Blink-182’s Travis Barker has revealed he bought Ozzy Osbourne’s saliva for $450 in wild DNA stunt.

Infinitely Recyclable Ozzy, a rock legend, has collaborated with Liquid Death to create a bizarre new album. Fans won’t even be able to drink it, even though they initially believed there might be a limited edition version.

Instead, each can costs $450 and is pre-drunk by Ozzy himself, and it is filled with traces of his signature and saliva.

Only 10 cans were ever produced, and Travis Barker, 49, from Blink-182, uploaded a photo of the empty can to Instagram and snagged one.

Travis has previously expressed his admiration for Ozzy; he recently posted vintage rock shirts for his son Rocky, and he was featured on one.

When the company dropped the launch, they branded it as a way to “recycle the one-of-one star forever,” teasing: “Once technology and federal law permit, you can replicate Ozzy and enjoy him for hundreds of years into the future.”

And in true Prince of Darkness fashion, Ozzy, who has never shied away from chaos, granted it.

“Clone me, you b**stards”! he stated. Never try freebasing it, no matter what you do. And you little perverts, don’t even think about tampering with it.

The Black Sabbath frontman has not done this before with outrageous antics. He famously slit the head off a live bat during a concert in 1982, a moment that has forever changed rock music.

He later admitted that despite believing the bat to be a rubber toy, he still required a rabies shot following the incident. Some fans believe his DNA may actually be immortal, which is why that bizarre stunt and how he managed to survive to tell the story.

Travis’ decision to buy one of the limited-edition cans has only added to the buzz, and it’s clear the drummer is just as fascinated by Ozzy as the rest of the world.

Dave Grohl pictured at Wimbledon with wife months after lovechild bombshell

Dave Grohl, the frontman of the Foo Fighters, and Jordyn Blum, his glamorous wife, have been spotted at Wimbledon. The couple’s first joint appearance since the announcement of Grohl’s secret child with another woman was made.

Nearly a year has passed since their last tournament appearance in July, when Dave appeared “snappy and irritated,” a reaction that was unheard of by fans who weren’t aware of what was happening behind the scenes.

The Foo Fighters frontman, 56, welcomed a daughter with Los Angeles-based fan Jennifer Young, 38, in August when the truth was revealed. In a public apology issued in September, Dave acknowledged the allegations.

In spite of the shock, the couple has continued to care for their family, and six months after Dave’s shock admission, in February, insiders discovered that Jordyn, 49, had “forgiven” her husband for his infidelity.

After months of receiving mixed reviews, the pair sat side by side in the prestigious Royal Box on day three of Wimbledon. In a dusty salmon pink suit and brown boots, Jordanyn looked chic as she braved the rain. While her husband looked stunning in a flawless navy suit,

Following last year’s rocking debut for Dave, the band has made their first appearance in more than a year. He was there at the time and stated on social media that he had just given birth to a new daughter who had been born outside of my marriage.

I intend to raise her in a loving and supportive manner. I’m making every effort to win their trust and get their pardon because I love my wife and my kids. As we progress together, we’re grateful for your consideration for all the children involved.

The couple were all smiles at Wimbledon
At Wimbledon (PA), the couple greeted everyone with a happy face.

A representative insisted the photo was fake after an Instagram post purported to show another baby went viral shortly after the announcement. The affair was also brought up by the revelation that Dave had spoken with a divorce attorney before making the public.

Dave’s second marriage is this. From 1994 until their split in 1997, he and photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood were married. According to The Guardian, “admitted infidelity” caused his divorce from Jennifer.

In a 1999 interview, Dave later said, “My wife was even younger. We lacked the commitment to marry. She’s the funniest weirdo you’ve ever met, and I miss her dearly. But you learn and live.

The pair looked relaxed as they watched courtside

Dave fell for Jordyn, a former MTV executive after splitting from his first wife. He claimed that their initial dates didn’t cause a commitment. He admitted that he wasn’t ready for a committed relationship. However, he changed of heart three months later, and his romance resurfaced.

P Diddy trial: Exactly what racketeering means as jury in deadlock on one charge

The jury is still waiting to decide the most serious racketeering conspiracy charge, which carries a life sentence, though Sean Diddy’s sex trafficking trial is almost over.

The jury in Sean ‘Diddy’ Comb’s sex trafficking trial have reached a verdict on four out of five counts against the disgraced star, but they say they are currently unable to reach a decision on the most serious charge.

The judge instructed the jury of 12 to continue weighing the charge of racketeering conspiracy, insisting that two days of deliberations were too soon to reach a verdict on all counts.

Judge Arun Subramanian received a note at 4.05 p.m. on Tuesday confirming that the jury had “unpersuasive views” on both sides and that they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

Juries have a right to deliver a partial verdict, but they were encouraged to continue deliberations, given they had only started on Monday. As soon as the note was delivered in court, the hip-hop mogul’s lawyers surrounded him to explain the situation as he appeared agitated, with the moment captured by a courtroom artist.

Racketeering: What is it?

