Many a joke has been aimed at Chris Bosh and his unusually extraterrestrial appearance, but never has his lineage been so precisely traced. For the sake of historical record, we felt compelled to share this with you.

The White Sox were graced by the presence of the Doggfather, Snoop Scorcese, the D-O-double-gizzle, etc., today, when the rapper threw out the first pitch. And considering all the bad ceremonial first pitches we’ve seen lately, this one was pretty good. But it was up in the strike zone. It was near the letters. It was not a strike, by virtue of it being above the strike zone. Know what I mean? Video after the jump.

California rapper and noted Laker fan Snoop Dogg routinely relays his thoughts on the team through his widely-read Twitter account, which boasts over 5.5 million followers. Last night, as the Lakers fell to the Clippers 108-103 during the final preseason game of the season, Snoop-a-loop seemed angry. And guess who got the brunt of that anger? Yep! His old pal, Pau Gasol.

Pau Gasol’s lackluster 2011 playoff output has led some to charge that he is, and forever will be, a big softie. But one LA rapper has some advice for the big Euro: put some hood in your game.

We all love the cantina scene from Star Wars.  We all love random celebrity cameos.  And I think we can all agree that there’s nothing cooler than the idea of Snoop Dogg wielding a lightsaber. And if you do agree – we’ve got the clip for you!

It’s not as much of an odd couple scenario as when he interviewed Snoop Dogg, but it should certainly make for interesting television when Larry King’s newly-announced interview/H-O-R-S-E game with LeBron James, taped in James’ hometown of Akron, Ohio today, airs on CNN this Friday.
