Ozzy Osbourne, the godfather of heavy metal and one of rock’s most unpredictable icons, has passed away at the age of 76.
Just last week, his daughter Kelly Osbourne denied rumors that he was dying. But on Tuesday morning, the sad news became official: Ozzy died surrounded by family. No cause of death has been released. A statement from the family said, “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.”
BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND – JULY 23: Black Sabbath fans pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne on July 23, 2025 in Birmingham, England. Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary rock icon and Black Sabbath frontman, died on Tuesday, aged 76, after performing a farewell show in his hometown of Birmingham earlier this month. Over the course of his storied career, he brought home five Grammy Awards and was twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – once as a member of Black Sabbath, and again as a solo artist.

For millions of fans, Ozzy wasn’t just a music legend—he was a larger-than-life character who shaped decades of pop culture.
From fronting Black Sabbath to starring in a chaotic reality show, his career was anything but ordinary.
He got his start in Birmingham, England, as the lead singer of Black Sabbath, helping invent heavy metal in the early ‘70s. After being fired from the band in 1979, he launched a wildly successful solo career, producing hits like “Crazy Train” and “Mr. Crowley” while also redefining the role of a rock frontman.

His bizarre stunts—biting the head off a bat, snorting ants, and allegedly urinating on the Alamo while wearing his wife Sharon’s dress—only added to his myth.
Ozzy also became one of the most unlikely reality TV stars of the 2000s, thanks to MTV’s The Osbournes, which turned his entire family into household names and introduced a new generation to the Prince of Darkness.
Despite his hard-partying reputation, Ozzy remained shockingly resilient.
He survived decades of substance abuse and multiple health scares. In 2003, he was seriously injured in an ATV crash, and in 2019 he suffered another fall that aggravated previous injuries. He also batted Parkinson’s disease.

In a 2023 interview, Ozzy described the last few years as “five years of absolute hell.” Still, just this month, he delivered his final performance in Birmingham at the Back to the Beginning show, which raised $190 million for charity.
He sold over 100 million records and holds the rare distinction of being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice—first with Black Sabbath in 2006 and again as a solo artist in 2024.
Ozzy is survived by his wife Sharon, children Kelly, Jack, Aimee, and his children from a previous marriage: Jessica, Louis, and Elliot.
Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward all shared heartfelt tributes, with Iommi writing, “There won’t ever be another like him.”
Rest in peace, Ozzy. You truly were one of a kind.

After nearly 40 years of fans quoting the line “There’s no basement at the Alamo,” Pee-wee Herman’s iconic red bicycle has finally made its way there—for real this time.
The original bike from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” has officially been acquired by the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, just in time for the movie’s 40th anniversary.
It’s set to become a permanent part of the site’s upcoming Visitor Center and Museum, opening in Fall 2027. But you won’t have to wait two years to see it.
The Alamo announced that the legendary cruiser will be on display for a limited time at the Ralston Family Collection Center later this year. That’s also in San Antonio, but the specific dates haven’t been shared yet. You can bet fans are already dusting off their grey suits and red bow ties in anticipation.
And yes, there will be a free movie screening to go along with the exhibit, but details are still to come.
In the meantime, the Alamo’s official Instagram account had some fun with the announcement, posting: “Until then, don’t worry… the bike will be stored for safekeeping. Maybe in the basement!”
“Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”, released in 1985, marked the directorial debut of Tim Burton and helped launch Paul Reubens’ quirky character into pop culture history. The film’s plot—centered around Pee-wee’s desperate quest to retrieve his stolen bike—turns the Alamo into a hilarious (and completely false) detour, cementing it in fan memory.
Now, nearly four decades later, the Alamo is embracing its Hollywood cameo and giving the bike the spotlight it deserves.
DC just unleashed the latest “Superman” on the world, and Marvel’s up next, with Friday’s release of “Fantastic Four: First Steps.”
But not all superheroes are created equal. In fact, some of them kind of suck. But not necessarily in a bad way. Here are 10 of the best not-so-super superheroes:
1. “The Toxic Avenger” (1984)
The years-delayed remake starring Peter Dinklage and Kevin Bacon is finally hitting theaters at the end of the summer, but let’s not forget the movie that still fuels the demented engine of Troma Films, and almost-kinda-sorta made New Jersey cool.
Melvin the Mop Boy is pranked by the patrons at the health club where he works, causing him to fall into a vat of toxic waste, which transforms him into “a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength.”
