Shante Broadus, Snoop Dogg's wife, rumored dead in basement
Shante Broadus, the wife of 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.

Streaky Campbell fires 65 to lead Masters
Augusta, GA (Sports Network) - Years after being voted by his peers as most likely to break through and win a major, Chad Campbell is still searching for that big victory.
He has collected four wins on the PGA Tour, including the 2003 Tour Championship. That win ranks as his best on tour to this point in his career.
Campbell, who has made the cut at the Masters just twice in five starts, began his round Thursday at Augusta with five straight birdies setting the record for most consecutive birdies to open a round at the Masters.
"Starting the day out with five birdies, I knew I was swinging well and putting it pretty well, so I could be a little bit more aggressive with my irons shots," stated Campbell.
The 34-year-old's birdie run was stopped by a par on the sixth. That was the first of six straight pars Campbell would post. Campbell's par run came to an end after the par-four 11th.
"I had two big saves on 10 and 11," Campbell admitted. "They were par putts of 10 feet or so. That kind of held the round together."
He then started his second birdie run of the day. After a birdie on the par- three 12th, Campbell made it two in a row at the 13th.
Campbell poured in his third straight birdie at the 14th. Campbell sealed the run at 15 with his fourth consecutive birdie. That moved him to minus-nine, where he led by three.
Campbell was also challenging the course record of 63, which Nick Price set in 1986 and Greg Norman matched in 1996.
However, he parred 16, then stumbled to back-to-back bogeys from the 17th. The closing bogeys left him at seven-under 65, but he was still atop the leaderboard.
"I'm a little upset with the way I finished, but I'll go out there Friday and hopefully keep it going," Campbell said. "To be able to be in this situation again, is huge for going into the week. But, this was just the first round so we've got a lot of golf to play."
Campbell easily carded his best career round at Augusta. His previous best was a five-under 67, which he did in 2005 and 2006.
The 65 was by far his lowest opening round in a major. Campbell's best previous start in a major came at the PGA Championship, where he opened with a 69 in 2003 en route to a second-place finish. Prior to this, his best first- round score at Augusta was 71, which he posted in 2006.
Campbell, who shared third place at the Masters that year, has shot lower than 65 16 times on the PGA Tour, including 61s at the Colonial and the Tour Championship.
"I think it does," said Campbell of having the knowledge of what it takes to go low. "Sometimes you get out there and you know you have to keep making birdies and keep playing well."

Salvia Plant
5 great plants for the Charlotte area
Perennials and hardy annuals are the backbone of many great gardens. They require little pampering once they have become established, bloom profusely in their season, the quietly recede to allow the next plants to shine.
Charlotte is a great place to grow flowering plants, but some are better suited for the hot, dry summer than others. By selecting carefully you can give your garden the extra boost of easy care plants that will return and bloom beautifully year after year.
Tall Bearded Iris: For large blooms that can take direct sun and dry conditions, Tall Bearded Iris are a great choice. Also called German Iris, Tall Bearded Iris do not like to have their roots wet and will rot if they sit in moist soil. Once they become established, each individual root will spread, growing into another hearlthy plant. They are great "pass along" plants, easy to divide and replant. When you plant iris, do not plant the rhysome in the ground like a bulb. Plant the rhysome at ground level, with the roots in the soil but the top of the rhysome above the soil. Iris are available in a wide variety of colors, ranging from purple to pink to deep blue.
Ice Plant: This perennial has thick, succulent leaves that store water, enabling the plant to survive drought and come back blooming. After a good rain, the light green plant will bloom profusely with bright pink flowers. This is a great choice to use in planters that are placed in sunny locations. With the occassional watering, the plant will continue to stay green. The plant will survive the winter in Charlotte, then start blooming again when the weather starts to warm up. Provide lots of good drainage as this plant will rot in wet soil.
Perennial Verbena: Some Verbena varieties are annuals while other are perennials, so check the label when you are buying to determine which variety you are purchasing. Perennial Verbena, such as "Homestead", are great plants for quickly covering soil, but can also become a nuisance. Verbena is a ground cover that spreads quickly, blooming profusely in the spring and fall. It will also bloom after a good rain in the summer. The branches root into the ground as the plant spreads, creating new plants. Allow several feet in all directions for growth.
Lavender Provence: This beautiful, fragrant herb is a wonderful addition to your vegetable bed or flower bed. Spreading to a bushy three foot high by four foot wide plant that is covered with blooms starting in early summer. The flowers and the leaves can be dried to use as fragrant wreaths or as ingredients in soaps and cosmetics. This lavender prefers good drainage and amended soil. It benefits from being cut back in winter.
Black and Blue Salvia: This variety of salvia is an annual, but can take Charlotte winters and come back strong. While it is not perennial, it will return year after year and grow larger each year. The leaves are fragrant, and the blooms are a beautiful blue. Plant this annual in well drained soil that is in partial shade, or has shade on the roots. The plants will grow to be around 3 feet tall, and will bloom profusely in the summer.
Try these five plants in your garden. Next week, we'll look at 5 great flowering bushes that do well in Charlotte.
Obama meets with Queen Elizabeth
Obama Gives Queen Elizabeth II an iPod
Call him a digital man in an analog world.
During a private meeting today with Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip at Buckingham Palace, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama exchanged gifts. According to the BBC, Obama gave the Queen an iPod, containing footage of her state visit to the United States in May 2007. In return, the Queen gave the president a silver-framed photograph of herself and her husband. It's the official picture she gives all visiting dignitaries.
President Obama's 21st-century gift is a reinforcement of his love for technology; he did launch the most tech-savvy presidential campaign in history and admits he has a BlackBerry addiction. On the President's first day in the White House, members of his administration grappled with outdated technology, such as old computer software and a shortage of laptops. More recently, The White House's Web site made itself available for Internet-submitted questions for Obama's online town hall meeting--a virtual fireside chat.
Tonight the Queen will host a reception in honor of Mr. Obama and other world leaders. Obama is in London to take part of the G20 summit to discuss the global economy.
