Sharon Osbourne struggling to sleep alone since Ozzy’s death

Sharon Osbourne has struggled to sleep alone since her husband Ozzy Osbourne died.

Sharon Osbourne is mourning husband Ozzy

The 73-year-old matriarch was left devastated when her beloved spouse died in July aged 76 and she and her children Jack and Kelly Osbourne have now released the first episode of their The Osbournes podcast in over a year to honour the late rocker and reflect on their own grief.

The trio recorded the episode sitting around a large wooden table covered in magazines featuring the Black Sabbath frontman, and Sharon admitted:

“I hate going to bed at night.”

Kelly said: “I mean, I slept with you for the first two months so that you weren’t on your own. But then I felt like you needed some space.

“I wake up and for the first three seconds I feel normal. And then I remember everything. Mornings are the hardest for me.

“What is the morning? Because it happened in the morning. And I used to spend most of my time with Dad in the morning.”

The 41-year-old star admitted she didn’t realise just how “horrible” it would feel to lose her beloved dad, who had been in poor health for years before his death from a heart attack.

She tearfully said: “I never realised just how horrible grief is. I never knew I was capable of loving somebody so much and missing somebody so much. I just, I never thought there’d be a day where he wouldn’t be here.”

Sharon asked: “But then how blessed are you to have had a dad like him?”

Kelly noted her dad would “hate” to see her crying and admitted she has taken comfort from her three-year-old son Sidney, who she has with rocker fiance Sid Wilson.

She said: “I’m just so grateful that Sidney got to meet him. And that they had such a special little relationship.

“If it wasn’t for my baby boy…”

Father-of-four Jack agreed: “Having the kids has been a huge help.”

The 40-year-old TV personality has found some positives in his grief.

He explained: “It is both horrible and beautiful in the way that it forces you to unpack and examine things. Like, yeah, it sucks that he’s gone, but also, for me, it has led to a huge amount of gratitude and love and like really cherishing moments that at the time you take for granted.”

The public outpouring of grief for the Paranoid hitmaker has been “so helpful” to his family, but Sharon admitted she doesn’t think Ozzy would have realised how much he meant to people.

Kelly said: “The outpouring of love has been so helpful to us. I never could have even imagined it to be as helpful as it has been to know that we’re not alone in our grief, in our sadness and that the rest of the world loved him as much as we did…

“I haven’t seen an outpouring like that since Princess Diana died. I didn’t expect it.”

Sharon added: “Ozzy, he wouldn’t believe it. He wouldn’t. He didn’t realise how much he was loved and that was his beauty because he never took it for granted from anyone. He never took it for granted I’m this, I’m that. He had no idea.”

bitchy | Mail: Prince Harry hated Meghan’s Paris trip & their marriage is struggling!

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Prince Harry’s lawsuit against the Daily Mail will go to trial early next year in the UK. Harry is not the sole plaintiff, but you wouldn’t know that from the coverage of the pretrial motions and hearings. You wouldn’t know it from the way the Mail has been waging an unhinged hate campaign against Harry and Meghan as well. Over the weekend, the Mail Plus published a particularly psychotic piece from Alison Boshoff, all about how Harry is totally baffled as to why his wife would have gone to the Balenciaga show in Paris, and how Meghan’s trip caused deep fissures in their marriage. The whole piece is wildly offensive and full of lies, but the part which aggravated me the most is that almost all of the quotes are attributed to “friends of Harry” or “friends of the couple,” and the quotes are completely trashing Meghan. Like… if the Mail feels it necessary to smear the Sussexes this wildly, so be it, but just admit that the quotes are coming from royalists, palace courtiers and friends/associates of the left-behind royals. Some lowlights from this bullsh-t exclusive:

Sussex friends are agog! A week on from that surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week, and sources close to Meghan and Prince Harry remain agog. The British friends of the Prince characterise her appearance at the event as ‘beyond belief’, the Californian end are more expressive and say things such as: ‘This was f***ing wild!’

