GETTING Snoop Dogg to star in Just Eat’s new advert was Nuthin But A Fee Thang for the legendary rapper.
He has banked more than £5million since becoming the face of the takeaway delivery service’s latest advertising drive.
Not a bad deal given all he does is give the brand’s irritating theme song, Did Somebody Say Just Eat, his own twist.
At the beginning of the video, which has been watched more than 6.5million times on YouTube, he can be heard saying he’s “sick” of the song, before taking over the show with his own version.
A music insider said: “Snoop has banked over £5million since he landed the deal.
“It’s easy money and the adverts have proved a hit with audiences.
“Snoop is a legendary character so the negotiation took time and plenty of cash.
“But having him on board has not only driven sales, it’s given the brand a massive boost.
“People have been going mad for it on social media, it’s easily Just Eat’s most successful advert.
“The campaign will be rolled out across Europe and Australia this month and there have been some discussions about North America too.
“The deal has been a massive success for all involved — Snoop’s laughing all the way to the bank.”
It’s not the first big-money gig the Nuthin But A G’Thang star — worth more than £100million — has landed.
In the past year alone Snoop has also appeared in ads for Burger King, Dunkin’ Donuts and, incredibly, another for pork scratchings.
If someone offered me a seven-figure sum to be the new face of Mr Porky, I reckon I wouldn’t be saying no.
NOEL Gallagher doing drugs at No10 is one of the most famous tales in rock ’n’ roll history.
But it turns out the Oasis man wreaked more havoc after going to Downing Street with his then partner Meg Mathews in 1997 to meet PM Tony Blair.
The band’s press officer, Johnny Hopkins, has revealed Noel drew a Hitler moustache on a picture of the former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Johnny said: “I felt that sense of triumph at getting the Tories out and Labour in, but I still had a bad feeling they would not be everything we hoped for and that people would see Oasis as part of the establishment.
“Noel scrawled a Hitler moustache on a framed photograph of Margaret Thatcher. Maybe it was worth it just for that.”
Noel’s visit to No10 and the image of him shaking hands with Blair defined the Nineties’ Cool Britannia era.
It later transpired that the Labour leader was worried about inviting the Gallaghers – and he was right.
In Britpop book Don’t Look Back In Anger, published last year, Noel says: “Did I do coke in there? I’m saying f**k all. I’ve got three kids now.”
I think that’s enough confirmation.

WITH his booming voice it’s hard to imagine Sir Tom Jones being quiet.
But he was so silent at birth it was feared he was dead – and his gran spun him round her head to revive him.
In Radio 2 documentary Sir Tom’s Musical Years this Saturday, to mark his 80th birthday the next day, he says: “When I was born they thought I was stillborn because I didn’t make a sound.
“The midwife said to my mother, ‘I am awfully sorry. He isn’t breathing’.
“So thank God my grandmother was there.
“She said, ‘Just a minute’.
“She brought in a bucket of cold water and grabbed me by the ankles, dipped me in it and spun me around her head by my ankles.”
A music industry without Sir Tom would be a bleak place.
