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.'

Riley Gaines unearths old tweet from 'truly sick bully' Simone Biles that 'undermines nonsensical' trans feud
Riley Gaines continued to wage war with Simone Biles over transgender athletes, two days after the gymnast first launched her scathing attack on the conservative activist. The USA Olympic hero, 28, hit out at Gaines Friday night when she compared her to a man after the former swimmer criticized a Minnesota high school softball team for competing with a trans player. The stinging online attack triggered a bitter social media feud between the two with Gaines issuing a series of rebukes. And now, the former collegiate swimmer has dug deep into the archives for her latest brutal retort. Gaines, 25, trawled through eight years' worth of Biles' social media presence to unearth a 2017 post that she claims undermines the USA Olympic hero's current stance on the gender row. 'ahhhh good thing guys don't compete against girls or he'd take all the gold medals !!' the old post from Biles read. Gaines reshared the tweet and responded: 'Oop don't you hate it when your past self completely undermines your current nonsensical argument? Gained unearthed one of the USA Olympic hero's social media posts from 2017 The activist claimed that the gymnast's eight-year-old tweet undermines her current stance 'How has 2025 Simone reconciled with the fact 2017 Simone was a 'truly sick bully' by her own standard?' Gaines has forged a career as a political commentator for OutKick and Fox following her time as a swimmer, where she competed against trans athlete Lia Thomas. Her campaigning has won praise from Donald Trump, who welcomed her to the White House before signing the 'Keeping Men out of Women's Sports' executive order in February. On Friday, Gaines retweeted a picture of Minnesota team Champlin Park celebrating the state high school title that they won with transgender pitcher Marissa Rothenberger on the team. 'Comments off lol,' Gaines wrote in response to the post. 'To be expected when your star player is a boy.' It sparked a blistering response from Biles, 28, who first criticized Gaines' view and then compared her appearance to a man. Biles wrote: 'You're truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. 'You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!! 'But instead… You bully them… One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!' She then tweeted at Gaines again, saying: 'Bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.' Biles attacked Gaines on X on Friday night after her latest remarks on trans athletes Biles, a seven-time Olympic gold medalist, tore into Gaines on social media for her trans stance Gaines replied: 'This is actually so disappointing. It's not my job or the job of any woman to figure out how to include men in our spaces. You can uplift men stealing championships in women's sports with YOUR platform. Men don't belong in women's sports and I say that with my full chest.' She continued: 'My take is the least controversial take on the planet. Simone Biles being a male-apologist at the expense of young girls' dreams? Didn't have that on my bingo card. Maybe she could compete in pommel horse and rings in 2028.' Gaines then addressed Biles mocking her appearance, saying: 'And the subtle hint at "body-shaming" ???? Plzzzz I'm 5'5".' Gaines continued to hit back by referencing the horrific abuse Biles and other gymnasts suffered at the hands of pedophile doctor Larry Nassar. 'All the horrific sexual abuse @Simmone_Biles witnessed and spoke out against caused by one man, yet believes women should be forced to strip naked in front of men to validate the man's feelings,' the former collegiate swimmer posted on X following the gymnastics legend's attack. 'You know how many gold medals you'd have if your "inclusive" dream came true? Zero.' Gaines later doubled down, sharing a clip of Biles testifying before Senate about the abuse suffered at the hands of the former team doctor. Alongside it, she posted a screengrab of Biles' tweet. 'Simone Biles when she had to endure a predatory man Vs Simone Biles when other girls have to endure predatory men,' she wrote. Nassar was a leading doctor at Michigan State and with USA Gymnastics, but used his position within those organizations to sexually abuse young women under the guise of treatment at the now-closed Karolyi Ranch National Team Training Center in Huntsville, Texas. The former swimmer later shared a clip of Biles' testimony to Senate on the abuse He was sentenced in federal court in 2017 to 60 years in prison on charges of possessing child sex abuse material. The following year, Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years and up to 125 years, respectively, in two separate Michigan courts for molesting female gymnasts under his care. Biles publicly broke her silence in January 2018, revealing in a powerful tweet that she was one of Nassar's victims. In 2019, Biles revealed that the trauma of the assaults had left her struggling with suicidal thoughts. The gymnast has offered no further comment other than to retweet her original post calling Gaines 'sick'. The issue of trans athletes in sports has been a bigger talking point in the US this week with the Minnesota high school team reaching the state championships. Rothenberger is biologically male. At nine, Rothenberger's mother applied in district court to alter her child's birth certificate after their ninth birthday, with the petition being approved, per Reduxx. Rothenberger was issued a new birth certificate showing to be born female, switching their name from 'Charlie Dean' to Marissa.

