Ozzy Osbourne's hilarious occupation on death certificate revealed
The surprising occupation listed on Ozzy Osbourne's death certificate has been revealed alongside the late Black Sabbath legend's cause of death.
According to the official document first obtained by the New York Times on Tuesday, Osbourne passed away from cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease on July 22 at the age of 76.

That was not all, though, because it also revealed that the 'Crazy Train' singer's daughter, Aimee Osbourne, 41, listed her late father's profession as 'songwriter, performer and rock legend' when she submitted the document to a registry in London.
Although Osbourne's family previously confirmed the news of his passing in a statement to The Post, they did not disclose his cause of death.
'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,' they said at the time.

'He was with his family and surrounded by love,' they added. 'We ask everyone to respect our family's privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.'
The heavy metal pioneer was later laid to rest near the lake of his Buckinghamshire home on Thursday, July 31.
More than 100 guests reportedly gathered for the private ceremony – including Ozzy's family, friends, former Sabbath bandmates and other music industry A-listers like Marilyn Manson, Metallica's James Hetfield and Yungblud.

Elton John was rumored to be in attendance, and Zakk Wylde, Osbourne's longtime guitarist, was said to have led the solemn funeral procession.
'The day was incredibly emotional,' an insider told The Sun last week. 'Pictures of Ozzy were dotted throughout the house, and a photograph of him was given to everyone who attended to take home with them.'
'Ozzy wanted his final place of rest to be at home, and he is buried at a beautiful point on the lake,' they added.

One day before the private ceremony, a public funeral procession was organized through the streets of Osbourne's Birmingham, England, hometown.
The 'Paranoid' singer's widow, Sharon, 72, their kids, Aimee, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39, and Osbourne's son from a previous relationship, Louis, 50, joined thousands of fans to say farewell to the beloved music icon.
Each of Osbourne's loved ones wore a different item in his honor, and heartbreaking photos from the cortège showed Sharon hugging Kelly and holding Jack's hands as she broke down in tears in front of a memorial for her late husband.

Meanwhile, the 'Shot in the Dark' crooner detailed his idea for a funeral years before his death during an interview with The Times of London.
'I honestly don't care what they play at my funeral,' he said in 2011. 'But I do want to make sure it's a celebration, not a mope-fest.'
'I'd also like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of death,' Osbourne added. 'There'll be no harping on the bad times.'

‘Weapons' review: The best horror movie of the summer
movie review WEAPONS Running time: 128 minutes. Rated R (strong bloody violence and grisly images, language throughout, some sexual content and drug use). In theaters. During this lazy summer of comatose sequels, nothing has been scarier to Hollywood than an original idea. So how sweet it is that one of the freshest and best movies of sweaty season is a brand new, freakily creative story from the horror genre. No cardboard IP here. But plenty of RIP. The sharp and explosive 'Weapons,' from 'Barbarian' writer-director Zach Cregger, is powered by a quality the big screen has all but surrendered to more riveting TV dramas: Unpredictability. Right from the spooky intro, in which we learn that 17 fifth graders from the same suburban classroom all mysteriously ran away from their homes at 2:17 a.m. one night and went missing, the plot unfolds in ways startling and twisty, disturbing and deceptive. The experience is akin to being blindfolded and thrown into a trunk — except fun! The film's main question: Where did all the kids go? 3 Julia Garner and Josh Brolin star in 'Weapons. AP Could their disappearance be a coordinated kidnapping, an act of God or perhaps an alien abduction? That's an intense problem to solve. One lost child in a film means high stakes, a ticking clock and big adult feelings. Multiply that by 17. Something feels off about the community from the start. There are hints of the rapturey HBO drama 'The Leftovers,' as well as the recent warped 'Longlegs' with Nicolas Cage and the not-so-recent 'Blair Witch Project.' Cregger adds a bit of 'It' and 'Stranger Things,' too, in the way the movie probes the dark crevices of a seemingly nice, sleepy town as young people confront pure evil. But who's to blame for the crime? 3 Seventeen kids in a single classroom mysteriously go missing. AP The angry locals believe it's the teacher Justine (Julia Garner). They vandalize her car and stalk her. But the cops can't find any evidence to implicate the pithy, secretive woman. Just one little boy in the class didn't vanish — Alex (Cary Christopher, a 2025 Child of the Corn). He's gotta know something, right? Our final answer is peculiar and outlandish — frightening, oddly funny, eccentric, spine-tingling, grotesque and ultimately sad. To arrive there, Cregger has built a puzzle that's told in chapters, each devoted to a different character. One belongs to Josh Brolin as a dogged parent, and another goes to Austin Abrams' comedic Anthony, a burnout drug dealer who could be friends with someone named Silent Bob. Alden Ehrenreich, a great actor who hasn't been around much lately, plays a troubled cop. And Amy Madigan does a delicate dance as Aunt Gladys. 3 'Weapons' is told in chapters, each devoted to a different character. AP Garner, who exudes an energy that suggests she might pick a fight with somebody at the grocery store, fuels that sinister Main Street, USA, vibe with her enigmatic 'Ozark' persona. The vicious actress is herself a weapon. Most of the grown-ups here are deeply and engrossingly flawed: self-interested addicts, weirdos and brutes. In their own odd way, they each help the tale reach its satisfying conclusion, even if many of them don't make it to the credits. No real hero emerges until the last 10 minutes. This year, many movies have been boring, flabby, unnecessary, nostalgic, dumb, cheap or a burrito bowl of all of the above. But I was never less than superglued to 'Weapons.' Clever Cregger proves, as Ryan Coogler did with 'Sinners' back in the spring, that horror not only often has the most blood — it's got the most guts.

