To some viewers, the pairing of Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart on their cooking-meets-talk show Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party may have been an unlikely one, but the rapper says their connection extends well beyond the TV screen.
“We have an appreciation for each other and that makes any friendship genuine,” Snoop, 45, told People in the Tanqueray tent at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival on Saturday. “It makes it work, appreciating what someone brings to the table.”
However, despite the cheeky name of their VH1 series and having baked “green brownies” together, Snoop says their hangouts don’t involve smoking pot together.

There are few filmmakers working today quite as innovative as Michael Winterbottom, who has an inclination to blur the line between reality and fiction in a way few manage. His latest endeavour, the documentary On the Road, following Wolf Alice as they embark on a UK tour, is no different, injecting fiction into this narrative, ensuring that the aforementioned indie outfit have a piece of cinema about them to cherish.
We begin at the very start of the tour, and we adopt the perspective of Estelle (Leah Harvey) – a vital inclusion as she’s new, meeting the band for the very first time, representing the viewer as we too adjust to this way of living. Laid back and easy to get along with, she has no problems fitting in, getting along well with Wolf Alice’s lead singer Ellie Roswell, and indulging in a romantic relationship with...

Fans of The Chainsmokers have a lot to look forward to these days. The DJ duo kept themselves in the spotlight last week as they teased a number of upcoming collaborations, with artists like Chris Martin of Coldplay, Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, and several others. Now, a new live video of their performance at Kaaboo from over the weekend has us hyped up for some more unreleased material.
The Chainsmokers have previously tried the ID out at a few live appearances earlier in the summer, but the latest video offers up the best preview of the upcoming song that’s available yet. The ID in question features a production typical of the duo’s radio friendly material, with uplifting female vocal hooks that have been speculated to belong to recent Martin Garrix collaborator Bebe Rexha, though this is unconfirmed. Laid back beats crash beneath the vocals and melodic guitar plucks,...

Like a promising student who never quite delivers on their potential, "Dead Man on Campus" had the makings of a quirky college comedy going for something a little different than the usual sophomoric approach.
Despite the intent, it doesn't make the grade. Episodic and unevenly paced, the comedy stalls every time it threatens to gain momentum, boosted by colorful character turns.
While its back-to-school timing is understandable, its core audience will likely be too preoccupied getting its own dorms in order to pay much attention to the MTV Films/Paramount collaboration.
Tom Everett Scott ("That Thing You Do!") is Josh, an earnest freshman attending ivy-covered Daleman College on a scholarship. Unfortunately, his roommate is Cooper (Mark-Paul Gosselaar of "Saved by the Bell"), a party-all-the-time rich kid who proves a bad influence.
As Josh's baptism by bong water results in plummeting grades with semester's end rapidly approaching, the pair turn to the renowned "Dead Man's Clause" as a last, desperate resort.
Qualifying as the stuff urban legends are made of, the clause apparently awards a 4.0 grade-point average to a student whose roommate dies -- provided, of course, that said student didn't cause the death.
With little time to waste, Josh and Cooper break into the mental health clinic to steal files of potential victims to recruit as roommates. But things turn out more complicated than they seem.
Working from a script by Mike White and Michael Traeger, frequent MTV director Alan Cohn eschews the loud, obvious route for something more subtle and Laid Back. The problem is, while that might have worked in a small-screen format, the direction and material scream for forward momentum here.
The cast is fine, with Scott playing Tom Hanks to Gosselaar's Michael Keaton, but things only really come alive with a trio of scene-stealing turns from their potential victims: Randy Pearlstein as clinically paranoid Buckley, Corey Page as faux-depressive Morrissey clone Matt and, particularly, Lochlyn Munro as dangerously gonzo Cliff.
Technically, "Dead Man on Campus" receives high marks. There's definitely an MTV-style look, thanks to cinematographer John Thomas ("Barcelona") and Carol Winstead Wood's spare, unfussy production design.
The audio end is even more satisfying -- from the jittery score by Devo-tee Mark Mothersbaugh and college radio-ready tunes by the likes of Blur, Supergrass and Propellerheads to a Dust Brothers-Marilyn Manson cover of David Bowie's "Golden Years" and '60s supermodel Twiggy's take on "I Only Want to Be With You".
