Fans Pay Tribute To Nate Dogg In California

Nate DoggHundreds of fans flocked to pay tribute to late hip-hop star Nate Dogg at a public viewing of his body in California on Friday.

The 41 year old died last week after a long battle with ill health and his loyal devotees were given a chance to say goodbye at the New Hope Baptist Church in his native Long Beach, California ahead of a planned funeral on Saturday.

Hundreds queued up outside the church as they waited to go inside and many left notes and tributes to the late star as they paid their last respects.

Nate Dogg's family has made 1,000 tickets available for his funeral at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, which will be followed later in the day by a memorial service.

The latest Jimmer tribute song features some notable cameos

In addition to being tops in the nation in scoring, Jimmer Fredette also is among college basketball's leaders in one other category: cheesy tribute videos.

The latest effort comes from a star-studded foursome calling themselves the "Jimmer Jammers" and featuring Arrow 103.5 morning DJ Jon Carter, former BYU football coach LaVell Edwards, ex-Cougars tight end Chad Lewis and former NBA center Shawn Bradley. They've released a song called "You've been Jimmer'd" sung to the tune of Bon Jovi's 1986 anthem, "Wanted Dead or Alive."

Most music videos celebrating an athlete or team are hopelessly awful, but this one has some surprisingly fun moments.

There's an off-key Lavell Edwards belting the chorus clad in a black cowboy hat and shades. There's Bradley and Lewis both strumming guitars while wearing ridiculous rockstar wigs. Plus the song's somewhat catchy, even if some of the lyrics would make the Black Eyed Peas cringe.

Case in point, the chorus, which goes: "He's a Cougar. And he's always a threat. He's Jimmer. Jimmer Fredette."

Nonetheless, the song is easily the best of the Jimmer genre besides the two heartfelt tributes created by the BYU star's older brother, rapper T.J. Fredette. With Selection Sunday still more than a month away, we'll see if any other creative BYU fans can top it.

(Thanks, College Basketball Nation)

Tom Jones' New Album Is Tribute To The King

Tom JonesTom Jones' new album is a tribute to his late pal Elvis Presley - the Welsh singer promised The King he would one day record gospel songs.

The music veteran moved away from pop to release Praise & Blame, a compilation of hymns and gospel tracks, over the summer.

Jones admits he has wanted to release a gospel album ever since Presley suggested it during a late night jam session, and the Sex Bomb hit-maker was determined to keep his word.

He says, "We would stay up all night talking about music. He was surprised I knew gospel songs and wanted to know when I'd record a gospel album. I said I would and this is it."