Meghan & Harry are totally miserable!? More disquietingly, though, sources close to the Duke and Duchess have indicated to me that Meghan’s choice of the French capital for her latest ‘relaunch’ has caused them deep concern. Certainly, their appearance on Thursday night in New York, where they were named ‘Humanitarians of the Year’ at the Project Healthy Minds gala will not have helped. They arrived hand in hand, with Meghan in an Armani power suit. But although the former actress shot a number of soupy glances in her husband’s direction, he looked largely furious, and his occasional smiles were tight little grimaces. Granted, when on stage they were talking about their ‘crusade’ against online harm to children, but both looked utterly miserable.

Meghan posted an IG Story a mile away from l’Alma: Extraordinarily, this was a parallel journey to that made by Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, who died in the tunnel of the same Pont de l’Alma bridge, on her final night in August 1997. Some have told me of their shock at the seeming tactlessness of using this route for the Duchess’s publicity purposes. Because Paris, to put it mildly, is not a neutral location for Harry. One perfectly placed source says they are ‘so astonished’ at all this because both Meghan and Harry have turned down numerous invitations to attend events in Paris over recent years. The reason given, I’m told, is always the same – that city’s association with the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales. A source told me there was always a hard line from him – a total, blanket ‘No’. Harry, they said, would consistently make it clear that he would not go to Paris, because of his mother. I’m told by the same source: ‘Meghan would explain when asked: ‘I cannot go to Paris because of H’s mom.’

Meghan knew what she was doing! When it comes to Meghan, say a number of former friends, nothing happens by accident. One friend of Harry’s told me: ‘She’s driving around in that city where his mother died. She knows exactly what she is doing!’ Their view is that the visit said much about Meghan’s ‘need’ for attention, and they wonder what’s going on with her and Harry. One said: ‘Harry must have been sick from trauma and worry. I simply cannot understand it.’

Why would Harry join Meghan at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit? It remains to be seen if Harry puts in an appearance on Tuesday next week, when Meghan is due to speak at Fortune magazine’s Most Powerful Women event in Washington, DC. One suspects not. One associate said: ‘They want different things and there are times when it is really not great. I mean, really not great at all.’

Meghan’s interviews: A source tells me: ‘The Bloomberg interview [in August] was odd because it felt as if Meghan had no idea what she was talking about. She said that everyone associates her with fashion, and that’s not the case. She has given quite a few print interviews in her career and more often than not they are a disaster. It’s not her best medium, she doesn’t tend to come across very well.’ Despite this, a well placed source says the word is she is currently involved in putting together a cover for a glossy magazine, maybe Vogue. An obvious explanation, then, would be that the Paris trip was necessary for that media commitment. Perhaps the cover story is ‘Meghan takes Paris’ – and the idea of that kind of prestigious media hit was simply too tempting for her to overthink Harry’s feelings.

As Ever is struggling too, lolz: But away from her marriage, where does the Duchess’s Paris sojourn leave her main business concern, As Ever? According to one friend: ‘At the moment she is literally lost because the whole jam making business did not work out in the way she thought it would. Nobody has seen any figures, but I don’t think they are that good. I know they just released a Sauvignon Blanc, but it’s not going to make her lots of money because Netflix owns the business.’ I understand that mid-range retail stores Target, Bristol Farms and Williams Sonoma have been discussed already.

Meghan wants to be financially support her family, how ghastly: A friend reveals: ‘She just wants to make money, she wants to be a billionaire. The trouble is, she doesn’t know how.’ And you have to wonder – is her husband Harry on the same page?

[From The Daily Mail]

Do you see what I’m saying about the attribution on the quotes? This piece was likely commissioned by Kensington Palace. It’s William and his courtiers, not Harry, who are salty about Meghan’s trip to Paris and Meghan’s business success and Meghan’s possible Vogue cover (which I really hope is the one true thing in this piece). The part about “she is literally lost because the whole jam making business did not work out in the way she thought it would” tells you everything you need to know about the lack of accuracy in this piece – As Ever’s first three product drops sold out immediately. She’s had to vastly increase her inventory, and she could literally just do jam and wine and she would be able to support her family financially for the rest of her life.

