Month: July 2025

Ozzy Osbourne shared a stunning update days before he was set to take the stage for his final live performance with Black Sabbath. In a cover story for Metal Hammer, the rock legend said he plans to record new music after reuniting with his longtime bandmates for the Back to the Beginning concert on July 5 at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham.

“From the late 60s, we are probably one of the only bands where the original members are still alive and speaking with one another, as my wife says, it’s an invisible bond that can’t be broken,” Osbourne, 76, told the outlet.

“I still enjoy doing my own work, I also enjoy singing on other people’s work,” the “Crazy Train” singer added. “For the foreseeable future, I will keep on recording if the projects interest me, it’s very important.”

Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2003 but did not go public with his diagnosis until 2019. In February 2025, the rocker’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, told The Sun that the disease had not affected her husband’s vocals. “Parkinson’s is a progressive disease,” she said. “It’s not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body, and it has affected his legs. But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”

While Osbourne’s new music projects have yet to be announced, fans will get some “new” Black Sabbath music later this month. Rolling Stone reported that a collection of early Black Sabbath demos will be released on July 25 by Big Bear Records. 

Titled Earth: The Legendary Lost Tapes, the vintage tracks featuring Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward were recorded at Zella Studios in Birmingham, England, in 1969, before the band’s name was changed from Earth to Black Sabbath.

Before there was The Hunger Games, there was The Running Man. The 1987 film, based on the novel of the same name (which Stephen King wrote under a pseudonym in 1982), told the tale of a near-future world in which a gladiatorial-style game show depicted people getting hunted-down and killed. In the original film, Arnold Schwarzenegger played Ben Richards, a soldier who refused to fire on civilians, and becomes the titular Running Man. 

Now, 38 years later, director Edgar Wright has cast Glen Powell as the new Running Man, and as the just-released first trailer for the film reveals, the movie has made one very big change.

In the original film, Ben entered into the sadistic game show more to clear his name than anything else. In the new 2025 version, Ben is a dad who needs money for a medical procedure for his young child.

This makes the concept of the new Running Man a bit more Black Mirror than the original film, which had a decidedly Mad Max vibe. 

In another change, it appears that the action of the movie won’t only take place in an abandoned part of Los Angeles, set aside for the games. Instead, it appears that the reality TV aspect of The Running Man takes place in the real world, and viewers are encouraged to help “hunt him down.”

This amps up the bleakness of the original concept, and again, makes the logistics of the game much closer to Black Mirror. Will Glen Powell survive? Will Arnie make a cameo? We’ll have to see, but for now, this new Running Man looks way more intense than the 1987 version ever did. And, to be honest, does anyone miss the orange jumpsuits?

The Running Man hits theaters on November 7, 2025. The original 1987 Running Man is streaming on Tubi.

Imagine the fastest ever serve coming your way at Wimbledon. Now imagine returning it and making it look easy.

According to Wimbledon’s X page, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard set the serve-speed record on day one of the historic tournament, which started on June 30. Taylor Fritz returned it, and he made it look effortless.

“How to return the fastest ever serve at The Championships, by @Taylor_Fritz97,” Wimbledon wrote, sharing a video of Fritz returning Perricard’s serve.

The video showed that Fritz barely had time to react.

The serve clocked in at 153 miles per hour yet, Wimbledon noted on X.

The announcer declared the play “incredible.” The video has almost 500,000 views.

The play between the two players got even more intense. 

Eventually, the match was suspended because of Wimbledon’s curfew. At the time, the score was 6-7(6-8), 6-7(8-10), 6-4, 7-6(8-6). The curfew means play can’t extend past 11 p.m., according to the Tennis Gazette, which noted that some fans were upset that the match was suspended.

According to the Independent, Fritz, Wimbledon’s fifth seed, expressed frustration when the match was suspended before that 11 p.m. cut off time, as he was rallying against the Frenchman.

People expressed admiration on the X thread. “Guy was serving bombs,” wrote one person.

However, some indicated that a player needs more than a big serve. “Serving the fastest serve ever in the tournament and losing the point lmaooooo bro has no idea what to do once you return that serve,” a person wrote.

“If fastest serve was the only criteria, Ivanasevic and Roddick would’ve won Wimbledon many times! Serving fast with nothing else is one of the most tedious things to watch as a fan!” wrote another person.

Fritz is a professional tennis player from California, according to his X page.

“Then don’t ask me,” he retorted when the match was suspended until July 1, according to the Independent.

Tesla just pulled off a headline-grabbing stunt: the first fully autonomous delivery of a vehicle from its factory to a buyer’s front door. But the celebration was cut short when the car parked in a clearly marked fire lane.

In a promotional video posted Saturday, a Model Y departed Tesla’s Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, with no one inside. It navigated highways and surface streets, rolling to a stop outside its new owner’s apartment. 

The achievement marked the company’s boldest demonstration yet of a driverless future until viewers noticed the curb painted bright red with white lettering: “NO PARKING FIRE LANE.”

World’s first autonomous delivery of a car!

Tesla hasn’t clarified whether it had permission to use the space. But critics didn’t wait.

“As usual, Elon Musk’s latest PR stunt prioritizes showmanship over public safety,” wrote Dan O’Dowd, CEO of the tech safety group the Dawn Project. “Is the fine for blocking a fire lane included in the purchase price of a new Tesla?”

The autonomous delivery coincides with Tesla’s expanding robotaxi service in Austin, where a fleet of driverless vehicles has already raised eyebrows. Enthusiastic Tesla critics have documented erratic behavior, including sudden braking, near-misses with delivery trucks, and passenger drop-offs in the middle of intersections.

In one clip, a Tesla robotaxi speeds through a 15 mph zone at nearly double the limit. In another, a vehicle weaves across solid double-yellow lines to force its way into a turn lane.

Videos like these have caught the attention of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is in discussions with Tesla, often a step that precedes a formal investigation.

Despite the controversy, Musk hailed the driverless delivery as the “first fully autonomous drive with no people in the car or remotely operating the car on a public highway.” 

That claim is being challenged. Waymo, Google’s self-driving spin-off, has been quietly testing its own autonomous vehicles on highways in Arizona since 2024.

Still, it’s a big moment for Tesla even if the car forgot the most basic rule of the road: don’t park in a fire lane.