Arsenal told they must cough up £84m to sign attacking target
Juventus are determined to fend off Arsenal's interest in Kenan Yildiz, unless the Gunners are prepared to pay in excess of €100million (£84m) for the forward this summer. Yildiz further established himself as one of the most promising attacking talents in Italian football with a return of nine goals and eight assists in all competitions for Juve last season. But there has been mounting speculation that Yildiz could be on his way out of the Allianz Stadium, with the 20-year-old attracting the attentions of a host of top European teams. According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, Arsenal have shown the most concrete interest of those potential suitors and sent scouts to watch over Yildiz's performances several times in recent months. The report claims Yildiz finds himself at the top of Arsenal's wishlist, alongside Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams, with the club's new sporting director, Andrea Berta, keen to add greater firepower to Mikel Arteta's attack. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. Arsenal are also working on a deal for renowned talent spotter, Matteo Tognozzi, who helped facilitate Yildiz's move to Juve in 2022 – and it's thought his presence in north London could be key in capturing the Turkey international. However, Juve are said to be determined to shut down Arsenal's advances and would only entertain offers in excess of €100million (£84m) for their sought-after No.10. The Serie A giants 'do not want to be caught unprepared' and the club's general manager, Damien Comolli, plans to enter into contract talks with Yidiz's entourage in due course. Yildiz's current deal in Turin runs through to the summer of 2029. Speaking to DAZN last month, Yildiz said he and the rest of Juventus' squad were enjoying their time under new manager Igor Tudor. 'He gave us energy, it was important for us,' Yildiz said of the Croatian, who replaced Thiago Motta in the dugout back in March. 'Since he arrived, we've been happy, we've been working hard. 'I'm happy with this season, but I want to improve in everything. I'm always looking ahead. 'The No.10 shirt doesn't add any pressure. I play as usual and I'm happy to be wearing it.' Mikel Arteta has made no secret of his desire to bring in attacking reinforcements this summer and last month told fans to expect a 'big' transfer window. 'It's going to be a big one and we are very excited about it,' the Arsenal head coach told reporters. 'When you are going to go again, we want to increase the depth of the squad and the quality and the skills that we need to go to the next step. 'Every summer is big because it is an opportunity – and especially because of the number of players we have in the squad right now, that is necessary. 'But it's a big summer for many things because first of all we have to maintain the good foundations that we have and then obviously how can we improve and evolve the team.'

Blake Lively's gushing post to her personal trainer who Justin Baldoni allegedly 'fat-shamed' her to
Blake Lively penned a gushing post to her personal trainer Don Saladino - who Justin Baldoni allegedly 'fat-shamed' her to. The Gossip Girl alum, 37 - who recently assembled a group of activists to accuse Baldoni of 'abandoning' the MeToo message - joined the fitness coach to plug her brand Blake Brown Beauty. It comes amid her ongoing legal drama with Baldoni - and only days after it was revealed that she dropped claims that her It Ends With Us co-star and director had caused her emotional distress. Lively reposted a reel that was originally shared to Saladino's Instagram page as he tried to guess which Hair and Body Mist that her husband Ryan Reynolds wears. She then added the message: '@donsaladino I love you buddy. Despite your inability to identify any notes in our new @blakebrownbeauty Hair & Body Mist. 'You've kept me strong and confident in my body for the past 15 years. Through 4 pregnancies and post partum. Action movies. Major life events. Daily life. You are steady and kind and are made of rock solid integrity.' Blake concluded with, 'I'm so proud to have you and Mel in my life... Get you a best buddy who knows your husband's smell.' The video was also uploaded to Don's main Instagram page and in the caption, the personal trainer wrote how 'proud' he is of the actress. 'Blake I'm so proud of you,' he began. 'The Blake Brown line is absolutely incredible. I hope that everyone tries it. Mel and I love you.' Lively's fitness coach was notably dragged into her lawsuit with Justin when she claimed that Baldoni had 'fat-shamed' her to Saladino by asking him about her weight amidst filming It Ends With Us. Back in February 2023, Justin was introduced to the fitness coach by Blake as he prepared for a leading role in the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel. According to Baldoni, he was going to get advice from Saladino - such as 'nutrition and exercise' - due to his back injury. Justin signed up for the personal trainer's meal delivery service but also asked advice when it came to training to help him prepare for a scene where he needed to lift Lively. At one point in the conversation, the director had asked Don about the actress's weight - which he claimed had been in 'good faith' and also a 'reasonable question' to ask a fitness coach. Blake concluded with, 'I'm so proud to have you and Mel in my life... Get you a best buddy who knows your husband's smell' 'Blake I'm so proud of you,' he began. 'The Blake Brown line is absolutely incredible. I hope that everyone tries it. Mel and I love you' Lively's fitness coach was notably dragged into her lawsuit with Justin when she claimed that Baldoni had 'fat-shamed' her to Saladino by asking him about her weight amidst filming It Ends With Us However the following day, Baldoni claimed that he was asked over to Blake's home where he was confronted by her husband Ryan Reynolds. The actor accused Justin of fat-shaming his wife and Baldoni also alleged that Reynolds had screamed: 'How dare you f*****g ask about my wife's weight? What's wrong with you?' It was alleged that Ryan requested that the lift scene be taken out of the movie as well. Earlier this year amid the ongoing lawsuit, Saladino edited a post from last year and voiced his support for Lively. He wrote: 'To be clear – Justin Baldoni is not my client. I created a complimentary program for him as a favor to a client. I have never trained him virtually or in person. 