Ozzy Osbourne fans point out blunder with mum's naming tribute
Many parents choose to honour their favourite celebrities, actors, musicians, book and television show characters by naming their baby after them but it doesn't always go down well A woman has sought advice on whether the name 'Ozzy' would be an acceptable name choice for a baby girl, with many drawing comparisons to the legendary heavy metal icon who sadly died on July 22. Choosing a name for a child is no easy task, with parents required to find something that'll suit their offspring from a sweet new-born baby all the way to their adulthood. Many people seek to honour their favourite television shows, books, musicians and more when naming their children, often taking inspiration from a variety of art and media sources. When it comes to Ozzy Osbourne though, all fans know 'Ozzy' wasn't his real name and is a nickname based on his surname, Osbourne. The singer and songwriter, born in Birmingham, was called John Michael Osbourne but has been known as Ozzy throughout his decades-long career as a pioneer of music. For many people, the name Ozzy will forever be associated with the Black Sabbath frontman. One woman took to Reddit to seek opinions on using the name for a little girl, with several keen to point out the link to the musician. She simply penned: 'Is Ozzy a tragedeigh for a girl? Not pregnant but just for opinions lol.' 'Tragedeigh' is a common term online used to refer to names that sound made up, or incorporate an abundance of unnecessary letters to try and make the name appear more unique than it actually is. The Reddit user continued: 'ETA [edited to add]: thanks all this was just a hypothetical question! Seen someone on Instagram that's little girl is named Ozzy and I know this group don't hold back their opinions and wanted to see. 'I thought it was cute but seems the majority do not think so'. In the comments section, people were keen to share their thoughts. One person said: 'When I think Ozzy I think Ozzy Osborne… you decide from there'. Someone else said: 'Ozzy Osbourne is called John Michael Osbourne, it's a [nickname] from his last name. I wouldn't go for Ozzy as only first name, especially not a girl.' A third Reddit user said: 'Yes! In so many ways with no offence to Ozzy Osbourne because I like him, but the name sounds ugly.' Another added: 'It made me think Ozzy Osbourne or Ozymandias, which technically could be interesting to specific crowds.' But someone else said: 'I think it is kind of cute? Is it short for anything? Most people will associate it with Ozzy that's something to consider.' Founded in Birmingham in 1968, the original Black Sabbath line-up consisted of guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward, bassist Geezer Butler and, of couse, vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. They're consistently hailed as the pioneers of heavy metal music, helping redefine the rock genre. Black Sabbath's eponymous debut album, released in 1970, actually received negative reviews from critics but was a commercial success, leading to the release of their second album that same year, Paranoid. Their follow up, Masters of Reality, released in 1971, solidified their standing as a force to be reckoned with. The three records, which spawned a medley of hits including The Wizard, Paranoid, Iron Man, War Pigs, Children of the Grave and more, played a significant role in defining the genre of metal. By the time they released Sabbath Bloody Sabbath in 1973, critics had started warming up to them.

Jay-Z teams up with Caesars and SL Green to bid for huge Times Square Casino project
MEGASTAR JAY-Z joined forces with some of the biggest names in the casino business, looking to pitch a Caesars Palace Times Square casino project in New York. The rapper - real name Shawn Carter - was among several attendees to sit in front of the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) and bid for one of three $500 million downstate licenses. 1 The Roc Nation co-founder was representing a partnership alongside Caesars Palace and SL Green Properties and pledged $250million in benefits to the community as part of their pitch to convert an existing office on Broadway. They face stiff competition though with EIGHT applications in total having been submitted to the New York State Gaming Commission. Jay-Z, who grew up in Brooklyn, says the location was "perfect" for the partnership group and says the introduction of a casino resort would only "fulfil and enhance" the area, which he likened to huge landmarks around the world. The 150,000-square-foot gambling hall would boast 1000 casino rooms, a Caesars Sportsbook, four restaurants associated with high-profile chefs and a spa. Concerns over the venue becoming the main attraction to Broadway have been rebuffed by the entrepreneur, who insists they would only act as an 'additive' to a tourist spot which entices over 50 million tourists per year. During the presentation, Jay-Z said: "It's our chance to change the narrative and create something all around the world. "If we treat Times Square with the love and the attention that it requires, it can fulfill its promise. 'This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I believe, to support something that's homegrown. 'As we hear a lot of talk about community, we are the community. We're from this community. 'We're not coming to compete with Broadway. We're coming to be additive. "Anything that we've done in the past, we've always included the community. We've never excluded the community.' The group's proposition also indicated a forecasted $7 billion in direct tax revenue and $26.7 billion in local economic activity in the first 10 years. Roc Nation also stated they'd supported more than five million people with social impacts worth more than $78 million. More than 3,000 construction jobs would be created as a result if they were awarded a license, and the 3,800 permanent jobs it would create would be 'mostly filled by New Yorkers'.

