Ozzy Osbourne, the “Prince of Darkness” and iconic Black Sabbath frontman, tragically passed away on July 22, 2025, at age 76. Having had a string of health issues, including his 2020 Parkinson’s diagnosis, the metal legend continued performing until just weeks before his death.

Famous for his wild antics on the stage, no cause of death has been revealed by his family yet, as CNN reports. While tributes from across the world pour in, his legacy extends well beyond the confines of heavy metal and Black Sabbath. In a cameo that not everyone remembers, Osbourne once appeared in an episode of South Park.

In South Park’s Season 2 Episode 14, titled Chef Aid, Ozzy Osbourne made an iconic cameo. Playing himself in a riotously over-the-top benefit concert scene.

Amid a star-studded line-up, which included guest appearances of Elton John,...

Ozzy Osbourne’s death at the age of 76 has been met with an outpouring of tributes from across the world of entertainment.

“Long live the Oz!” Questlove posted, while Gene Simmons called Osbourne “a giant,” and Flavor Flav said that he was “real heartbroken.” According to fellow heavy icons Pantera, “We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you.”

Sir Elton John called Osbourne “a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods — a true legend. He was also one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. I will miss him dearly.”

Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant wrote, “Farewell Ozzy … what a journey … sail on up there .. finally at peace .. you truly changed the planet of rock!”

Ozzy’s bandmates in Black Sabbath have also honored their fallen bandmate. “Ozzy Forever!” posted the band’s official social media accounts.

Flavor Flav is using his platform to speak out against guns and to fight for reform.

The hip-hop legend and Public Enemy founder just dropped his new single “March Madness” with Chuck D.

“To us, March Madness is not about the left or the right or politics—it’s about the need to unify, as human beings, to say what is right and what is wrong. Stop putting a price tag on the heads of our children,” Flav wrote in his Newsweek op-ed.

He added, “We are marching ourselves into madness, both in the crazy and angry senses of the word. We are caught in an epidemic of gun violence with no sign we can stop or change course.”

Flav noted how he “went to jail because of guns,” so he is “speaking from first-hand experience.”

“Fear and power are two of the biggest emotions that drive us. America is being built on fear.

Flavor Flav has penned an op-ed urging lawmakers to pass a total ban on firearms: “No civilian needs to possess semi-automatic weapons.”

On the heels of Public Enemy’s latest single “March Madness” — “a powerful rebuke against crooked politicians and the ongoing crisis of gun violence,” the group said in a statement — the Rock Hall-inducted hype man wrote in his emotional Newsweek op-ed, “We are marching ourselves into madness, both in the crazy and angry senses of the word. We are caught in an epidemic of gun violence with no...

Even after forty years, Public Enemy have not given up on fighting the power. Case in point: their new song “March Madness” protests against gun violence and “crooked politicians who ain’t playing fair.” Stream it below.

Dropping yesterday in honor of Juneteenth, the track opens with what sounds like a 911 dispatch call being played on the news. Flavor Flav then sets the tone with a militaristic chant of “Right, Left, Left, Right, Left!” before calling out politicians who “don’t care” and thus won’t be “getting my vote.”

Chuck D’s verse directly criticizes the performative safety measures implemented in response to school shootings. “Grades 1 to 12, even kindergarten, needs security,” he spits. “Parents dropping off their children in fear/ Lawmakers acting scared off the NRA refusing to change year after year.”

In the grand culmination of lucky Season 13, the final four battle it out for the Golden Mask trophy on The Masked Singer! Boogie Woogie, Coral, Mad Scientist Monster, and Pearl take the stage for the last time as panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora make their final guesses for a chance to win their own Golden Ear trophy.

Four mystery celebs will be unmasked, but only one can walk away a winner as Nick Cannon hosts "The Two-Hour Lucky Season 13 Finale" episode of The Masked Singer airing Wednesday, May 7 (8 p.m. Et/Pt) on Fox.

