Forget battling supermodels - LA gansta rapper Snoop Dogg and his entourage have shown May Andersen how it's really done by allegedly running riot in Heathrow's Terminal 1 after being refused entry to British Airway's VIP lounge.

Dogg's 30-strong posse was en route to South Africa from the US when the rumpus kicked off, the Evening Standard reports. The VIP snub was apparently provoked by the fact that only a few of them had first-class tickets. They then allegedly became abusive towards airport staff, were "turned away from their flight" and went on the rampage "when police tried to guide them out of the airport" - in the process attacking a duty free shop.

I'll tolerate many things, but the duty free?!!

If he's too cheap to pay for 1st class tickets for his entire entourage he's got no business complaining that they aren't allowed into the 1st class lounge.

He'll probably do a Diana Ross and get away with a fine though.

One man got bailed till mid May, looks like no charges on the others despite the fact the report states that one policeman was 'Thrown across the lounge like a Rag-doll'.

What really pisses me off is that, had a member of the 'little people' behaved like that, not only would they have been arrested and held for days on end, they'd probably have been investigated for possible Terrorism charges while they were at it.