'I never met him in person. We communicated via calls & text from January to March 2023. I could not accommodate his schedule, and found him a coach. After an uncomfortable conversation, communication ended.' Don added, 'Not only is Blake my client, she is also my very dear friend. She has treated me with unmatched kindness for over 15 years. Fair weather friends are not friends. 'We love you B. You are always lifting up others. It's why Mel & I love you so much. You have always been there for me. You have always had my back. B, I hope you feel the same.' Earlier this week, a new development was made amid the lawsuit as Blake dropped her claim that Baldoni intentionally caused her emotional distress, after his legal team demanded to see medical proof. A new court filing, exclusively obtained by shows the embattled actress has also withdrawn a second claim of negligent infliction of emotional distress and try to avoid having to share her health records with Justin's legal team. But there was a sting in the tale for Baldoni – who now has two fewer claims to defend himself from – after the actress demanded to drop the claims without prejudice, meaning they could be refiled. The attempt has prompted a new round of legal letters, with Baldoni's team angrily insisting the mom-of-four is trying 'to have it both ways' and demanding that she comply with their 'reasonable' request to see her medical documents. An insider told that Lively's lawyers had hoped to quietly ditch the emotional distress elements of the lawsuit to dodge having her records scrutinized. Lively had claimed that the emotional distress allegedly inflicted on her by Baldoni had 'severely impacted her physical, psychological and emotional wellbeing' – all of which could show up in her health records if true. Lively's team has responded to request for comment: 'Once again this is a routine part of the litigation process that is being used as a press stunt. 'We are doing what trial lawyers do: preparing our case for trial by streamlining and focusing it; they are doing what they do: desperately seeking another tired round of tabloid coverage. 'Ms. Lively continues to allege emotional distress, as part of numerous other claims in her lawsuit, such as sexual harassment and retaliation, and massive additional compensatory damages on all of her claims.' Although the actress has now dropped the emotional distress claims, Baldoni will still have to defend himself over her other claims which include sexual harassment and the orchestration of a smear campaign against her. Justin is also pursuing a $400m countersuit of his own that also claims defamation and accuses the glamorous blonde of damaging his reputation and career. The withdrawal is the latest twist in a tsunami of legal developments that in recent weeks has seen the warring pair battle it out over his attempt to subpoena her one-time bestie, Taylor Swift. The Grammy winner was dragged into the saga in January due to a now-notorious claim by Baldoni that Lively referred to the megastar and husband Ryan as 'my dragons' and threatened to unleash them upon him if he refused to go along with her changes to a scene. According to a legal letter sent along with the subpoena, Lively allegedly threatened to leak a decade's worth of text messages if Swift failed to issue a statement in support of her. Lively's team quickly hit back and denied the claims, and also demanded the subpoena be withdrawn – a request later granted by Judge Lewis Liman. Subpoenas against Lively and Reynolds were upheld and the actress is facing a deposition, although that too is the subject of wrangling due to her reluctance to be grilled by Baldoni's lawyers. The dropping of the emotional distress claims is yet another legal setback for the actress, who has been the subject of a deluge of negative headlines for months and has seen her friendship with Swift publicly deteriorate. She has also faced scrutiny over some of her team's legal maneuvers, among them a shell lawsuit filed in October that was used as the basis to subpoena publicist Stephanie Jones for a phone used by her former employee Jennifer Abel. has also revealed that Baldoni has added a powerful female litigator to his legal counsel who could make a 'meaningful difference' to his acrimonious battle with Lively, according to insiders – and she has an unlikely connection to Taylor Swift. Ellyn S. Garofalo, who previously worked with Venable LLP – the law firm used by Swift – has joined Baldoni's side as part of the Wayfarer legal team in a move that has prompted fans to question the singer's involvement in the ongoing war. Garofalo, who worked at Venable LLP from 2018 until 2021, reportedly joined Baldoni's team 'after Venable was able to get the Taylor subpoena tossed.' 'For Ellyn to join the counsel is huge,' an insider exclusively told the Daily Mail. According to her biography, Garofalo is a seasoned trial attorney with over three decades of courtroom experience. Her focus is on 'civil, criminal, and regulatory matters, including SEC enforcement actions,' and she has previously worked on high-profile cases involving Anna Nicole Smith and Alyssa Milano. 'Baldoni's team is thrilled because of her track record in the courtroom,' the insider said of the Pepperdine Law School grad. 'She not only brings exceptional legal expertise but also fulfils their desire to include a prominent female litigator.' News of her involvement comes days after an unnamed insider in Swift's inner circle allegedly provided documented evidence to Baldoni's lead attorney Bryan Freedman detailing how Lively's attorneys had 'threatened to leak' the actress's private exchanges with Swift, in a failed attempt to coerce the singer into publicly siding with her against Baldoni. The Daily Mail exclusively revealed that the 'leaker' was none other than Scott Swift - the singer's 73-year-old father. 'Garofalo was compelled to join the case after reviewing its circumstances, feeling strongly that an injustice was unfolding and that her participation could make a meaningful difference,' our source said. The legal dispute began when Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment. Baldoni has countersued for defamation. Both parties have denied all the allegations against them. Their trial is scheduled for March 2026.
