Aimee Osbourne, his older sister, and his mother Sharon, Ozzy, and Kelly, all chose not to appear on the TV series The Osbournes, but Jack Osbourne did.

Jack Osbourne admits he and his sister Aimee are “not close at all” as he addresses her decision not to appear on The Osbournes. The pioneering reality TV show followed rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his family for four series.
While Jack, 39, and his sister Kelly, 40, starred in the MTV hit, 41-year-old Aimee opted not to appear at all. Aimee reportedly feared she would be seen as “riding on the coat-tails” of her family as she tried to make a name in the music industry.
She stated on the Disrespectfully podcast that, “back then, she really wanted to be a musician, and the kind of musician she wanted to be was like a Fiona Apple, Mazzy Star, like this kind of obscure, mysterious, moody… and she viewed hosting a show on MTV as low-hanging fruit. She said, “I’m not going to be seen riding coat-tails,” which was how she felt.
She used to say, “Well, I can’t come on because I don’t want to be seen even more as a jumping on the bandwagon,” but after the show was enormously successful, I think she was. And she hid her heels in order to remain a little obscure and private.
According to legend, The Osbournes allegedly opened the door for reality TV shows based on well-known families. It followed the family through difficult times, including Sharon’s battle with cancer and an ATV accident that nearly caused Ozzy’s death.

When Aimee asked how regrettable she had stopped watching the show, Jack said, “I’ve never had the conversation with her, we’re never even close. She’ll be the first to admit it, so it’s a secret that our relationship isn’t great.
Do you regret it? is a question I never directly asked her. I believe there must be a feeling of “Hey, my life would have probably been different than what it is if I’ve done that,” so I don’t know if I would have regretted it.
When asked if he was “glad” that he did the show, Jack responded, “Absolutely, it was such an interesting thing to be a part of, especially how much media has changed, there’s just not that level of excitement around TV anymore like there was back then.”
In the early 2000s, The Osbournes aired.
Aimee and her family recently spotted together at her father’s funeral on Thursday. Just weeks after his 82nd birthday, rocker Ozzy passed away on July 22.
The family made a stop at Birmingham’s Black Sabbath Bridge to read the messages that thousands of fans have left since Ozzy’s passing. Before the procession started, fans waited for about five minutes while chanting “Ozzy” in front of them.

On his 250-acre estate in Buckinghamshire, the Black Sabbath frontman was cremated aside an elaborate lake. Fans have left floral tributes outside the property since his death.
When Mutawakil al-Mohamad and his family woke up on June 25th, Israeli soldiers were gunning down on their front doors.
In occupied East Jerusalem, they would have to wake up at their family home for the last time.
Al-Mohamad was concerned that the soldiers would raid his home and arrest him or his loved ones when the Israeli forces arrived at 7am in military convoys with two heavy bulldozers.
Instead, the soldiers informed the family that their home was in a “military zone” and that they should leave right away to prevent bulldozing it.
“My young children are scared,” I said to the soldiers as I opened the door. I requested ten minutes from them, and then we would all leave the house,” al-Mohamed said. He recalled the soldiers as having complied from Ramallah, the now-domicile of the occupied West Bank.
displacement and demolition
More Palestinian homes being destroyed by Israel in the occupied West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, in 2025 than in any other year since the occupation first started in 1967.
According to the United Nations, Israeli authorities have already destroyed 783 structures, which does not include the extensive destruction in refugee camps. This has resulted in the forced displacement of 1, 119 people.
As part of the military raids it launched at the start of this year, Israel has destroyed about 600 structures in the Jenin camp and a total of 300 in the Tulkarem and Nur Shams camps, according to information Al Jazeera obtained from the Palestinian human rights organization Al-Haq.
According to human rights organizations, civilians, and analysts, Israel’s real goal is to force Palestinians to flee if they can, as evidenced by its systematic home demolitions and forced displacement.
“Israel’s objectives in Gaza and the West Bank are the same.” It wants to take aim at all Palestinians, according to Al-Haq’s Murad Jadallah, a researcher into human rights.
Jadallah argued that the West Bank’s unprecedented destruction of Gaza has been stifled by Israel’s war in the region, which many experts have referred to as a genocide.
He told Al Jazeera, “Israel is profiting from the images of destruction it has created in Gaza to advance its agenda in the West Bank.”

