Snoop Dogg releases 'anthem' for Prince William
What kind of wedding gift do you get the groom who has everything? How about a song celebrating his engagement?

OFF-DUTY ERRAND RUN
Caught in an off-duty moment by the ever present paparazzi, former "City" star Whitney Port was seen running errands in LA on November 23. For her street style ensemble, Whit started with an oversized pocket tee (get a great basic with T by Alexander Wang's Classic Pocket Tank in Dusk) that she paired with a green knit cardigan (try Splendid's great lightweight 1x1 Cardi in Military or play up the detailing of Whit's cardigan with Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Navajo Sweater in Brown), and then slipped into a pair of light wash skinny jeans (I love the detailing on Artisan de Luxe's Rider in Snow Blue) and a pair of tan brogues. To finish up her look, Whitney wore a pair of red sunglasses and toted a black and cream tote. How are you feeling about WP's outfit here - cute and stylish or a little to eccentric for your taste? While she's no stranger to being in the spotlight, Whitney decided to invite her fans to her Thanksgiving celebration this year, via her blog. Whitney blogged: "I hope you are all fat and happy after the long holiday weekend! I know I am! Thanksgiving this year was so wonderful! As always my mom made the most delicious meal. I am not the biggest fan of turkey and stuffing, so thank god for the 20 other dishes! I mean look at these pictures, there were no joke 15 different options each for dinner and dessert! My favorites were the corn souffle, pumpkin muffins, brussel sprouts, and pound cake with homemade whipped cream and berries!" It definitely seems like Whitney was well-fed this Thanksgiving, sheesh!
Soulja Boy Tell'em
Fame Bites goes inside the belly of the entertainment beast. We're dishing out where the celebrities are eating, what they're eating and who they're eating with.Just when you were giving thanks that Thanksgiving was over, we're bringing out the leftovers - Soulja's orders. You haven’t turned your calendar to December yet, so the bird is technically still the word.
Along with creating a dance that will be immortalized at weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs and generally revelrous gatherings, Soulja Boy's contagious single “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” spent seven weeks atop Billboard’s Hot 100 singles’ chart and helped his debut album Souljaboytellem.com achieve platinum status by selling over one million copies.
His second album, iSouljaBoyTellem, produced such singles like "Kiss Me Thru the Phone" and "Turn My Swag On" - and his new album, The DeAndre Way, drops November 30.
We caught up with the 20-year-old rapper during last week’s gorgefest to talk turkey, sweet potato pie and Thanksgiving swag. (Editor’s Note: The term "swag" refers to the way you carry yourself - your demeanor, if you will.)How do you get your swag on for Thanksgiving?"You get your swag on by chilling with the people that you love, just having a good time and being around family for me. I'll pull up to my grandmother’s house in my drop top Lamborghini."
Do you have a Lamborghini we can borrow?"Absolutely! Just make sure that you give me credit on CNN!"
We want to write a song with you called “Turkey Day Swag.”"We can totally do that and should!" (Note to self: Next time in Atlanta, call Soulja…)
What is your must have item for Thanksgiving?"I have to have sweet potato pie. Every year my grandmother cooks for my family, and I love her sweet potato pie. I also love her egg pie - no one else in my family eats it, but I love it. I don’t even know how to cook it, but it’s a must have."
I’ve read that you have over 100 tattoos – if you had to tattoo a food to yourself, what food would you pick?"Probably bread and water. The most basic food."
Your Twitter fans told me you love chicken."Oh yeah! Chicken and waffles for my fans. Definitely."
Who is your dream dinner date and where would you go?"Beyoncé. I would take her to the most amazing restaurant in the world. I have to find it, but maybe a restaurant on the water."
We want to make a drink and call it the Soulja Boy Signature - what is in your signature drink?"It has to have Kool-Aid, peach, apples and Red Bull. My drink would have to be really sweet - and have some swag in it."
What is your signature meal to cook?"Hot Pockets in the microwave, if that counts. If I’m on the road, I’ll mostly do room service. I don’t ever get to cook unless I’m home, and I’m barely at home. And when I’m home, my mom will cook for me."
Twitter question! One dish a future girl of yours has to know how to cook?"Fish and spaghetti - if you can cook me fish and spaghetti, we can have a relationship. I like fried fish, baked fish - and add French fries to it too."
You can’t go a day without…"Drinking water – I drink a lot of water just because when I was younger my Dad would tell me to put down whatever I was drinking and go drink some water."
You travel a lot, what are some of your favorite restaurants?"In Los Angeles, I love Wingstop. In New York, I go to Mr. Chow’s. If I’m on the road, I love going to any buffet - especially the ones that are all you can eat all night."
You are so skinny - how do you live at buffets?"It doesn’t make any sense to me at all! My mom always tells me that when I get older I’m going to have to work out. I’m enjoying my skinny while it lasts."
What advice do you have for anyone who is stressed out over Thanksgiving?"I would say don’t be stressed, and plan ahead. Make basic, classic dishes like turkey and stuffing and yams. Just make sure you don’t end up going to McDonald’s because you are so stressed."
Nate Berkus Hospitalized
(PEOPLE) -- Talk show host Nate Berkus has been hospitalized and is expected to undergo surgery for appendicitis. "He was on the 'Today' show this morning and he wasn't feeling well," a rep for the company that produces "The Nate Berkus Show" tells PEOPLE exclusively. "He powered through and then went straight to the hospital after that and they learned he had appendicitis." Berkus, 39, had complained that he was under the weather, but didn't cancel his appearance. "He was in a lot of pain," adds the rep. "I don't think people realized how ill he was." This will mean a schedule setback for the Oprah Winfrey disciple, whose own show debuted in September. "He had to postpone tapings for now. He would have taped two shows today," according to the rep. "It's anticipated that he will be back next week." For now, Berkus is "resting and he's expected to have an appendectomy," says the rep. "Doctors expect a quick recovery."
Bosnian Rape Victims Protest Angelina Jolie Movie in Letter to U.N.
Angelina Jolie is the target of more criticism over her feature directorial debut, a love story set during the Bosnian War. The actress -- who recently cut short the film's shoot after rumors that it portrayed a relationship between a rapist and his victim sparked protests -- was called "ignorant" on Monday by a group of women who were victims of sexual violence during the 1990s war, the AFP reported. In a letter to the United Nations refugee agency, for which Jolie is a goodwill ambassador, the Women Victims of War said its members are "deeply concerned about the movie." "Angelina Jolie's ignorant attitude towards victims says enough about the scenario and gives us the right to continue having doubts about it," the letter read. After rumors of the rapist love story line surfaced in October, a group of Bosnian War rape victims pressured city officials to withdraw Jolie's filming permit. The rumors proved to be untrue, and after the country's minister of culture read the script -- about a Bosnian woman who falls in love with a Serb man -- the permit was reinstated. However, Jolie earlier this month cut the shooting schedule from 10 days to three and decided to film some of the scenes originally planned for Bosnia in Hungary instead.
At the time, Jolie said she wanted to meet with the groups that complained to clear up any misunderstanding, but no meeting ever transpired. "We have insisted to meet Angelina Jolie since we don't want to be wrongly presented in the world ... Our voices are worthwhile and we should have got much more respect," the WVW letter read. "Angelina made a big mistake. We feel that she did not act like a real UNHCR ambassador and we believe that she has no more credibility to remain the ambassador," the letter concluded.
