Kelly Osbourne gets engaged at Ozzy Osbourne's last Black Sabbath show
The Slipknot DJ popped the question to the singer and TV personality at Birmingham, England's Villa Park on Saturday in a moment shared on social media by his betrothed.
'Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world,' he said before her potty-mouthed father interjected: 'F–k off, you're not marrying my daughter.'
Wilson went on to extol Kelly's virtues as he made his marital intentions known.
'Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you,' the 48-year-old said. 'So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?'
Kelly, 40, appeared shocked by the proposal. She nodded yes before embracing Wilson as everyone cheered them on. Her mother, Sharon Osbourne, and brother Jack were also present.
The couple, who share 2-year-old son Sidney, went public with their romance on Valentine's Day 2022.
'After 23 years of friendship I can't believe where we have ended up,' Kelly captioned an Instagram snapshot of the pair kissing. 'You are my best friend, my soulmate and I am so deeply in love with you Sidney George Wilson.'
Her father, has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, announced in 2023 that he is retiring from live performances after more than 50 years.
Ozzy, 76, original Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler, drummer Bill Ward and guitarist Tony Iommi reunited for the first time in two decades at the 'Back to the Beginning' concert, which was livestreamed in the U.K.
The 10-hour show, hosted by Jason Momoa, also featured performances from Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Steven Tyler and Jack Black, among others.
During his set, the British rocker sang hits such as 'Crazy Train' and 'Mama I'm Coming Home' while sitting in a black, throne-like chair with a bat on top.

Oasis fans STILL find clever way to see Heaton Park screens from outside after 'Gallagher Hill' closed off
Oasis fans STILL managed to see the screens from outside the huge Heaton Park gig on Wednesday night (July 16) - despite the 'Gallagher Hill' being closed by the council. At the weekend, ticketless fans joined forces at a space next to the concert area which has now been aptly named 'Gallagher Hill'. Crowds still managed were able to hear the on-stage action and catch glimpses of the band through trees. But those hoping for a similar experience on Wednesday were told not to come to the venue without a ticket, whilst Manchester Council also erected new fences blocking access to the hill spot.

But it seemed another group of hopefuls without tickets managed to score possibly the best view from outside - by climbing atop a wall on the outskirts of the park and using their mobile phones to zoom in on one of the stage screens to see it clearly. 'F***ing hell that's mega" one person said as a group of men scaled the fences and raised their arms above the barriers surrounding the stage area. Whilst fans were warned by Manchester Council not to head to Heaton Park if they didn't have a ticket, some people still gathered at the nearby 'Gallagher's Hill' despite it being fenced off to block off views of the stage. Large crowds also gathered and sat on walls and pavements along Bury Old Road, sitting on deck chairs, dancing and enjoying drinks outside while they sang along to the music echoing across the area. Join our Oasis WhatsApp group HERE Red flares were also let off in the grounds of Heaton Park, as other ticketless fans gathered to climb trees and the fences to enjoy the evening together. The band are continuing their five-night run of shows here in the city this evening, with a further two shows set to take place this weekend. --- Day in day out, our reporters in the Manchester Evening News newsroom bring you remarkable stories from all aspects of Mancunian life.

I dumped my boyfriend on our second anniversary vacation after issuing this ultimatum — does that make me a ‘walking red flag'?
If he liked it, then he shoulda put a ring on it — and for failing to do so, this newly single lady gave her beau the old heave-ho. But side-eyeing social media skeptics say her ex 'dodged a bullet' by not popping the big question. 'On our first date, I told him he had two years to purpose,' began Bela Marie, a self-worth influencer, in the closed-captions of a trending tell-all with over 10 million TikTok views. 'On our two-year anniversary, I broke up with him.' He missed her deadline. Now the relationship has flatlined. However, rather than applauding the no-nonsense siren for sticking to her guns, cyber critics are labeling Marie 'ridiculous,' 'wild' and a walking 'red flag,' arguing that a two-year romance is too short to make a lifetime commitment. And her haters aren't totally wrong. Only a mere 30% of couples date for two years or less before getting engaged, per a recent survey of 8,000 fiancés, via The Knot. A whopping 53% of lovebirds agree to get hitched after two to five years together, according to the wedding experts, while a slim 17% wait six years or more. It's a serious step that deserves serious consideration — especially right now, when divorce rates are skyrocketing. And Marie seems to agree. 'THANK GOD I did not marry that man,' she captioned her viral vid, in part. 'On our two-year anniversary, after he flew me out to Catalina, surprised me with a suite and a beautiful boat around the island to celebrate 'our love,' and planned a beautiful long weekend trip— he did not propose,' continued the brunette. 'So l broke up with him and ended our relationship.' 'There were so many reasons I should have left prior, but I decided to stay — and this was the tipping point,' Marie ranted. 'I'm blessed every day that this man is no longer in my life, and I'm proud of myself for sticking by my gut and what I told him on our first date.' With her virtual megaphone, she went on to encourage women not to 'waste time…on the WRONG PERSON.' 'After two years of being together, he was still uncertain about marrying me,' wrote Marie, 'then I wasn't going to wait around to change his mind, beg for him to help me achieve my goals, or work harder out of this idea that I needed to 'prove my worth.'' 'He didn't make a move. So I did — I left,' she barked. 'Consistency without commitment is just convenience.' 'And I'm around for a man that commits. Not a boy that wants to waste my time.' Gals in agreement with Marie's steadfastness saluted her with support. 'Don't move your boundaries for anyone, ever,' cheered a commenter, punctuating her approval of Marie's move with the clapping emoji. 'Planning a beautiful trip like that for your anniversary and not proposing is cruel,' another noted. 'I stayed… for 10 years & he still was unsure,' confessed a separate woman. 'We deserve better.' 'If someone doesn't know after 2 YEARS, run,' an equally caring ally advised. 'So proud of you.' 'I love this generation of woman leaving at the drop of a hat and not falling for sunken cost fallacy,' chimed another. 'It's amazing!.'