little assistance
About 40, 000 Palestinians have fled Israeli military operations in West Bank refugee camps since the start of the year.
Many people have had trouble finding affordable alternative lodging, according to Jadallah, renting in whatever villages where they can find it, staying with relatives in overcrowded homes, or languishing in public buildings that have been converted into shelters for displaced people.
Ahmed Gaeem, 60, recalls Israeli soldiers removing his, his wife, five children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, and nephews from their Tulkarem refugee camp building in March.
Israeli soldiers informed the family that Tulkarem had been designated a “military zone” and that they would not be permitted to return there for some time.
We left with nothing but the clothes on our backs. We didn’t have enough time to pack anything, Gaeem told Al Jazeera.
One of Gaeem’s sons managed to make a brief return from a distance to assess the damage to their home a few weeks into Israel’s military campaign.
Their house was destroyed, just like countless others. Its walls caved in, the door hinges were blown off, and its windows were shattered.
For a family that relys on mediocre savings, Gaeem’s family is currently renting three homes in Iktaba village, just a few kilometers from Tulkarem city, for a total rent of about $1,300.
Gaeem noted that despite receiving $500 per month as a Palestinian Authority (PA) civil servant, the PA’s ongoing economic crisis has prevented him from receiving any pay in months.
Due to diminishing donor support and Israel’s refusal to hand over tax revenue collected on its behalf, a practice described in the Oslo Accords, the PA has struggled to pay its staff for the past few years.
The Oslo peace agreements, which were signed by the Israeli and Palestinian leaders, gave birth to the Palestinian Authority itself. In the years that followed, the agreements purportedly aimed for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
unprecedented crisis
The West Bank was divided into three zones by the Oslo Agreements.
While Israel remained in complete control of Area C, the PA was tasked with directing security, executive, and security operations in Area A and Area B.
After encircling and then destroying Palestinian homes and communities in Area C, a largely agricultural region that makes up about 60% of the West Bank, this control allowed Israel to quietly and gradually expand illegal settlements.
The Israeli army issued two orders in July, giving it the authority previously held by the PA only under the Oslo Accords to destroy homes in Area B. With the orders, Israel was able to control building and planning regulations as well as those governing agricultural sites.

Prior to these measures, Areas A and B were most frequently destroyed as reprisals for Palestinians who opposed the occupation. Palestinian residents who claim owners do not have building permits now have a legal basis to demolish them.
Human rights organizations claim that as part of a wider strategy of seizing Palestinian homes and land, Israel consistently denies Palestinians the right to build buildings.
The UN documented the destruction of 49 structures in Areas A and B among the record number of demolitions carried out in the West Bank this year.
Israel is prohibited from establishing settlements or outposts anywhere in occupied Palestinian territory under international law.
Tahani Mustafa, a West Bank expert with the International Crisis Group, noted that the expansion of demolitions in Areas A and B and the implementation of Israel’s changes to Area B are unprecedented.
She added that Area A appears to be where Palestinians are confined to ever smaller parcels of land. Israel’s ultimate goal, she said, is to make Palestinians in urban centers live more inhospitably, likely through more checkpoints and barriers to encroach on people’s lives, and by conducting more raids.
People like al-Mohamed are already worried that his family may be evicted as a result of Israel’s continued assault on Palestinians in the West Bank.
He claimed that most Palestinians believe Israel will focus its energies on the West Bank cities once its military operations in nearby camps are over.
He told Al Jazeera, “It’s difficult for us to travel anywhere else besides the West Bank.”

Beth Shriever, a British cyclist, triumphed in the 2025 World Championships in Denmark, taking home her third BMX world title.
In 35. 614 seconds, Shriever, the Olympic champion from Tokyo four years ago, came in ahead of Dutch rider Judy Baauw and Australian rider Saya Sakakibara.
Elsa Rendall Todd won silver in Copenhagen’s junior final.
After a poor first half of her semi-final, Shriever dominated in the final and fought back to beat Sakakibara, who had already won the Paris 2024 gold medal.
Shriever, a 26-year-old, described it as “absolutely incredible.”
“A crazy, crazy day of racing has passed. This is all or nothing, I said as I scraped through the semi. I’m excited to win.
Shriever won her second European title this year before clinching her third-place finish at the Olympics, finishing last last summer.
In the women’s junior final, British team-mate Rendall Todd, 17, beat New Zealand’s champion Lily Greenough, 38.130 seconds, to take silver.
According to doctors treating him, a Palestinian teenager who was shot in the eye by Israeli forces while desperately searching for food for his family in a Gaza-area neighborhood has an eye condition called forced starvation.
Abdul Rahman Abu Jazar, 15, claimed Israeli soldiers continued to shoot at him even after he was shot, making him believe that “death was near” and that this was the end.
Abu Jazar claimed he visited the site around 2am (23:00 GMT), retracing the terrifying chain of events from a hospital bed with a white bandage covering one eye.
He claimed that this was his first time visiting the distribution center. I went there because my siblings and I couldn’t eat. There was nothing we could eat.
He claims that he followed the crowd’s directions for about five hours before arriving at al-Muntazah Park in the Gaza Strip.
When they started shooting at us, we were running. Three other people were hit while I was with them. They opened fire right away as we began to run. Then my body felt like an ejector of electricity. I sat down and fell to the ground. I thought I had been electrocuted because I was unsure of where I was and just sat there. When I awoke, I asked, “Where am I?” to people.
Abu Jazar was informed by others nearby that he had been shot in the head. They continued to fire. I began reciting prayers because I was afraid.
The boy’s wounded eye was being examined by a doctor at the hospital for any signs of light. He was unable to. A gunshot wound wound that had caused a perforating eye injury was discovered by the doctor.
According to Abu Jazar, who underwent surgery, “God willing, I hope my eyesight will return.”
More aid-seeking bodies are delivered to hospitals.
Over the past 24-hour period, the Gaza Health Ministry reported that 866 wounded Palestinians had arrived at the enclave’s hospitals, including 119 bodies, including 15 that had been recovered from under the rubble of destroyed buildings or other locations.
At least 511 Palestinians were wounded in addition to the 65 who had died while seeking aid.
Palestinians who are attempting to access GHF-run distribution centers in Gaza have been regularly shot by Israeli forces, according to a report released this week by the UN claiming more than 1,300 aid seekers have been killed since the organization’s operation began in May.