So far this season, 11 famous faces have been unmasked: Cedric the Entertainer as Honey Pot, Oscar De La Hoya as Fuzzy Peas, Aubrey O'Day as Ant, Scheana Shay as Bat, Flavor Flav as Space Ranger, James Van Der Beek as Griffin, Candace Cameron Bure as Cherry Blossom, Method Man as Stud Muffin,...

After “The Masked Singer” wraps up its “Lucky Season 13” on Wednesday night, Fox is giving the show a bit of a breather. The network is set to unveil a fall schedule on Monday that won’t include the hit singing competition for the first time in several years — saving Season 14 until January 2026.

The news will also be revealed on Wednesday night’s finale. Per a network statement, “Among Fox’s most enduring signature shows is The Masked Singer with a truly devoted fanbase. This juggernaut will return next year for Season 14 as it takes midseason by storm with a spectacular, super-charged new season.”

The network added that the decision to hold off on the new season until January “is a strategic move to give ample runway for America’s favorite guessing game. and allow us to creatively look at enhancing the show with the biggest names at the center of it.

Exclusive: The Masked Singer has been renewed after producing an incredible 13 seasons and more than 170 episodes since it launched on Fox in January 2019.

This included a number of seasons produced under strict Covid protocols with the music competition guessing game, which has aired one season at the start of the year and one in the fall, never missing a run throughout the pandemic.

However, Deadline understands that this is about to change with the show eschewing its traditional fall 2025 season and planning to return for Season 14 in January.

The news comes as the Season 13 finale is set to air tonight. This season has featured the likes of Cedric the Entertainer, Oscar De La Hoya, Aubrey O’Day, Scheana Shay, Flavor Flav, James Van Der Beek, Candace Cameron Bure, Method Man, Erika Jayne, Matthew Lawrence and Edwin McCain. Four celebrities have yet to be unmasked – those performing as Boogie Woogie, Coral, Mad Scientist Monster and Pearl.

On its massive-eyed face, “The Masked Singer” may seem like just a goofy reality competition series, meant for little more than an hour of escapism. And really, it is that. Fox’s singing contest is predicated on sticking various calibers of famous people in insane, occasionally nightmare-fueling costumes, having them perform for a live audience, and letting the audience guess who the voice belongs to.

It’s simple and merry, if occasionally a little obvious (just about everyone clocked Vanessa Hudgens and Amber Riley immediately). But, as it wraps up its 13th season this week, “The Masked Singer” has also become something else entirely, according to those who have competed on it — a surprisingly therapeutic experience.

The show originated in South Korea in 2015, titled “King of Mask Singer.” In 2017, executive producer Craig Plestis, a veteran in reality TV and now the President and CEO of Smart Dog Media, watched an...

The Masked Singer Season 13 finale airs Wednesday night, and Ken Jeong definitely knows who Boogie Woogie is. The ever-confident clue master is convinced that the orange disco monster is none other than four-time Grammy winner Ed Sheeran.

In an exclusive preview clip below, Ken lays out his theory about who is hiding behind the Boogie Woogie mask.

"I was thinking at the very beginning it could be somebody like Andy Samberg," says Ken's co-panelist Robin Thicke. "But, every vocal he put down and every performance you started to realize he's a professional performer. That's why I got into names like Ryan Tedder who, vocally, does match."

"There was a Statue of Liberty clue and that made me think Broadway," adds Rita Ora. "That brought me to Darren Criss and Glee."

Ken then puts everyone in their place and asserts, "I follow the person on social media. I'm thinking it could...

Green Day is being honored!

If you didn’t know, Ryan featured Green Day’s 1997 hit “Good Riddance” in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 13, Episode 12 of “The Masked Singer,” “Semi-Finals Night,” which aired April 30 on Fox.

The case of Detective Lucky Duck was finally quacked on Wednesday’s episode of Fox’s “The Masked Singer.” Taika Waititi was the latest celebrity to be revealed on Season 13 of Fox’s “The Masked Singer,” playing the mysterious character that had popped up all season long on the show to share clues about the competition’s costumed contestants.

