It's only a matter of time before Charlie Sheen's face is plastered next to the word 'winning' in the dictionary -- but for now, he'll just have to settle for a 'Winning' musical collaboration with Snoop Dogg.
Although the entire song will not premiere in full until it drops on iTunes tonight at midnight, E! Online has the warlock and the Dogg's video preview of the musical snack -- and we have a feeling with the amount of puff puff pass going on in the video, some literal snacks were involved in the making of the video as well.
Sheen debuted the collaboration with Snoop and Filter guitarist, Rob Patterson, at the Detroit stop for his 'Violent Torpedo of Truth' tour last month but after being booed off the stage, he ripped the video from the majority of his latter national appearances.
"Well, the genesis of the song is about, you know, winning," Sheen told E! "I think Snoop did a really good job at kind of encapsulating the whole vibe of, you know, the movement."
But the single won't only further catapult Sheen into winning warlock status, it will also help victims of the tornadoes that hit the South last month -- a portion of the proceeds from 'Winning' will be donated to Sheen's 'Torpedos Against Tornados' initiative.
Although the jury is still out on whether 'Winning' will be an actual success, Sheen is counting his tour as one for the maniacal.
"Overall as a grade on this as a team I think we went 17 [wins] and 4 [losses]," Sheen said. "I know there's a couple in there that felt sorta phoned in but gave me the inspiration for the following night when it was all passion and lunacy."
'Passion and Lunacy' -- we couldn't have said it better.

Rebecca Black’s sudden hit single “Friday” recently took the web world by storm. And, while celebrities have mixed opinions on the overnight internet sensation, Snoop Dogg is on the 13-year-old artist’s side.
“I thought it was dope,” Snoop told OK! exclusively at the 2011 Kid’s Choice Awards in L.A. on Saturday of Rebecca’s unexpected hit song, “I love sensations like that, you know, things that become hot.”
The seasoned rapper even had some advice for the young new star on what she should be working on for the future.
“Make another one! Call it “Saturday” come on back!” Snoop joked to OK! at USC’s Galen Center of what Rebecca should call her next song.
Rebecca recently spoofed herself on April Fool’s day, taking over the site Funny or Die.

From warlock to recording artist, Charlie Sheen has been making some major moves in the past few months. His latest? He's recording a song with Snoop Dogg.
According to PEOPLE, Sheen and Snoop have recorded a song for Sheen's upcoming 20-city tour, 'My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option Show.' The first show is set to hit the stage in Detroit this weekend, so we have a feeling our ears will be tickled with Sheen and Snoop Dogg's jingle soon enough.
Word of the song first came to light after Sheen tweeted a photo of himself, the rapper and producer, Rob Patterson, getting down to business in the studio. What we wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall when those two were pitching lyric ideas to one another.
Sheen tweeted, "Warlock meets his makers-music makers that is @SnoopDogg @robpatterson666 get ready to rock the Sheenius within!"
Snoop, himself, has also been quite the busy doggie lately. According to Billboard, he just released his album, 'Doggumentary,' and is also in talks to appear in a comedy alongside fellow rapper, Wiz Khalifa.

Snoop Dogg is being accused of promoting underage drinking, by "alcohol industry watchdog" the Marin Institute, for his endorsement of Blast by Colt 45.
The group is accusing Snoop of using his popularity to encourage minors to drink the beverage, produced by the Pabst Brewing Company. In an attempt to halt the production of beverages like Blast, which contain both alcohol and soda, Marin reached out to California State Senator Alex Padilla to ban the drink and others like it.
"While the federal government was shutting down dangerous caffeinated alcohol, Pabst Brewing Company was cooking up 'Blast,' a super sweet, fruit-flavored, supersized alcopop containing as much alcohol as four and a half cans of beer," said Marin CEO Bruce Lee Livingston. "Joose, Four Loko, Tilt and now Blast are racing to the bottom to harm youth. Senator Padilla's bill should limit such products to one standard-size drink."
Livingston argues that Snoop's affiliation with the brand is directly related to the injuries reported by numerous college students between of the ages of 17 and 19. The institute reported that more than 2 million youth illegally drink alcohol in the state of California, costing the state $7.3 billion a year.
Last year, the federal government banned seven alcoholic beverages containing caffeine, including Four Loko and Joose, but Marin hopes to get more off of the market. Blast, a fruit flavored drink, contains 12 percent alcohol in a 23 ounce can and features labels resembling bubble gum wrappers, which some argue directly targets young people. The drink is scheduled to hit shelves next month.
Snoop Dogg has established a memorial trust fund for the family of late hip-hop star Nate Dogg.
According to Snoop's website, the trust "has been set up for expenses of services and the financial
security of Nate's children. 100% of all donations will be given to Nate Dogg's family."
Nate Dogg (born Nathaniel Hale) passed away earlier this month at just 41 from complications resulting from multiple strokes. The late singer was plagued with health issues for several years, and it has been reported he suffered strokes in both 2007 and 2008.
Snoop Dogg, who first collaborated with Nate Dogg in the early '90s, took to Twitter to express his heartbreak over his friend's death. "I am so sad but so happy I got to grow up wit u and I will c u again n heaven cuz u know d slogan all doggs go to heaven yo homie n baby brotha bigg snoopdogg!!" he wrote.

Rap icon Snoop Dogg and upstart Wiz Khalifa are teaming for a new film, "High School," which the former calls "a comedy stoner movie, a little something for the stoners."
Snoop told Billboard.com that the duo -- who also joined forces for the song "This Weed is Mine" for his forthcoming "Doggumentary" album -- will begin filming during the first week of May, and that the project grew out of a musical collaboration with the Pittsburgh MC. "Just being a fan of his music and likewise, he called me to be on a remix," Snoop said after his performance Saturday night at SXSW. "And from the remix, we became close friends and spent time together...[we] made six or seven songs and created an idea to do a movie and a soundtrack, and just a bond -- to build a friendship and build a brotherhood."
There's no timetable yet for the release and distribution of the "High School" film and soundtrack. Snoop starred in the 2010 movie "Malice in Wonderland," while Khalifa is getting set for the Mar. 29 release of his major label debut, "Rolling Papers." The same day, meanwhile, Snoop drops "Doggumentary," which is designed as a sequel to his 1993 debut album, "Doggystyle." Snoop said that the album is "about going back to the studio and trying to make something that feels good, trying to make something that makes people feel good. [It's] just speaking from the heart; that's what people tend to relate to more than anything, not a scripted plan or some sort of gimmick but more heartfelt music that feels good to me. And I know it's going to feel good to you, 'cause usually if it feels good to me it'll feel good to you, too."
The 21-track set features the singles "Wet" and "Bloom," as well as guest appearances by Bootsy Collins, Gorillaz, Kanye West, John Legend, Eminem hype man Denaun Porter, T-Pain, Young Jeezy and more. Producers include West, Porter, Kelly, Damon Albarn, Swizz Beatz, J-Kown and others.

Snoop Dogg has entered the holiday fray, folks. Wearing a Santa hat, a furry coat, and a festive snowman sweater, the rapper hit YouTube to read a slightly modified Christmas classic.
Kicking off 'The Night Before Christmas,' Mr. Dogg quickly veers off course: "The whole world was just chillin', waitin' on Santa Claus." Of course they were, Snoop.
It's really just a glorified Pepsi Max ad, but it's good. Makes us feel warm and fuzzy (and thirsty?) inside. See for yourself:

Snoop was all over the place this year -- singing 'True Blood' songs, being selected to perform at royal engagement parties, grinding with Demi Moore, and cruising around town with Larry King.
