SNOOP DOGG - SNOOP HOPES VIDEO OF BRAWL WILL OVERTURN U.K. BAN

Rapper SNOOP DOGG is optimistic a video recording of a brawl at London's Heathrow airport that got him banned from the U.K. will help overturn the ruling. The hip-hop star is currently forbidden from entering the U.K., partly as a result of his drug convictions but also because he was cautioned by police on suspicion of violent disorder and affray following the Heathrow skirmish in 2006. But Snoop - real name Calvin Broadus - hopes video footage of the incident taped by a bystander will prove that British police were overly aggressive and responsible for the confrontation. He says, "They release this video and it's floating around on YouTube, TMZ and all over the internet. It's looking real strange how they (police) did that to me and my security. Now they looking real out of pocket."
