Kelly Osbourne reveals how she’s ‘found her smile again’ after Ozzy Osbourne’s death

Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne’s youngest daughter Kelly Osbourne shared an update with fans earlier following the death of her late father almost two months ago

The late Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter Kelly Osbourne has told fans that she’s “found her smile again” following his death two months ago. She shared this morning that she has now found something that “truly” makes her feel happy.

It was announced in July that musician Ozzy had died, aged 76, less than three weeks after his farewell concert with his band Black Sabbath. The news of his death was shared by his wife Sharon Osbourne and four of his children, including Kelly, 40, in a statement on the day that he died.

Kelly has spoken about grieving the loss of her father and paid tribute to him, including describing him as her “best friend,” since then. She’s now said on Instagram that she has found her smile again amid the “sadness and grief”.

Kelly said that falconry, which typically involves training and flying falcons or other birds of prey, sometimes to hunt other animals, has been making her feel “happy” lately. She shared footage of herself with some trained birds in a field.

One video showed a falcon flying over to Kelly, who was wearing a glove, before eating something that was on the glove. Another clip showed an owl flying away from Kelly before returning and seemingly being rewarded.

Alongside a photo of herself with an owl perched on her hand, Kelly wrote: “In all my sadness & grief I have found something that truly makes me happy! I never thought I would find my smile again through falconry but I did. I absolutely love being with the birds!”

The updates come after Kelly spoke about her grief and paid tribute to her late father Ozzy in a statement posted just weeks after his death. It was shared by her following the late singer’s funeral procession and private service.

Kelly expressed gratitude for the support of fans in the message on social media. As reported at the time, she wrote: “I’ve sat down to write this a hundred times and still don’t know if the words will ever feel like enough … but from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

“The love, support, and beautiful messages I’ve received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain.”

She concluded: “Grief is a strange thing – it sneaks up on you in waves – I will not be ok for a while – but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. I’m holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind. Thank you for being there. I love you all so much.”

IAEA chief notes progress in Iran talks over nuclear site inspections

Talks on resuming International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections of Iran’s nuclear sites have made progress, but its chief warned that there was “not much” time remaining.

On Monday, the director general of the United Nations nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, told the 35-nation IAEA Board of Governors in Vienna, Austria, that “Progress has been made”.

“It is my sincere hope that within the next few days it will be possible to come to a successful conclusion of these discussions,” Grossi said, adding: “There is still time, but not much.”

He did not elaborate on what the timeframe meant exactly.

While Tehran allowed inspectors from the IAEA into Iran at the end of August, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said no agreement had been reached on the resumption of full cooperation with the watchdog.

Following a 12-day war, which saw Israel and the United States bomb cities across Iran, as well as Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities, in June, Tehran decided to change its cooperation with the IAEA.

Iran expressed anger at the IAEA for paving the way for Israel’s attack by censuring the country the day before Israel struck with a damning report in May that declared that Tehran was in breach of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).

Fury then followed when the watchdog did not condemn Israeli or US attacks. In July, Iran passed a law suspending cooperation with the agency.

Within the law, any future inspection of its nuclear sites needs approval by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

However, last week, Grossi told the Reuters news agency in an interview that the board was pushing for a deal to inspect Iranian sites, including those targeted by Israel and the US.

Grossi confirmed that the IAEA had no information from Iran on the status or whereabouts of its stock of highly enriched uranium since Israel’s attacks on June 13.

“I believe there is a general understanding that by and large, the material is still there. But, of course, it needs to be verified. Some could have been lost,” he said.

“We don’t have indications that would lead us to believe that there has been major movement of material,” Grossi added.

Late last month, France, Germany and the United Kingdom triggered a mechanism to reimpose sanctions on Iran after a series of meetings failed to reach an agreement on the Iranian nuclear programme.

