LOS ANGELES -- An actress has sued rapper Snoop Dogg and MTV over an episode of the television show "Doggy Fizzle Televizzle," in which she claimed she was unwittingly made to appear as if she were naked and engaging in sexual relations with another actor.

In a lawsuit filed Friday, Doris Burns accuses Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, and MTV of breach of contract, fraud, invasion of privacy and defamation. She is seeking unspecified damages.

A spokeswoman for MTV, which produced and aired the show, said the company does not comment on pending litigation. Messages left over the weekend for Snoop Dogg's attorney were not returned.

Burns alleges that during the filming of a scene for the sketch comedy show hosted by Snoop Dogg, the show's producers wanted it to appear that she was having sex with an actor playing her husband.

According to the suit, she refused. But she did agree to wear a tank top and underwear and hold the hand of the actor while sitting on the bed.

When the show aired Aug. 31, the episode looked very different because her torso and both actors' hands were blurred, according to the suit.

Yeah, exactly. Plus it's kinda fucked up that she sued Snoop even though he most likely didn't have anything to do with the fact that the scene came out like that. You'd think that if she wants money MTV would be rich enough, but I guess it's some sort of rule that you got to sue the celebrity too if they're involved in the situation in any kinda way. Like here - Snoop's the host & starring actor, but he sure ain't writing the show or producing it. (At least as far as I know.)

Well somehow i agree. I mean we care too much about those lawsuits shit. I'm a lawyer myself, let's not talk about those things here too! ROFL! I mean it aint even music-related. Somebody sued Snoop. Ok. Snoop's mother sued Suge Knight. Ok. What's the next Snoop Dogg CD/project? Feel me?
