Gangster Robert Kelbie hangs out Noel Gallagher backstage at Oasis tour
Gangster Robert Kelbie has been pictured hanging out with Oasis stars and A-list celebrities at the band's reunion gigs in Cardiff this week.
The 41-year-old fraudster, from Edinburgh, was pictured all smiles wearing a VIP pass as he rubbed shoulders backstage with Noel Gallagher, guitarist Gem Archer, and former Doctor Who star Matt Smith.
He also shared a video of himself on Instagram at the gig to the soundtrack of the Oasis hit Stay Young alongside the caption: "#oasis #oasismania what a great night. They're definitely a must see."
Kelbie, now living it up as a flashy boxing promoter, is a known enemy of caged cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson, 38.
Richardson is currently behind bars, while his associates - including the notorious Daniel Clan - are in a bloody turf war with Dubai-based Ross 'Miami' McGill and a group known as Tamo Junto.
Kelbie, who in 2012 admitted to a £145k mortgage fraud, previously met Noel at pal Tyson Fury's world title fight at Wembley Stadium in 2022.
He also hung out backstage with the rock star in January 2023, when he was pictured chatting to him. He had captioned that post "Main man" alongside an electric guitar emoji.
Then in 2024 Kelbie was again pictured with Noel and boxer Josh Taylor at a swanky event.
Previously an underworld source told the Record: 'Seeing Kelbie hanging out with Noel Gallagher you would think he was a rock star himself. They know each other from watching boxing before.
'Robert is well connected in that world so he's often to be found hanging out with celebs. Who says crime doesn't pay?'
Kelbie was shot in the back outside a Bannatyne's Health Club in Edinburgh in 2010.
In 2013, a volley of bullets were fired at the hood's home, which was fortified with spiked railings and CCTV cameras.
He was again targeted by a shooter in Ratho Station in September 2016.
His new red carpet lifestyle comes as Scotland's gangland war involving enemy Mark Richardson explodes.
The ongoing feud was sparked after Richardson's men bought £500k of cocaine from McGill with fake cash. Homes, cars and businesses belonging to associates of Richardson have been hit in a series of firebombings - with enforcers also going after the Glasgow Daniel crime clan.
Police have arrested 52 people so far in connection with the escalating turf war.

I haven't gone too big and now I'm gonna do my bum. "Literally, got the train up, having my lips done, having filler in two areas of my bum, then taking Harvey to his new place.' The star previously revealed that she had regrets over how far she'd gone - but that didn't stop her from opting for more tweaks this week. Insisting this time was less risky, Katie said: 'If I'd had my bum done in Turkey it would be more dangerous. I'd be put to sleep, it would be more dangerous and they use your own fat. "This is just filler. Come up here for an hour and a half and it's done, amazing…' Fresh from a sun-soaked break in Dubai, Katie showed off her plumped lips in a close-up clip and declared: 'See, you can tell I haven't had much today. Gone a bit more classy.' She then winked and added: 'I just need to get my lashes done now…' Later, she shared footage of her newly enhanced bum, complete with plasters poking out from under a pink lace thong. Katie said: 'So I've just done my BBL in under an hour. So quick, the plasters are on and ready to go. Love it! Woooo! BBL in your lunch hour.' Back in May, Katie opened up about her heartbreaking obsession with going under the knife. Katie Price continues to spark concern as she shows off her very slim legs in new video In a candid confession, the Page 3 legend revealed the real pain fuelling her relentless pursuit of perfection, admitting her countless surgeries are about far more than just looks. The reality star is known for undergoing numerous cosmetic surgeries, including breast surgeries (implants and reductions), facelifts, and other procedures like a "fox eyes" procedure. In a TikTok Live, Katie addressed where her desire to have cosmetic surgery came from. A fan asked her: "Why do you keep getting surgery?" Katie replied: "That is a very good question, so obviously I've had lot of therapy because I've had trauma in my life. "I think surgery stems from something from when I was younger, and me feeling I'm not validated or good enough. "It must have started form there. But to be honest, I quite like having the surgery it makes me look fresh. "I'm 47 in May, and when I look at people I went to school with, I think they look haggard, you can grow old gracefully, but I don't want to grow old gracefully. "If there's these procedures out there to be done I will take advantage of them and at least I'm being honest." Katie live-streamed her previous cosmetic procedure to thousands of stunned fans directly from the operating table. Two surgeons worked on the TV star simultaneously injecting her bum with 50 needles of filler. Katie previously said she had cancelled the op and was hitting the gym to make her bum bigger naturally, but has now given in to temptation. In the TikTok broadcast, the mum of five appeared upbeat and relaxed as she spoke with viewers while receiving 500ml of filler for her latest BBL to give her rear a boost. 