Snoop Dogg (real name Calvin Broadus), whose image has hopscotched between the nonthreatening thug in car commercials and the scowling former gang member who has frequent brushes with the law and an open affection for marijuana, will spotlight his kinder, gentler side in his new reality show, Father Hood which is slated to premiere on Sunday, December 9th on E! Entertainment Network. The show will capture the legally challenged yet multi-platinum selling rapper’s life behind the microphone as a husband, the father of 3 kids and the head of a youth football league as he goes about his daily business, which has expanded over the past decade to include producing, acting, hosting a radio show, and tacking -izzle onto the end of every other word. On the home front, Snoop and his wife of 10 years, Shante, have two sons and a daughter.Add a handful of court dates to the mix and you've got one of the fullest plates around. Expect to see Snoop in the process of completing the 800 hours of community service he was sentenced to in April after pleading no contest to a pair of felony weapon and drug charges stemming from separate arrests last fall. Although Snoop has a valid certificate from the state of California allowing him to use marijuana for medicinal—but not career—purposes, he was busted in October in front of Burbank Airport for illegal transport of the drug and gun possession.

"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."
Also, the Dogggfather recently announced that his ninth solo album titled Ego Trippin' will be hitting shelves in March 2008. As the title implies, the artist has said that he will not be collaborating with any other guest rappers or singers this time around. Snoop will debut the video for his first single, Sensual Seduction, on MTV’s TRL on Wednesday (November 28) and BET's 106 & Park on Thursday (November 29). Snoop said of the track: "Sensual Seduction is like a throwback feel-good song. I wanted to have fun with this one ... and the video is crazy!" The promo sees the rapper in 1980s setting, surrounded by lookalikes of bands from that decade including Vanity 6 and The Mary Jane Girls.
Snoop also serves as an executive producer for XM Satellite Radio's classic hip-hop channel and hosts the show Welcome to da Chuuch with Big Snoop Dogg.
