This Isn't the First Time These Hard Rock Legends Have Said Goodbye
This Isn't the First Time These Hard Rock Legends Have Said Goodbye originally appeared on Parade. With the big "Back to the Beginning" farewell /Black Sabbath concert extravaganza set for July 5, fans might recall that this isn't the first time that the iconic frontman and hard rock legends have said goodbye. Back in 2016, the band was on a tour billed as 'The End,' to support their 2013 album 13. That album opens with a song titled 'End of the Beginning,' in which Osbourne sings 'Is this the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end?' 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Back then, Black Sabbath discussed doing one final album followed by another tour but decided to scrap their plans for another studio effort and instead opted to hit the road on a four-leg trek that hit Australia and New Zealand, then Europe, before closing in North America. In advance of that tour, this writer interviewed Osbourne and bassist/lyricist for Yahoo! Music in Osbourne's office, in the back of his Beverly Hills estate. Both Sabbath legends said during that interview the decision to forgo another studio effort came down primarily to a matter of time. 'It would have taken another three years to write and record another album,' Osbourne explained. 'We just felt we wanted to tour.'Back in 2016, Osbourne was already talking like the band was finished after 'The End' tour. 'I'm glad we're all still alive. I'm glad we can still play. I'm glad that we all still want to play, and I'm glad it's the end because we didn't want to fizzle out,' he added. 'To end up with a final thing with the guys I started off with is great. I'm not saying I'm retiring, because I'm still going to be doing some kind of musical thing, but it's been a great journey. We never thought when we first went into the studio in 1969, early 1970, that we were going to last five years, and here we are nearly 50 years up the road and we're still active. That's what really is important to me. "One of my favorite things is we weren't a band that was created by some business guy in London,' Osbourne continued. 'We're four guys. I was in a band with Terry [Geezer], [guitarist] Tony [Iommi] was in a band with [drummer] Bill [Ward]. I went to school with Tony. We came from a three-mile radius of each other, and we formed a band to have a bit of fun and here we are on this amazing journey. I'm glad it's coming to an end on a high note, for a change.'

Sydney Sweeney Is Facing A Backlash Over Her New American Eagle Campaign. Here's What People Are Saying
Sydney Sweeney's new collaboration with the fashion brand American Eagle has become the centre of a whole lot of debate. The Euphoria star unveiled a new campaign with the American clothing brand last week, to promote their line of denim last week. However, it didn't take long before social media clips to promote the deal sparked a wave of discomfort among many critics, largely due to some of the language that's used in the campaign. This is the story so far… What is Sydney Sweeney's new ad campaign for American Eagle all about? For American Eagle's autumn 2025 campaign, Sydney Sweeney can be seen sporting items from the brand's denim range, including a new pair of jeans inspired by her. The campaign also makes use of the slogan 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans', a pun on the term 'great genes'. In another, she explains: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour.' 'My jeans are blue,' she then quips, at which point a narrator delivers the line: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Why are some people upset about Sydney Sweeney's new ads for American Eagle? Unfortunately this repeated use of the slogan 'great jeans', a pun on 'great genes', has put some viewers in mind of the language used by white supremacists and eugenicists. By centring a blonde, white star in a campaign referencing 'genes', some critics are accusing the brand of tone-deafness at best – particularly in the current political climate – and deliberately pushing a white supremacist agenda at worst. HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for both Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle for comment. Others are pointing out that Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign doesn't mention one other important aspect of the product American Eagle's new 'Sydney Jean' features a butterfly detail on its back pocket, in a nod to domestic violence awareness, a cause which the White Lotus star has championed throughout her career. In fact, an American Eagle press release confirmed that '100% of the purchase price from 'The Sydney Jean' will be donated to Crisis Text Line', a charity in the US which aims to help those affected by domestic violence. However, the ads are also being criticised for not highlighting this key part of the campaign, with some saying its accompanying slogan is even more jarring as a result. Has Sydney Sweeney or American Eagle said anything about the controversy? Not yet, but we'll be sure to keep you updated if and when they do… READ MORE: Glen Powell's Ex Makes Veiled Comments About How Sydney Sweeney Rumours Affected Relationship Sydney Sweeney Fires Back After Producer's Takedown Of Her Looks And Talent Sydney Sweeney Makes Blunt Comment On Women's Empowerment In Hollywood

