Snoop Dogg and Cookie Monster threw a surprise birthday party for Martha Stewart on her 83rd birthday during the summer games of 2024 that took place in Paris on August 2. The celebrated rapper had built an unlikely friendship with Martha Stewart ever since he first appeared on The Martha Stewart Show in 2008.

To make it even more interesting, the famous blue muppet from Sesame Street called Cookie Monster came along to celebrate Martha’s birthday. 

Snoop, 52, marked this special day by joining hands with Cookie Monster as an iconic Muppet, joined by Scott Evans of Access Hollywood. In a TikTok video posted by the outlet, the blue Muppet greeted Stewart and wished her a happy birthday, as Snoop joined in. When Martha saw them, she was elated.

In one funny moment, Cookie Monster spelled out their names, emphasizing how they have double letters. The Muppet said, “We got D-o-double-g meets C-double-o-k-i-e.” As they were laughing softly at each other’s names, Cookie Monster uncovered the cone-shaped birthday cake made of macarons. 

Stewart acknowledged this act by saying what a nice guy he was! Again, another Tiktok clip showed Snoop Dogg and Cookie Monster dancing beside the cake while playing his 2004 hit Drop It Like It’s Hot.

Three months after rescheduling the remainder of their farewell Peace Out tour, Aerosmith has officially announced their retirement from touring amid vocalist Steven Tyler’s ongoing vocal cord injury. The rock band took to their social media accounts on Friday, August 2, to share a lengthy statement announcing the news.

“It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith. Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades. Some of you have been with us since the beginning, and all of you are the reason we make rock ‘n’ roll history,” the statement noted, adding, “It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours.”
