GIN & JUICE SNOOP DOGG & MARTHA STEWART TEAM UP FOR VH1 ‘DINNER PARTY’ SERIES

Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart are bringing the party to VH1.

The odd couple will star in a series for the network called “Martha & Snoop’s Dinner Party.” Each week, the domestic diva and hip-hop mogul will invite their celebrity guests over for a “half-baked evening of cocktails, cooking, conversation, and fun where nothing is off limits,” according to a press release.
“My homegirl, Martha and I have a special bond that goes back,” said Tha Doggfather. “We’re gonna be cooking, drinking, and having a good time with our exclusive friends. Can’t wait for you to see how we roll together!”
Martha concurred. “At our dinner party, we will exemplify America’s fascination with food, entertaining, and celebrity,” she said. “‘Martha & Snoop’s Dinner Party’ will redesign the traditional food competition shows in a new, different and very funny way.”



This might seem like an unlikely pairing, but Snoop and Martha have a long history of appearing on TV shows together, including Justin Bieber’s “Comedy Central Roast” and ABC’s “100,000 Pyramids.”
