Aquaman actor Momoa will host the event, while Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello will serve as musical director. Other newly announced acts include Rival Sons, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, songwriter-producer Andrew Watt, and bassist Dave Ellefson.
In early February, Black Sabbath confirmed details of their last-ever live performance, which will feature the classic lineup of Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward. It will be the first time the original band has performed together in two decades.
'I'm not planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath but I am doing little bits and pieces with them,' Osbourne said recently on his Ozzy Speaks program on SiriusXM's Ozzy's Boneyard. 'I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable.'
Osbourne hasn't staged a full concert since Dec. 31, 2018, the final date of his No More Tours trek. Just two months later, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, and his health has since impacted further large-scale performance plans, leading to numerous cancellations.
Described as 'the final show' on promotional artwork, the Back to the Beginning lineup also features Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Pantera, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Alice in Chains and Halestorm, Gojira, among others.

Hunter Renfrow Signs with Panthers—and This Bizarre NFL Pattern Points to a Super Bowl Run

Hunter Renfrow Signs with Panthers—and This Bizarre NFL Pattern Points to a Super Bowl Run originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When former Clemson Tigers star Hunter Renfrow signed with the Carolina Panthers this offseason, it was already a compelling storyline. But now, according to the crew over at Pardon My Take, Renfrow might be walking straight into a Super Bowl destiny. Advertisement During a recent episode of the popular Barstool Sports podcast, hosts Big Cat and PFT Commenter dove into a bizarre—and oddly convincing—statistical pattern that suggests Carolina is on a crash course for the biggest game in football. It's the kind of thing that sounds too weird to be true, but when laid out, it becomes almost eerie. The theory originally came from a Panthers-focused podcast—likely the 'OVs and Giglo' show, as PFT jokingly mispronounced it. It starts with Ohio State winning the national championship in college football. That has happened in three key years: 2002, 2014, and 2024. Each time, a strange NFL pattern has followed involving the Panthers. Here's the sequence: 2002: Ohio State wins the national title. The Panthers finish with a losing record. The following year (2003), they open the NFL season against the Jaguars and go to the Super Bowl. 2014: Ohio State wins again. The Panthers finish with a losing record. The next season (2015), they open against Jacksonville—and again go to the Super Bowl. 2024: Ohio State just won the national championship. The Panthers had a losing season. And in 2025, they open the year… against the Jaguars.

The Pardon My Take guys don't think so. And it doesn't stop there. Advertisement PFT Commenter added another wrinkle—Jennifer Lopez's divorces. In each of those same years, filed for divorce: from Cris Judd in 2002, from Marc Anthony in 2014, and now in 2024, from Ben Affleck. If you're a Panthers fan, this is the kind of cosmic alignment that screams team of destiny. The joke may have started with a DM labeled the 'Tarek Skubal envelope' (a callback to a past sports prediction), but the trend is real enough to have fans placing futures bets. Now add Renfrow to the mix—a reliable slot receiver known for clutch catches and playoff moments—and suddenly, this feels less like internet nonsense and more like a prophecy in the making. He's already shown he can deliver in big moments. If the pattern holds, Renfrow may soon be doing it on the biggest stage of them all.

Zoe Saldaña says she ‘collapsed' immediately following her Oscars win for ‘Emilia Pérez'

