Stop what you're doing, and enjoy one of the most pleasant interactions you'll see today. In a visit to Snoop Lion's Tha Double Gangsta Hood News Network, Larry King asked Snoop to teach him to rap. He should have asked him about reggae, because that's Snoop's thing now, but all is forgiven, because what follows is a delight.

A new song and video called "Whole Foods Parking Lot," starring David Wittman of fledgling Bay Area collective Fog and Smog, confronts the challenges involved in shopping at Whole Foods head on, with an emphasis on the parking situation.

It's a grab bag this week! One of (almost) everything!Pilot: Wendy O'Brien is casting the MTV comedy pilot "Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous," scheduled for a June shoot.

I'm waiting to hear on start dates for both of these films.
