Carrie Underwood Revealed Her Ozzy Osbourne Fandom With This Stunning Cover
Carrie Underwood was also a fan of Osbourne, and of heavy metal music in general. The powerhouse country vocalist has talked often about her love of hard rock, performed with Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose numerous times, and covered songs by fellow umlaut bands Mötley Crüe and Motörhead in concert. She's also been known to slay 'Mama, I'm Comin' Home,' Osbourne's 1991 power ballad. In 2023, Underwood appeared on The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM and delivered yet another version of the No More Tears standout. Backed by her full band, the Nashville star underscored the connection, both sonically and lyrically, between mainstream country and old-school metal.

It's a connection that continues to this day. Earlier this summer, Dolly Parton joined Mötley Crüe on a new version of their own power ballad 'Home Sweet Home,' which debuted at Number One on Mediabase's Classic Rock chart. (She also delivered a video message to Osbourne during the July 5th farewell concert by Black Sabbath.)
Elsewhere, outlaw country singer Alex Williams released Space Brain, a collection of hair metal songs reinvented as stone-cold country music. Among the tracks? Osbourne's 'Flying High Again,' rendered on Space Brain as a duet with Cody Jinks, another former metalhead.

Swansea City's Snoop Dogg and Luka Modric boost ahead of Middlesbrough opener
ALAN Sheehan has described the 'buzz' since Snoop Dogg became a Swansea co-owner and explained how the Championship club plan to build on the feel-good factor. The 53-year-old American rapper joined a growing list of celebrity investors in British football last month by becoming part of a Swansea ownership group that already included Croatia midfield great Luka Modric. Multi award-winning Snoop said Swansea's 'underdog' story 'really struck a chord with me' and his vast following on social media – 89 million on Instagram and 20.5 million on X – quickly learned about the Welsh club and his love for Joe's ice cream in the city. 'To have Snoop and Luka on board is a massive benefit,' Swansea boss Sheehan said ahead of Saturday's league opener at Middlesbrough. 'There is a buzz, obviously. As a football club you have to become more appealing commercially, to be more competitive, and appeal to the wider nation. 'It's different to how it was maybe when I was a player, but I understand why, and I totally welcome it. 'Rome wasn't built in a day, but there are big plans for the football club. 'It's about building strong foundations and building that character and resilience within the football club.' RECOMMENDED READING: Inside Middlesbrough recruitment: 'In-depth lists', clarity and plan explained Max Arfsten transfer stance & Middlesbrough's next move after opening offer rejected Rav van den Berg Middlesbrough transfer state of play after rejected bids Comparisons with Wrexham, who are owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are unavoidable and already being made. The two Welsh clubs are Championship rivals this season after Wrexham became the first team in the top five tiers of English football to win three successive promotions. A docu-series tracking life at Swansea, on similar lines to the award-winning FX show 'Welcome to Wrexham', is understood to be already in the pipeline. Asked if Swansea – who were relegated in 2018 after seven seasons in the Premier League – were the 'new' Wrexham, Sheehan said: 'No, we're Swansea. We're not new anything. 'Now they're in our division, I suppose, it becomes more there now (rivalry), but we don't play them until December. So I won't really be speaking about them until December.' Modric – who joined the board in April following a takeover led by American businessmen Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen six months earlier – was unveiled as an AC Milan player on Monday after his trophy-littered 13-year spell at Real Madrid ended this summer. The 39-year-old has played his part in Sheehan's summer recruitment strategy, actively persuading players to join the Welsh club. 'Obviously, his transfer situation… he was unavailable to come here,' smiled Sheehan. 'We've had a few text messages and he's involved. 'Luka has spoke to some players, passed on his knowledge, what he knows about the football club, and the plans that we have for it. 'Snoop and Luka are very invested in the club. They care, they speak through the ownership and the ownership are very good to us.' So will Grammy-nominated Snoop soon be swapping California for Swansea to watch a game? 'I believe so,' said Sheehan. 'But I'm not sure which game yet. It would be very naive and narrow-minded to think two very successful people in what they do could not help us. 'Successful people have a lot in common – a work ethic, a grit, a determination to get where they want to get to. So with Snoop, Luka and the ownership there is a lot of positivity around the football club.'