WWE Raw results, highlights (July 28): Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed destroy Roman Reigns, Jey Uso
The go-home edition of "WWE Raw" before SummerSlam burned the house down in Detroit with some unexpectedly creative angles and matches. That's not to say we didn't encounter some of the typical weekly nonsense, but this was as good as it gets for a weekly offering on a Monday night. Bookended by bollocks I can't be the only one who feels like Jey Uso's realignment with Roman Reigns is one of the bigger revisions of history in recent memory. At least that's how Uso's typical, sweaty, winded promo came off as he failed to counter Paul Heyman, who laid out the truth about The Bloodline's history and how Reigns treated him. It's remarkable how Seth Rollins' justified reasoning for "heel" work over the past year has quickly permeated Heyman's character. The more you peel back this onion, these guys really are more anti-heroes than they're supposed to be (or at least more than they're portrayed). Honestly, the whole segment was pretty ramble-heavy from both men, but still served as an appetizer for the most predictable DQ main event imaginable: Uso vs. Bronson Reed. The match was pretty solid until Bron Breakker just ran out to spear Uso and force Uso's DQ win. Seriously, what's even the point, man? Not just with these consistent, stupid DQ endings, but specifically with Rollins' crew, who evidently don't care about winning matches whatsoever unless implications are on the line. Why wouldn't Breakker just attack immediately? There's zero logic behind him waiting and giving his man a chance to lose or take damage. It's dumb, and I'm becoming a broken record at this point. Reigns predictably made the save, as he was advertised for Monday's show and hadn't been seen once until the match started. It was all just a tease for the SummerSlam tag-team match, closing with Breakker looking like a monster when he hit a double spear through the barricade. However, let's address a different problem that has come from the Rollins injury fallout. Missing man LA Knight has been completely screwed. He's gone. Where is he? Since Knight essentially got buried in the World Heavyweight Championship contender gauntlet match after Saturday Night's Main Event, he's been off television. Rumor has it that he was lined up for a big rematch against Rollins at SummerSlam to get his redemption. If that's the case, his absence should debunk any conspiracies about the legitimacy of Rollins' injury and a surprise SummerSlam cash-in. Though if that does end up happening, and Knight has just been discarded away in the meantime, I don't know how he doesn't walk out of the company after what would be a complete and utter mishandling of his character. Even as we stand now, not having Knight on TV at all is a mishandling of the highest order. Sure, it's not his fault that things have unfolded this way, but man — how do you leave one of the most over acts on your roster off TV when they heated up so much after you booked them pretty damn well? All hope — at least for SummerSlam — appears lost for "The Megastar." The start and the end of this "Raw" were mostly all that was bad about it, though. Let's get into all the good that was the rest of the show. 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 I am so wildly impressed and satisfied with the levels of creativity we saw in the opening match on this "Raw." This is what happens when Triple H tries. We get the Uncrowned Gem of the Night, this time in the form of AJ Styles and The Kabuki Warriors vs. The Judgement Day's Dominick Mysterio, Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. Mixed tag-team matches are always somewhat of a tricky arena to navigate, but this was a first — one male with two female teammates is something I can't recall. At least not recently. The dynamic of having the genders only able to go against each other made this a puzzle, but it was handled surprisingly well, and all built to Styles tagging in for a massive pop once he got his hands on Mysterio. After that there was even some creative trios offense to finish the match, with Styles absolutely launching Kairi Sane over the ropes into Rodriguez. He followed it with the Phenomenal Forearm on Mysterio to get the win. It was far from the best match you'll ever see due to its inherent restrictions, but even with those in place, it was pretty damn great. This was fun and worked so, so well. 