns, batons and weeds ablaze.

Ain't nothing like a g-thang baby.

Some might think when they see laptop cases in airports that there are actually laptops in them. If you're Snoop Dogg, a laptop computer is the last thing he'd actually put in there. Cops apparently busted Snoop for toting a 21" collapsible baton weapon in his bag, as he waltzed through an x-ray machine at John Wayne Airport in Orange County. Yes, these are the same batons U.S. Navy Seals are issued to carry around and beat the crap out of enemies with.

Snoop was detained by the O.C. Sheriff's Dept., his weapon was confiscated, and criminal charges could be a possibility. Did he just forget it was in there? Like when you forget something in your bag from your last trip? Or was he planning on kicking ass and taking names on the way to the Admiral's Club? We'll never know...

In the meantime, he should take lessons from Paris Hilton who supposedly used to stash weed in her teddy bears on overseas trips.
