Rap superstar Snoop Dogg has been urged by Palestinian campaigners to cancel an upcoming concert in Israel and join them in “boycotting” the Jewish state.

The Drop It Like It’s Hot hitmaker is scheduled to perform in the country on 18 September - but activists belonging to the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) is calling on Snoop Dogg to follow their example.

Some Like It Hot star Tony Curtis will return to his birth name, Schwartz, for a touching new movie set in Jerusalem.

The ageing movie icon, whose real name is Bernard Schwartz, plays Mr Schwartz in Alain Zaloum’s David + Fatima.

Curtis teams up with Oscar winner Martin Landau, who plays a rabbi in the new film.
