Rapper SNOOP DOGG can finally enlistment Australia - after officials lifted a ban on him visiting the area.

The Drop It Like It's Hot hitmaker was barred from obtaining a visa because of his criminal record, which include drugs and firearms offences dating punt to 1990.

But he is now free to complete a planned term of enlistment with boyfriend hip-hop star Ice Cube in October (08) after Australia's new government lifted the veto.

Snoop, real name Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr., was refused entry in 2007, which wrecked plans for him to co-host the MTV Australia Video Music Awards.

But officials insist the rapper has been cleared to visit the country for 17 days from October 21.

An immigration officer says, "He has today been assessed under the character test as having passed, so he will be disposed a visa."

But victims of crime groups in Australia tell they will contest the decision.

Angela Conway, of the Australian Family Association, says, "Snoop Dogg trades in toxic messages of menace, violence, misogyny and lawlessness."

Epic washes of crunchy guitar and advanced new chamber music combine in the earth of Kayo Dot. After the progressive metal-oriented Maudlin of the Well disbanded in later 2002, some of the group's members were missed, and a change of focusing was requisite. Toby Driver (vocals, guitar, electronics), Greg Massi (guitar, vocals), Nicholas Kyte (bass, vocals), Sam Gutterman (drums, vocals), and Terran Olson (keyboards, fluting, clarinet, saxophone) carried on and formed Kayo Dot in early 2003. While Maudlin of the Well lived in the metal area, Kayo Dot approached music with a more young classical attitude. Composition was strict and the banding showed interest group in playing concerts the way orchestras do, more schematic and in more traditional venues. Guitars and vocals tranquil drew from the domain of careen and metal, but to tenseness this was a newfangled lot and instruction, concerts contained no Maudlin of the Well material. John Zorn's avant-garde- and experimental-leaning label, Tzadik, issued the band's debut, Choirs of the Eye, in late 2003.

Canadian Idol Top 24: Theo Tams

Theo Tams, 22
Lethbridge, Alta.

Making it to the Canadian Idol Top 24 is a blessing for Theo Tams. And now that he�s here, it�s nothing like he expected for many reasons.

�I try everything once,� says Tams, 22, from Lethbridge, Alta. �The surprise has just been the talent in this pool and I just never expected it to be this good. Compared to other seasons, this talent is really good.�

Though Tams is confident in his ability to sing and perform well, he says it�s hard to tell how far he�ll get because of all that talent surrounding him.

Tams was so nervous to audition in front of the celebrity judges that he walked into the room with huge sweat stains under his arm pits � and they were noticeable.

�I sweat like crazy -- and I mean like crazy -- but I walked in there and they were like �you look really nervous� and I was so nervous,� he says. �And then I sang � they�re like �yeah, that�s it.� They were really supportive.�

That audition was probably the most nervous time for Tams, mostly because it was so unpredictable � he saw people he thought were getting through to the next round of the contest be sent home.

No matter what, being on the show is an experience Tams will never forget.

�The big thing I�ve learned is that you cannot go on that stage in this competition and not know who you are as an artist,� says Tams. �And I already know who I am and what I want to do� you have to go out there as if it�s your last day.�

Ashlee and Pete Fall into Engagement

Looks like Ashlee Simpson can finally rest her head on something real. The pop star and her alt-beau Pete Wentz are engaged, according to a statement posted Wednesday by the couple on the networking site FriendsorEnemies.com. "We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I and we wanted our fans to be the first to know, because you guys are the best. Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged," Simpson wrote. "Thank you for all of your support and well wishes—it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us."A source close to the couple tells E! News that Wentz asked the Simpson family patriarch Joe for his permission at one point over the last two weeks."He doesn't look like it, but Pete is a very traditional guy, and he knows Joe is too," the source said. "He never would have asked her without Joe's permission." Joe likes Wentz because "he is not Nick Lachey," the insider added. "Pete is the furthest thing from a macho man, and Joe likes that.""It just means that he hasn't asked my dad yet," Simpson hinted in February when asked about the "promise ring" she was sporting while taping an interview for Fuse TV's The Sauce. (For the record, she also denied the ever-ready pregnancy rumor.) Simpson and the Fall Out Boy bassist have been dating since late 2006, although both initially denied rumors of a burgeoning romance. But by mid-2007, the starry-eyed duo were all about the relationship dish, with Wentz telling In Touch, "I have never met somebody who makes me feel the way she makes me feel." The couple have dealt with plenty of other types of rumors since, however, including the months-old buzz that Wentz's band was tired of his association with Simpson because of her less-stellar musical pedigree—vicious gossip his mates vehemently denied. Simpson is "nothing short of awesome," guitarist Joe Trohman wrote on his Friends or Enemies blog in December. But although the connection is obviously there, Wentz wouldn't venture so far as to guess what his fiancée might want to wear on the big day. “I would not even try to step in and design Ashlee’s wedding dress,” Wentz told E! Online Senior Editor Marc Malkin on Wednesday—shortly before announcing the big news—while discussing plans for his new clothing line, Clandestine. “I don’t think she would want that—thank God. Anyone who would want a wedding dress designed by me, I would not want to marry them.” So, Vera Wang it is, then.
