Snoop Dogg is desperate for a visa to back to Britain.

The hip-hop star was banned from the UK in 2006 after an altercation at Heathrow Airport, but told The Daily Mirror he has been begging everyone he can think of to help him return.

Snoop said: “I love London and I’m desperate to come back.”

“I’ve called David Beckham, Sir Paul McCartney, hell, I want to get the whole of the Beatles to help me get back in.”

“I’m trying to get through to Madonna as well. I’d love them all to write to the Prime Minister to change his mind.”

The rapper – who now has his own family reality TV show Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood on E! Entertainment – insists he is a reformed man.

He said: “London was one of the first places I came to when I first made it. The people are so warm and friendly and I need to be there for my creativity.”

“So tell my fans I have not forgotten them and I have not given up hope. Shout out to them all – especially the ladies.”

Madonna with David and Lourdes at the Kabbalah Centre in New York (January 16 2009)

Christie’s auction house says a 30-year-old nude photo of Madonna, which earned her a $25 modeling fee, is expected to sell for at least $10,000.

The full frontal image was taken by Lee Friedlander and appeared in Playboy in 1985.

Matthieu Humery, head of Christie’s photography department, says Madonna was a 20-year-old dancer trying to make ends meet when she answered Friedlander’s newspaper ad seeking a nude model in 1979.

He says six photos from the shoot were sold to Playboy and the one up for auction Feb. 12 is “maybe the most explicit one.”

Another photo of Madonna, by Helmut Newton, is also in the auction. In that shot, she is wearing lingerie.

Queen of pop Madonna still manages to look half her age even at 50, and it is all thanks to the rigorous diet and exercise regime her personal trainer Tracy Anderson has put her on.

Madge follows a gruelling two-hour workout six days a week, and Anderson, 33, remains at her side every moment of it.

The trainer had been helping the singer maintain her health even when she was divorcing her hubby Guy Ritchie.

“There are days when she doesn’t feel good and days when she’s having a hard time, but Madonna still works out for two hours whatever,” the Mirror quoted Anderson as saying.

“She’s consistent and she doesn’t ever make excuses. Nothing has changed since the divorce, Madonna hasn’t changed.

“Madonna will never look her age. She doesn’t even look half her age – she looks 19.

“I don’t have to scream at her because she’s so motivated. She organizes her time so she can train – she makes an appointment to do it and she keeps it, but two hours is the most she ever exercises in a day,” she stated.

Madonna was recently described as “half-starved” but Anderson claims that she eats well and even allows herself the occasional treat, which is sugar and gluten-free.

“All my clients eat. Madonna has a very healthy appetite. She doesn’t eat processed food, she’s very conscious of the quality of the things she eats but she has treats – she loves cupcakes,” she said.

“To say she is on a starvation diet is bull****. She burns a lot of calories.

“She will never get fat. Why would she let it go? She relaxes but she’s smart, she knows that if she stops exercising she will have loose skin tone. Why should we criticize someone who works hard, is consistent and gets results because they’re smart with their time?” she added.
