WHAT NEXT, SNOOP GODZILLA?

Rapper Snoop Dogg is moving up in the world. He's now Snoop Lion.

The United States hiphop star said he decided to change his wacky stage name during a visit to a Rastafarian temple in Jamaica, where he'd gone to record reggae tracks.

"I want to bury Snoop Dogg and become Snoop Lion," the singer, wearing a Rasta knitted hat and dark glasses, said at a press conference on Monday posted on his www.snoopdogg.com website.

Snoop, whose legal name is Calvin Broadus, said he went to Jamaica to get close to reggae legend Bob Marley's roots. While visiting a Rastafarian temple, "the high priest" told him his name was no longer Dogg.