This hideously deformed creature is driven to not only fight crime, but to literally tear it limb-from-limb in such graphic and gory fashion that even he starts to wonder if he’s not such a nice guy. Don’t worry, his doubt doesn’t last. Nor does the evil in Toxie’s beloved Tromaville.
2. “Super” (2010)
Before he became a Hollywood darling, “Superman” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn got his start at the aforementioned Troma Films. As such, his pre-Marvel and DC output was pretty weird, and often wonderful.
In “Super,” Rainn Wilson is brilliant as Frank Darbo, a depressed and possibly schizophrenic short order cook who decides to rescue his wife when she falls back into addiction, and back in with a gang of drug dealers led by a sleazy Kevin Bacon. (Yes, second mention of Kevin Bacon so far, but sadly, probably the last.)
To achieve his goals, Frank becomes a “superhero” called The Crimson Bolt, with the equally delusional Elliot Page as his female sidekick Boltie. But Frank is no superhero, nor does he become one in the end. He does more or less save the day, but ultimately, he’s just as pathetic as ever.
3. “Chronicle” (2012)
What if three high school kids suddenly got super powers? Would they become champions of the people and spend the rest of their lives fighting for truth, justice, and the American way. Hell no. They’d screw around until things went sideways and people started getting hurt.
That’s what happens in the brilliant “Chronicle,” which employs the found footage conceit better than most horror movies, and features a still-gestating Michael B. Jordan as one of the super teens.
4. “Batman” (1966)
It actually took people a while to realize that the ’60s TV Batman wasn’t bad, it was a brilliant, before-its-time superhero parody, and it might be even more relevant in this age of Marvel and DC overkill. Made during the original run of the TV series, the movie was just as good or better.
Adam West’s Batman was so decent and square, he was the cool one (a concept James Gunn co-opted for the new “Superman”). And the fact that he would just happen to carry “Shark Repellent Bat-Spray” in case an obviously rubber shark might latch onto his leg? Why not?
(And the “Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb” scene? Chef’s kiss. In my opinion one of the great comedy routines of all time.)
5. “Mystery Men” (1999)
This one should have been a hit. A stellar cast, including Ben Stiller, William H. Macy, Hank Azaria, Janeane Garofolo, and Geoffrey Rush . . . not to mention Paul “Pee Wee Herman” Reubens as the Spleen, whose weapon is flatulence so foul it debilitates anyone downwind of him.
In the end, our heroes overcome the evil Casanova Frankenstein, as well as the fact that they’re not very good superheroes, with a GROUP HUG. Or, as Macy’s The Shoveller puts it: “We struck down evil with the mighty sword of teamwork and the hammer of not bickering.”
This movie needs a sequel, stat.
6. “Brightburn” (2019)
Is this a superhero movie or a horror flick? Any attempt to answer that question would give too much away. It’s basically the Superman origin story, but with a twist: Alien baby’s space capsule crash lands in the Midwest, and baby is adopted by farmers.
But was he sent here to do good or evil? Any similarities to the new “Superman” movie are most likely not coincidental, since “Brightburn” was produced by James Gunn, and written by his brothers Brian and Mark.
7. “Kung Fury” (2015)
Even though it’s only 31 minutes long, this is one of the greatest superhero movies ever made. An homage to everything ’80s, from Miami-cool to buddy cop movies, martial arts flicks, VHS, and even the Nintendo Power Glove, and beyond.
“Kung Fury” is a cop who was supercharged by being struck by lightning AND bitten by a cobra at the same time. He travels through time to defeat no less than Adolf Hitler, with the aid of his partner Triceracop, his retro tech wiz ally Hackerman, some sexy female Viking warriors, and an actual T-rex.
(Bonus: You can watch the whole thing on YouTube. Oh, and did I mention the David Hasselhoff cameo?)
FYI, a sequel featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the president was made a few years ago, but remains criminally unreleased.
8. “Italian Spiderman” (2007)
A series of short films meant to parody not only superheroes, but Eurotrash cinema of the ’70s and early ’80s, Italian Spiderman isn’t even Italian. It was made by an Australian collective and starred “Franco Franchetti” (not his real name) in the title role.
He’s out of shape, he has a creepy pornstache, and he probably smokes too much . . . but he’s just as amazing as his American cousin, although for vastly different reasons.
9. “The Machine Girl” (2008)
If you asked me to name the 100 weirdest movies I’ve ever seen, it’s a strong bet that at least 75 of them would be Asian. And “Machine Girl” would probably make the list.
