We weren’t sure what would happen when the domestic goddess invited Snoop into her kitchen … but we certainly didn’t expect Martha to let loose her inner rapper!
Who knew Martha Stewart could hold a beat? Apparently all she needed was a little help from the rap master himself, Snoop D-o-to-the-Double G, who stopped by her daytime talk show this week in a segment that airs on Friday, Dec. 18. (Click here for a sneak peek!)
“Can’t you rap while we’re doing this?” Martha asks Snoop Dogg, who was there to promote his album, Malice N Wonderland (which hit stores Dec. 8), as the two begin baking brownies.
Snoop held his own. “Trying to make some brownies but we missing the most important part of the brownies,” he sings as Martha chimes in, “which is, which is.”
“No sticks, no seeds, no stems,...

Billy Joel has a new girlfriend again. Monday night the piano man stepped out with a young, Katie Lee-esque brunette named Deborah Dampiere for the opening of 'Tosca' at the Metropolitan Opera. Joel, who announced his split from third wife Lee in June, was dating former 'Young and the Restless' star Alex Donnelly just a few weeks later. When reporters at the Met asked Joel about his divorce proceedings right in front of his date, he brushed off his publicist's attempts to quiet them, The New York Observer reports. "It's a free country, she can ask whatever she wants," he told the publicist. "How are the divorce proceedings going? I don't know. Ask my lawyer." "For now, I'm enjoying dating this lovely lady," he later added. Get HuffPost Entertainment On Facebook and Twitter!...

Deborah Dampiere and Billy Joel. From PatrickMcMullan.com. Who and what were up and down last night and why. ↓ Movin' Up a Little Too Fast: His June split from wife Katie Lee seems to be a mere blip on the radar screen for Billy Joel, who looked to be coping well at last night's Metropolitan Opera opening, where he escorted his new girlfriend, Deborah Dampiere. ↑ High-Pressure Hosting: Tom and Kathy Freston took entertaining to a whole new level when they opened up their home for a reception attended by Carla Bruni and Queen Rania—likely the highest compliment one's house can be paid.
