Lady Gaga's private message to Sharon Osbourne after Ozzy's death
The 39-year-old star was a huge fan of the late Black Sabbath rocker – who passed away last month at the age of 76 – and she sent a huge bouquet of flowers to his grieving widow to share her sympathies.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'The flowers must have cost hundreds but Gaga wanted to reach out.
'Gaga has always been a huge fan of Ozzy and the Osbournes – before she was famous she even used to strip to Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath.
"She once told Ozzy – he found it hilarious.'
Following Ozzy's death, Gaga previously paid tribute with a cover of his solo hit Crazy Train during her MAYHEM BALL show in San Francisco.
Meanwhile, this comes over 10 years after Gaga and Sharon became embroiled in an ugly public feud, following a row between Gaga and Sharon and Ozzy's daughter Kelly.
Gaga's fans reacted with fury after Kelly made comments about her weight on the E! show fashion police.
And, Gaga took to her own website to share an open letter to Kelly.
She wrote: 'I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path. Your work on E! with the Fashion Police is rooted in criticism, judgement, and rating people's beauty against one another.
'It used to make me truly sad when I would hear people talk about your weight when you were younger, as I was bullied too. To see you blossoming into a beautiful slender woman who makes fun of others for a living is astounding. Why not help others? Why not defend others who are bullied for their image and share your story?'
A furious Sharon defended her daughter, telling The Sun: 'By not repudiating her fans' bullying, she was condoning it. That's why I called her a hypocrite.
"I was so disappointed because I had always been a huge fan. I have been to three of her shows and she's undeniably a very talented woman.
"But you can't bang on about being anti-bullying and then refuse to tell your fans to stop haranguing other young women with nasty threats."
However, during a performance on the UK X Factor, Lady Gaga and Sharon appeared to resolve their differences, with Gaga giving Sharon a hug and a birthday cake for Kelly.

Controversial US comedian Matt Rife buys the Annabelle doll
US comedian Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Castee announced over the weekend that they've purchased the home the infamous Annabelle doll resides in. The doll was made famous by The Conjuring movie series that was based on the work of famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Warren claimed the foll was possessed by an evil spirit. Annabelle resides in the Warren's former home in Connecticut on the east coast of the US. Rife will be the legal guardian of the Annabelle doll, and the entire haunted collection, for at least the next five years. He and Castee plan to open the Warren home — in Monroe, Connecticut — for overnight stays and museum tours. They're doing it so that people can experience and learn all about the building's haunted history, Rife said. 'If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted,' Rife said. Rife said The Conjuring films have always been his favourite scary movies. 'I'm incredibly honoured to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history,' he said. Tony Spera, the Warrens' son-in-law and co-director of the late couple's organisation, New England Society for Psychic Research, clarified to that he and his wife still own the Warrens' collection, including the Annabelle doll, and are only leasing them to Rife and Castee. 'We have no plans to ever 'sell' the artifacts,' he said in a statement. Ed and Lorraine Warren's paranormal investigations were turned into the horror movies The Conjuring, Annabelle and The Nun. Actors Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga play Ed and Lorraine in the franchise. The Conjuring: Last Rites is the latest film in the series and will be released in September. In the three standalone films about Annabelle, the doll is given as a gift to a nursing student who noticed strange occurrences with the doll. The nurse and her roommate call the Warrens, who pronounce the doll 'demonically possessed,' remove it from the home and encase it 'in a glass box to contain the evil spirited entity', according to New England Society for Psychic Research. Ed Warren died in 2006 at 79, and Lorraine Warren died in 2019 at 92. The New England Society for Psychic Research did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Rife's announcement comes less than a month after paranormal investigator and Annabelle doll handler Dan Rivera died on the Devils on the Run Tour, which features the Annabelle doll. Rivera, 54, was found dead in a Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, hotel room on July 13. According to E! News, a July 16 police report labelled his death as 'natural', but a final cause of death won't be determined until an autopsy is completed.

Scary Spice Mel B's secret second wedding ceremony — see inside the lavish palace celebrations
Former Spice Girl Melanie 'Scary Spice' Brown has revealed she said 'I do' twice to her new husband, sharing private photos from inside her second wedding ceremony. Brown tied the knot with hairdresser Rory McPhee in a star-studded ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral in London on July 5.

The luxurious five-star hotel's website describes it as 'a palace of singular charm, a testament to the splendor of Moorish palaces and the epitome of Arab elegance'. While 'Baby Spice' Emma Bunton was the only former Spice Girl to attend Brown's London wedding, it appears 'Sporty Spice' Melanie Chisolm was at the second destination wedding, UK news outlet The Sun reported. 'What a weekend! So happy we got to share it with you,' Chisolm—, a new addition Seven's The Voice Australia coaching panel — commented on the Moroccan wedding photo. While Bunton liked Brown's photo, she made no reference to whether she attended the second wedding, The Sun added. 'Posh Spice' Victoria Beckham and 'Ginger Spice' Geri Horner are yet to comment. Brown's sister Danielle also shared pictures and videos of the celebrations, which show Brown dancing the night away with her guests. This is Brown's third marriage. She has three daughters from her previous relationships.

Don't miss out on the headlines from Cricket. Followed categories will be added to My News. England cricket fans have fumed that India should be disqualified from their Test match victory after Mohammed Siraj's 'cringe' celebration. Siraj, 31, didn't hold back during his celebrations after India stunned England to win the Fifth Test by six runs, The Sun reports. Australia vs South Africa T20I & ODI Series | Watch every ball LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. Siraj and his teammates pulled off a devastating showing as they took three wickets in just over 30 minutes of play to leave an injured Chris Woakes needing to take to the crease with his arm in a sling. Woakes, who has been out of the series since dislocating his shoulder on day one of the final Test, was forced to come out and partner Gus Atkinson and bat with one hand as England searched for just 17 runs to win the series. The drama came to an end when Siraj bowled out Atkinson to win the Test and draw the series. And the fast-bowler made sure everyone packed inside The Oval knew exactly how much it meant to him as he leapt up and celebrated by emulating Cristiano Ronaldo's 'Siu' celebration in the middle of the pitch.
