Trisha Paytas Videos Flooded With Ozzy Osbourne Comments
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The YouTuber Trisha Paytas has given birth to a third child with Moses Hacmon, which coincided with the death of British heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne. The coincidence has ushered in a new development in a bizarre, viral theory about Paytas' children. Newsweek has contacted Paytas for comment outside regular working hours. Why It Matters On Tuesday, Osbourne, the legendary frontman of Black Sabbath and godfather of heavy metal, died at the age of 76—weeks after an emotional farewell with fans at Villa Park in his hometown of Birmingham. Tributes have poured in for the "Prince of Darkness," who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and had suffered from ongoing health issues following a 2019 fall. What Is the Trisha Paytas Baby Theory? The original social media theory emerged in September 2022 when Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96. Twitter users noted that in the hours that preceded the death of the longest-reigning monarch in British history, Paytas—a nonbinary YouTube sensation—had announced that they had gone into labor with their first child. Social media users then decided that Paytas' child was the reincarnation of the monarch. This theory has gained traction over the years. When Paytas announced their third pregnancy, it coincided with the announcement that Pope Francis had died, sparking theories that their child would be the reincarnation of the pope. Paytas, addressing the theory on her podcast at the time, said, "I just don't get it." A composite image shows Trisha Paytas performing onstage during the Eras of Trish Tour in Austin on May 18 and Ozzy Osbourne at a signing in Long Beach, California, for his album "Patient Number 9"... A composite image shows Trisha Paytas performing onstage during the Eras of Trish Tour in Austin on May 18 and Ozzy Osbourne at a signing in Long Beach, California, for his album "Patient Number 9" on September 10, 2022. More/What To Know Paytas, 37, gained popularity online for lifestyle videos. The YouTuber, who has been associated with a plethora of controversies over the years, is the host of the podcast Just Trish. Paytas' first child, a daughter named Malibu Barbie, was born in 2022. They later welcomed their second child, a daughter named Elvis, on May 24, 2024. Their third child, Aquaman Moses, was born on July 12, 2025. Paytas announced his birth in an Instagram post on July 22. The post has been liked more than 1 million times as of reporting. Following Paytas' announcement, their social media pages have been flooded with comments about Osbourne. One comment on the Instagram post, which has been liked more than 68,000 times, said, "Ozzy, that you?" Meanwhile, a TikTok about the theory, which has been viewed more than 1.4 million times, said, "Trisha girl this needs to STOP." The post was captioned, "Wrong person Trish," and included screenshots of the death announcements of Queen Elizabeth II, Pope Francis and Osbourne. Newsweek spoke with entertainment journalist Indigo Stafford, who runs the pop culture news page IndigoReports, about the viral theory and why fans are so invested in it. "I think the internet is so obsessed with this theory because of how invested we are in Trisha Paytas as fans," Stafford told Newsweek over email. "She has become an internet sensation and almost a head of state for the chronically online (people who consume a lot of social media). She is known for being her real, raw, and authentic self online. And people love her unfiltered sense of dark humor. " Stafford said that ultimately, this is "what the Trisha Paytas baby conspiracy is." "It's a bit of online dark humor that's possibly gone too far, but that brings us some light relief in uncertain times—just like Trisha does," she continued. What People Are Saying Trisha Paytas said on their podcast: "Is it just any influential person that dies get to come reincarnated as my baby? … I don't understand why my womb is carrying all of these souls." Indigo Stafford, the entertainment journalist who runs the pop culture news page IndigoReports, told Newsweek: "You see all of the comments being left on news articles about the pope passing and now Ozzy. And all of the top comments are about Trisha Paytas. And you get to be part of a massive online inside joke that only some people are in on. I will admit there has been some very bizarre timing at play, which only makes the theory more interesting!" User @_lastday0nearth wrote on X in a post viewed 4.9 million times: "You're laughing. ozzy osbourne just got resurrected as trisha paytas' baby and you're f****** laughing." User @beyoncegarden wrote on X in a post viewed 1 million times: "Trisha paytas has officially reincarnated 3 people: queen elizabeth, pope francis, & ozzy osbourne, it's getting scary." What Happens Next The theory—which first piqued interest online almost three years ago, a veritable lifetime in internet years—has shown no signs of going away.

Steve Carell, Morgan Freeman Delivered Mail for USPS. Lots of Other Stars Too
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Even before the Founding Fathers declared that all men are created equal, one truth was already self-evident in the blossoming United States of America: The people need their mail. Established during the Second Continental Congress on July 26, 1775, the United States Postal Service has kept Americans connected for 250 years—from transporting letters on horseback to delivering e-commerce in green trucks. And over the years, some of America's most recognizable figures—including actors Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman—delivered mail before they made their big break. The 16th U.S. President Abraham Lincoln earned his famous moniker "Honest Abe" while postmaster in New Salem, Illinois, and aviator Charles Lindbergh became the famous "Lucky Lindy" as an airmail pilot. Even Walt Disney delivered mail before Mickey Mouse graced the silver screen, and a whole host of musicians started off as postal workers, including the legendary jazz bassist Charles Mingus.