Making money off of organized illegal activities is known as racketeering. Since at least 2008, Combs has been accused of operating a criminal enterprise that has committed crimes like sex trafficking and forced labor.

Continue reading the article.

Combs wanted to coerce and abuse women and people around him to satisfy his sexual desire while also keeping his behavior a secret, the government claimed. The most difficult charge is the one involving the racketeering conspiracy because it requires the jury to determine whether he organized a “racketeering enterprise” as well as whether or not he engaged in any or all of the various crimes, including kidnapping and arson.

Rico, what is it?

The charge is referred to as the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, which is most frequently used in cases involving organized crime and drug cartels. The singer’s defense attorneys contend that the prosecution is attempting to criminalize his swing lifestyle and that his actions could constitute domestic violence but not federal felonies.

The 55-year-old could spend life behind bars if found guilty of all charges, which would entail a maximum sentence. The jury is reviewing the critical testimony of Combs’ ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, who he had been dating for about 11 years.

Jurors’ questions answered

About 75 minutes into the second day of the trial, witnesses alleged that Combs used his wealth, violence, and celebrity to coerce two girlfriends into drug-fueled sex marathons with male sex producers known as “freak-offs” or “hotel nights” to demand the testimony.

Eight men and four women from the panel requested Ms. Ventura’s account of Combs beating, kicking, and dragging her in a hotel in Los Angeles in 2016 — an assault that was captured on infamous security camera footage.

They also requested to hear Ms. Ventura’s account of a 2013 incident where she claimed Combs accused her of abusing her and had kicked her off their yacht at the Cannes Film Festival in France. She claimed that he threatened to release explicit videos of her having sex on their return to the US.

P Diddy charges in full.

Combs has denied all of the allegations brought against him, including:

  • Count 1: Racketeering conspiracy
  • Victim 1 (Cassie Ventura) is the subject of Count 2 – Sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion.
  • Count 3 – Transportation to engage in prostitution in relation to victim 1 (Cassie) and professional sex workers
  • Count 4 – Sex trafficking perpetrated by force, fraud, or coercion (victim 2).
  • Count 5 – Transportation to engage in prostitution, relating to Victim 2 (Jane Doe) and professional sex workers

Two and four count for a minimum of 15 years. Life is the maximum sentence permitted by the counts. Three and five count for ten years in prison.

Taylor Swift fans think they know title of her next album after spotting ‘Easter eggs’

Taylor Swift’s double album, The Tortured Poets Department, was released 14 months ago, and fans now think they have found clues about the title of its follow-up album.

Taylor Swift’s most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, wowted fans in April 2024 when The Eras Tour made its way to Europe, which has been delayed by more than a year. The American star has since found love with Travis Kelce and left her ties to Matty Healy and Joe Alwyn.

Fans had hoped the romance would quickly inspire the 35-year old to pen new material, particularly as Tortured Poets Department came so soon on the back of her previous record, Midnights. However, nothing has been forthcoming since Taylor embarked on a well earned break after performing a staggering 152 dates around the world.

Now, however, fans believe they have spotted a number of “Easter eggs”, which point to the name of her 12th album and its imminent release.

Without prior authorization, content cannot be displayed.

Superfan Britton Rae took to Twitter to say that the Shake It Off singer’s album would be titled “Postcards” and would be released in August.

Taylor Swift’s website has undergone a bit of a rebrand, with new font, new color, and blue and white font, Britton explained in a video.

Continue reading the article below.

If you bought anything, you could get these postcards, two of which are in black and one of them is in color, according to Britton. The only music video we received from Tortured Poets Department was in black and white, which may be related to the fact that it is a double album. “

The color image, according to Britton, might represent the coming “new era,” which would leave the black and white behind and enter a new era of color into the day.

She also highlighted the new font on the back of the postcard, whilst a QR code takes you to the Bad Blood singer’s website, which states ‘Discover more’. “It could be saying discover more merch, but perhaps it’s literally saying ‘more’ is coming,” Britton said, before telling viewers she’d seen a Reddit discussion in which it had been proposed that ‘Postcards’ would be a collection of memories she had made on tour.

“Just think about what this could be mean – each postcard could be a letter to her fans back home and all of her listeners,” Britton added. “It makes perfect sense to me because there is some level of continuity that Taylor Swift maintains throughout all her eras.

She frequently refers to her songs as letters because “we can think of so many songs where she has said something similar to writing letters.” What if she continues to lean into that for the rest of her life after doing it before? “

For instance, Britton cited the fact that Midnights’ final song, Hits Different, ends with the lyrics, “Have they come come take me away? ” Following Fortnight’s, “I was supposed to be sent away, but they forgot to come and get me,” the Tortured Poets Department follows.