Ami Hyūga is an orphaned schoolgirl (Because Japan, obvi) whose arm is cut off by the yakuza. So she does what any orphaned schoolgirl would do: She slaps a machine gun on her stump and starts wasting bad guys who come at her with chainsaws, flying guillotines, and the dreaded drill bra. (Trailer)
10. “Batpussy”
To paraphrase cult movie god Bruce Campbell, this movie wasn’t released, it escaped. And we are all the worse for it. This porn flick was discovered in the storeroom of an adult movie theater in Memphis in the mid-1990s
Nobody knows who made it or when, but best guesses say late ’60s or early ’70s. There’s also no indication who the “actors” are, but boy, must we use that term loosely.
The “film” starts with a highly unappealing couple having highly unerotic sex, while insulting each other the entire time. Soon Batpussy arrives via hippity-hop… I’m not joking… and we have what’s got to be the most sack-deflating threesome ever committed to film.
This could easily be the worst porn flick ever made, the worst superhero movie ever made, and even the worst movie ever made. I’d also bet my mortgage that in the 30 years since it was uncovered, no one has ever masturbated to it. And anyone who has needs to be on some kind of watch list.
But if your mission is to seek out the worst that film has to offer, that mission can never be complete until you’ve watched Batpussy at least once.
(Here’s the safe-for-work four-plus-minute hippity hop scene. It includes a pee break and a little crimefightin’ on the side.)
A new Tina Turner wig just hit the internet—and flopped harder than a cover band trying to sing “Proud Mary” in the wrong key.
This week, an officially licensed Tina Turner wig was released to honor the late Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Designed by her longtime hairstylist Arthur Johns and made from human hair, the wig was supposed to be a tribute to Tina’s iconic teased-out ’80s look. Instead, it looked more like it belonged to Little Orphan Annie or Olivia Newton-John in Grease. And the price? A cool $1,000.
Almost immediately, fans slammed the design online for looking nothing like Tina’s signature hair. Instead of bold, wild volume, the wig served up soft, generic curls—more community theater than rock royalty.
One person joked it looked like it came with a free performance of Tomorrow. Another said it gave “Tell me about it, stud” energy… not exactly what you’d expect from a tribute to a music legend known for her ferocity.
Within hours of launch, Turner’s estate yanked the product from the site. That’s right: less than a day on the market before it was banished to the “what were we thinking?” corner of the internet.
Arthur Johns, however, is still standing by his work. He told the media, “Tina wore that hair. If you do your research, you’ll see that curl was very popular in the ’90s and through the early 2000s. What you don’t see is Tina onstage after 25 minutes, working that hair, throwing her body around and having that hair blow up and just become wild.”
Fair point, Arthur—but fans weren’t buying it. Literally or figuratively.
Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath just closed the curtain on their legendary career—and shattered a massive record while they were at it.
The band’s final concert, fittingly titled Back to the Beginning, has officially become the Highest-Grossing Charity Concert of All Time, pulling in over $190 million (around 140 million British pounds). That number smashes the previous record-holder and cements the show’s place in rock and fundraising history.
The farewell performance wasn’t just about heavy riffs and nostalgia—it had a powerful purpose. Proceeds from the concert will be split evenly among Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Acorn Children’s Hospice, and Cure Parkinson’s, the latter of which hits close to home for Ozzy, who’s been publicly battling Parkinson’s disease for several years.
This historic show now tops an iconic list of charity concerts, surpassing events like America: A Tribute to Heroes ($129 million in 2001), FireAid (over $100 million earlier this year), and even the legendary Live Aid from 1985, which raised an estimated $100 million.
Here’s the updated ranking of the top charity concerts by gross revenue, not adjusted for inflation:
Back to the Beginning (2025) – $190 million
America: A Tribute to Heroes (2001) – $129 million
FireAid (2025) – Over $100 million
Live Aid (1985) – Around $100 million
Farm Aid (since 1985) – Over $80 million
Hope for Haiti (2010) – $57 million
Concert for Bangladesh (1971) – $12 million
One Love Manchester (2017) – $12 million
Considering the sheer cultural weight of a band like Black Sabbath, it’s not surprising that their last hurrah would be record-breaking. But $190 million? That’s next level.
Between the massive turnout, star-studded performance, and a cause that hits all the right notes, “Back to the Beginning” wasn’t just a goodbye—it was a mic drop moment for charity concerts worldwide.

Let’s be real: arguing over who’s the hottest man in Hollywood history is basically a sport. And Harper’s Bazaar just dropped their official 50 Hottest Men of All Time list, sparking fierce debate and possibly some group texts in all caps. From leather jackets to lightsabers, their picks span decades of smolder . . . and yes, peak hotness moments are included for context.
