Snoop Dogg Congratulates Porn Star For His Shoot at the Coliseum
We're guessing that the reporters who broke the story that "The Gangbang Girl #32" had been shot at L.A.'s Memorial Coliseum in 2001 were looking into evidence of public corruption or something serious. Given the recent allegations against former top execs, we're curious about just who knew that a porn shoot was taking place in the middle of the stadium—and what they might have received in exchange.
But for now, the star of the porn Mr. Marcus is enjoying mainstream notoriety over a decade after the film's release. He's been getting calls, texts and e-mails all morning congratulating him on his, uh, achievement. His mom called him up today to congratulate him and so did Snoop Dogg, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"[Snoop Dogg] was excited," Mr. Marcus told The Times. "He wants a copy of the movie. I told him I tried to get it for him in exchange for some tickets to the Powerhouse concert."
Mr. Marcus doesn't remember the premise of the film (like everyone else who watched it we're sure) except that it involved football players and cheerleaders and a memorable location.

He told the Times, "I've made movies for about 20 years and I've done a lot of things, but that one really stands out.... I mean, who gets to have sex on the Coliseum floor?"
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