Who was the first artist to feature in “Fortnight”? Britton referred to Post-Malone. “Post. And in the final phrase of The Manuscript, it says, “The only thing left is the manuscript/One last souvenir from my trip to your shores,” which is a common souvenir? Postcards ! “

Briston concluded, “This just makes too many Easter eggs make sense to me. “

Another fan said, “THIS is an easter egg that makes sense, not the other ones that involve complicated and nonsensical math.” “

Max George returns to hospital after second heart surgery as he shares update

The Wanted’s Max George, who announced that he had a pacemaker fitted last year, has shared an update with fans just months after undergoing heart surgery for a second time

Singer Max George has shared an update with fans just months after announcing that he had heart surgery for a second time. He revealed this morning that he has returned to hospital, with him sharing a photo from the visit.

Max, 36, had a pacemaker fitted in December after sharing with fans that he had a ‘block’ in his heart. The Wanted member then revealed in February that he had a second surgery after having “physical symptoms” in his chest.

He has kept fans updated throughout the experience through posts on social media, like over his return to work. It included Max joining his partner Maisie Smith on the UK tour for Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds earlier this year.

Max has now shared another update on Instagram. This morning, he shared a photo from the Cardiology & Chest Clinic at an undisclosed hospital. It showed an empty corridor outside the clinic and Max didn’t write a caption.

He has previously spoken about having check-ups after having his pacemaker fitted last year. Max told fans shortly after the initial procedure in December: “I’m in the hospital tomorrow for another check-up because I’ve been getting this like flicking feeling in the left hand side of my chest.”

Max asked fans if they had any experience with the symptom. He also said: “Maybe it’s touching a nerve and it will go away in time, or they may have to move the wires slightly but I’m all ears because all I’m doing at the moment is y’know doing research and stuff cause I know nothing about pacemakers.”

His first pacemaker surgery came just just weeks after he had announced that doctors had found “issues” with his heart. Max had previously shared with his followers: “I felt really unwell and was taken in to hospital. Unfortunately after some tests they’ve found that I have some issues with my heart.”

He revealed that he had the pacemaker fitted weeks later. Max said in a post on Instagram at the time: “Pacemaker is in. Operation took around 2 and a half hours. The main issue being some of my veins had collapsed where the wires were meant to go … but I’m hoping everything turns out ok.”

After subsequent updates, Max shared in February that he had his second procedure. He said: “A few weeks ago I had to go back into hospital after having some physical symptoms in my chest. It turned out that one of the leads was placed too far into my heart. The second pacemaker surgery took about 2 hours.”

Max added: “It’s been a setback, but it’s just one of those things. I’ve had a few complications the last couple of months but I’m having loads of tests to make sure everything is all good. It could take a few weeks / months for the inflammation of my heart to subside, but I’m sure I’ll be back on top form in no time.”

The following month, just days before posting about going “back to work,” Max said that he was feeling “stronger”. He wrote in a post that was uploaded in March: “Round 2 seems a distance memory … feeling so much stronger every day!”

Meghan Markle has been forced to give away some of her jam for free after an awkward glitch on her As Ever website. Last month, Meghan dropped brand new items from her lifestyle brand, including an apricot spread, as well as restocking other products including her flower sprinkles.

But it has emerged that some customers who thought they had secured the £7 apricot spread have now been sent emails telling them that they would not be receiving the products, due to high demand. And to rectify the situation, not only would they be receiving a full refund but also be sent a jar of the spread for free when it is back in stock.

The email sent to customers said: “‘Due to high demand, we are unable to fulfil your order of the apricot spread at this time. We are refunding the purchase of this item by the end of this week.

“In addition to the refund, we want you to know that when the apricot spread is back in stock, you will be the first to receive it, free of charge.”

The glitch emerged as Meghan’s new rose wine, which is said to “capture the essence of sun-drenched outdoor moments” and costs more than £20 a bottle, sold out within an hour yesterday.

Meghan launched her As Ever Napa Valley Rose 2023, described as having “soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish”, on Tuesday. The beverage, priced at more than £65 for a minimum three-bottle order, had only appeared to be available for US customers to buy, with shipping addresses limited to America.

The wine went on sale at 4pm UK time, but the site was updated less than an hour later to signal stocks were sold out.

In a post on Instagram, the duchess’ As Ever brand said: “It’s here! Raise a glass to the newest addition to the As Ever family. Our beautiful Napa Valley rose is now available”. A short clip showed the wine being poured into a glass, with an accompanying sound.

The pale pink wine, in a clear bottle with a white gold-rimmed label, was launched on a dedicated wine.asever.com where an over-21 birth date must be inputted to enter and where the drink was described as: “A delicately balanced rose with soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish.”

The site adds: “Reminiscent of the finest Provencal styles, it’s crisp, pale in color, and effortlessly elegant – crafted for slow afternoons and golden-hour gatherings. This rose captures the essence of sun-drenched outdoor moments through its thoughtfully crafted blend.”

The wine was not available to buy in orders of less than three bottles. Three bottles cost 90 US dollars (£65.64), six bottles cost 159 dollars (£115.97) including a 12 per cent discount, and 12 bottles are priced at 300 dollars (£218.81) including a 17 per cent discount.

Shipping, which begins on July 9, costs an additional flat rate 20 dollars (£14.59) per order. Napa Valley wine country is in northern California, around 50 miles from San Francisco.
