Snoop Dogg’s 1967 Pontiac Impounded!!!!
Over the holidays, West Coast native, Snoop Dogg got his 1967 Pontiac Parasienne impounded after his friend was pulled over driving the car with a suspended license.
The yellow convertible was hauled off to the impound yard on Christmas Eve. Despite him not being in the car, Snoop still had to pay the $261 fee to free his precious vehicle.
Meanwhile, Keyshia Cole was also a “victim” of impounding when her Mercedes SUV was towed away after her nephew – in Ohio – was caught driving the expensive vehicle while intoxicated.
But the singer didn’t trip about it, as it appears. She hasn’t even gotten the car out of impound yet, but if she does decide to get it, the tab will be $700, plus court fees.

16th Annual African American Festival of ‘First Fruits’ at City Colleges of Chicago
Chicago, Illinois – Malcolm X College, one of the City Colleges of Chicago, will host the 16th Annual Kwanzaa Observance from Sunday, December 26, 2010 to Saturday, January 1, 2011 at 1900 West Van Buren.
The week-long event, produced in collaboration with the Bolozi-Wazee/Shule Ya Watoto (Council of Elders), is the largest seven-day celebration of Kwanzaa held at an institution of higher learning in the nation.
Free and open to the public, the 2010 Kwanzaa Observance will feature live entertainment, cultural activities and an African Marketplace.
Kwanzaa is not a religious holiday, but a cultural one based on various elements of the first harvest celebrations widely celebrated in Africa.
Founded by African-American activist Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa is an opportunity for African-American families to incorporate elements of their cultural heritage into holiday observances and celebrations during the Christmas season.
Malcolm X College doors will open at 10:00 am daily for guests to visit the African Marketplace to learn and purchase traditional clothing, food and beauty items.
Each day of the week-long observance begins with the drum call performed by a trio of drummers. They parade through the building to lead guests to the auditorium for the dedication of the Kwanzaa principle of the day and the lighting of the kinara, the traditional candle holder, followed by cultural entertainment.
