Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg, is the focus of much Internet buzz after it was reported that her dead body is being hidden by the rapper in their home. On the California Highway Patrol's website on Thursday, April 9, a "possible fatality" was listed, called in by a tipster, reports TMZ.com. "The Word is that 'Snoop Doggy Dog [sic]' has the dead body of his wife in his basement," reads the report at 3:19 p.m.

The gossip site claims that the report was "so ridiculous that no one at the CHP bothered to forward it to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department." Fingers crossed that all if well with Mrs. Broadus. Representatives for the rapper could not be reached early Friday. Snoop Dogg, 37, married his high school sweetheart, Shante Taylor Broadus, in June 1997. Although he filed for divorce seven years later, citing irreconcilable differences, it never went anywhere, and they renewed their wedding vows in January 2008.