According to the health ministry of the territory, at least 175 people have died as a result of Israel’s punishing blockade, including 93 children, and the situation has been worsening daily.
According to the Global Nutrition Cluster, which includes the UN health and food organizations, more than 6, 000 Palestinian children are receiving treatment for malnutrition as a result of the blockade.
Despite the fact that this humanitarian pause was intended to bring more aid into the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports from Deir el-Balah.
Palestinians are having trouble obtaining a bag of wheat flour. A food parcel is difficult to find for them. And this demonstrates that Palestinians are starving on the ground, she continued, adding that this pause and all of the Israeli claims are untrue.
Khoudary noted that the entire population relied on UN agencies and other partners to distribute food.
Son Heung-min bids his final match of his Tottenham career in front of his adoring home fans in Seoul by way of an emotional farewell.
When he was substituted in the 65th minute, his Spurs team-mates and the opposing Newcastle players performed a guard of honor at his embrace.
The 33-year-old Son was greeted off the field by the backroom staff and substitutes after Ben Davies had given him the captain’s armband, and he rested his head in his hands as he fought back tears.
Eddie Howe, manager of Newcastle, said: “My players instinctively responded.
That speaks for himself. Not just his talent, but also how he has managed to succeed throughout his career.
Son said on Saturday that leaving Spurs after ten years was “the most difficult decision of his career.”
At the Seoul World Cup Stadium, the pre-season friendly ended 1-1.
Son said, “I didn’t initially believe I was going to cry.”
“But leaving the club I’ve spent so much time with felt really tough after hearing a few words from my teammates.”
“It was a really, really happy match,” I said. I had a memorable day thanks to my fans, my teammates, and also my opponents.
James Maddison, who had only been playing for ten minutes, was taken off on a stretcher, which raised questions about his injury, according to new Tottenham manager Thomas Frank.
According to Frank, “Sometimes things in life and football can be both beautiful and brutal.”
“That’s what we have today,” the statement read. Maddison appears to have suffered a bad injury, but Son’s teammates’ unbelievable scenes and the players’ respect show up on the other side.

Son joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen for about £22 million in 2015, making him the most expensive Asian signing in Premier League history.
He was a legend at Spurs, who won the Europa League match against Manchester United to put an end to their 17-year search for a trophy in May.
Son is engaged in discussions with Los Angeles FC’s Major League Soccer (MLS) team in advanced.
After the game, Frank claimed that it was “very likely Sonny’s last game because]a move is] very close” and that saying goodbye in South Korea would “provide a beautiful ending” for Son.
Spurs will play Bayern Munich on Thursday in Germany, and they will also face Paris St-Germain in the Uefa Super Cup the following week.
Every time Son touched the ball, the eager Seoul crowd erupted in joy.
After scoring from the penalty area from the edge of the penalty area in the fourth minute, Son paid tribute to him by replicating his celebration, which he mimicked taking a photo.

Spurs will miss Son, how much?
Son’s stats speak for themselves: he scored 173 goals in 454 games, which is the highest total for Spurs, and he added 101 assists, which is his 16th-highest total in the history of the competition.
He also ranks seventh among Spurs’ 71 Premier League assists, and he became the first Asian player to achieve the award, which he scored 23 goals in addition to Mohamed Salah at Liverpool.
Son added 17 goals and added 10 assists to his league team’s 35 games the following season when Harry Kane, Spurs’ top scorer, moved to Bayern Munich in 2023.
Son, the club’s three-time all-star player of the year, was the first player to score twice in league goals last year as Spurs moved one place above the relegation zone.
Son’s influence should not be only measured by goals, though.
His best return to date came from having 0.38 assists per 90 minutes last season, which was his fifth-highest total in the league last season for players who played for more than a thousand minutes.
The statistics that illustrate his impact on the rest of the team are perhaps the most interesting.
Spurs won 42% of the 24 league games Son started in 2024-25, compared to 7% without him, and 13 of those games were lost to their captain.