The Fortune Hotel's Fred and Min blindsided cast over £250k prize money
Father and son John and Atholl told Yahoo UK that Fred and Min surprised them as they secretly had the £250,000 prize money. The Fortune Hotel's John and Atholl say fellow contestants Fred and Min surprised the other players when it turned out they secretly had the £250,000 after appearing to struggle with the game. The retired couple, 60 and 59, from Blackpool, were the last in the race to The Fortune Hotel after they were stumped by the easy "reception desk" crossword. Naturally, they couldn't believe their luck when Jake and Mike handed them the £250,000 briefcase. Asked directly who they thought had the money, Fred and Min didn't try to throw suspicion off themselves. Instead, they said they hadn't a clue who had the money and were just grateful to be filming in the Caribbean. Retired police officer John, 58 – who starred on The Fortune Hotel alongside his waiter son Atholl, 30 – said Fred and Min's clueless appearance meant they went undetected by the other members of the cast. The father and son were the first pair to receive the early checkout card in the Lady Luck bar (but the second pair to leave the show). Initially, they felt it was Fred and Min's time to go, but admitted the couple had played a "blinder", surprising them after they had been playing the game so badly. Retired police officer John told Yahoo: "[I would be] gutted for anyone going out, but ultimately I thought Fred and Min [had] done so bad. They were terrible. If anyone deserves to go, it was Fred and Min, but they played a blinder. They played a blinder, not through anything skill-wise." The retired police officer said he was "surprised" they got away with it. "How did they play so bad and get the money?" He said. "I hope they win it, actually, they're quite funny." He went on: "We were trying to tell Nella and Tope if you pick us, we're going home. You've got the checkout card because Fred and Min gave it to you, swap it with Fred and Min and if they'd swapped it with Fred and Min, they would have had the money!" The Fortune Hotel filming in chaos Behind the scenes, the filming in the Lady Luck bar — where the case swaps happen — had to be stopped because of the weather in the Caribbean. When the cameras stopped rolling, Atholl confessed the nerves were getting to him. "The funny thing was that we literally went up to pick our case and a thunderstorm happened," Atholl said. "Filming was stopped for 15 minutes, and we had to wait to see whether we were going to get put out or not. I'm sat there going, I can't do this." His dad, John, added, "I mean, the rain didn't last long." However, Atholl confessed it impacted his nerves. "Long enough for me!" Overnight fame on The Fortune Hotel Before The Fortune Hotel had a chance to air on ITV, Atholl admitted he was being recognised already and people can't resist asking did they won the £250,000 fortune. "I already have been [stopped]," he said. "I've been stopped a couple of times, like in Asda or the chippy." "We went for a chippy fish and chips last night [Sunday], and the woman was like, 'Did you win the money?' "You see it in two ways... It's really exciting that people are excited to see it. My mantra is just I can't say anything." John said: "You've got to watch the show to find out." Atholl added: "Because they're even saying like, 'Well, how long were you out there?' And I say, 'I can't tell because I'll give away how long we last' and they're like, 'Ooooh', and then they go away. And then the flip side of it is, for instance, some of my friends didn't even realise that I had even left the country. So when this all came out, they were like, 'When on earth did you leave the UK?'" John said: "And the woman in the fish and chip shop said, 'Oh, I've got a friend that stays near you, and I asked him to go around and see if you got any upgrades done in your house, and then we would know you won it.' I was like, really?" Atholl said: "And then you kind of see it from the flip side that [John has] got a lot of friends, I've got a lot of friends that are like excited for it and they're really excited to see it and you just in the back of your head saying, 'Oooh, how disappointing that we got put out second.'" The Fortune Hotel airs on ITV1 at 9pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Duolingo wants to make its music lessons more addictive
DESIGN 'Our vision is to make music learning feel just as engaging and habit-forming as language learning does on Duolingo.' [Images: Duolingo, Nataliia Hruts/iStock/Getty Images Plus] BY Listen to this Article More info 0:00 / 2:58 Duolingo may be known as the world's largest language learning app, but it also wants to get users hooked on learning music. On August 6, Duolingo announced its plan to acquire the team behind the London-based gaming startup NextBeat. The startup's mobile gaming catalog, which includes Piano Tile-style games like Beatstar and Country Star, has amassed around $200 million in revenue. Now, NextBeat's staff will help Duolingo make its Music course more fun, effective, and, ultimately, something you don't want to put down. '[ Beatstar and Country Star ] combined chart-topping licensed music with intuitive, satisfying gameplay and reached tens of millions of players worldwide,' a Duolingo spokesperson said of the acquisition. 'The team's background spans game design, music licensing, live operations, and mobile monetization, all of which will strengthen Duolingo Music and beyond.' For Duolingo, the deal is part of a larger plan to build out its non-language courses using its uniquely gamified learning model—ultimately moving toward becoming an all-encompassing education app. What's next for Duolingo Music The NextBeat acquisition announcement came on the same day as Duolingo's second quarter 2025 earnings report, which notched a 41% increase in revenue year-over-year and an 84% increase in net income. The report marked an overwhelmingly positive quarter for Duolingo, in spite of the backlash the company received earlier this year when CEO Luis Von Ahn announced that the company would be going 'AI-first.' On an earnings call with investors, von Ahn shared that the company would be raising its full-year guidance 'while still investing in both our core business and exciting new areas like chess, math, and music that we believe will drive long-term growth.' Duolingo first added math courses to its repertoire in 2022, followed by music in 2023 and chess earlier this year. While the company declined to share specific numbers on the Music course's performance, a spokesperson did say that 'millions of learners' are studying music on Duolingo, and the company views it as a 'key pillar of our evolution into a broader learning platform.' Currently, Duolingo's sole Music offering is a piano course. Through the NextBeat acquisition, though, the company plans to experiment with new modules like guitar, voice, or rhythm-based activities, chief business officer Bob Meese told Bloomberg. Further, a spokesperson shared with Fast Company, NextBeat will help to smooth out the in-lesson user experience by improving course pacing, personalization, and feedback mechanics. 'We're focused on making the Music course even more joyful and captivating,' the spokesperson said. 'Our vision is to make music learning feel just as engaging and habit-forming as language learning does on Duolingo.'