'I'm having it done now, filler put in as we speak,' she explained mid-procedure. Katie Price's Surgery: A Timeline 1998 - Katie underwent her first breast augmentation taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup. She also had her first liposuction 1999 - Katie had two more boob jobs in the same year, one taking her from a C cup to a D cup, and then up to an F cup 2006 - Katie went under the knife to take her breasts up to a G cup 2007 - Katie had a rhinoplasty and veneers on her teeth 2008 - Katie stunned fans by reducing her breasts from an F cup to a C cup 2011 - Going back to an F cup, Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers 2014/5 - Following a nasty infection, Katie had her breast implants removed 2016 - Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers 2017 - After a disastrous 'threading' facelift, Katie also had her veneers replaced. She also had her eighth boob job taking her to a GG cup 2018 - Katie went under the knife yet again for a facelift 2019 - After jetting to Turkey, Katie had a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift and a tummy tuck 2020 - Katie has her 12th boob job in Belgium to correct botched surgery and a new set of veneers 2021 - In a complete body overhaul, she opts for eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, fat injected into her bum and full body liposuction 2022 - Katie undergoes another brow and eye lift-and undergoes 'biggest ever' boob job in Belgium, her 16th in total 2023 - Opting for a second rhinoplasty, Katie also gets a lip lift at the same time as well as new lip filler throughout the year 2024 - Katie has her 17th boob job in Brussels after revealing she wanted to downsize. She performed at Dublin Pride just days later and surgeons warned the lack of recovery posed a risk of infection 'Two surgeons so it's quicker because I'd rather have it both done at the same time. Teamwork makes the dream work.' Katie continued: 'I've just had Endo laser and filler, I'm having it put in my bum. 'It will dissolve over time, but it can last up to two years. "Something can always go wrong. Anaesthetic is always a risk, but I haven't been put to sleep for this - I'm awake, talking to you guys.' As the filler continued being injected, Katie remarked, 'We are numb but I can feel it getting stingy now, which I know is very normal. I'm not feeling sore… I'm feeling good.' Despite the £1,500 cost of the treatment, Katie admitted she was getting it done for free to promote the clinic. Thousands of fans tuned in, flooding the comment section with a mix of support and shock. In 2019, Katie had a full body transformation in Turkey, including a facelift, eye and eyelid lift, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and a tummy tuck. She hasn't use the word 'addiction' herself, but confessed she's aware of how many surgeries she's had and the toll it's taken on her body. While she's no stranger to tweakments, Katie's now urging girls to think twice before following in her footsteps - saying she's learned the hard way. Katie has also spoken openly about her reliance on cosmetic procedures and the impact they've had on her. She has expressed regret about the number of surgeries she's had and the potential for long-term physical and emotional repercussions, including the recovery process, pain, and potential for a desire to return to a "before" state. 5 Katie has spoken openly about her reliance on cosmetic procedures and the impact they've had on her Credit: Getty 5 She has had multiple breast augmentations and reductions, totaling 17 surgeries and has undergone six face lifts Credit: PA

Meet Alex Warren's Influencer Wife Who Took A Huge Risk Six Months After Meeting Him Via Snapchat
The world of social media has created a whole new class of celebrity, which includes singer, YouTuber and influencer Alex Warren and his wife Kouvr Annon. After meeting through Snapchat in 2018, they both joined the Hype House – a collective of young TikTok personalities based in California – a year later. Fast forward to now and they are happily married with Alex dedicating his recent song 'Ordinary' to his wife. If you want to know more about Kouvr and their relationship then you've come to the right place. Kouvr is a social media influencer who found fame on TikTok. She is known for creating content with her husband Alex. With more than 2.5 million followers on Instagram and 16 million followers on TikTok, she has built up a loyal fanbase with her modelling, travel and promotional content. Kouvr is 25 years old. She was born on 31 May 2000. Alex Warren and his wife Kouvr Annon at the 51st American Music Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 26, 2025. (Photo by Michael Tran / AFP) They met via Snapchat after Alex messaged Kouvr's friend to say she was cute. 