Big names like James Dean, Lenny Kravitz, Bad Bunny, and Keanu Reeves made the list, but so did a few surprise entries. Whether you’re into brooding rebels or charming weirdos, there’s something (or someone) here for everyone.
Let’s break down a few of the standouts:
James Dean set the gold standard for tortured hotness with a cigarette and a red jacket in “Rebel Without a Cause”. Sorry, not sorry.
Tupac Shakur? Shirtless in the “Hit ‘Em Up” video. No further explanation needed.
Lenny Kravitz apparently hits peak attractiveness anytime he’s shirtless—which, luckily for us, is often.
Pedro Pascal earned his spot by doing something truly rare in “The Mandalorian”: removing his helmet and stealing our hearts.
Bad Bunny was a no-brainer. That Calvin Klein ad lives rent-free in way too many minds.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson made the cut for crying over Keira Knightley in “Anna Karenina”. Because real men yearn.
Jason Momoa showed that hot can also be hilarious in his 2020 Super Bowl commercial.
Keanu Reeves not only dodged bullets in “The Matrix”, but donated most of his paycheck to cancer research afterward. Now that’s hot.
Hayden Christensen: His brooding Anakin Skywalker in “Revenge of the Sith” made the dark side weirdly irresistible.
Robert Pattinson: Whether he’s sparkling as Edward Cullen or brooding in “The Batman”, the man’s mysterious vibe is elite.
Marlon Brando: Young Brando in a tight T-shirt in “A Streetcar Named Desire” basically invented “hot and dangerous.”
Theo James: He made button-downs look scandalous in “The White Lotus”. That hotel room scene? You know the one.
Matthew McConaughey: Peak McConaughey was shirtless and sweaty in a rom-com, whispering “Alright, alright, alright.”
Jesse Williams: “Grey’s Anatomy’s” hottest doctor not named McDreamy. Those eyes could stop time.
Denzel Washington: Not just hot—legendary hot. “Training Day” swagger, “Malcolm X” intensity, and always effortlessly smooth.
Some picks definitely feel more “actor of the moment” (coughJacob Elordi in “Saltburn”) while others are timeless (Elvis in “Jailhouse Rock”). And then there’s Bill Skarsgård, who somehow made crawling around as Pennywise in a sewer… sexy? We don’t know how to feel about that one.
Reactions to the list have ranged from “Yup, accurate” to “WHERE IS [insert personal fave here]???” Which is kind of the whole point—everyone’s list is going to be a little different.
So is this the definitive ranking of Hollywood’s hottest men? Probably not. But it is a fun scroll. And if nothing else, it’s a solid excuse to revisit some swoon-worthy movie moments (purely for research, of course).
Who’s missing from the list? And what was Keanu’s peak hotness moment? Sound off. We’re ready to fight about it.
If you’ve seen the new “Superman” film and left the theater thinking, “Should I adopt a dog?”, you’re not alone.
Since the film’s release, Google searches for “adopt a dog near me” have skyrocketed by a staggering 513%, according to a recent report. That’s not a typo. People aren’t just loving Superman … they’re falling for his four-legged best friend, Krypto.
Krypto, the heroic pup who fights alongside Superman in the film, was brought to life through CGI and modeled after director James Gunn’s own rescue dog, Ozu. The resemblance must be striking enough to spark breed-specific curiosity too—searches for “adopt a Schnauzer” are up 299%, and “rescue dog adoption near me” has seen a 163% jump.
And while Krypto may be fictional, his impact is very real. James Gunn was clearly moved by the increase in dog adoption interest, calling it one of the film’s greatest blessings. “This film has been a barrage of blessings for me,” he said, “this one may be the greatest. Ozu has no idea any of this is happening but, if he did, he’d be proud.”
It’s not the first time a movie has influenced pet adoption trends.
Films like “101 Dalmatians”, “Legally Blonde”, and “John Wick” have all been linked to surges in interest for certain breeds. But in this case, the message isn’t just about one dog—it’s about giving rescue animals a shot at a super life.
If you’re Googling pet adoption after seeing the film, you’re in good company. Just make sure you’re adopting for the right reasons. Dogs—super or otherwise—are a long-term commitment. But if the idea of a loyal sidekick by your side sounds appealing, maybe it’s time to check out your local shelter.
Who knows? You might not get heat vision, but you could gain a best friend faster than a speeding bullet.
Is Brad Pitt aging backward, or is there a scalpel behind the scenes?
The 61-year-old Hollywood icon has sparked major speculation online over his increasingly youthful appearance—so much so that fans and plastic surgery watchers are convinced he’s had at least one facelift, maybe more. The buzz ramped up after a Turkish plastic surgeon pointed out a scar reportedly spotted behind Brad’s ear, suggesting he may have had some work done ahead of filming “F1: The Movie”.
