‘Aquaman' Star Sparks Fan Mayhem at Ozzy Osbourne's Final Show
Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's Back To The Beginning concert gave metal fans a day to remember, but nothing had prepared them for Jason Momoa's wild and unexpected move.
For the first time in 20 years, the legendary rock group reunited for their last gig with the former lead singer for a spectacular performance that took place at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.
On Saturday, the stadium thundered as fans sang and roared to the band's hits such as 'War Pigs,' 'Iron Man,' 'Paranoid' and more.
'It's so good to be on this [expletive] stage, you have no idea,' Osbourne said in front of 40,000 as his winged throne rose up from under the stage before saying, 'Let the madness begin!'
As the highly anticipated event unfolded, Momoa, who was the master of ceremonies, didn't just host the show but rocked out like a true heavy metal gig-goer.
A video of the Aquaman star circulated on social media, capturing the moment he ditched the VIP area and climbed over the barricade. As he reached the crowded area, he ignited a circle pit during Pantera's performance of 'Cowboys From Hell.'

The unexpected moment quickly went viral, with fans flooding social media with reactions.
'Moshing with Jason Momoa was not on my bingo card!' one wrote.
'He is the coolest dude on the planet. Name one other celebrity as big as him who would do this... No one. Helps that he is a monster lol,' a user said.
A fan echoed the same and noted, 'Well, he just went up a few in my book.. That is freaking awesome.'
The Game of Thrones star's gestures at the concert continued to leave fans impressed.
'Looks like he single-handedly started the pit. There wasn't much movement before he arrived,' a supporter remarked.
Others poked fun and commented, 'Meanwhile, his bodyguard is regretting life's choices. Lol.'
The celebration not only featured a reunion from the original members of Black Sabbath but also notable performances from iconic rock stars such as Metallica, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Guns N' Roses, Slayer, the Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood and others.'Aquaman' Star Sparks Fan Mayhem at Ozzy Osbourne's Final Show first appeared on Parade on Jul 6, 2025

Panel Of 2024 Labour Voters Name The 1 Turning Point They Began To Like Farage
A panel of 2024 Labour voters said they started to like Reform UK after watching its leader Nigel Farage on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!. Back in late 2023 before he was elected to parliament, Farage caused a huge stir by appearing in the hit reality TV show. Even the programme's hosts Ant and Dec urged producers to take a break from having politicians as contestants. But, Farage still won over voters and ended up in third place. More than 18 months later, a panel of voters who backed Labour last July told pollsters that his appearance on the show marked the moment they started warming up to the MP for Clacton. In footage aired by the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, one voter told pollsters More in Common: 'I really like Reform. 'I didn't [like him], but it was I'm A Celeb... which turned my head for Nigel. 'I really saw a different side to him and I think he's very misunderstood.' 'He's more relatable to people, to the average person,' another woman said. 'Whereas some politicians at the present seem far removed, they're so in another world, because they are public school educated, they can't relate to the average person.' However, a different person did jump in at this point, saying: 'Nigel Farage was publicly educated, while Keir Starmer is working class but he does present that. 'So Nigel Farage puts on this image of being one of the people, but actually he went to private school.' Even so, some voters suggested they would fire Starmer for his 'disappointing' performance over the last year unless he starts to 'try harder'. Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid also told the BBC that this conversation demonstrated how voters 'need to feel a material difference in their lives'. She noted that they are still struggling with food inflation and cost of living, so the 'government are getting this wrong'. 'Perhaps Sir Keir Starmer needs to go on I'm A Celebrity... or Strictly, in order for voters to know who he is,' Reid suggested. 'The words that kept coming out of their mouths were: I don't know who he is.' "I'm A Celebrity turned my head for Nigel [Farage]"Some focus group members think Reform UK's leader is different from "public school-educated" politicians, but another points out Nigel Farage was privately educated and Keir Starmer was not#BBCLauraKhttps:// — BBC Politics (@BBCPolitics) July 6, 2025 The focus group's findings were published to mark the anniversary of Labour's landslide victory in the general election as political pundits look at how Starmer has fallen down in the polls ever since. Sky News had its own devastating way of portraying Labour's first year in office with some brutal word clouds, again from More in Common. The pollsters asked the public: 'In a word or two, what would you say has been Labour's biggest achievement in government?' The largest word by a healthy margin was 'nothing', although – in much smaller fonts – NHS, welfare, winter, election and Ukraine were all visible too.

China flexes its cuddly clout as Labubu monsters set off a global frenzy
Chinese toymaker Pop Mart's Labubu monster dolls have become a global craze. They bare their teeth from the handbags of Rihanna and Dua Lipa and have driven fans to break-ins and brawls as shoppers scramble to get hold of them – breaking new ground for Chinese pop culture. In 2022, the Financial Times asked Camille Gaujacq, a specialist in Chinese market research, whether the Beijing-based company Pop Mart, which had recently set up shop in London, could meet its goal of making more than 50 percent of its revenue abroad within five years. Gaujacq was cautious, saying it was hard to know 'to what extent a growth model based on stimulating a consumer trend' would work in the West. Three years on, customers around the world are queuing overnight – and in some cases coming to blows – to buy a Pop Mart-exclusive product: the Labubu. These half-cute, half-sinister monsters with pointed teeth and bunny ears were created by Hong Kong designer Kasing Lung and inspired by Norwegian folklore. Sold as plush toys, bag charms and figurines, they have become a global hit – along with the chaos that surrounds them. UK retailer suspends Labubu toy sales amid safety fears In Singapore late last year, CCTV footage showed a family stealing Labubu dolls from a vending machine, according to online media outlet AsiaOne, while The Sun newspaper reported that in California a car was broken into and three Labubu toys that had been on display taken.
