Snoop Dogg is hoping to follow his new Bollywood soundtrack offering by landing a leading role in an Indian movie.

The hip hop star has recorded a song for Akshay Kumar’s new film Singh is King, and Vipul A. Shah, who produced the track, reveals Snoop has longterm Bollywood plans.

He tells People.com, “Snoop wants to do a Hindi movie with Akshay, as he is really keen on wooing the Indian audiences.”

And Shah insists the 36-year-old’s musical creation for Singh is King proves Bollywood and hip-hop make perfect partners: “The most interesting aspect of the song is that one gets to see two very different styles – hip-hop with Snoop and Bhangra with Akshay.

“Their chemistry was worth seeing as they’re superstars from two different worlds… The video is looking brilliant!”

Snoop Dogg has passed on parenting tips to newlyweds Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz during a skit for the Fall Out Boy star’s TV show FNMTV.

The rapper, who appeared on the debut of Wentz’s new weekly show on Friday night, agreed to film a comedy segment at the rocker’s home.

Snoop, a father of three, advised a puzzled Wentz to put his new baby’s crib in the garage because, “You don’t want the baby next to you (in the bedroom) crying because you’re gonna want to knock the boots with Ashlee once she’s had the baby.”
And he urged Wentz to ignore early-learning videos for his child, and stick to rap and hip-hop promos instead.

Then, upon finding an opened bottle of alcohol in the couple’s refrigerator, the rapper suggested the parents-to-be put a “nip nip” (nipple) on top of the booze and let their baby drink from the bottle.

He then got personal by asking, “Ashlee, are you planning on breastfeeding?” to which the pregnant pop star replied, “Oh yeah, it’s so much healthier for the baby.”

But he went too far when he asked, “Do you need some tips?” while sucking on a bottle nipple.

The skit ended with Snoop offering the newlyweds his congratulations and wishing them luck in having “a healthy beautiful little boy,” before begging them not to let the child rap because: “You two are the whitest couple on earth.”

After a decade of marriage and three children later, rapper Snoop Dogg has a few words of advice for new husband and wife Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles.

“I told them to go home and make babies,” he told reporters at the Dodge Celebrity Event in Rosamond, Calif. “They should, that’s the next step as far as marriage, having kids … add on to the family, so hopefully that’s what they’ll do.”

When asked if he’d be planning on adding to his already full nest, he shook his head, grinning. “No. I’m good.”

Snoop’s key to lasting marriage? “Communication, and being able to fight and get back up,” he says. “To have misunderstanding and [then] get some understanding.”
