Snoop Dogg says he hopes to open burger van at Celtic Park
The West Coast rapper has previously spoken of investing in the Glasgow football club, similar to Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds's involvement with Wrexham FC.
Snoop Dogg has already published a cookbook and claims to have spoken to chef Gordon Ramsay about a possible venture in Glasgow together – but he has now revealed he wants to set up a fast-food van at Celtic's stadium in the city's east end.
He has described Celtic supporters as 'special' and the best fans in European football, and said he identifies strongly with the club's mascot Hoopy the Hound – describing it in a previous interview as a 'match made in heaven'.
The keen sports fan worked as a correspondent for NBC at the Paris Olympics last year, has launched two youth football leagues, and has been a vocal advocate for pay equality for female athletes.
He told the Sunday Mail that Celtic fans would support the burger van and that it would become a foodie 'Paradise' – the nickname give to Celtic Park.
He said: 'I would love to bring a pop-up burger (van) to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good.
'It's got to be Celtic Park, man. The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple-cured bacon.
'The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.'
But he said he would not be taking his culinary ventures to Celtic's Old Firm rivals at Ibrox.
Snoop told the Sunday Mail: 'Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss.'

Snoop Dogg plans to open burger truck at iconic UK football stadium - and even wants to serve fans himself
Snoop Dogg plans to open a burger truck at an iconic UK football stadium. American rapper, 53, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, has taken an interest in Celtic Park - the home of Scottish Premiership team Celtic, in the Parkhead area of Glasgow. World away from his California roots - Snoop has spoken in the past of his love for the team saying he was inspired by Ryan Reynolds' transformation of Wrexham. He has told The Sunday Mail: 'I would love to bring a pop-up burger [van] to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. 'It's got to be Celtic Park, man. The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple-cured bacon. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.' He cheekily added: 'Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss.' He also claims to have spoken to famous chef Gordon Ramsay about the possible business opportunity. Last October Snoop revealed his plans to invest in Celtic, taking inspiration from Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The Hollywood duo took over Welsh side Wrexham for just short of £2million in November 2020, when they were in the fifth tier of English football and had been for nearly 15 years. But they earned promotion to League Two two seasons later in winning the National League, and they secured a consecutive promotion the year after to take their spots in League One. And it seems the club's owners' work is rubbing off on millionaire rapper Snoop Dogg. Speaking to the Daily Record, the 53-year-old, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, has outlined his desire to become involved with sport, and in particular Celtic. 'I love what Ryan has done with Wrexham,' he said. 'It's just a great story. 'Investing in a sports team has been something I have been looking at for a long time. 'If the chance came to invest in Celtic, I would be crazy not to take a look at it. 'I have watched so much soccer in Europe but I have never seen fans like the Celtic fans. There is something so special about them. 'There is a reason why their fans are talked about across Europe. The best players and coaches in the world tell you there is nowhere like Celtic Park and I want to be a part of that. 'Their mascot is a hound. You couldn't make that up. Snoop Dogg becomes Hoopy the Hound – that's gotta be a match made in heaven. The headlines write themselves.' Snoop has been pictured in a Celtic shirt in the past, also saying the club are 'his boys' in a previous interview.

