Music icon Ozzy Osbourne passed away at the age of 76 in late July, and much of the public continues to mourn him. Tributes have poured in for the late Black Sabbath member, and a massive funeral procession was held in England days ago ahead of a private funeral. In varying ways, members of the late rocker’s family have been expressing their love for their patriarch. That includes Ozzy’s daughter, Kelly, whom he shares with Sharon. Kelly recently took to social media to honor her dad in an unconventional, but fitting, way.
Over the years, Kelly Osbourne seemed to have a very close relationship with her father. That father-daughter bond seemed to truly remain intact as Ozzy suffered health issues during the final years of his life. Kelly took to her Instagram story to pay tribute to her dad by sharing a floral arrangement dedicated to the late Grammy winner. The flowers spelled out Ozzy’s name, but there was also a keenly placed expletive in the mix. Check out the post from the Beat Shazam fill-in for yourself:

It goes without saying that Ozzy Osbourne was known for being eccentric and unapologetically himself, whether he was on stage or off it. With that, he definitely had no problem dropping an f-bomb or two in his time. (And Kelly doesn’t mince words, either.) So, while the floral display may seem a bit unorthodox on the surface, it actually tracks with what fans know about the “Shot in the Dark” performer. All in all, a part of me would like to think that Ozzy would get a kick out of this particular tribute.
Elton John penned a lovely message to his “dear friend” upon hearing the news for himself. A sweet post also came from Nirvana, and Metallica also shared a great throwback photo. Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong penned a message as well.
Ahead of his passing Ozzy Osbourne had suffered from Parkinson’s Disease for years and, back in 2020, it was confirmed that he’d lost the ability to walk because of the disease. It was during that same year that he was also revealed to have developed emphysema. Nevertheless, Osbourne continued to make public appearances, and his death came just 17 days after his final concert, Back to the Beginning, during which he reunited with his Black Sabbath mates. Bassist Terence “Geezer” Butler recalled working with his old friend while prepping for that event, saying that it was difficult for Osbourne to prepare given he “wasn’t in good health.”
Following the death of “The Prince of Darkness,” his impact on not just music but pop culture as a whole has truly come into focus. Even though he was well known for his songs and theatrics during concerts, he was also something of a trailblazer for the modern era of reality TV. The Osbournes, his family’s flagship show, became a bonafide hit during the early aughts and chronicled the familial dynamics that existed amongst Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and the couple’s son, Jack. Ozzy also made other TV and film appearances amid his career.
I think it’s fair to say that there won’t be another musical personality quite like Ozzy Osbourne. While he certainly leaves a serious void in death, his legacy will surely live on through not only his work but through the people who knew him best. Kelly Osbourne as well as whoever arranged that f-bomb-laced floral display are counted in that group as well.
When I look back on the 2025 TV schedule, I think I’ll always remember the day I found out The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was canceled. It was truly shocking news, and in the weeks since, many, including his fellow late-night hosts, have shared how upset they are about this choice. Now, as the biggest award show in television creeps up, Colbert’s competitor in both late-night programming and this year’s Emmys, Jimmy Kimmel, is using his platform to support The Late Show instead of his own program.
When the 2025 Emmy nominations came out, it was revealed that Kimmel and Colbert’s shows were both recognized alongside The Daily Show. Now, right after The Late Show’s cancellation, Kimmel called out the choice, and Jon Stewart went on a rant about late-night in the wake of Colbert’s cancellation. So, they’ve been advocates and supporters of their fellow host; however, now Jimmy Kimmel has taken it one step further, and it involves a billboard that says (via Variety):
I’m voting for Stephen.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! he’s supporting Stephen Colbert instead.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and it once again likely shows Kimmel’s feelings about CBS’s choice to cancel the long-standing program.
In the weeks since Colbert announced that his show would end in May of 2026, the choice to cancel has been a very controversial and highly discussed one. CBS cited that they did it for financial reasons. However, there’s been a lot of commentary and criticism about how politics could have played into the choice as well – nothing has been confirmed on that front.
Many have spoken out about the decision to cancel The Late Show, and shared their two cents on what Colbert’s career could look like next. This has included the major late-night hosts working right now: Kimmel, Stewart, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers. Other big names in the talk show and comedy space have also shared their thoughts, including Andy Cohen, who thinks “CBS is just cooked,” and Bob Odenkirk thinks Colbert will find a new successful gig easily after his show ends.
Now, as more statements and speculation come out about what this cancellation means, it will be interesting to see how Colbert’s show performs at the Emmys. Since 2015, when he took over hosting the show, it’s received 33 nominations, and it’s never won. That makes it the second most-nominated show to never win (Better Call Saul is the first).

