See Snoop Dogg Throw First Pitch, Give Play-by-Play at Brewers Game

See Snoop Dogg Throw First Pitch, Give Play-by-Play at Brewers Game

Snoop Dogg calls it like he’s sees it. On Saturday, his candor provided extra entertainment during his surprise appearance at American Family Field during the Milwaukee Brewers’ game against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday, which the Brewers won, 3-1.

The rapper treated fans to the first pitch of the game. He warmed up on the mound with his moves from the music video for “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” and Brewers first base coach Quintin Berry joined him. The rapper then threw a strike to Berry.


While that earned a standing ovation, Snoop struck pure gold when he headed to the booth for the Bally Sports Wisconsin broadcast with Brian Anderson and Bill Schroeder, where he commented on plays live at the game. “I came in where the players come in at,” he told them. “’Cause I’m a player.” He then joined them in detailing play-by-plays: “Get up in there!,” he exclaimed.

“Oh Lord, he’s got a rocket in his pocket,” he said as Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz threw out Brewers second baseman Brice Turang at first base. He also gave props to Brewers’ Christian Yelich. “Deuce-deuce, it’s deuce-deuce revolver was my problem solver, let’s go,” he rapped during one of Yelich’s at-bats.

His narration went beyond calling the game to admiration for players’ styles. At one point, he paid a compliment to Reds’ Jonathan India. “Who is that? I like his hair… Look at his hair, his hair bounce like mine… He’s got his hair game together.”

Snoop Dogg’s appearance at the game preceded his show on Saturday night at Milwaukee’s Potawatomi Casino Hotel.

Pierre Lapointe, Grand duke of broken souls

Many years ago, while studying theatrical performance at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, Pierre Lapointe was given a peculiar exercise by his teacher. The students were asked to walk from one end of the classroom to the other while observing their peers. Based solely on their gait, posture, and gaze, they had to assign each other certain qualities, a character, or even a profession.

Lapointe remembers being told that there was something princely about him. That was not exactly the term that this young, queer student, freshly emancipated from the Outaouais region and marked by a childhood tinged with near-chronic sadness, would have instinctively chosen for himself. Though he had been unaware of his own regal qualities, he has spent more than 20 years trying to shed this image, one he admits he may have subtly cultivated in his early days.

On «Abracadabra», Klô Pelgag proves she still has the magic

Anyone who has seen Klô Pelgag on stage can attest to her untamable energy, punk spirit, and refreshing spontaneity. "I really enjoy sweating and being out of breath," she says. "Feeling a little drained after a show is the best." The artist, who I met with on a rainy day, is the polar opposite of her onstage persona: today, she’s gentle, thoughtful, and introverted. Her soft, calm voice contrasts with the loud bustle of the crowded restaurant where we’re seated.

These different facets of Chloé Pelletier-Gagnon coexist harmoniously within her. After all, we are all made of paradoxes and multitudes. "Sometimes, I feel more like myself on stage than when I bump into someone I vaguely know at the grocery store and engage in small talk. That’s when I struggle!" she says, laughing.

Marketer Behind Fake Quotes in ‘Megalopolis’ Trailer Dropped by Lionsgate

Eddie Egan, a very real marketing consultant, lost his gig with Lionsgate this week after the studio discovered that quotes he used in a trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis were fabricated, according to Variety.

The conceit behind the teaser, which Lionsgate recalled on Wednesday, was that critics had trashed Coppola’s masterpieces throughout the decades, so why trust them? Except that the critics quoted didn’t actually write any of the pith. A quote attributed to Pauline Kael that was said to have run in The New Yorker, claiming The Godfather was “diminished by its artsiness,” never ran.