Donnarumma's agent has already ruled out one transfer as Man Utd talks emerge
Paris Saint-Germain star Gianluigi Donnarumma has been linked with a sensational summer switch to Manchester United and his agent has already offered his thoughts on a switch Gianluigi Donnarumma's agent has already dismissed one potential rival to Manchester United by ruling out a switch to Napoli. The Italian goalkeeper faces an uncertain future with European champions Paris Saint-Germain. He has just a year left on his deal with the French giants and despite PSG chiefs attempting to tie him down, an agreement has yet to be found. That has opened the door to United, rivals Manchester City and Real Madrid. Reports have also suggested that that Donnarumma has been discussing the prospect of a move to the Premier League with his Italian teammates. Meanwhile, Donnarumma's agent Enzo Raiola has already denied that talks have been held with Serie A champions Napoli, who were also credited with an interest. Speaking to Radio CRC via Calciomercato, he said: "It's pure fantasy. I've an excellent relationship with Director Giovanni Manna at [Napoli], but we've never discussed Gigio. "It's an obvious question; many would like him, but only a few can afford him. He feels good in Paris, we're at the European champion club, so we have no complaints. We are working on a renewal [with PSG]." He added: "His mother is a huge Napoli fan, and she gets anxious watching their games. Gigio is connected to that.' Another side who have been linked with Donnarumma is former club AC Milan. The 26-year-old originally left the club to complete a free transfer to PSG in 2021. And Raiola has claimed that he would be open to a return to the San Siro. He said: 'I have never ruled out interest from the top Italian clubs, but there has never been a negotiation, let's see. He is still young, I have to squeeze him for at least another 10 years. 'At the moment, however, it is very difficult to see Donnarumma in the Italian championship, I'm not just talking about numbers but also about the sporting project. In Italy, beyond Inter who reached the Champions League final, there are Milan and Juve who are struggling, they are in the process of reorganizing: these factors are fundamental. "A return to Milan? Why not? We took Pogba from Manchester United to Juventus and then back to Juventus. There are no impossible things. Milan, even if it is not at its best, is always a very respectable club, which Gigio will always thank. They pampered and raised him, so Gigio will always have an important affection and gratitude towards the Rossoneri.' Donnarumma has already spoken out on his own future and refused to commit his future to PSG. He said: 'New deal or leaving? We will see what happens… I don't know. It's time to enjoy this magic season now. I will go on holiday and then we will see.'

Simone Biles calls out Kylie Jenner: 'This is a crime!'
Simone Biles has won seven Olympic gold medals - but performing a perfect routine is apparently easier than finding a jacket that fits. The 28-year-old gymnast, who stands at just 4ft8in, snapped a picture of herself trying on a blazer from Kylie Jenner 's clothing range, sharing her hilarious response to how ill-fitting it was. In the picture, Biles was seen posing in the merlot colored faux-leather from the Khy by Kylie Jenner collection, with the enormous jacket falling near her knees and the sleeves extending well past her hands. 'Ms. Kylie Jenner this is a crime!!!!!!' the Olympian wrote on her Instagram Stories, along with a series of laughing emojis. 'This is not an XXS/XS,' she complained. The next post showed Gigi Hadid wearing a Vetements x Tommy Hilfiger hoodie, which had been edited to look massive. 'This is me on the last slide. SICK,' she jokingly wrote on the picture. Khy By Kylie runs from sizes XXS to a 4X, and while the blazer - which retails for $138 - is described as a 'boxy, ultra-oversized blazer' online, it is still a tad too big for Biles. Fashion-loving Biles is known for her bold fashion choices. The athlete, along with her NFL-star husband Jonathan Owens, recently had fans divided over their interesting outfit choice. The pair stepped out of Metropolitan Museum of Art for the glamorous annual fashion event, with Biles donning a tailored blue mini dress with a white collar and a huge flowing blue train. Owens chose an all-white suit with a matching fur cape and a black cane to fit the 'Superfine' theme. This year's Met Gala theme, titled 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', was an homage to menswear centered around 'sartorial style' in forming Black identities, with a focus on the 'Black dandy' - the 18th-century looks analyzed in Monica L. Miller's 2009 book 'Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.' The petite athlete loves to experiment with texture and fabric - and has even worn a a leather blazer before. In December 2024, Biles looked chic as she arrived in at NBC Studios for the Kelly Clarkson Show in New York City in an all-black ensemble. The fashionista sported a black leather blazer and a matching skirt as she was escorted into the building by security guards. She also accessorized with a black fuzzy bucket hat and two silver necklaces to compliment the all-black ensemble. Last week, the athlete was spotted wearing a a bikini from Kim Kardashian's SKIMS brand, combining her Olympic success with her love of fashion. She snapped a mirror selfie of herself sporting a red and white-trimmed bikini top which had the logo of the US Olympic Committee on it, which appears to be part of a collection from SKIMS. According to Sportskeeda, Biles traveled to Hong Kong to give a speech at investment bank UBS' 28th Asian Investment Conference. Biles spoke to 600 young athletes from community sports organizations within the city, including gymnastics clubs. Throughout the trip, Biles showed off her various outfits - including another red ensemble, this time from Athleta.