Over the last decade, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (which no longer competes in this category) and The Daily Show have been the only two talk shows to take home the award for Outstanding Talk Series. However, with Kimmel literally telling people to vote for Colbert, it will be interesting to see if Jon Stewart says anything about it, and if The Late Show can finally take home its first trophy.
To see if that happens, you can tune into the 77th Emmy Awards, which will be hosted by Nate Bargatze, on Sunday, September 14 at 8 p.m. ET. It will air on CBS, and you can stream it live with a Paramount+ subscription if you have the Showtime add-on. Meanwhile, episodes of both The Late Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live! will continue airing on weekdays at 11:30 p.m. ET on CBS and ABC, respectively.
The Sex and the City revival, And Just Like That…, is officially ending after its third season, which is currently streamable with an HBO Max subscription. So fans will soon have to say goodbye to Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, and Charlotte York once again. While there’s a two-part finale has been planned for the show, it’s still heartbreaking. As fans cope with the news, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis penned sweet messages, and they make the cancellation news feel all the more real.
SJP is quite close to(and envious of) Carrie Bradshaw, the character she’s been synonymous with for nearly three decades now. With that, Parker shared a lengthy message on Instagram alongside a compilation video of her time working on Sex and the City days as well as And Just Like That… The actress counted off the elements that were vital to Carrie’s characterization and also said that Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte are the best friends for Carrie to have. Parker then reflected on the experience that has made quite an impact on her life, and I’m trying not to tear up:
Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt. To you all. MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete. AJLT was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us.
Instagram as she reflected on her time portraying the fan-favorite Miranda. The pictures she included are both actual stills from SATC and AJLT as well as behind-the-scenes photos from both productions. Like others, Nixon is also seemingly having a hard time coming to terms with the end of the franchise. While her message isn’t nearly as long as her co-star’s, it’s no less emotional:
message is also brief, and she didn’t share any photos from her time playing the role of Charlotte. She did, however, repost the statement from showrunner, writer and director Michael Patrick King, who initially revealed that And Just Like That… would end. Davis explained how much the show means to her and also shouted out the cast, crew and many “loyal” fans:
I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love. And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever. ❤️
And Just Like That… premiered in 2021, over 17 years after Sex and the City ended. I can say that as a fan, it’s been wonderful to revisit these characters over the past few years. For that reason, it’s certainly hard to say goodbye once again. There is a clear silver lining here, though, and it’s that the cast and crew have the opportunity to end the show on their own terms. That’s much better than a straight-up cancellation, even if it means the show’s run will end after only three seasons. Still, fans were able to see some of their favorite SATCcharacters return, even if for only a brief time.
Additional information on the upcoming two-part finale has not been revealed, but I’ll surely be tuning in when it finally airs amid the 2025 TV schedule. In the meantime, fans can watch Season 3 of AJLTin full on HBO Max, along with the first two seasons as a way of preparing for the final installments.
Lindsay Lohan has been acting since her commercial and soap opera beginnings in the early ’90s, and, of course, she broke big at the age of 12 when The Parent Trap came out in 1998. That means she has a whole fashion history filled with red carpet premieres, and each look represents a new phase in her career. So, while promoting the Freaky Friday sequel Freakier Friday, Jimmy Fallon busted out a picture of Lohan from the 2003 movie’s premiere, and she was actually her own worst critic.
Being in the movie industry since childhood, Lindsay Lohan’s fashion journey has evolved dramatically from playful red carpet looks to a more adult, sophisticated style. When she appeared on The Tonight Show to promote her 2025 movie release, Freakier Friday, Jimmy Fallon busted out a photo of Lohan from when she attended the OG Freaky Friday premiere. Surprisingly, she was quite critical of herself, saying:
Way too much black eyeliner…

Aww, I love seeing Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan hand-in-hand, head-to-head in the OG photo like a mother/daughter pairing would be. Their effortless chemistry made Freaky Friday as memorable as it was, and that’s thanks to their heartwarming moments and remarkable comedic timing that came when they switched bodies.
Getting to see Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan back in action for the sequel is what I look forward to seeing in the new movie the most. The former child star told Jimmy Fallon that the idea of Freakier Friday began when Curtis was asked about it while promoting Halloween (2018), and that sparked questions for Lohan, too. Given the mother-daughter chemistry the pair had in the 2003 Disney flick, it’s no wonder fans were rooting for this movie to happen.
Now, the movie is almost here, and Lindsay Lohan is back on her red carpet A-game.