Lucky Duck appeared at the end of this week’s semi-finals episode, and instead of letting the show’s panelists guess his identity, he unmasked himself. And it was a familiar face for one of the show’s panelists: Waititi is husband to the show’s Rita Ora.

“Semi-Finals Night” brought together the final five contestants standing: Group A’s Coral, Group B’s Pearl and Boogie Woogie and Group C’s Mad Scientist Monster.

Flavor Flav is known for always wearing a clock around his neck and now he’s letting some lucky fans own one too!

The hip-hop legend has teamed up with chicken tender restaurant Raising Cane’s to offer up custom clock necklaces as part of the new Flavor Fest campaign.

Flav showed up at the Raising Cane’s flagship in Las Vegas on Wednesday (April 23) to announce the campaign, with net proceeds from clock sales benefiting the Women’s Sports Foundation. As you probably know already, Flav has been passionate about supporting women in sports and he even sponsored the U.S. Women’s Water Polo Team at the Olympics (and will again in 2028!).

The limited edition Flavor Flav x Raising Cane’s clock is now available on RaisingCanesGear.com for $5,000 each. The clocks are signed by Flavor Flav and designed by Rock N Stonez, the same jeweler behind all of Flav’s personal clocks.

Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 13, Episode 11 of “The Masked Singer,” “Soundtrack of My Life Night,” which aired April 23 on Fox.

Well, I’ll be. Edwin McCain, the singer/songwriter behind the 1990s hit song “I’ll Be,” was the latest celebrity to be revealed on Season 13 of Fox’s “The Masked Singer.” On the show’s Wednesday episode, McCain was unmasked as Nessy after performing “Million Reasons,” by Lady Gaga.

“Honestly, I’ve done so many different things in my career, like we’ve landed on an aircraft carrier off the coast of Korea and played for the sailors on board,” he told Variety of why he did the show. “We’ve been to Djibouti, Africa and Bahrain, and we’ve played every state in the US, except for Alaska. If life be an adventure, this certainly falls in that category. I was like, of course, I’ll do that.

The Masked Singer's resident lab expert, Rita Ora, believes she has cracked the formula for unmasking the Mad Scientist Monster's identity. After analyzing the clue package on "The Soundtrack of My Life" episode of the Fox reality singing competition, Rita confidently names Grammy-nominated superstar Jelly Roll as the voice behind the purple crooner. Her guess came as the top five contestants hit the stage for the quarterfinals on Wednesday.

In an exclusive preview clip below, Rita lays out her theory about who is hiding behind the Mad Scientist Monster mask.

Let’s dive into the numbers that prove WWE’s flagship event has not lost its potential.

The great thing about The Masked Singer is that you never know who will be on the show, and Season 13 included a '90s heartthrob. Earlier this week, the identity of Paparazzo was revealed after the judges asked a key question: had he been on a hit TV show before?

Out of the four judges, only Jenny McCarthy correctly identified Paparazzo as Matthew Lawrence. However, he had given some great clues on the night about his identity, including honoring his longtime girlfriend, TLC's Rozonda Thomas, better known as Chilli, with the song "Unpretty."

Matthew Lawrence has had an impressive acting career, including appearances in Boy Meets World and Mrs. Doubtfire; however, many people may not be aware that he is also a talented singer. "If you had told me that this little...

Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 13, Episode 10 of “The Masked Singer,” “Lucky 6,” which aired April 16 on Fox.

Freeze frame: “Boy Meets World” and “Brotherly Love” star Matthew Lawrence was the latest celebrity to be revealed on Season 13 of Fox’s “The Masked Singer.” On the show’s Wednesday episode, Lawrence was unmasked as Paparazzo after performing “Unpretty,” by TLC.

“Man, if you had told me that this little guy would still be standing here, I’d say you’re crazy. Because I’ve never sang before,” Lawrence said as Paparazzo in his pre-tape package. “And — big spoiler alert — the next song is the biggest hint to my identity yet. So listen closely.”

That’s referring to Lawrence’s relationship with TLC member Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.

For Paparazzo, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg got it right with Matthew Lawrence. Robin Thicke guessed Frankie Muniz. Rita Ora named Jason Ritter. Ken Jeong went with Ben Savage.

