Snoop Lion gives a public show of support to Aaron Hernandez

Once upon a time, Snoop Dogg rapped "Murder Was the Case," so maybe it shouldn't be too surprising he's defending Aaron Hernandez, who is being held on a first-degree murder charge. Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Lion, which we think he wants to be called now) also loves attention, so we really shouldn't be surprised he is one of the few people who has publicly sided with Hernandez. Snoop posted a picture of himself and Hernandez on Instagram with the caption, "Keep ya head up !! We prayn 4 ya." (H/T to USA Today.) The response has been mostly negative – also not surprising. Many comments (at least the ones that didn't confuse Hernandez with George Zimmerman) angrily criticized Snoop for defending someone who is being charged for murder. Let's just say we can't publish most of the comments here on a family friendly blog. But at this point, Hernandez will likely take any support he can get.

Miley Cyrus Defending Weed Vs, Alcohol.

Former child star Miley Cyrus has defended her decision to smoke weed, insisting it is far less dangerous than alcohol.

The singer/actress, who shot to fame as Disney's Hannah Montana, landed in hot water in 2010 when she was caught on film allegedly smoking pot from a bong.

She has also recently joined cannabis fan Snoop Dogg in the studio for a track called Ashtrays and Heartbreak, and has now opened up on her feelings on using the drug.

In a candid new interview with Rolling Stone, she was asked if she is a "stoner", and the 20-year-old replied, "You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes. I did a song with Snoop Dogg called Ashtrays and Heartbreak, so people can put it together for themselves.

"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana. People can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care. I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed.

"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things... And it's legal in the state of California, so I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."