'I felt I could tell her everything,' Alex said of their relationship in March, 'just after our first conversation.' When they met Alex was still living out of his car. His father died of cancer when he was nine years old and his mother allegedly suffered with an alcohol addiction and kicked him out of the house. Four months after they started talking, Kouvr moved to California from Hawaii to join Alex and they both lived in his car. 'There was no one else I would've wanted to go through that with,' he wrote on Instagram. Like many influencers, Alex and Kouvr have evidently been through some difficult times and have shared their experiences with millions of followers. They moved into the Hype House just before the pandemic took hold and both featured in Netflix's 2022 series, Hype House. That year the couple decided to 'move on to the next chapter' in their lives and leave the house share. Alex and Kouvr have been together since 2018. They got engaged on New Year's Eve in 2022. 'After running around for hours and almost losing the ring on a gondola, I found the perfect place to ask her to marry me,' Alex told People. 'I remember how terrified I was even though I knew she was going to say yes because I wanted it to be perfect for her.' The duo married in June 2024 in California. Kouvr said marriage signifies her 'commitment and response of protecting someone'. She added, 'I couldn't image what my life would be without him, and I'm so happy that I don't have to.' Not yet, but they have both been vocal about their desires to start a family. 'I know that Alex is going to be the best father that there ever could be in the world but I can't wait to be a mom,' she said. Yes, Alex's 2025 single 'Ordinary' is about his experience of falling in love with Kouvr. Of course, she is an influencer. She is @k0uvr on TikTok and @kouvr on Instagram.

Officers considering legal action against Police Scotland over Trump visit plans
The Scottish Police Federation (SPF), which represents 98% of all police officers in Scotland, said the force has already breached health and safety standards in the run up to the visit by the US president. Thousands of officers are expected to be involved in what Police Scotland has described as a 'significant policing operation'. The White House confirmed Mr Trump will visit his golf courses in Aberdeenshire and Ayrshire between July 25 and 29. He will meet the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the First Minister John Swinney during his private trip. The visit is likely to result in widespread protests, following similar demonstrations during his last visit to Scotland. David Kennedy, general secretary of the SPF, suggested planning for the visit has already put officers at risk. He said: 'We currently have workforce agreements in place to protect police officers and provide minimum standards of Health and Safety at work. 'Sadly, we have seen these agreements breached in the days leading to the arrival of Potus (President of the United States) and as such we are seeking legal advice regarding potential legal action against the service.' Speaking to STV News, Mr Kennedy said he had 'major concerns' about the plans to police Mr Trump's trip. He told the broadcaster: 'We do not have enough police officers in Scotland. 'Anyone that says we do, I don't know where they get those figures from. 'We know what police officers have to do day in, day out and we need more officers in Scotland. 'When these events come along that puts those officers that are here under so much pressure.' Police Scotland said earlier this month it would seek help from the Scottish and UK Governments over the 'considerable' cost of policing the visit. It has also asked for support from Northern Ireland's police force, the PSNI. There had been speculation the King would host the American leader in Scotland after a meeting was suggested at Balmoral or Dumfries House, in a letter he wrote to Mr Trump in February inviting him to make the state visit. But it is understood that both sides will wait until the president's official state visit later this year. Police Scotland's Assistant Chief Constable Emma Bond said: 'We are working closely with the Scottish Police Federation to address any concerns they may have.' A spokesperson for the PSNI said: 'There are well established processes for any UK-based police services to request support from other services at times of peak demand. 'These requests are managed via the National Police Co-ordination Centre (NPoCC) and we can confirm that PSNI have received a request to provide mutual aid to Police Scotland which we are currently assessing. 'The decision to provide officers under the mutual aid process will be considered against our own demands, ensuring that we retain the capacity to respond effectively to local issues and maintain our own operational competence.'
