Q&A with Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald from 'Happy Gilmore 2'
'Happy Gilmore 2' is streaming live on Netflix today, July 25, and the anticipation for the sequel has been at a fever pitch, ever since the Adam Sandler project was announced. In the sequel, co-written by Sandler, Happy has left golf behind after a tragic accident years ago. When he needs to raise $300,000 to send his daughter Vienna (Sunny Sandler) to a prestigious ballet school in Paris, Happy hits the links again, where he runs into old pal Shooter (and his celebratory finger guns). Happy also has to save traditional golf when an energy drink mogul (Benny Safdie) tries to popularize a more extreme version of the sport. Our friends at USA Today caught up with the trio in advance of the release and asked a few questions of stars Adam Sandler (Gilmore), Julie Bowen (Virginia Venit) and Christopher McDonald (Shooter McGavin). Q: Adam, it takes Happy a few holes to get his signature swing back. How about you in real life? Sandler: I didn't practice at all before the movie. I don't know why. And then I was like, "Oh, yeah, how's this go again?" And then it came back pretty quick. The beauty of the movie is you can swing and miss and then they say, "OK, let's do another take." We got a few chances to get it right. Julie and Chris, this movie is packed with cameos. Who were your favorites to see walk on set? Sandler: None of them would talk to Julie. Bowen: Also, my trailer was a mile away from set. McDonald: By design. Bowen: The call sheet was coded. It did not have anybody's names on it and there were 135 different cast members. I was flying back and forth because I still have kids in school in California and we shot in New Jersey. I would see Polaroids in the hair and makeup trailer and I saw a person that no one's mentioned yet. And I'm like, "When was he here?!" "He's Newscaster No. 4." And I'm like, "Are you kidding me?" More: This breakdown of Happy Gilmore's incredible golf swing is something to behold Sandler: Bubba Watson. You loved your Bubba. Julie knows her golf, by the way. McDonald: He's a good man, Bubba Watson. I have known a few of these golf legends and legends-in-training. But seeing them one-on-one, it's like: "Oh, my God, that's Rory McIlroy. That's Bryson DeChambeau. That's Scottie Scheffler." It was mind-blowing for me. And I came in on my days off just to hang out with them. Sandler: They all love seeing Shooter. Adam, both your daughters and wife are in the sequel. What does it mean to you to have these kinds of movies that you used to make with your friends now become part of this bigger family legacy? Sandler: It is just all happening fast. Kids are growing up − they really are into acting and movies, and it's always been our thing to work with our friends and family. It's cool to see them getting better. They work hard and they go to school for it, and they love it. So, yeah, I'm just proud. Couldn't love them more. Was there anything from the first movie that you all used in the new movie? Bowen: I got my hair back. Was that your OG jersey? Sandler: I got a different size (laughs). The hockey jersey went from a medium to a something. There were a couple Xs in there. The real grandpa's clubs (from the first film) are in the movie. Bowen: Finger guns? McDonald: I brought the kids out. Chris, how many times in a week do people do the finger guns to you? McDonald: Well, it depends on where I am. Airports, 4,000. Walking the city streets of New York, 9,000. It seems like it's every day when I'm out in public. It's really cool. People are kind enough just to go, "Shootah!" and we have a good laugh. The fans are what keeps this classic going. So I have no problems at all pulling out the guns when necessary.

Kelly Osbourne mourns dad Ozzy's death with sentimental post
Kelly Osbourne, the famous daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, is speaking out after his death. Kelly, 40, posted an Instagram story with a black screen and a broken heart emoji, accompanied by the text "I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had." The caption references the opening line to Black Sabbath's 1972 ballad "Changes." Osbourne, who died Tuesday, July 22, at 76, was the band's longtime vocalist. "Changes," off of Black Sabbath's 1972 album "Vol. 4," is one of the more sentimental songs among the group's heavy metal anthems. In 2003, Osbourne and Kelly released a duet of the track rewritten to match their own story. The tender father-daughter remake served as a microcosm for the rocker's contradictions: a harsh, heavy metal shredder onstage, and a family man behind the scenes. Coldplay gives Ozzy Osbourne an emotional tribute at Nashville concert Osbourne's death was announced by his family earlier this week, who said the rocker had died in his native Birmingham, England, "surrounded by love." "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy has passed away this morning," the statement read. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time." Ozzy Osbourne thought he'd drink until the day he died. His final years, something changed. He leaves behind Kelly, as well as Sharon Osbourne, his wife of more than 40 years, and children Jessica, Aimee, Elliot, Louis and Jack. Tributes from other stars poured in immediately after the news of Osbourne's death was reported. Elton John called Osbourne "a true legend," and former Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi lamented the "heartbreaking news."

Kelly Osbourne says she's lost her ‘best friend' with dad Ozzy's death
Kelly Osbourne has released a statement following the death of her father Ozzy, saying she 'lost the best friend I ever had.' 'I feel unhappy, I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had,' she said on her Instagram story, quoting the lyrics of Black Sabbath song 'Changes.' The song originally appeared on the band's 1972 album 'Vol. 4' before Ozzy and Kelly recorded a version together in 2003 with altered lyrics, changing the song from depicting a romantic breakup to a father-daughter relationship drifting apart. Until 'The Osbournes' – the reality TV show documenting their family life – aired from 2002 to 2005, Ozzy was best known as the 'Prince of Darkness,' a pioneer of heavy metal and rock whose legendary, and controversial, antics on stage once included biting the head off a live bat. (He thought it was rubber.) But through his interactions with his wife, Sharon, and his youngest children, Kelly and Jack, the public were introduced to his domestic side, watching him bumbling around the house and telling his children not to do drugs. Ozzy died on Tuesday at age 76, his family announced in a statement, saying that 'he was with his family and surrounded by love.' They haven't yet announced a cause of death. Just weeks before his death, he played his final show in Birmingham, England, where Kelly got engaged to her long-term partner, rock musician Sid Wilson. She posted a video on Instagram of the moment that Wilson, who is part of heavy metal band Slipknot, got down on one knee and proposed in front of various family members and friends, including her parents. In the footage, Wilson can be heard saying: 'Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world.' Ozzy then interjects: 'F**k off, you're not marrying my daughter.' The assembled crowd laughs before Wilson continues: 'Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?' The couple, who have been together since at least 2022 and share a young son, Sidney, then embraced as onlookers clapped and cheered. CNN's Jack Guy contributed reporting.
