Berghaus Has Relaunched 'That' Jacket – the One Made Famous by Liam Gallagher
Through it all,Berghaus– the British outerwear brand with a German-sounding name – was right there in the mix. In 1997, at an Oasis show in Oslo, Liam Gallagher appeared on-stage wearing a redMerujacket by Berghaus. Liam, the younger Gallagher brother, was already known for having a penchant for long parkas and statement outerwear, but his choice that night – captured in a now-iconic photograph – catapulted the brand into the consciousness of both Oasis fans and the fashion-obsessed.
Now, Berghaus is marking the moment by rereleasing theMerujacket in 'the exact colorway Liam wore' as part of theConcert Collection, a limited-edition capsule that also features two other iconic pieces from the Berghaus archive. TheMerujacket, which originally launched in 1994, is being made available in 'Red/Blue' (Liam's choice), 'Purple/Grey' and 'Green/Black'. Berghaus is also resurrecting theTrangojacket, a heavy-duty waterproof jacket from 1986 that it describes as 'specialist powerhouse'. TheTrangofeatures a triple layer of GORE-TEX for maximum protection from wind and water, and comes in choices of 'Red/Blue', 'Red/Grey' and 'Grey/Dark Blue'. Alongside the jackets, the brand is launching the1997 Fleece– a new piece in its range, even if its name suggests otherwise – that it calls a 'staple [with] the DNA of an icon'. The fleece features a boxy cut for elevated coziness, with colors available including 'Red/Blue', 'Red/Grey' and 'Green/Grey'.
The fullConcert Collectionis available now via Berghaus'websitewith prices starting at £120 GBP (approx. $162 USD).

Eugenie Bouchard fights back tears after last tennis match of career
Eugenie Bouchard couldn't contain her emotions on Wednesday night as the tennis star said goodbye to the sport she loves for one final time after falling in the National Bank Open in Montreal. Bouchard, 31, addressed the crowd after she fell to No. 17 seed Belinda Bencic, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 in the final singles match of her professional tennis career. She confirmed earlier in July that she planned to play her final tournament in her hometown and struggled to compose herself as she spoke to the crowd. 'Tennis has given me so much. I am filled with so much gratitude for this sport and the people that helped me along the way,' she said before pausing momentarily to collect herself. 'I want to thank my mom, dad, sisters, & brother for their sacrifice and support. I want you to know, when this crowd cheers for me, they're cheering for you too. I wouldn't be here without you. 'Also to all the coaches, physios, trainers, everyone I've worked with. You all know who you are. Because of your hard work I was able to live out my dreams, thank you!' Bouchard had a memorable career, becoming the first Canadian-born player representing Canada to reach a Grand Slam singles final and the first Canadian to rank in the WTA's top 5. She reached the semifinals in the 2014 Australian Open and the French Open and made it to the final at Wimbledon that year, where she lost to Petra Kvitova. 'With her standout achievements on court and engagement with fans, Genie has inspired a generation of young Canadians and helped grow the popularity of tennis around the world. On behalf of the WTA, I wish her every happiness and success as she sets out to conquer fresh challenges,' WTA CEO Portia Archer said in a statement on Wednesday night.

David Kirouac-Imagn Images Before her final match on Wednesday, actor and star of the hit CBS sitcom 'Big Bang Theory' Jim Parsons wrote a heartfelt tribute to Bouchard, recalling the wild ride he experienced following her run at Wimbledon in 2014. Parsons recalled how he and his husband, Todd Spiewak, were invited to watch Bouchard play after they were introduced to each other by their managers. After schedules were sorted, Parsons and Spiewak flew to London to watch the Canadian star make it all the way to the final round.

'Genie, I will never forget the steely focus and icy resolve you had as a player, something I may not have understood had you not invited me into your world to witness up close… 'Congratulations on all you've accomplished. Thank you — and your whole family—for being so inclusive to us groupies for two weeks in Wimbledon.'

