Rapper Snoop Dogg is launching a bid to become the new Ozzy Osbourne with a new reality TV show about his family.

According to US TV network E! Entertainment the new programme will be "hilarious and heart-warming� � which will no doubt really enhance the hip-hop legend�s street cred.

TV bod Ted Harbert hammers some more nails in by gushing, �The juggling act that Snoop faces day-in, day-out between career and family is certain to resonate with our viewers.�

Well, that and the repeated firearms charges and weed habit.