While she didn’t wear any thick black eyeliner for the Freakier Friday premieres, she still threw back to her nostalgic signature looks. At the UK premiere, she went full method-dresser, wearing a lavender dress that looked just like the one Anna wore in the final wedding scene of Freaky Friday. And that cute little guitar purse was the perfect homage to her character’s rocker roots.
Meanwhile, at the Los Angeles and New Mexico red carpet launches, Lindsay Lohan was fully embracing Barbiecore, wearing different shades of pink gowns. It was a playful nod to Y2K fashion that showed her mature, glamorous style while still having fun with each look.
Lindsay Lohan may have cringed at the black eyeliner she wore at the OG Freaky Friday premiere, but it perfectly captured the edgy, early-2000s teen spirit she embodied at the time. Fashion is always a good way to travel back in time and reflect on the trends, moods, and attitudes of a particular generation. Now that Lohan is an adult, I’m certain she’s got plenty of classy, poised looks she’ll adorn at future premieres.
Make sure to see Freakier Friday in theaters on August 8th.
I hope you’re excited, because we’re finally going to be getting another Judge Dredd movie after all these years – and a huge director is already attached to it. While it won’t be on the 2025 movie schedule, there’s a chance we could see it in the next few years.
From who will be taking on this challenge to what the film is reportedly about, this is what you need to know about the upcoming Dredd film.
What Is The Dredd Release Date?

At the time of writing this in August 2025, there is no set release date for the new Judge Dredd film, which isn’t that surprising. The news was only really just confirmed in July that a movie was officially in the works, so it would be pretty shocking if we already had a release date announced.
2026 movie schedule, but I would say we’ll be more likely to get it in 2027. Honestly, that’s great, because that just means 2027 will have another great comic adaptation alongside the many other comic book movies coming out that year, like the upcoming Avengers: Secret Warsand more.
Taika Waititi Is Directing

Now this is the big piece of news – according to The Hollywood Reporter, in July 2025, it was confirmed that Taika Waititi is going to be directing the new Judge Dredd film.
This is significant news. The director has made some of the best films of the last decade, many of which have gone on to become favorites among cinephiles. One of his biggest, Jojo Rabbit, earned six nominations at the Academy Awards and won Best Adapted Screenplay (Waititi wrote the film).
Besides that, he also directed Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder, as well as What We Do In The Shadows, Next Goal Wins, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Boy, and Eagle vs. Shark. He also worked in television, including the TV adaptation of the aforementioned Shadows, and directed episodes of The Mandalorian (one of the best shows on Disney+), Wellington Paranormal, Time Bandits, Our Flag Means Death, and more.

Honestly, I could not think of a better director to bring this violent and wacky character to life, and Waititi is going to rock it.
The Dredd Cast

So, as you can expect, there is no set cast yet for the Judge Dredd movie, mainly because it was only announced about a month ago, as of August 2025.
It’s not like this film won’t be likely to bring us stars, though. There have been two big screen adaptations before this one – one in 1995, which wasn’t well-received, and another in 2012, directed by Pete Travis, titled Dredd.
The first film had Sylvester Stallone in the titular role, but also actors like Diane Lane, Rob Schneider, Armand Assante, and more. The 2012 film had The Boys star Karl Urban as Judge Dredd (which, honestly, is great casting), as well as stars like Olivia Thirlby, Wood Harris, Game of Thrones cast member Lena Headey, and more.
I’m sure that it won’t be long before we see some significant updates on casting in this film – and I’ll be ready for whoever gets the coveted titular role.
What Is The Dredd Movie About?

The story for the new Judge Dredd movie has been kept under wraps. We only know a few details from the Hollywood Reporter article above.
According to the pitch for the film, it’s said that the it will draw more inspiration from the comics than the previous screen adaptations. It will expand the world, as well as the dark humor that the comics are known for, and cater to today’s sci-fi fans.
But that’s not it – the film is basically looking to create a new Dredd universe, so that there’s the possibility of using newly created characters to headline potential sequels.You thought there were enough upcoming Marvel movies? Think of a world with a potential Dredd franchise. Now that’s awesome.
What Is Judge Dredd?

If you don’t know what the comic is about, Judge Dredd isn’t from a comic called ‘Judge Dredd.’ The character appeared in the 1970s British anthology comic series 2000 AD. He’s a police officer living in a dystopian future where officers are allowed to become ‘judge, jury, and executioner, essentially.’
While there are plenty who would use this power to their advantage, Dredd took it seriously and took out literally anyone who went against his moral code. The entire franchise is more of a satirical look at the justice system around the world, but it features and intriguing story and some intense illustrated moments of violence.
From there, the series became huge, spawning an entire franchise that went into books, video games, and more, especially in the U.K., where the comics originated.
Drew Pearce Is Writing The Script

The last official thing that we know about the upcoming Judge Dredd film is that Drew Pearce is writing the script, which was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter article above. Apparently, both he and Waititi are huge fans of the franchise and have been looking for a chance to work together for years – the new film was their opportunity.
If Pearce’s name sounds familiar, it could be because he’s written scripts for some notable films over the last decade. Some of his most well-known works includes The Fall Guy, Hobbs & Shaw, Iron Man 3, and more. He’s also going to be writing the script for the upcoming film The Thomas Crown Affair, according to Deadline.
Okay, this already has me so excited for what’s to come, and I know I’m going to be counting down the days until I get to hear more about this film. Judge Dredd is coming back, and I am not prepared.
