Ozzy Osbourne's Love for Burritos is Cemented in Chipotle History
Ozzy Osbourne called Chipotle his "favorite, favorite burrito joint" and was the first Celebrity Card recipient Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne considered Chipotle to be a legendary restaurant. The Black Sabbath member, who died at 76 on Tuesday, July 22, expressed his love for the fast food spot in his family's reality show, The Osbournes. And Chipotle had a loving (and historic) response to the late star's admiration. In season 2 episode 6 of the MTV series, the musical icon was entranced while watching a Chipotle employee wrap his burrito. 'This is my favorite, my favorite, favorite, favorite, burrito joint this is,' he said, awestruck and with his hands to his face in disbelief. Ozzy even ordered an extra burrito, explaining one was for now and the other was for later. In the same 2003 episode, when asked how often he ate burritos daily, Ozzy said, 'Twice a day, I am Burrito Man.' Sharon said of her husband, 'Your father can't eat one burrito, he has to have 900 burritos.' Ozzy's love for the fast-casual Mexican restaurant prompted Chipotle to invent a special gift for him: the first Celebrity Card. The Celebrity Card has been gifted to athletes, musicians and other stars for more than 20 years, according to Chipotle's website. But Chipotle expanded its Celebrity Card opportunities to regular customers, allowing fans to apply to become a Celebrity Card holder last year. The card entitles the holder to one free meal every day and a complimentary catering order for up to 50 people with an approximate value of $20,000 A source at Chipotle confirmed to PEOPLE that Ozzy had a card, saying, 'In 2003, a musician turned television star raved about Chipotle on his family's reality television show, prompting Chipotle to issue its first-ever Celebrity Card.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories In a statement on Tuesday, July 22, Osbourne's family told PEOPLE: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time." In January 2020, Osbourne revealed that he'd been diagnosed in 2003 with Parkinson's disease, a nervous system disorder that affects movement. At the time, he said, "It's not a death sentence." Weeks before his death, Osbourne performed from a throne at the Black Sabbath farewell concert on July 5 in Birmingham. It would be his final concert and his first in 20 years with the band that made him a star. Read the original article on People

Did Carrie and Aidan Break Up on 'And Just Like That'? Here's What Producers Say
[Major spoilers ahead for this week's episode of And Just Like That.] Okay, the And Just Like That... writers room must be reading the commentary online, because after bringing Aidan back last season only to put he and Carrie in a long distance relationship this season, they have decided to break them up after all. In this week's episode, Aidan becomes wary of Carrie's relationship with Duncan, and that starts a whole discussion about how he still doesn't trust her after all these years. It's a devastating argument to watch, and at the end of it, they decide to break up because Carrie admits that she's no longer "100 percent" in the relationship. Executive producer Elisa Zuritsky told TVLine that the decision to break them up was actually made pretty early in the crafting of the season. 'It wasn't a fiery debate in the room. I think it really came down to the way the previous season ended, with Aidan's family proving to be such an obstacle,' she said. She also said the team 'really did want to play it out in the real world and think of [Carrie and Aidan] as real people, and take them out of the fantasy Disney prince and princess happy ending that we were kind of playing with in season 2. It did feel like too much to ask of those two people, especially with their baggage.' Fellow executive producer Julie Rottenberg agreed, saying that it was not realistic for their relationship to move forward considering everything that's happened. 'I think we all knew their problems were systemic enough that they would not survive,' Rottenberg says. As devastating as this is, does this finally mean we'll get to see single Carrie dating around? A girl can dream!!

Rachel Zegler Is Set to Return to 'Evita' After Leaving Mid-Show
Rachel Zegler's gig as the titular character in Jamie Lloyd's revival of Evita at the London Palladium has been all over our social feeds thanks to her stunning performances, but she made headlines for a different reason during her latest show. On July 24, the Cosmopolitan cover girl suddenly exited the stage mid-show as she had fallen ill. According to People, Rachel's departure was announced during intermission, and her understudy, Bella Brown, stepped into the role despite appearing as Perón's Mistress earlier in the night. After a 45-minute intermission, Bella transformed into Evita just in time for the Tony-winning musical's second act. A source in the audience told E! News, 'The interval lasted almost 40 to 45 minutes and then the balcony scene with Bella began. You would have thought the roof was going to cave in from the applause. Even more so when she entered on stage for the first time after the balcony scene.' She opened with the iconic number, 'Don't Cry for Me, Argentina,' marking her second time playing Eva Perón after she made her debut on July 14. In this production, Jamie Lloyd and Andrew Lloyd Webber pulled a page from his Sunset Blvd. book and takes the performance outdoors. At this point in the show, Eva sings to a crowd of Argentinians from the balcony of the Presidential Palace, which is actually the London Palladium's balcony IRL. Since Evita's opening night on July 1, the general public has swarmed the outside of the venue on Argyll Street to catch a glimpse of the stars in action. After Bella carried the rest of the show in Rachel's absence, she received a standing ovation that lasted nearly five minutes, and according to fans on social media, the cast had bowed 10 separate times during the curtain call. She expressed her appreciation for the cast, crew, and crowd with a series of Instagram Stories following the performance. 'Today really showed just how important swings and covers are within this industry,' the actress later wrote in an Instagram Story. 'They are pillars of a show!! A proud day to be at Evita.' In a separate post, she added, 'What a lucky audience getting to see both myself and MY ANGEL REG ZEG!!' While we hope Rachel has a speedy recovery, her rep confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that she is scheduled to return and perform Friday evening.