‘Partisan Irish fans provide timely Ryder Cup reminder’

  • 95 Comments

As Rory McIlroy addressed his eagle putt on the last hole of the Amgen Irish Open on Sunday, among the thousands surrounding the green stood two young lads clad in red and enraptured by what might happen next.

The putt from just inside 30 feet unerringly tracked before disappearing into the hole at perfect pace and both boys leapt, limbs flung in all directions, with uncontrolled delight.

Their unbridled glee was felt by every one of the thousands who let out the most glorious roar of celebration. It was louder than the cheers that greeted McIlroy’s historic, Grand Slam-clinching victory at the Masters last April.

Did K Club cheers cross the line?

The explosion of noise and fists shaken in celebration showed why we care about this sport week in, week out.

Four long days of painstaking concentration, trials and tribulations as rivals fall by the wayside – all for the chance to witness this kind of compelling climax.

Golf, and sport in general, rarely get any better. But then we had the play-off, which sadly brought moments at the other end of the spectrum.

McIlroy was up against the plucky Joakim Lagergren. A year prior, the Swede had been on the other course at the K Club winning on the lower-tier Challenge Tour while rebuilding a career that had previously been in freefall.

Lagergren’s story of sporting redemption is just the sort golf fans love. Hard work, perseverance and re-harnessed talent had brought the 33-year-old from Stockholm to this, the highest point of his playing days to date.

If McIlroy had missed that eagle attempt, the Swede would already have been champion. Now he was in a play-off with the world number two in pursuit of his fourth title of the year.

This was Lagergren’s moment as well as McIlroy’s and usually golf fans are capable of recognising such occasions. The mutual encouragement that ensues is another reason the game is so special.

He did not deserve to hear yells of “Get in the water!” while playing his second shots during the three holes of sudden death that decided the title.

Isolated idiots? Maybe. But what about the full-throated collective cheers that greeted Lagergren’s marginally pulled approach that did find the drink on the third and decisive hole of the shootout?

In the moment the TV commentators seemed not to notice, but plenty of viewers did and many will have been saddened by such partisanship from the K Club crowds.

Yes, opposing fans celebrate and cheer the misfortune of opponents in the Ryder Cup. No-one objected to the European roars that greeted Rickie Fowler’s tee shot finding water on the 16th on the final day at Rome in 2023.

But, unlike individual tournaments where skill is celebrated and mistakes bring sympathy, the Ryder Cup is a tribal contest. Crowds are there to back their team and even booing of the opposition is tolerated these days.

The galleries in Rome were as partisan in their support for Europe as we have ever seen. Remember the collective removal of headwear to taunt the cap-less Patrick Cantlay.

Maybe he got what he deserved for a perceived protest against not being paid to represent his country, but either way he was not exactly made to feel welcome by the home hoards.

Such partisanship will likely not have been forgotten by American fans. Later this month we are expecting a ‘bear pit’ atmosphere at Bethpage in support of the home team’s quest to regain the trophy.

There are fears the US fans will go over the top, that there will be nasty abuse of the European players, just as there has been at previous away Ryder Cups.

Officials say they already have plans in place to ensure it does not go the wrong side of the line. No-one wants players being put off by shouting as shots are being played.

We will all be watching closely to see whether the event is sullied by New York fans who carry the reputation of being the most partisan of American sporting supporters.

European captain Luke Donald is preparing his players to cope with the worst of it because winning an away Ryder Cup has become one of the hardest achievements in golf.

It is the last big goal of McIlroy’s remarkable year. He has won on the PGA Tour at iconic Pebble Beach, taken the prestigious Players title in Florida and become only the sixth man to win all four majors thanks to his success at Augusta National in April.

Now, for the second time, he has won the Irish Open and he was right to revel in the noise and passion generated by his extraordinary ability to seize the moment.

Inspiring a European victory in hostile territory at the end of this month would be a fitting climax to his gloriously tumultuous season.

It would certainly prompt in European fans the kind of unbridled joy witnessed by the Irish crowds, including those two young lads last Sunday – who are surely golf fans for life now.

