A police officer that taped rapper The Game in a holding cell flashing a wad of money, throwing gang signs and smirking is under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department's internal affairs division. The unnamed officer took the footage of the Compton, CA rapper using a cellphone on May 12, after The Game was arrested for allegedly pulling a gun on a man during a basketball game in South Los Angeles. The Game has pleaded not guilty to three felony counts of making a criminal threat, possessing a firearm in a school zone and exhibiting a firearm in the presence of an officer.

Snoop Dogg and his family will be the subject of a new reality show being shot for E! Entertainment. According to reports, the show will be "hilarious and heartwarming" as Snoop, 35, balances his time as a rapper and a devoted family man. "Snoop Dogg is, without a doubt, one of the most charismatic and intriguing personalities in pop culture today," said Ted Harbert, president and CEO of Comcast Entertainment Group, the parent company of E! Networks."While he has captured a legion of fans as the king of hip-hop, what makes Snoop most interesting is the side of him that people have never seen. The juggling act that Snoop faces day-in, day-out between career and family is certain to resonate with our viewers." The untitled half-hour show is slated for a late 2007 debut.
