SNOOP Rolls to the Meteors...

What a crazy couple of days! The Meteor Music Awards 2005 saw more celebrities in Dublin then you could shake-a-stick at and where-ever Snoop Dogg went controversy followed...

SNOOP DOGG PLAYS THE POINT

The lead up to last weekend was the busiest couple of days we've had here at ShowBiz Ireland for a long time. With top US rapper Snoop Dogg in town alongside the likes of Caprice, Westlife, Brian McFadden & Delta Goodrem, Juliette Lewis, Ronan Keating, The Corrs and many more we didn't know where to point our lenses.

SNOOP DOGG PLAYS THE POINT

One thing that continually caught our attention was the swarm of controversy that seemed to follow Snoop Dogg and his entourage at every stop.

SNOOP DOGG @ SPIRIT

First off, apparently his minders had a bit of a wrestle with Brian McFadden after they shoved his girlfriend Delta Goodrem out of the way backstage at The Point as she prepared to go on stage with Snoop to present a Meteor Award!

SNOOP DOGG @ TOWER RECORDS

Then there was talk of Snoop's minders throwing Westlife out of Spirit nightclub and pinning Louis Walsh to a wall, at one of the afterparties for the Meteors - the US rapper booked-out the entire VIP section and didn't want to share it...

And Mr. Dogg wasn't finished stirring things up at Spirit, we spotted him rolling a 'home made cigarette' and smoking it out of a window at the club. We can only guess what was in it?

ED BYRNE & GLENDA GILSON @ METEOR AWARDS

According to reports Snoop's eye wandered over to model, and former girlfriend to Irish Rugby captain Brian O'Driscol, Glenda Gilson at Spirit (no wonder considering the see-thru dress she was wearing!). She then invited him over to Renards nightclub where another Meteor party was kicking off.

WESTLIFE @ METEOR AWARDS

Once at Renards Snoop offered to rent out the whole club for the night but owner Robbie Fox wasn't having any of it, the poor rapper had to mingle with the rest of the partygoers!

CAPRICE @ METEOR AWARDS

The Following day Snoop and his entourage went shopping in Grafton Street and booked out the whole of Foot Locker so they could do a spot of Sneaker shopping.

RONAN & YVONNE KEATING @ METEOR AWARDS

From there they walked the hundred yards or so to Tower Records, followed by hundreds of fans who had by now gathered. Snoop bought various Video games and CDs and a copy of his own record "Lets Get Blown" at the store...

SAMANTHA MUMBA @ METEOR AWARDS

That night Snoop Dogg played to a sellout crowd in The Point Theatre and despite the smoking ban enjoyed a few cigars during his fantastic set.

THE CORRS @ METEOR AWARDS

The big DOGG has now left Dublin but there's rumours abound that he's still in contact with the lovely Glenda Gilson, apparently he's put his private jet at her disposal whenever she wants to drop by and see him sometime. Don't hold your breath Snoop!