But it might spark unsavoury scenes as well. If American fans cross that line of interfering with play, they will rightly face condemnation for ruining what should be one of the great spectacles in sport.

If it is just raw sporting partisanship that prevails, we would do well to remember it was not just the good side of such support that was on show at the Irish Open last Sunday.

London Underground at standstill as workers begin week of strikes

Members of the United Kingdom’s largest transport union have gone on strike in London, bringing the city’s underground train system to a halt as tube services are suspended.

The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) said about 10,000 members walked off their jobs on Sunday night for the first of five days of strikes over working hours and pay.

The London Underground, which carries an estimated 5 million people daily, showed on its website that all of the capital city’s underground tube lines were either suspended or partially suspended with the exception of the newly built Elizabeth Line, which took the strain of commuters seeking alternative paths into the city. The Transport for London (TfL) website crashed due to increased web traffic.

Queues formed outside Elizabeth Line stations, and platforms in the city were crowded. The rest of London’s transport system and national rail services were unaffected by the strike.

The BBC showed an image from the Neasden train depot in northwest London showing dozens of stationary tube carriages.

RMT members took positions on picket lines across tube stations in London as part of the industrial action, which began on Sunday at 6pm (17:00 GMT) and will continue until Thursday.

The transport union decided to take strike action after it rejected an annual pay increase of 3.4 percent from TfL, which is the public body responsible for operating London’s buses, underground and other transport services. RMT is also pushing for reduced working hours from 35 to 32 hours a week.

An RMT spokesperson said: “We are not going on strike to disrupt small businesses or the public. This strike is going ahead because of the intransigent approach of TfL management and their refusal to even consider a small reduction in the working week in order to help reduce fatigue and the ill-health effects of long-term shift work on our members.”

In a post on X, RMT said the tube was operating with 2,000 fewer staff than before the pandemic, which was resulting in “extreme shifts (4 am starts, 1 am finishes) to keep London moving.” The post added: “Fatigue and understaffing are a dangerous mix.”

Kim Johnson, a left-wing MP for Liverpool, showed support for the RMT members and said on social media: “No worker should be put at risk by fatigue & extreme shift rotations”.

TfL says any reduction in hours is “unaffordable and impractical”.

In a post on X, London Mayor Sadiq Khan called on TfL and RMT “to get around the table and resolve their dispute”. He added: “Nobody wants to see strike action – it causes serious disruption for Londoners, businesses and visitors alike.”

Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson reunite after bitter feud and tease huge news

One Direction stars, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, have been pictured together for the first time in 10 years following a rift between the pair

Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson have sent One Direction fans into a frenzy after popping up in a selfie together, 10 years after their famous feud.

The One Direction stars have reunited after both attending Liam Payne’s funeral last year following the star’s tragic death in Argentina in October.

Louis, 33, and Zayn, 32, were estranged for several years after they fell out in 2015 following a testy exchange on social media. When Zayn’s producer at the time – Naughty Boy – slammed Louis on Twitter, now X, the singer accused him of “riding on the back of someone else’s career,” referencing Zayn, leading to a rift between the singers, which was showing no signs of sorting itself out.

However, the End of the Day stars appear to have put the past behind them as they posed, smiling for a selfie with a fan in New York on Sunday, sending Directioners wild.

A fan page for Zayn and Louis shared the photo, captioning it: “LOUIS AND ZAYN IN NEW YORK WITH A FAN!!!!!” Responding, another person commented: “I CANT BELIEVE IT OMGGGG.” A third asked: “IM SORRY WHAT???!” And a fourth gushed: “Omggggg Zouis!!!! This makes my heart so happy!!”

Speculating whether huge news could be on the cards, wondering if Zayn could be performing at Louis’ Away From Home festival in New York in October, another fan mused: “”Waaaait a minute… could this mean Zayn will be at AFHF this year. possibly even performing?!?!”