Ozzy Osbourne's longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde reveals emotional final text message from late rocker
Zakk Wylde revealed his final text with Ozzy Osbourne. The Prince of Darkness' longtime guitarist shared the last words they ever exchanged just weeks before Osbourne's death on July 22 at the age of 76. Wylde, 58, said their emotional text conversation took place after Black Sabbath's farewell concert in Birmingham, England, on July 5, marking what became the heavy metal legend's last performance of his lifetime. 14 Ozzy Osbourne and Zakk Wylde. Redferns 14 British musician Ozzy Osbourne (left) and American guitarist Zakk Wylde perform at the Poplar Creek Music Theater in Hoffman Estates, Chicago, in 1989. Getty Images While the musician was there to watch Osbourne and his bandmates — Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler — perform at Villa Park, he didn't get to see the rocker backstage after the show because it was so hectic. 'Everybody and their mother were in the backstage dressing room and I just wanted to give him a break,' the Black Label Society musician explained to Guitar World in an interview published on Tuesday, July 29. Wylde knew Osbourne was ill but figured he'd see him in the coming days, although that never happened. Instead, the two swapped loving text messages. 14 Getty Images 14 Getty Images 'The last text I got from Oz was saying, 'Zakky, sorry, it was like a madhouse back there. I didn't see you.' He goes, 'Thanks for everything.' It was just us talking, saying, 'I love you, buddy.' That was it,' he revealed of their last communication. The guitarist reflected on the Black Sabbath concert. 'It was definitely pretty amazing. Seeing Oz onstage when Sabbath got done, that's the last time I saw him,' Wylde stated. 14 WireImage Calling it 'business as usual,' the musician said his priority was 'making sure that Oz was okay.' Wylde also spoke about his close relationship with Osbourne, who was the godfather of his oldest child. 'Oz was just the best,' he said. 'I have my father, who was a World War II veteran; and then Ozzy, who was almost like an older brother. There was almost a 20-year age gap between us. With our relationship, there was the fun drinking – but if I ever needed advice, I could talk to him.' 14 WireImage 14 Greg Draven/X 'I'm blessed and grateful, man. Anything other than that would be selfish,' Wylde noted of their friendship. 'And on top of it, to go out with what's the biggest-grossing charity event of all? That's unbelievable. He helped a whole lot of people instead of making a profit. My God, what an incredible master. What an incredible life,' he added of Osbourne's final concert. When the interviewer told Wylde that his working relationship with the 'Crazy Train' singer seemed 'more familial' than any of Osbourne's other guitarists, he agreed. 14 Charles Wenzelberg 'Yeah, that's how I've always looked at it. Ozzy is the godfather of our oldest son. Whether I was playing with him or not, if Sharon called me and my wife up and said, 'Guys, can you watch the house while we're away on a business trip?' I'd do it. It's like, 'If you need me to bring milk and eggs over, I'll do it,'' he stated. He noted that their chemistry was instant. 'It was – with all your friends in your life, lions attract lions, you know? And the hyenas you hang out with, that sorts itself out later! But Ozzy was the easiest-going, warmest guy. He was so easy to get along with,' Wylde shared. 14 Ozzy Osbourne/Instagram The New Jersey native teamed up with the Black Sabbath frontman in 1987, replacing Jake E. Lee after he exited the group. 'I was always like, 'Guys, I worship Sabbath,' the musician remembered. 'Anything I'm gonna write will have Lord Iommi as the base of the soup. It's in my DNA.' To Wylde, his bond with Osbourne was unmatched. 14 Getty Images for SiriusXM 'It was definitely beyond just us playing in a band together and making music,' he said elsewhere in the interview. Wylde made a name for himself when he debuted his guitar skills on Osbourne's 1988 album, 'No Rest for the Wicked.' He was also featured on the two records that followed: 'No More Tears' in 1991 and 'Ozzmosis' in 1995. Wylde was replaced by former Lizzy Borden guitarist Joe Holmes after 'Ozzmosis,' but it didn't last long. 14 Getty Images He returned to Osbourne's band in 2001 and continued weaving in and out of the 'Mama, I'm Coming Home' singer's orbit through the next several years until returning in 2017 for the 'No More Tours II' tour. Wylde was also part of the all-star performance that paid tribute to Osbourne at his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2024, his second after being inducted with Black Sabbath in 2006. Osbourne passed away with his loved ones by his side last week. 14 Anita Maric / SWNS 14 Getty Images 14 Getty Images '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,' his family confirmed in a statement to The Post. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis.' On Wednesday, July 30, thousands of fans lined the streets for the rocker's funeral procession in his hometown of Birmingham, England. His wife of over 40 years, Sharon Osbourne, 72, and four of his six children, including Kelly, Aimee, Jack and Louis, the latter from his first marriage, were also in attendance. Osbourne's family broke down and sobbed as they viewed the tributes to Ozzy left by his fans. They also paid homage to their patriarch by wearing several items belonging to the rock icon during the procession.

White House uses sarcastic TikTok meme in ICE deportation video; what is Jet2 holiday?
The official White House Instagram and X accounts shared a deportation video with a bright, joyful pop song playing in the background, while lines of downcast, handcuffed men boarded a deportation plane. The song, known online as the Jet2 Holiday meme, is often used to poke fun at travel misadventures. Thousands of users instantly commented on the clip, which features a cameo by President Donald Trump smiling and giving a thumbs up. "Never thought I'd see the official White House account mock people being deported," user Sukhveer Warring wrote. "Had to double, and then triple check, at who posted this," British journalist Will Lancaster posted. "Lost for words," he added. Some users found it humorous and commented with laughing emojis. Others responded by posting pictures of Trump alongside convicted sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein. The video also shows a screenshot of the U.S. government app CBP Home, which allows people to self-deport. What is the Jet2 holiday song? The song used was "Hold My Hand" by British pop singer Jess Glynne. Since 2015, it has featured in a campaign advertising the UK-based tour operator Jet2holidays, a subsidiary of British airline Jet2. In recent weeks, the song has regained popularity after becoming part of a viral TikTok trend in which users — sarcastically or mockingly — post videos of vacation disasters with the song playing in the background. With 37 million likes, the most viral video using the ad song shows someone pulling open a giant curtain in what appears to be a hotel room, only to find a tiny window behind it. The song has also been used on videos depicting floodings, adventure disasters, and boating mishaps. Juan Carlos Castillo is a New Jersey-based trending reporter for the USA Today Network.
