First he shocked the world by proclaiming he was giving up smoking.
Now, Snoop Dogg has delivered what is, perhaps, a bigger shocker. In an interview with The Sunday Times of London, the rapper said he has respect for the man who “has only done great things for me.”
“He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris,” Snoop Dogg said.
Harris is a cofounder of Snoop Dogg’s first label, Death Row Records. He was imprisoned for drug trafficking and attempted murder, according to The New York Times. Trump pardoned Harris in January 2021.
“So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” Snoop Dogg said.
Things have been much less civil between Trump and Snoop in the past.
Snoop Dogg was among those who disavowed Trump after he became president in 2016.

Even in a generally well-liked horror franchise like Slumber Party Massacre, there is still that one entry that fans do not rally around as much as others. And among the four films produced so far, Sally Mattison’s Slumber Party Massacre III is routinely slept on. However, this series’ third depiction of a sleepover gone terribly awry not only brings back the harshness of the original film, it also delivers an unusual perspective.
The first slasher trend had all but ended by 1990, but unseasonableness has never stopped a producer like Roger Corman. And as with the previous Slumber Party Massacre films, the third was directed and written by women, including a script by the late Catherine Cyran. This rushed, micro-budget film works from the same familiar prompt; a male assailant stalks and kills hapless, scantily clad women as they gather for what should have been a night of fun and play.

A film that we could say defies classification, but is often described as a neo-noir thriller – one that seems more concerned with how it looks than with what lies underneath its glossy surface, which makes some sense when one realizes that the filmmakers, co-directors, Scott McGehee and David Siegel, have a design school background. But it’s a promising concept with notions of identity and race at its core. Comparisons to the likes of David Lynch, surrealist Luis Bunuel, and Hitchcock have been made.
In short, wealthy white Vincent (played by Michael Harris) and working class black Clay (played by Dennis Haysbert), are long-lost half-brothers who contact each other after their father’s death. Vincent uses the arrival of Clay to engineer his own death; in a twist, Clay survives only to be burnt beyond recognition, and suffers amnesia. At the hospital, a plastic surgeon reconstructs his face, but based on pictures of Vincent,...