Sharon Osbourne ‘wants to bury Ozzy in the garden of their UK family home' where he died surrounded by family
PALS of Sharon Osbourne believe that she wants to bury her late husband Ozzy in the garden of their family home. The rock legend, 76, died "surrounded by love" at the multi-million-pound mansion in Welders, Buckinghamshire, on Tuesday. 8 8 8 Following a length battle with Parkinson's, the Black Sabbath star passed away with his wife of 43 years by his side. Now pals have told how Sharon might choose to bury her soul mate in the garden. A source told The Mirror: "In the end, he died peacefully at home with all the family with him. "It's a lovely house and Sharon wanted to bring him back from LA. "I don't know if she will feel strong enough to have a big memorial for all the people who want to say goodbye to him. "We think she may want to bury him privately at home, in the garden." A statement signed by his family said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time." Air Ambulance crews rushed to the property on Tuesday as they desperately battled to save the rockstar in his final moments. Thames Valley Air Ambulance said that a crew had been dispatched to provide "advanced critical care". Last night, Ozzy's daughter Kelly, 40, paid an emotional tribute to her father, who died just days after watching her get engaged. She shared the poignant lyrics to Black Sabbath's 'Changes' - a hit she and her dad released their own version of together in 2003. The track soared to number one in the UK charts at the time, with the duo known for their close bond over the years. In a poignant nod to the song last night, Kelly wrote on Instagram: "I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had." Just days earlier, Kelly got engaged to her boyfriend Sid Wilson, 48, at the veteran rocker's final concert earlier this month. She shared a video of the moment Sid popped the question backstage at her father's final ever Black Sabbath gig. Ozzy's death came just 17 days after a farewell performance at the Villa Park stadium in Birmingham. The concert raised £140million for charities including Birmingham's Acorns Children's Hospice, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Cure Parkinson's. Tributes have since piled in from stars including Sir Rod Stewart, Noel Gallagher and Sir Elton John. Yesterday friends said many big names wanted to salute the bat-munching, self-proclaimed Prince of Darkness, who became a national treasure. Such a service would be held ahead of a smaller private funeral. A source told The Sun: 'There are conversations about a celebration of his life in Birmingham, the city that meant so much to him. 'Artists like Yungblud, who was seen by Ozzy as a musician who could carry on the mantle of what he started all those years ago, is expected to have a role in it. 'There are hundreds of big names who will want to pay their respects and celebrate his life and legacy, as well as thousands of fans who would line the streets to say goodbye.' 8 8 8 Ozzy became known as the "Prince of Darkness" in his six-decade career thanks to his on-stage antics that attracted a legion of heavy rock fans. The legend cemented his place in rock history early in his career with controversial displays such as biting the head off a bat. The stunt came in 1982, during a performance in Des Moines, Iowa, when a fan threw the animal on stage. Ozzy, believing it to be made of rubber, bit into the carcass, and later had to be plied with rabies shots. He also snorted a line of ants while on tour with the notorious Mötley Crüe band in the '80s. Shortly prior to his passing, the Changes hitmaker told of his strict health monitoring and medical check-ins. More on Ozzy Osbourne... 'If it's end of the road, I can't complain' How hard-living rocker Ozzy Osbourne had no regrets amid health battles Ozzy Osbourne joined Black Sabbath on stage for poignant final show weeks before death aged 76 Emotional moment Ozzy celebrated with daughter Kelly after she got engaged at last concert days before death Ozzy Osbourne's final words to adoring fans just weeks before rock legend died The rocker's final photo as Black Sabbath star snapped beaming on stage in final gig Black Sabbath lead tributes to rock legend after his tragic death Osbourne family's full touching statement as they mourn rock icon Ozzy 'with more sadness than mere words can convey' From bat-biting antics & drug battles to rollercoaster reality show – how Ozzy truly earned title of Prince of Darkness Who is Kelly Osbourne's fiance and Slipknot member Sid Wilson? Who is Jack Osbourne's wife Aree Gearhart and do the couple have any children together? How Sharon's devotion to Ozzy never wavered through his drug hell On his Sirius XM show in May, Ozzy said: "I am constantly in training seven days a week. "I have got this guy who's virtually living with me and I am in bed by seven. "I used to have to take a handful of f***ing sleeping pills. "Now I don't take anything. I am having my blood pressure taken 15 times a day. "I've got this f***ing device on my finger. It's a monitor to say how my heart rate is.' He then said of his life approach: "I'm just taking it one day at a time. "Ask him upstairs. In my case, the one below." This month's gig was touted as "the greatest heavy metal show ever," with Ozzy grinning to chanting fans as he thanked them for all they had done for him. The icon vowed, however, that it would be his final performance due to his deteriorating health. Addressing dozens of fans on Black Sabbath Bridge on Broad Street in Birmingham, the band's first manager Jim Simpson said Ozzy was a "really nice kid". He added: "The fact is, there are people here who are 80 years of age or eight years of age and all stages in between and it shows he had a remarkable way of contacting people. "It has been 55 years and still (Black Sabbath) are more popular than ever. "It is remarkable and they have all done a great job and they should be proud of themselves." "He even said beforehand that he expected to die on the stage at the July the 5th show at Villa Park. "The world's lost an inordinately nice, balanced, human being." 8 8
