It is said that when a butterfly flaps its wings in one region of the earth, it could alter the weather patterns in a completely different part of the world. Known as the "butterfly effect," the theory suggests that the small gust of wind a butterfly produces on its morning quest for nectar could actually lead to a tsunami or tornado elsewhere. And though this sort of causation is no more than just a theory, the butterfly effect is a reminder that even the smallest of actions can have the greatest impact.

Dr. Dre wants to be a fixture at the Los Angeles games in 2028. After a highly successful Summer Olympic Games in Paris, they passed the flag over to Los Angeles. The City of Angels is hosting the event in 2028, and it will certainly be a star-studded affair. Long Beach native Snoop Dogg, who served as a correspondent during the last two Games, will be unlikely to miss such a homecoming opportunity. The same goes for his partner-in-crime, Dr. Dre. Dre and Snoop performed at a special event on Venice Beach to celebrate the handoff. Now, Dre confirms that he will be in Los Angeles in four years. It is reasonable to assume that he will perform at the opening ceremony. However, he surprised fans when he told Nischelle Turner of Entertainment Tonight that he plans to try out for Olympic competition.