It turns out Zoe Saldaña was more than just emotionally drained after tearfully accepting her supporting actress Oscar for 'Emilia Pérez' at this year's Academy Awards — she was also worn out physically. The 46-year-old actor explained Wednesday on the ABC talk show 'Live With Kelly and Mark' how she had been fighting a cold and felt fully exhausted immediately following one of her career-defining moments. 'I collapsed right after. I lost my voice within an hour after I won the award,' she said. 'I couldn't stand on those heels that I had. All I wanted to do was crawl in bed and maybe cry. I don't know why, I just needed to cry.' The 'Avatar' star noted that up until that point her body was running on all cylinders for months on end during awards season. 'Your body is running on pure adrenaline so you know that your immune system is in optimal condition, but once you tell your body that it's over, then everything sort of collapses,' Saldaña said. The Oscar victory capped an impressive awards season run for the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actor, having won the Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG and Critics' Choice awards for her role as Mexico City attorney Rita Castro in 'Emilia Pérez.' While her performance was almost universally celebrated and well-regarded, the film as a whole was heavily criticized for its incomplete and offensive portrayals of transgender issues and the lack of consideration taken in depicting Mexico. LGBTQ+ media advocacy group GLAAD declared the film is 'Not Good Trans Representation.' The organization did not nominate 'Emilia Pérez' for any GLAAD Media Awards. Although physically and emotionally exhausted, Saldaña managed to make some attention-grabbing statements in the Oscars press room after a Mexican journalist noted that the movie's presentation of Mexico was 'really hurtful for us Mexicans.' 'First of all, I'm very, very sorry that you and so many Mexicans felt offended,' Saldaña said in the defense of the film. 'That was never our intention. We spoke and came from a place of love, and I will stand by that.' She went on to further disagree with the Mexican journalist's point of view regarding the centrality and importance of Mexico in the 13-time Oscar nominated movie. 'For me, the heart of this movie was not Mexico. We were making a film about friendship. We were making a film about four women,' Saldaña explained. 'And these women are still very universal women that are struggling every day, but trying to survive systemic oppression and trying to find the most authentic voices.' Outside of the issues within the film, much of the main cast and crew of the movie was bogged down by mostly self-inflicted negative press. Actor Karla Sofía Gascón faced backlash in January after Canadian writer Sarah Hagi resurfaced tweets dating from 2016 to 2023 that spoke negatively of Muslims' clothing, language and culture in her home country of Spain. Additionally, Gascón caught heat for resurfaced comments about the 2020 killing of George Floyd, the ensuing racial reckoning, the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19-era Academy Awards ceremony in 2021. Gascón later apologized for her previous online remarks and deactivated her X account. The film's director Jacques Audiard spoke openly on record about how little he prepped to portray Mexico and denigrated the Spanish language during his press tour. When asked by a Mexican journalist at a red carpet event about how much he had to study up on Mexico and Mexican culture to prepare for the movie, Audiard gave a telling answer. 'No, I didn't study that much. What I needed to know, I already knew a little about,' the filmmaker said. 'It was more about capturing the little details and we came a lot to Mexico to see actors, to see locations, to see the decorations and so on.' Speaking with the French outlet Konbini, Audiard spoke down on the Spanish language, saying, 'Spanish is a language of modest countries, of developing countries, of the poor and migrants.' Audiard later apologized for his comments after the movie received backlash from Mexican audiences. Selena Gomez, who played a pivotal supporting role in the film, was criticized for her proficiency in Spanish. Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez was among those who called out Gomez's performance and Spanish language ability. Gomez has previously said her Spanish fluency waned after she started working in television at age 7. She responded to the criticism on social media, saying, 'I did the best I could with the time I was given. Doesn't take away from how much work and heart I put into this movie.' Derbez later apologized.

Eagles star Saquon Barkley stunningly hints he could retire ‘out of nowhere'

Saquon Barkley takes inspiration from his all-time favorite player and Hall of Fame running back, Barry Sanders. However, Eagles fans might not be keen on the inspiration Barkley discussed recently. Barkley hinted on the 'Green Light' podcast hosted by former Eagle Chris Long that, much like Sanders, his retirement could catch everyone by surprise. Advertisement 'Maybe one day, like it will be out of nowhere,' Barkley said on the episode that went live on Tuesday. 'I'll probably be ballin' and just be like 'Yeah, call it quits.'' Saquon Barkley talked about a potential retirement plan on Chris Long's 'Green Light' podcast. Green Light with Chris Long/YouTube Sanders famously retired in 1999 at the age of 31, just two years after being named the NFL MVP in 1997. Even in his final season, Sanders still put up impressive statistics: in 1998, he finished fourth in rushing yards with just under 1,500 yards. Advertisement Even with those numbers, Sanders still decided to call it a career. Barkley is coming off one of the best seasons any running back has had. The 28-year-old led the league in rushing with 2,005 yards, a historic season that earned him 2024 NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors. Advertisement Barkley's contributions to the Eagles' season culminated in their second-ever Super Bowl victory — and his jaw-dropping reverse hurdle landed him the vaunted cover of EA Sports' 'Madden NFL 26.' Saquon Barkley running past two New York Giants linebackers. Noah K. Murray-NY Post In March, he inked a two-year, $41.2 million deal to become the NFL's first running back to break the $20 million-per-year mark to keep him in the Philly fold through the 2028 season. While the situation — coupled with his comments to Long — might mirror Sanders' situation a little too closely for some, there's no reason to panic just yet. Advertisement Barkley is already preparing for his follow-up. '(The) 2025 season has nothing to do with the 2024 season,' Barkley said. 'You just focus on the things that got you there. Like I said, you know the recipe, but it doesn't matter what happened a year prior.' At least, not until next year, when his retirement comments undoubtedly pop up again.
