You wouldn't have guessed it, but Snoop Dogg is a pretty charitable guy! He was all for playing at Tuesday night's Pussycat Dolls concert in New York to benefit UNICEF -- that is once they forked over $150,000…and flew in 10 members of his crew first-class…and got him an Xbox. In fact, Snoop almost refused to perform at the last minute because "he insisted on having an Xbox in his dressing room," an insider tells Page Six. And once Snoop got his game on with some kid's Xbox, he was an hour late getting to the stage because he was having so much fun! Yeah -- it's really hard being Snoop D-O-double-G.

P.S. -- While Snoop was taking his sweet time, the Dolls filled the dead air with chatter and pulled a total Jessica Simpson: one of them thanked "Unicel" instead of "UNICEF." Yes, this is why they should stick to singing instead of speaking.
