Russell Crowe Attempts To Help Snoop Dogg's Tour Plans

Snoop Dogg has a fan in actor Russell Crowe, who is trying to get the Australian Government to approve the rapper's visa so that he can tour there later this year.

Dogg should be touring with Ice Cube in October, but is having trouble with the government. Now the Hollywood star has written to officials, saying in a letter:

"I submit to you that Snoop Dogg poses no threat to Australia or to any individual in this country."

"He has toured here three times before without incident and there are no reasons to assume this tour will be anything but the positive experience the last three have been."

"Snoop has built a stellar reputation with promoters and audiences worldwide."
