Gig no-show puts Snoop in Dogg-house

The American star was denied entry to the UK, forcing him to cancel a string of dates with fellow rapper P Diddy due to kick off tonight.
Home Office officials refused a visa to the Drop It Like It's Hot star following a brawl at Heathrow Airport and a subsequent police caution for affray last year.
More than 65,000 tickets had been sold for the British leg of his European tour in the hope the Home Office would grant a dispensation. But ticket-holders will have to claim a refund after Snoop was given a firm no.
P Diddy, who was out partying with the Beckhams last night, has also scrapped the shows.
British fans vented their anger on the internet yesterday.
A message left by Emma from London on Snoop's official website reads: "Thanks Snoop! Bought my kids tickets for Christmas. Was the first big concert for them. Visa should have been sorted out before booking dates!"