Games Workshop Removes Gendered Language From ‘Horus Heresy' Rulebooks
Games Workshop's ongoing, fraught relationship with conservative elements of its Warhammer fanbase has led to increasing flashpoints whenever the miniatures maker has attempted to diversify the worldbuilding of its beloved tabletop game. But one lingering back-and-forth among fans simmering long before Games Workshop found itself in the crossfires of the culture war has been brought into light again thanks to the latest edition of one of its games: whether or not a female Space Marine could exist. Last week Games Workshop opened pre-orders for the third edition of Horus Heresy, a Warhammer spinoff tabletop game set during the titular civil war, 10,000 years before the ongoing events of Warhammer 40K. Inspired by the beloved book series of the same name, Horus Heresy lets players live out the conflict between the loyal forces of the Imperium of Man and the Traitor Legions that fell to the corruption of Chaos under the sway of Horus Lupercal, the primarch of the Luna Wolves Space Marines who turned against the Emperor. But as reviews and access to the new rulebooks for the latest edition have gotten into players hands, so too have they discovered that Games Workshop has rolled back specific mentions of gender when it comes to the process of creating a Space Marine as described in the lore within the new rulebook. As Wargamer reports, a sidebar section of the new rule book describing the Space Marine creation process titled 'Process of Initiation' no longer explicitly acknowledges the necessity of gender for potential recruits Although, of course, vague—the new rulebook does not go so far as to mention the possibility of female Marines but simply removes any discussion of gender from the process entirely—it stands in stark contrast to the rulebook for the game's second edition released in 2022, which was criticized by progressives at the time for its specific notation that the creation of a Space Marine requires the 'hormonal and biological make-up of the human male,' for its parallels to transphobic language around trans identities. Putting aside the fact that this is a heavily fictionalized process, the creation of a Space Marine has always been a transhumanist idea regardless of any particular gender binary, even if Warhammer's world has, up to this point, kept Space Marines as masculine identities in both the fiction around 40K and the miniatures it offers. The process of elevating a human into a Space Marine relies on chemical, hormonal, and surgical transformation, adding extra organs and increasing the physical density and strength of their bodies to become a superhuman ideal. Even though the science behind it is fiction, there is nothing inherently gendered about it despite what the previous edition stated. If anything, it's easy to see why fans have expressed interest in seeing female Marines or reading allegories of trans identity into them. The question of whether or not female-presenting Space Marines could be possible in Warhammer 40K's setting, then, has been the topic of debate for fans for a long time, well before Horus Heresy's rulebooks clumsily waded in and out of that debate in the last few years. Games Workshop has, outside of that 2022 rulebook, had a hands-off approach to that debate themselves, largely leaving the Space Marines, 40K's most popular faction (and the face of the company, for better or worse), out of its attempts to diversify its storytelling and model offerings. Instead, it's simply been left open to players themselves to come up with their own custom miniatures and headcanons to incorporate female forces into their own imaginings of the Adeptus Astartes. The closest Games Workshop itself arguably came to advancing the matter in an official capacity came last year when it introduced a female member of the Emperor's personal guard, the Adeptus Custodes (a faction that is distinct from, but adjacent to, the Space Marines), for the first time in Warhammer fiction. The addition—alongside a statement from Games Workshop declaring that female Custodes had always existed despite a lack of representation in either the fiction or in physical tabletop product in an official capacity—centered the company as a target of right-wing cultural commentators eager to present the choice as a capitulation to 'wokeness.' It was the latest in a series of recent examples that strained Games Workshop's reconciliation of its own progressive values and ideas as a company with segments of its audience that do not see Warhammer 40K's grim, dark future as the satire of conservative and authoritarian politics that the company has long struggled to communicate the intent of. But the decision to explicitly remove the gendered language from the latest edition of Horus Heresy at least indicates the company's desire to continue making steps to reflect the broader diversity of Warhammer's player base in spite of these struggles with its complicated legacy in the culture war.