TikTok sleuths have also chimed in, with one video from last November claiming Brad may have undergone a neck lift along with additional cosmetic tweaks. Other internet theorists are taking it even further, throwing around terms like “embryonic stem cell injections” and “Platelet-Rich Plasma treatments” as possible secrets behind his glowing skin.
Of course, some commenters are going the more…spicy route, crediting his post-divorce glow-up to putting Angelina Jolie in the rearview mirror.
Brad himself has never addressed any of the rumors, though he has talked openly about skincare—especially through his luxury brand, Beau Domaine, which he co-founded with a French vintner. So technically, it’s possible he’s just got great genes, great lighting, and a serum that costs more than your car payment.
Still, the alleged scar is what’s really got people talking. Facelift incisions are often hidden along the hairline or behind the ears, so spotting one could be more than coincidence. The actor’s fans have long noted how remarkably smooth and lifted his face appears—especially for someone over 60 who’s been in the industry for decades.
Whether it’s plastic surgery, stem cells, or just the single greatest skincare routine of all time, Brad Pitt continues to stun with a face that refuses to age. And while the internet might be skeptical, one thing’s for sure: If there is a Benjamin Button beauty secret, he’s not sharing it.
Apparently, Kim Kardashian had a bit of a rough time at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s ultra-luxury wedding bash in Venice—and not because the hors d’oeuvres were off. According to sources, Kim was seriously thrown off after Sydney Sweeney stole the spotlight, leaving the reality star and business mogul feeling like yesterday’s headline.
Yep. Word is, Kim had what’s being called a full-on meltdown over all the attention Sydney was getting. While Kim’s used to being the moment, this time it wasn’t about her—and it hit hard. One insider said, “Kim won’t say it outright, but seeing Sydney get all the attention in Venice was a huge blow to her ego.”
Sydney’s star power at the event wasn’t exactly subtle. With her rising fame, youth, and social media dominance, she’s clearly on the “It Girl” trajectory that Kim once owned.
The source went on to say that Kim “left Venice feeling completely deflated” and described the experience as a “painful wake-up call.”
Now, to be fair, Kim still got plenty of attention. But, as the source put it, it wasn’t the same kind of attention—and that realization “totally knocked her confidence.” Oof.
To be clear, there’s no drama between Kim and Sydney. No feuds. No awkward bathroom confrontations (as far as we know). This isn’t a catfight—it’s more of a quiet existential crisis. The source insists that Kim isn’t blaming Sydney. It’s just that realizing she may not be the reigning queen of celebrity anymore apparently “triggered all her worst insecurities.”
If you’ve followed Kim’s career, you know she’s been the pop culture centerpiece for nearly two decades. But with Gen Z stars like Sydney climbing the Hollywood ladder—and fast—the torch may be passing whether Kim likes it or not.
So, while the Bezos wedding made headlines for its opulence, it sounds like it may also have marked a different kind of milestone: the moment Kim realized she’s not always going to be the main character. At least not without a little competition.

Ozzy Osbourne is unleashing his inner artist and teaming up with actual chimpanzees for a unique charity auction that’s as wild as it sounds. The five-piece art collection, created in collaboration with rescued apes, is raising money for Save the Chimps, a sanctuary in Florida that provides lifelong care to hundreds of apes rescued from laboratories, roadside attractions, and wildlife trafficking.
And yes, you read that correctly: Ozzy Osbourne + chimpanzees + paintbrushes = real, purchasable artwork.
Ozzy said the project is deeply personal. “I paint because it gives me peace of mind,” he explained. “But I don’t sell my paintings. I’ve made an exception with these collaborations as it raises money for Save the Chimps.”
Each of the five works features a background painted by Ozzy himself, with the chimps adding the final strokes of flair. The results? Surprisingly vibrant and, honestly, kind of punk rock.
Each piece is signed and named after an Ozzy song or album—titles like “Paranoid” and “Blizzard of Oz” make an appearance—which gives collectors a little slice of rock history with their primate-powered art.
The auction runs until March 17th, and as of last check, bids were averaging around £2,500 (just under $3,400 USD).
(And in case you’re wondering, the artsy chimps are named Kramer, Sable, Sophie, and Janice.)
If that’s not enough Ozzy news for one day, he also dropped details about his next memoir. Titled “Last Rites“, the book is set for release on October 7th. It promises to dive into his storied career and his decades-long struggle with health issues.