The merge is here! The Masked Singer Season 13's Lucky Six has arrived, and the talent is unstoppable. The two finalists from each group are coming together in the last stretch in hopes of hoisting the Golden Mask on finale night. Will it be Coral or Paparrazo from Group A? Could it be Boogie Woogie or Pearl from Group B? Or is it going to be Mad Scientist or Nessy from Group C? But most importantly, who is that?! As we continue to sleuth our way through the clues, there's one panelist who is 100% convinced they know the identity of Coral. Is Ken Jeong right, or is it just another wild guess?

In this Collider-exclusive sneak peek from tonight's "Merging of the Masks," Ken Jeong reveals his latest outlandish guess as to the superstar behind Coral. If you look at host Nick Cannon's face, the eye roll says it all.

Coachella is known for hosting some of the biggest headliners for music festivals, but they also find room for more unique acts. This year, Yo Gabba Gabba!, the band from the titular children’s show, performed at the Mojave Tent, and brought on a slew of guests, including “Weird Al” Yankovic for his debut performance at the Indio festival.

“Weird Al” joined Ygg! for their final song, a cover of The Muppets’ “Rainbow Connection” which received a roar of applause at its end from the crowd. “Weird Al” wasn’t the only guest for the cover though: Portugal the Man., Thundercat, and Paul Williams, who co-wrote the 1978 song made an appearance, too.

Flavor Flav brought the hype to the desert this weekend!

The hip-hop icon made not one, but two surprise appearances during Day 2 of 2025 Coachella on Saturday (April 12) — and the crowd couldn’t get enough.

The 65-year-old Public Enemy hype man first popped up during Blu DeTiger’s high-energy performance at the Do Lab stage, where he hyped up the crowd with his signature charisma and oversized clock chain.

“The Masked Singer” is a very different kind of reality show from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” But for Erika Jayne — unmasked as Yorkie on Wednesday night’s edition of Fox’s reality singing competition — it took “zero convincing” to join.

“Why wouldn’t I?” she told Variety. “Did you see my costume? It was absolutely adorable. ‘The Masked Singer’ is a top-notch production. It was probably one of the best times I’ve ever had performing and doing a show like this. Why not take this great opportunity?”

For Yorkie, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg got it right with Erika Jayne. Robin Thicke guessed Lori Loughlin. Rita Ora named Paris Hilton. Ken Jeong went with Kyle Richards.

Gold Derby is celebrating its 25th anniversary with our series of "25 in '25" highlighting the best, worst, and weirdest of the 2000s.

At the turn of the century, a new genre of television made its way to the mainstream that was less polished and more accessible than its traditional drama and comedy counterparts. Dubbed "reality TV" because of its focus on everyday people instead of actors, this low-budget, documentary-style format pioneered by shows like The Real World became instantly lucrative for networks. Competition programs like Survivor, American Idol, and The Amazing Race soon dominated the broadcast channels, while unstructured fare like Jersey Shore, The Real Housewives, and The Osbournes took over cable.

Below, relive the 25 best moments in reality TV history from the past 25 years. Our only rule? We're spreading the wealth so that no show gets more than one slot.

The Masked SingerSeason 13 has made many fans feel lucky that their guesses have been spot on. The panel, however, hasn't been feeling as lucky. So far this season, The Masked Singer has introduced the world to 10 incredible masked characters, revealing six so far. Now, Group C has arrived, and the panel believes that perhaps another reality star is hiding underneath Yorkie.

For the Group C premiere, five new characters are introduced: Cherry Blossom, Mad Scientist, Nessy, Stud Muffin, and Yorkie. With only two able to join Boogie Woogie, Coral, Paparazzo, and Pearl in the Lucky 6, the battle to keep the mask on is back! Could Yorkie keep us guessing for weeks to come?

Is Yorkie from the 90210?

Why Did Sylvester Stallone’s Edgar Allan Poe Biopic With Robert Downey Jr. Never Work Out? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Sylvester Stallone once had a dream project: an Edgar Allan Poe biopic. And guess who he wanted as his leading man? Robert Downey Jr. But there was one tiny problem—Stallone wanted to wait until the Iron Man star was “hot again” before making it happen.