As for all of the hand-wringing about Paris and the Sussexes’ appearance in NYC… just… lmao. The desperation to convince people to not believe their eyes. No, really, Harry was grumpy, he doesn’t want to be around Meghan! Meanwhile, Harry was groping her ass to the point where she was like, babe, stop, we’re in public. I also don’t buy that Harry thinks Paris is off-limits for himself or his wife. He was almost definitely fine with Meghan making the trip.

Their marriage is struggling, the British media swears!!!

bitchy | Mail: Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater’s relationship is currently ‘struggling’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

In the summer of 2023, a huge gossip story broke over the course of several weeks. Ariana Grande left her then-husband, then we learned that she was seeing her costar Ethan Slater, and that was the reason for her divorce. Then we learned that Ethan was married and he and his wife just had a baby not even a year before he met Ariana. Two marriages destroyed, all because of an on-set love affair. Well, Ariana and Ethan have given it a go ever since. They’ve been together, they’ve tried to have a real relationship. And obviously, Ariana is starting to get bored. It sounds like Ethan isn’t really into it either. From a Daily Mail exclusive:

Ethan Slater thought he was stepping into a fairytale when he fell for megastar Ariana Grande on the set of Wicked nearly two years ago… but the happy ending looks further away than ever for the couple. Back then, both left long-term partners: Ariana split from realtor husband Dalton Gomez, 30, after two years of marriage, and Ethan, 33, left his high-school sweetheart and now ex-wife Lilly Jay, 31.

Cue the social media meltdown. Fans roasted them as ‘homewreckers,’ memes went viral faster than Ariana’s ponytail whipping around her head. Then Lilly herself went public with a viral essay calling Ariana ‘not a girl’s girl’, spilling on what it was like to lose her high school sweetheart to a Broadway star.

The Spotlight hears that Ethan (once best known for playing SpongeBob SquarePants in a musical) has since mended his relationship with Lilly as they co-parent their three-year-old son. But insiders say he often looks like a man caught between the life he had and the globe-trotting whirlwind he signed up for with Ariana. One source adds, ‘He sometimes wonders if he should have stayed in his quieter world; the contrast is brutal.’

Because Ariana is busy: touring arenas, rehearsing the sequel Wicked: For Good and juggling media appearances. All of which, my source says, have left Ethan struggling to keep pace – especially while being an involved dad to his son.

‘He loves her, but he’s drowning in the circus of her life,’ one insider explains. ‘He’s used to a controlled Broadway stage, not sold-out arenas screaming for every move. Even when he’s home, he’s mentally halfway through the tour or rehearsals. It’s exhausting just watching him try to keep up.’

Just days before Ariana’s big VMA night in September, Ethan was spotted quietly in Jersey City with Lilly and their little boy, co-parenting duties in full swing. Meanwhile, Ariana was surrounded by brother Frankie, stylist Law Roach, Lady Gaga and basically her own mini army. Ethan? Nowhere in sight.

Their last public appearance together was, incredibly, in late April at a preview of Little Shop of Horrors, supporting Ariana’s Victorious co-star Liz Gillies – and before that, the Oscars in March, where they were photographed hugging and chatting all night. Sources tell The Spotlight that the intensity of Ariana’s schedule – combined with the shadow of her high-profile exes and past fleeting romances – has created tension.

I hear the couple won’t confirm, or deny, any split until after Wicked: For Good premieres, in an attempt to keep the attention off their relationship. But behind the curtain, I’m told, the fairytale has ended. Ariana is flying, and Ethan is somewhere in the wings, missing the calm he left behind.