Charlamagne Tha God Blesses Donald Trump With Donkey of The Day Following Truth Social Rant
Source: Getty Images / Charlamagne Tha God / Donald Trump We all knew it was coming. Charlamagne Tha God clapped back at Donald Trump by giving him 'Donkey of the Day.' It didn't take long, but on Monday, Charlamagne Tha God kicked off The Breakfast Club's work week by responding to Felon 47. Before he went in on Trump, he started off the Donkey of the Day segment by blasting YG's Donald Trump protest record 'FDT' before accusing the current occupant of the White House of using him and other ridiculous things to distract from important issues after Trump called the radio host a 'racist sleazebag.' We care about your data. See our privacy policy. The Breakfast Club host pointed out in his retort that he didn't bring up race once while he was blasting Trump's 'big beautiful bill,' which the radio host, born Lenard McKelvey, admitted he would benefit from because of his tax bracket, but notes will harm millions of Americans. Charlamagne also slammed Trump and Homeland Security for terrorizing, detaining, and deporting lawfully residing immigrants while contributing, and also his unjust firing of Labor Statistics Chief Erika McEntarfer after she just did her job, reported on the terrible job numbers. While everyone was happy to hear Charlamagne call out Trump again, some folks didn't appreciate him still 'both-siding' the conversation by bringing up Joe Biden in his takedown of Orange Mussolini. 'Here's my issue he was playing contrarian and both sides so hard that the orange man used him in one of his ads. He directly has blood on his hands so Lenard put himself & worse others into the current state of affairs,' a post on X, formerly Twitter. Fair. You can see more reactions below.

'Outlander' spinoff stars reveal why sex scenes were 'daunting'
It's all in the family. The hit series 'Outlander' now has a spinoff, 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood,' premiering Friday, Aug 8 on Starz (8 p.m. ET). 'One of the main things ['Outlander' star Sam Heughan] said to me right at the start was just to enjoy every single moment as much as you can,' Jamie Roy, who stars in 'Outlander: Blood of my Blood,' told The Post. 11 Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall, right, and Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser in 'Outlander.' AP 11 Sam Heughan, Hermione Corfield, Jamie Roy, Harriet Slater at Los Angeles premiere of 'Outlander: Blood Of My Blood' on July 28, 2025. Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency/MEGA 'Outlander' premiered in 2014 (based on a bestselling book series), and will end with Season 8 at an unannounced date in 2026. The original show follows Claire (Caitriona Balfe), an English nurse from 1945 who time-travels back to 1743, where she falls in love with the Scottish highlander, Jamie Fraser (Heughan). 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' is a prequel about the dual love stories of Jamie's parents, Brian Fraser (Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater), and Claire's parents, Julia (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine). Heughan isn't in 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood,' since it shows Jamie's parents falling in love before he was born. Slater and Roy, however, have met the actor who plays their on-screen 'son' at various events promoting the show. 11 Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) with Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) in 'Blood of My Blood.' Starz Roy revealed that Heughan gave him the advice that 'There's going to be tough days. But ultimately, take a step back and look at what you're doing and how lucky we are to be able to do this sort of thing.' He shared, 'I've taken that [advice] with me.' The Scottish actor added that Heughan 'literally was texting me [at the premiere], checking in on me. Saying, 'How are you doing? Are you coping okay?'' 11 Jamie Roy with Harriet Slater in their video interview with the Post. The New York Post 11 Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) in 'Blood of My Blood.' Starz Roy said that Heughan's messages 'really means a lot more than I can say, to have that kind of support.' Slater told The Post that she didn't try to imitate Heughan's mannerisms while playing his on-screen mother, but she and Roy 'both watched 'Outlander' while shooting Season 1 of 'Blood in My Blood.'' The 'Pennyworth' actress added, 'I think I just absorbed the spirit of Jamie Fraser and also of [his daughter, Brianna] and also of [his sister, Jenny] as well. So, I didn't try to mimic anything or learn any mannerisms or anything like that. It was more of just a general absorbing of the characters, and the core of them.' 11 Sam Heughan in 'Outlander.' ©Starz! Movie Channel/Courtesy Everett Collection 11 Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy); Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) in 'Blood of My Blood.' Starz Roy joked that fans have complimented how his performance is similar to Heughan's, but he didn't do it on purpose. 'I wish I could take credit. I worked hard, but that wasn't the stuff that I was focusing on. So any little crossovers you see are totally coincidental, for the most part.' He said that any similarities between the on-screen father and son 'just speaks to casting's ability to find actors like myself and Harriett, who do embody some certain aspects of other actors.' 11 Jamie Roy and Harriet Slater attend the 'Outlander: Blood of my Blood' premiere on July 28, 2025. Getty Images for STARZ 11 Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) in 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood.' Starz 'Outlander' is known for its steamy scenes, and 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' also has plenty. 'I'd never done anything of this level before, and it was daunting,' said Slater. She added, 'But we have a brilliant team of support behind us. We work with an intimacy coordinator, who makes sure that we feel safe and confident before we step on set for any kind of those kinds of scenes.' Slater explained that there's always a closed set for sex scenes, 'which means there's as few people as possible, and we rehearse a lot beforehand. So that we know exactly what is going to be asked of us on the day, it's choreographed.' 11 Sam Heughan attends the 'Outlander: Blood of my Blood' premiere on July 28, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

He added, 'Because I'm like, 'Well, I gotta look good!' So, I don't drink as much booze as I would have, and I eat healthier. So it's a win, I guess.'