Stallone has always been more than just a muscle-bound action star. The Rocky legend has a passion for writing. Over the years, he’s penned several scripts. One of his most ambitious ideas was a film about Edgar Allan Poe. He wasn’t prying in making a dark and depressing movie, though. Instead, he wanted to capture the genius and spirit of Poe rather than dwell on the tragic realities of his life.

In an old interview with Roger Ebert, Sylvester Stallone spilled the beans about his plans.

Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 13, Episode 6 of “The Masked Singer,” “Grand Ole Opry Night,” which aired March 19 on Fox.

I don’t want to wait, for this episode to be over. I want to know right now who will it be… and indeed, it was “Dawson’s Creek” star James Van Der Beek. The Beek was the latest celebrity to be unmasked Wednesday on Fox’s hit music competition series, having performed as Griffin.

Van Der Beek was eliminated after singing John Denver’s “Take Me Home (Country Roads).” During the episode, he alluded to his recent colorectal cancer diagnosis: “Recently, we got some news that changed everything. It’s been a really tough year. But fortunately, we’ve been able to face this challenge together, in our home. I would not have gotten through all of this without them. They make me smile through the tough days and are...

The music star and reality TV trailblazer tells us he enjoyed his time on the show, but admits he's a bit salty over those "simple clues." Watch the video interview above.

"I've got one of the most distinctive voices on the planet," Flav says. "It's not hard to take my voice and link it to those easy-ass clues that they had up there. The clues were so simple! They did me a little dirty. They could have given me harder clues ... a caveman could have figured it out."

During this Ghostbusters-themed episode, the masked contestants performed songs from the film series. Public Enemy’s founding hype man took on The BusBoys’ “Cleaning Up the Town.” After his performance, most of the judging panel—Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, and Rita Ora—correctly guessed Flavor Flav was behind the alien mask, while Ken Jeong, the lone outlier, guessed DJ Jazzy Jeff.

His reveal was met with a roar of applause with host Nick Cannon barely containing his excitement. “[This is] literally my favorite person ever… the one and only legend, Flavor Flaavvvv!” Cannon roared in the rapper’s signature inflection.

On "Ghostbusters Night," panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora transformed into ghost busting detectives along with an iconic visit from an original Ghostbuster, Ernie Hudson.

During the summer of 1984 this comedy classic became the number one movie of the year and since then, its legacy has lived on and permeated pop culture with countless cartoons, films, and merchandise. Group B brought the house down with amazing performances before one iconic celebrity revealed themselves in the all-new "Ghostbusters Night" episode of The Masked Singer that aired Wednesday, March 12 (8 p.m. Et/Pt) on Fox.

It’s Wednesday night, and you know what that means. Another celebrity had to go home on The Masked Singer season 13, episode 5.

Caution: This post contains Spoilers for The Masked Singer season 13, episode 5.

It was Ghostbusters Night on the series, and that meant a few Ghostbusters and scary clues. Mckenna Grace and Ernie Hudson both made some guest appearances — one of them in person — to deliver some clues for the remaining four Group B singers.

There were a few clues that helped to cement a couple of ideas. I’m sticking with my theory that James Van Der Beek is Griffin, based on Mckenna Grace saying she co-starred with the person under the mask and that he was a great dad on the set. Grace played Van Der Beek’s daughter in CSI: Cyber.

I also fully agree with Rita and Jenny that it’s Flavor Flav under the Space Ranger mask.

Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 13, Episode 5 of “The Masked Singer,” “Ghostbusters Night,” which aired March 12 on Fox.

If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call?

So get up and get get get down. Flavor Flav was eliminated for singing The Bus Boy’s “Cleaning Up the Town.” Flav told Variety that participating in “The Masked Singer” was a bucket list item for him, even if he was gone too soon.

“I love surprising people and fooling people,” he said. “I love being like that, the center of attention. When I saw my episode last night,...