😅 Miscalculation of the Night Taking Lyra Valkyria seriously with her big, silly shoes on was going to be impossible until she addressed them as her "Becky Stompers." I laughed. Overall, she delivered a good promo before it descended into silliness when Becky Lynch's music hit. Lynch never appeared, but instead just kind of bumbled around by the apron with a kendo stick before Valkyria used her Spidey Senses to detect Lynch and run the ropes, kicking her in the head. Then Lynch took a plethora of shots from the kendo stick without any defense, watching them all come her way. Listen, this was undeniably hilarious, but I'm not sure it was bad. It didn't make Valkyria look dumb — it was actually quite the opposite, because Lynch just kind of decided to hang out near the ring. It wasn't good, but I don't know. The feud has obviously been exhausted and the trilogy title match will be great. 👍 MONDAY NIGHT MONEY 👍 1. WWE opened "Raw" with another tribute to Hulk Hogan, as it was the first Monday show since the legend's passing. Rather than just repeating the video from Friday's "SmackDown," this was a different and equally great highlight montage. The Detroit crowd also seemed much more receptive with its cheers than Friday's Cleveland crowd was. 2. Sheamus defeated Grayson Waller with the Brogue Kick in a fine match. It wasn't quite a squash, but it wasn't that competitive either. Ultimately, it was a vehicle to continue the Sheamus vs. Rusev feud, as Rusev tried to cost Sheamus the win but failed before attacking post-match. If interference is going to happen, do it this way. There was no need for shenanigans to ruin that match of all matches, anyway. A Sheamus vs. Rusev best-of-seven works for me. 3. In Rollins' absence, it looks like Breakker is starting to take over in that leader role of the group. He suddenly isn't a barking bozo henchman anymore, and that's great to see. He already feels legit acting as a leader. 4. After the lackluster Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross rematch, the pair delivered a phenomenal backstage interview segment with Kross continuing to tease Zayn to show his true colors. These guys are so great together that it almost feels like they should have a neverending thing going similar to Rollins and Punk. Regardless, hopefully, we get an epic — brief — conclusion at SummerSlam. 5. I'm not really sure what to make of Bayley's admission of directionlessness. It's hard to imagine she won't play some part in Lynch vs. Valkyria, but if I didn't know better, this felt like a pre-departure promo. Bayley's emotion was palpable through the screen, leaving us with intrigue about what's next. 6. Stephanie Vaquer hit the SVB on Chelsea Green (with The Secret Hervice and Naomi) to get the win for her team, including Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky and Nikki Bella. This was essentially an all-stars vs. the champion and modern-day J.O.B. Squad match. There was zero chance of Naomi's team winning, but an easy element to play off of would've been the fact that Ripley, Sky and Vaquer are all enemies within the same title scene. It didn't matter, though. The match was surprisingly good and had some great spots, like Piper Niven taking out Sky and Bella after doing Sky's taunt. That led to her facing off with Ripley before the finish. More than anything, this was yet another big Vaquer showcase, as her hot tag led to her taking out all four of her opponents. She's being set up so perfectly as a future long-reigning champion. It doesn't matter who comes out of SummerSlam as the Women's World Champion; the winner is just keeping that belt warm until Clash In Paris. I'm thoroughly convinced. One little closer note, it was nice to see Naomi not act like a typical coward champion when she started the match against Ripley. 🤷 IT HAPPENED 🤷 1. The Judgment Day defended their World Tag Team titles against LWO. It was a stellar match, as expected, but was way more overbooked than anticipated and unnecessary. El Grande "Amerikaiser" ran to the ring purely to get into it with Dragon Lee before another masked man cost LWO the match. As much as I love Ludwig Kaiser, Chad Gable's injury really dampened the silly nature of the Americano character, and it's just "meh" with Kaiser under the mask. It doesn't help that he could be doing better things as himself. 2. Gunther and CM Punk had another promo battle. Before it started, I couldn't help but think about how awfully booked Gunther has been since WrestleMania 41. He doesn't even wrestle on "Raw" anymore. Anyway, the promo battle was good and intense, but something stuck out that didn't quite land. Punk essentially ripped off Eddie Guerrero's classic "addicted" promo on Brock Lesnar. It didn't work mostly because of where the two men were in their careers at the time of their deliveries. Guerrero had yet to be a world champion, whereas Punk has literally been there and done that. He doesn't need to be a champion at all, and his current run has proven that, yet that's what he declared in the face of Gunther. 👑 "SmackDown" is getting the short end of the booking stick lately because "Raw" seems to have more of the consistent goods, and this show was no exception. I give this "Raw" a Crown score of: 9/10. 👑
