20th Century Fox is developing a feature called Coach Snoop about Snoop Dogg's Snoop Youth Football Team Foundation. The problem is, Snoop had also signed a deal with Natural Resources Media & Technology Group to develop a reality series about his youth football league. Since 20th Century owned the exclusive rights to any production involving the football league, the reality series was forced to shut down production. Now Natural Resources Media & Technology Group has filed a lawsuit against the foundation for breach of contract.

If trying to process all of that information almost made your head explode, join the club. It kind of makes me wonder exactly what Snoop was thinking, since at some point this information was going to surface.

What a load of crap. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a tribute to helium, lip syncing, egregious product placement, and in a small way, Thanksgiving. However, don't expect to see either Kermit the Frog or Charlie the Brown floating high above with all the other balloons. Instead, they'll be replaced by Flying Ace Snoopy, Pickachu and the Energizer Bunny. Okay, I'll accept one Peanuts character replacing another, but c'mon, getting rid of an icon like Kermit the Frog for some lame incoherent cartoon character or a product mascot? If I hadn't accepted long ago that this annual parade is essentially a slow moving advertisement, I'd be much more bothered than I am right now.

Oh yeah, and if you're concerned about another balloon-related accident like the one that occurred last year, extra precautions have been taken, including wind instruments along the route to help avoid such occurrences. Now the only thing they'll have to worry about is a bolt of lightening striking the Snoopy balloon and causing it to come to life a la Frankenstein's monster, resulting in utter mayhem as he flies his doghouse over Broadway, launching sidewinder missiles at the SpongeBob balloon. When you think about it, that's really what Thanksgiving is all about ... in my head.
