Yesterday, for no apparent reason other than he was stoned and had just bought a Web cam, Snoop Dogg launched his very own online show, "Snoop Dogg TV," a mind-blowing, decidedly, uh, "free-form" series that revolves around him smoking spliffs, lounging in what appears to be someone's rec room, and singing along to R&B tracks being played on his computer.

It is sort of insane. It is sort of compelling. And it is quite possibly the most amazing thing ever foisted on these Interwebs of ours.

So far, Snoop has broadcast four episodes of "Dogg TV" (or, more specifically, two very-long episodes broken up into four segments of indeterminate length and subject matter ... usually whenever the Web cam conks out), which means that it's not too late to get on the bandwagon before this thing turns into another Shiba Inu cam.

And to get you up to speed on what you've missed so far, I've compiled a handy episode guide, which you can read after the jump. Read more...

Last night, mere hours before he was scheduled to take the stage at Dallas' Superpages.com Center, Snoop Dogg's tour bus was stopped by police, who found two ounces of marijuana after a brief vehicle search. Surprisingly, the green stuff wasn't Snoop's, but belonged to two men who were on the bus. They were taken into custody on drug possession charges, posted $1,500 bond, and were released. (Read the complete story here.)

Given Snoop's proclivity for herbal enhancement, the fact that the rapper wasn't busted is a good sign. Perhaps Snoop's turning over a new leaf — no pun intended. Had cops pinned the drugs on him, Snoop could've been in a world of trouble; last year, he was sentenced to five years' probation after pleading no contest to felony gun and marijuana charges.

Phew, that was a close one.