FPG/Archive Photos/Getty "To be a jazz musician is a meager livelihood for most," USPS historian Steve Kochersperger told Newsweek. "He was a brilliant musician, but he depended on the Postal Service when he needed to pay the bills." Even "I'm Yours" singer Jason Mraz worked as a casual clerk before pursuing his music career. "All of our most precious documents, contracts, presents and checks from grandma go through their trusted hands," Mraz told Newsweek via email. "I personally think they are national service members that get overlooked—like park rangers, but for packages." Today, USPS processes and delivers on average over 370 million pieces of mail daily, thanks to its nationwide network of 640,000 employees and automated sorters. Though vehicular transportation has made mail delivery much faster than in its early days, the system still employs 6,450 "fleet of feet" workers who deliver mail entirely on foot. A testament to the reliability of its workers, the phrase "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" has long been attributed to the U.S. Postal Service. "That quote from the ancient Greek Herodotus is on the main post office building in New York City, where millions of people have seen it over the years and they've come to associate it with the Postal Service," Kochersperger said. "We embrace that." When I Was a Postal Worker...

I got an early look at the 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' trailer, and now I'm burning to see more
Last night, I attended a media screening for "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" at IMAX Sydney that held a special bonus for those who turned up early: Disney would be offering an early look at the upcoming trailer for "Avatar: Fire and Ash" ahead of the film, and not only that, the trailer would be shown in IMAX 3D. In fact, the trailer wasn't just shown once, but on a loop for around 20 minutes. I stopped counting after the first few times, but I would estimate that the trailer was shown around ten times in a row. Admittedly, the trailer kinda lost some of its initial wow factor after a few watches. That said, I'm still really excited to see the movie, as it looks like the most epic entry in the 'Avatar' franchise yet. While the trailer itself isn't online yet, it will be attached to theatrical showings of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps", which releases this Friday in the US. In the meantime, here's what I saw. Meet Varang in Avatar: Fire and among the first to watch the trailer, exclusively in theaters this weekend with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. 21, 2025 Right from the outset, it's clear that "Fire and Ash" will be the most intense chapter in the "Avatar" saga yet. For the first time, we see hostility amongst the Na'vi clans, with Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and the oceanic Metkayina clan drawn into a conflict with the Mangkwan clan, or Ash People, as they're also known. The Mangkwan are a clearly formidable clan, demonstrating a mastery of fire. Throughout the trailer, they are shown spreading fire from their fingertips, shooting flaming arrows, and burning down sections of forest. The trailer also shows the return of Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), whose Avatar form is shown walking alone into the Ash People territory. It's a more desolate area than we're used to seeing on Pandora, with an enormous volcano spewing red lava in the distance in one shot. The Ash People are led by Varang (Oona Chaplin), a Na'vi female with an unsettling presence who wears a red and black headdress and red war paint on her hands and face. At one point, Ouaritch is shown wearing the same red paint, indicating he will team up with the Varang in an attempt to take down the Sully family once and for all. Although the trailer doesn't outright explain the conflict, it's clear that the Ash People are ideologically opposed to the typical Na'vi way of life, outright rejecting the deity Eywa and choosing to live disconnected from the natural world that other Na'vi hold sacred. It also appears that Kiri (Sigourney Weaver) will once again play a major part in the story. In the trailer, we see Ronal (Kate Winslet) tell her, "If there's something you can do, then you must do it." During another moment, Varang eerily leans in towards Kiri and delivers the trailer's standout line, "Your goddess has no dominion here." As for Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), it appears as though the Sully matriarch has grown even angrier since the events of "Avatar: The Way of Water", with Jake at one point telling her "You cannot live like this, baby.... In hate!" Elsewhere, the trailer has plenty of action, including large-scale battles, the return of the Tulkun, and the character of Spider (Jack Champion) still seemingly torn about whether to side with the Na'vi or his fellow humans. For me, the trailer's most tantalizing moment is the scene depicting Jake's capture by human forces, where he's led before cheering crowds taking photos. Could this be the end of Jake Sully? I certainly hope not. Needless to say, I can't wait to see more of "Avatar: Fire and Ash". It looks to be the most epic and emotional entry in the series yet, and I've learned to never doubt director James Cameron. "Avatar: Fire and Ash" hits theaters on December 19 in the US and UK, and December 18 in Australia. With my hype for the movie now at an all-time high, I think I'll be diving into the "Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora" video game while I count the days until opening night.