[From The Daily Mail]

That last part is critical – there probably won’t be a big split announcement until after all of the Wicked promo. That being said, it’s not like Ari and Ethan really put their relationship front-and-center in the promotion last year. They even kept their distance on red carpets, and they were only photographed together behind-the-scenes at some awards shows. Anyway, this sh-t is as much of a cliche as Keith Urban. We all knew how it would play out as soon as we learned of their affair. Ethan blew up his life for a couple of years with a pop diva who only does three-year relationships, max.

Cult fit founder shares 4 exercises to do for strong knees if your parents are struggling to walk now

As our parents or grandparents grow older, their ability to perform certain daily activities also depletes. For women, their bones grow weak, especially if they don’t work out regularly or do strength training. According to Mayo Clinic, loss of estrogen in women due to menopause and lower testosterone levels in men increases bone loss and can also lead to the development of osteoporosis.

Training your knees isn’t just for the gym—it’s for everyday life. This is how you move better, without pain holding you back.

Diving straight into strength training may not be a plausible route for many. In a September 22 Instagram video, Rishabh Telang, co-founder of Cult Fit, shared 4 exercises that he makes his 63-year-old mother do to build stronger knees. So, even if you are going to the gym or just starting out, these exercises could help you move better.

4 exercises for stronger knees

Sharing the videos featuring the 4 exercises, the Cult Fit founder wrote, “You shouldn’t have to think twice before taking the stairs, kneeling on the floor, or walking longer distances. Training your knees isn’t just for the gym—it’s for everyday life. This is how you move better, without pain holding you back.”

1. Hip thrusts

In this assisted form of hip thrust exercise, lie down on the floor near an elevated surface like a sofa, and keep your heels on the edge of the sofa. Now, with your palms resting on the floor, lift your hips off the floor and thrust them up in the air. Repeat this motion to do the exercise.

2. Leg raises

This is another form of assisted exercise, where you can ask your parents to sit on the edge of the sofa or a chair, with a straight spine, thighs parallel to the ground, and feet firmly placed. Now, raise your legs in the air, parallel to the ground, and repeat the motion for each leg.

3. Calf raises

To do this exercise, stand in front of an armchair, and using it for balance, do the calf raises by lifting your heel off the ground and balancing your body on your toes. You feel the pull in your calves. Keep your spine straight for the routine.

4. Feet raises

Sit on a chair or a sofa. Now, while keeping your spine straight, raise your toes off the ground with your heels placed on the floor.

Fitness coach shares ‘best diet to lose weight’ for men and women over 30 struggling with stubborn fat

Struggling to lose weight after 30? Fitness coach Lars Meidell shares diet tips and smart strategies to shed pounds, burn fat, and stay healthy in your 30s.

Losing weight can feel tougher as you cross 30, with slower metabolism, busy schedules, and changing hormones making fitness a challenge. Fitness coach Lars Meidell shares in his September 18 Instagram post the most effective diet tips to help you shed pounds and stay healthy in your 30s and beyond.

How do calories add up and cause weight gain over time

“This is 7,700 calories of chocolate,” Lars explains. “But there’s also 7,700 calories in 1kg of fat. This means you’d have to eat all of this chocolate on top of your maintenance calories to gain 1kg of fat. Doesn’t sound realistic to eat all of this in one day, does it?”

He adds, “So why is it that over time we gain weight even if we’re not eating huge amounts of food at once? The truth is, people get fat because calories add up gradually.”

Lars illustrates this with a simple example: “Here’s 550 calories worth of nuts, bread, and chocolate. If you just eat one of these portions on top of your maintenance calories for 14 days, you’ve gained 1kg of fat.”

What’s the key to losing stubborn fat

He advises, “You don’t have to cut out all the foods you love to live a healthy, happy, and sustainable life. But if you want to lose those stubborn love handles and achieve a toned, lean, flat stomach, you need to stop making mistakes like this.”

“To make it work, it’s crucial to know your daily calorie and protein goals, especially if you’re a man over 35. I’ve recorded a three-step guide showing how you can get the most effective nutrition plan,” concludes Lars.
