Reddit loves Snoop Lion

It looks like Snoop Lion's evolution to icon status is complete: Mashable reports that the rapper's AMA on Reddit was the site's 2nd biggest, behind only President Barack Obama's. He drew in more Redditors than the likes of Louis C.K. and Neil DeGrasse Tyson, answering questions (mostly) about weed (one Redditor commented: "From this thread I've gathered that he's always high, for everything").

And if there was any question about it, Snoop confirmed his Internet-brand of epicness with a rap battle against Santa Claus:

Edward Norton, Snoop Dogg to play “Words with Friends” for charity

Wed, 26 Sep 2012 12:43:00 +0000

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Look out, Alec Baldwin.

Edward Norton, Jonah Hill, Snoop Dogg and several other stars are slated to play in a celebrity tournament of the popular online game "Words With Friends" for charity. The celebs will begin facing off against each other in matches of Zynga's Scrabble-like word-building game on Thursday.

Norton, who is playing for the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Fund, is confident that he will dominate the tournament, which also includes such celebrity players as Eva Longoria, Kristen Bell and John Legend — but not Baldwin — vying for $500,000 in prize money for their charities from American Express.

"I have to give myself time-outs on 'Words With Friends,'" said Norton in a telephone interview Monday. "I've gone through phases where I'm like, 'What am I doing? This is much too much of my day.'"

"Words With Friends" players will be able to join their favorite stars' teams during the "Words With Friends Celebrity Challenge," as well as watch the celebrity matchups online and donate to their charities through Norton's fundraising site, CrowdRise.com.
