Rapper Snoop Dogg is vying for some vampire love. A devoted “True Blood” fan, the artist released a new music video reaffirming his “True Blood” devotion, reports MTV.com. “Oh Sookie,” a homage to the show’s Sookie Stackhouse (actress Anna Paquin), was released on Thursday on HBO.com. The song offers Snoop Dogg’s best sexual seduction tips in an attempt to insert himself into the love triangle between Sookie, Eric and Bill on the show.

This is the second time the vampire show’s most prominent fan has made a shout-out. Snoop Dogg previously mentioned the show in his 2009 song “Gangsta Love.”

The Twitterverse seems to be loving Snoop Dogg’s latest venture.

Just a day after the Grammys, music’s biggest stars gathered together to re-record “We Are the World,” EW.com reports.   The song, written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, first debuted in1985 with the voices of more than 30 top performers.

This time around, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Jennifer Hudson, Pink, Nicole Richie, and Snoop Dogg were among the 81 performers went to the original recording studio to record the new version of “We Are the World.”  Proceeds from the single, which will be unveiled during the Olympics later this month, will benefit earthquake victims in Haiti.  The recording session came just a few days after the 25th anniversary of the song’s original release.

Tweeps expressed interest in hearing the new version of “We are The World,” with some wondering if the remake will live up to the original version:

1.

“American Idol” judge Simon Cowell also organized a recording session to benefit Haiti, EW.com also reports.  Jon Bon Jovi, Miley Cyrus, Susan Boyle, Rod Stewart, Michael Buble and James Blunt were among the singers who gathered in the studio to re-ecord R.E.M.’s hit single “Everybody Hurts.”

The Twitterverse seems conflicted over the R.E.M. remake, even though it is for charity.  Some applaud the new version while others say some songs are better off left alone:

Music festival Lollapalooza finished its fifth year in Chicago’s Grant Park Sunday night, after three days of rock concerts in rain and high temperatures. But the weather didn’t deter the more than 75,000 festival-goers who showed up for the diverse lineup, which included Depeche Mode, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, Snoop Dogg, Kings of Leon, and more than 120 other acts.

Attendees twittered from the festival as it came to a close with performances from The Killers and Jane’s Addiction:

fallenmarsgirl: @killhannah: Note to self-remember to bring jetpack to lollapalooza next year. My faves overlapped each other Id need a time machine lol

elisesommers: Watching The Killers close Lollapalooza… and pretty sure these were three of the most awesome days I’ve ever had.

Many others in the Twitterverse tweeted their regret over missing the weekend’s shows:

Though he may seem an unlikley music star, Pope Benedict XVI has signed a major record deal with Geffen Records, whose artists include Snoop Dogg and Ashlee Simpson.

According to USA Today, the pope will release “Alma Mater,” featuring chants and prayers to the Virgin Mary along with eight original classical compositions, on Nov. 30.

A portion of the profits from sales will support music education for underprivileged children around the world.

Twitterers found humor in the news:

1.

According to Billboard.com, nearly 150 acts performed across six stages during the annual three-day music festival known as Bonnaroo.

Known for it’s “Woodstock-esque” feel, Bonnaroo, a New Orleans slang word meaning “a really good time,” takes place every June on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee.

This year’s big name bands included the Beastie Boys, Elvis Costello, the Decemberists, Al Green, Nine Inch Nails, Phish, Public Enemy, Snoop Dogg, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band and Wilco.

Ashley Capps, president of A.C. Entertainment (the co-producers of Bonnaroo with Superfly Presents), said she believes this year’s show was the best yet, with a record attendance of nearly 75,000.

“Each year we try to raise the bar in every facet of the festival. You have to keep evolving, you don’t want to stay static or you go backwards. Every year you want to look back and say ‘wow this was better than the last year,’” Superfly’s Jonathan Mayers added.

Bonnaroo survivors on Twitter had random thoughts to share as their weekends came to a close:

1.
