I bet you thought Snoop Dogg had done everything, huh? Rapper, actor, father, husband, pimp, gangsta, product huckster, reality show star, children’s book author, and 187 other things, I’m sure. Well, add star of Bollywood musical to that list, folks!
Yes, the stony rap star appears in Singh is Kinng, a Bollywood romantic comedy due out Friday. Snoop appears in the film with leading Bollywood star Akshay Kumar and sings the title track, which mixes hip hop and bhangra. The song has already made it to the top of the Bollywood music charts and is a hit at Indian nightclubs.

You know, it's rare that something really heartwarming happens on Attack of the Show, which is known for a lot of things, but being a warm, fuzzy bit of television programming ain't one of them. So, today, when our Wachovia Early Adopter Contest winner Jaron Di Tomasso asked his girlfriend to marry him, after joking about it earlier in the show, it was a really nice, very real moment, and we wanted to celebrate it by showing it to you.
See, nerds? You can get yourselves a cutie pie and make a go of it, too. Draw inspiration from this triumph. We give this an epic win.

 Tropic Thunder hits theaters this weekend, and the viral marketing campaign has been huge. One of the characters in the film is a rapper turned actor named Alpa Chino played by Brandon T. Jackson, and he's pimping his new energy drink Booty Sweat to the internet public. It's not a real drink, and you can't order any, but you can have some fun putting pictures of your friends in a Booty Sweat commerical, and having Mister Alpa Chino himself give them a personal phonecall. Nothing like messing with your friends remotely. Put some booty sweat on it!

Jake Gyllenhaal is the Price of Persia, whether you like it or not. However, after seeing this first picture of him in costume, maybe it won't be THAT bad. His hair is kinda lame, but the costume is pretty spot on, and the fact that he bulked up quite a bit makes us think the movie will be more about the action, and less about the evironment puzzles and reversal of time. Hit the link to Slashfilm to see the full sized picture.
