Ozzy Osbourne Sold Cans of His DNA Just Before His Death
Ozzy Osbourne sold cans with his DNA on it only a month before his death at the age of 76.
In collaboration with drink company Liquid Death, the legendary rocker sold ten cans of "Infinitely Recyclable Ozzy" for $450 each in June.
"Yes, we really got the Prince of Darkness to drink from 10 cans of our low-calorie Iced Tea. And yes, he actually crushed each can himself. In the process, he left behind trace DNA from his saliva that you can now own. He even hand-signed each packaging label." the product's description read.
"Now, when technology and federal law permits, you'll be able to replicate Ozzy Osbourne and enjoy him for hundreds of years into the future. Only 10 available to buy," it continued. "DNA integrity and cloning results not guaranteed."
What the lucky 10 do with the cans is up to them, though Osbourne did have one suggestion before he passed, sharing in a statement: "Clone me, you bastards."
One of the buyers was revealed to be Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, who performed with Black Sabbath during their farewell tour and was a longtime fan of Osbourne.
Barker announced the news by sharing a picture of his "Infinitely Recyclable Ozzy" can on his Instagram stories last month.
Though Osbourne encouraged his fans to clone him after his death, Liquid Death maintains on their website that Osbourne is "1 of 1" but that they were selling his DNA to "recycle him forever."

Vogue First! Get 24 Hours Early Access to Shop Staud Jeans
Denim aficionados, listen up! On July 31, Los Angeles-based fashion brand Staud is expanding its core collection to include denim, aptly named, Staud Jeans. After a handful of buzzy collaborations with Wrangler, the long-anticipated category is ready to be revealed. The denim focuses on five, core jean silhouettes that every closet needs, plus, one perfect jacket—and Vogue readers get the exclusive first look (and shopping rights!) twenty four hours ahead of the global launch. 'Denim has always embodied the things we care most about as a brand—it's timeless, versatile, and effortless—so, creating denim felt like a natural extension of our DNA,' says Sarah Staudinger, founder and creative director at Staud. 'We approached it the same way we approach everything: with a sense of purpose and a little bit of our character.' Photo: Courtesy of Staud Inspired by a pair of Levi's jeans from the 1970s that were borrowed from her mother's closet nearly 20 years ago, Staudinger was mesmerized by the ability of denim to transcend decades, and how it can act as modern day heirlooms. Setting out to create pieces that do the same within her own line, Staud Jeans is a versatile mix of silhouettes and washes that are 'meant to last, carry meaning, and live many lives.' Priced between $245 and $345, you can find everything from a five-pocket straight-leg jean to a barrel curve, slouchy wide-leg, and a classic jacket.

Jessica Alba's new romance with Captain America actor Danny Ramirez
It seems Jessica Alba's birthday wish to 'feel loved' has come true. Jessica (44) has confirmed her romance with actor Danny Ramirez (32) with a steamy make-out session that was caught on camera. In photos obtained by Deux Moi, a celebrity Instagram account, the actress is seen kissing the Captain America: Brave New World and Top Gun: Maverick star outside his house in Beverly Hills. Their chemistry wasn't limited to a smooch, as other photos showed them smiling, hugging and chatting as Jessica hands him a bouquet of white orchids. Their budding connection first caught fans' attention when Danny was identified as the mystery man travelling with Jessica from Cancún, Mexico, in early July. Since then they've been spotted enjoying dinner dates in and around Los Angeles. PHOTO:While some fans are praising Jessica's blossoming romance, others reckon she's moving too fast since announcing her shock divorce from her husband of 16 years, Cash Warren, in January. Most agreed though, that they made a good-looking couple. 'Two hot people dating. Love it,' quipped one. The two were friends before things turned romantic a few months ago, says an insider. Jessica is keeping things casual. She and Danny run in the same social circle and that's how they connected Insider 'Danny is a cool, nice guy and he is enamoured with her, but it isn't exclusive,' the source told the Daily Mail. 'She's not in that frame of mind. Right now, she's looking to just have fun.' Another source adds that the mom-of-three has been casually dating since her split from Cash. 'She's been getting a lot of attention since the divorce, but she's focused on herself and her kids. She's not interested in a relationship right now,' the insider told People. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jessica Alba (@jessicaalba) She recently shared photos of a solo trip to a luxury lodge in the Riviera Maya in Mexico. 'A dreamy few days in one of my favourite place,' she captioned the snaps. Jessica cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce and listed their date of separation as 27 December 2024, according to court documents filed in February. She's sought joint custody of their three children, Honor (16), Haven (13) and Hayes (7), and asked that her legal name be restored to Jessica Marie Alba. Jessica addressed the news of her split from Cash in an Instagram post in January, writing, 'I've been on a journey of self-realisation and transformation for years, both as an individual and in partnership with Cash. 'I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.' Jessica and Cash have remained cordial as their split plays out. 'They are still intertwined with their business ventures and the kids,' a source says, adding that the pair 'talk often' and remain 'good friends'. 'Their communication hadn't been great,' a source told Us magazine. 'The marriage ran its course.' Show Comments ()
