VH1 greenlights ‘Martha & Snoop’s Dinner Party’ for fall premiere

NEW YORK, Aug. 8 (UPI) — Lifestyle expert Martha Stewart and rapper Snoop Dogg are to co-host a series of celebrity dinner parties for a show to debut this fall on VH1.

“Each will invite celebrity friends over for a half-baked evening of cocktails, cooking, conversation, and fun where nothing is off limits,” a press release promised. “The unlikely pair, who most recently were on ABC’s 100,000 Pyramid, have quite a storied history that includes joint appearances on Martha’s talk show and the famed Justin Bieber Comedy Central Roast among others.”

“At our dinner party, we will exemplify America’s fascination with food, entertaining and celebrity. Martha & Snoop’s Dinner Party will redesign the traditional food competition shows in a new, different and very funny way,” Stewart said in a statement.

“My home-girl, Martha, and I have a special bond that goes back. We’re gonna be cooking, drinking and having a good time with our exclusive friends. Can’t wait for you to see how we roll together!” added Snoop Dogg.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg, two of pop culture’s biggest icons,” remarked VH1 and Logo President Chris McCarthy. “Good parties are filled with fun, food and unexpected guests. Wait til you see what happens at Martha & Snoop’s Dinner Party; it will be unforgettable.”