“I mean Lou did say he had some things up his sleeve,” said another, as the rumour mill online churned at pace.

Back in February, Louis showed up to cheer on Zayn as he played in Los Angeles for his Stairway To The Sky solo world tour.

Excited Zayn announced on stage: “Tonight is special — an old friend of mine is here supporting me. I don’t want to give his location away but Louis is here tonight.”

A year after their Twitter feud, Louis’ mother, Johannah Deakin, passed away. Months after the tragedy the singer told The Sun about his mum’s dying wish – a reconciliation between him and Zayn.

He said: “My mum said, ‘You’ve got to get back in contact with Zayn. Life’s too f**king short’. A mother’s intuition is just f**king crazy. It always felt supernatural to me. My mum always knew what I was feeling and what I wanted.”

Louis and Zayn were also seen together last year, but in tragic circumstances as they paid their respects to their bandmate, Liam, following his untimely death in Argentina in October.

Seen outside a church in Amersham, the pair read the tributes to the dad-of-one as they mourned the loss of their friend, along with fellow One Direction stars, Harry Styles and Niall Horan.

Spencer Matthews says ‘I fancied a change’ as he slams Vogue Williams divorce rumours

Sp Spencer Matthews has hit back at rumours that his marriage to Vogue Williams is in trouble, after the couple decided to leave their podcast earlier this year

Reality TV star Spencer Matthews has rubbished claims that his and wife Vogue Williams’ podcast departure signals marital strife.

The Made in Chelsea personality has firmly rejected the speculation and social media gossip that has been doing the rounds throughout the year.

Spencer made it clear that people’s assumptions about them calling it quits due to leaving the show were completely baseless. Chatting to RSVP Magazine, Spencer revealed: “We stopped the Spencer and Vogue podcast because I wanted to pursue a very different podcast.

“To be honest, I wanted to give my time in that world to a very different style of podcasting. I shouldn’t have to say this, but I love my wife, we work on all kinds of things together and I see her every single day.”

“There were so many rumours about how we left that podcast and how our relationship must be in trouble. There was no truth to it at all.”

For Spencer and Vogue, who are proud parents to three little ones, handling these whispers proved rather irritating. He continued: “I would read stuff and think, ‘Where has that come from?’ It was all made up. People assumed that if we were leaving the show then we must be breaking up.

“I was just pursuing different brands and different businesses. Vogue and I will work together again down the line. We will probably do more TV and we might do another podcast, who knows? I fancied a change and so did she. She has a new podcast with her sister Amber. There are no hard feelings. People always chop and change and do different things.”

Spencer’s personal struggle with alcohol drove his decision to establish his alcohol-free drinks empire, CleanCo.. The turning point came when he was given a brutal ultimatum that he could lose Vogue if he didn’t overhaul his lifestyle completely.

He confessed: “The brand was born out of a desire to fix a problem in my life. I’m an all or nothing person and I developed a really poor relationship with alcohol.

“I was drinking every single day for many years. It wasn’t always to excess and often it felt fun, but I was doing pretty significant damage to myself at the time, certainly to my ambition and drive.

“It’s very difficult to operate at a high level when you’re constantly intoxicated. I felt like I lost a bit of control in the last couple of years and I began to feel a little ashamed of my behaviour.

“I decided I had to make a change in my life if I wasn’t going to lose everything. I spoke to people and what I was hearing was that I could lose my fiancé at the time, Vogue, who is now mother to my three amazing children. I was told I could lose everything and that it was a slippery slope. So I quit and I didn’t drink for about two years.”

When questioned about potentially losing Vogue, he confessed: “It was hard to believe when I heard that. You always think that you’re not as bad as terrible drinkers.

“I have ADHD and I’m told that if you have it that you obsess over things. Drinking was an obsession for me, and it was a competitive obsession.

“I wanted to be the last person standing and I wanted to drink the most. It was almost like a badge of honour to be a great drunk in my day.”
