“@kanyewest asked permission to sample a section of a 1983 live performance of ‘Iron Man’ from the US festival without vocals and was refused permission because he is an antisemite and has caused untold heartache to many,” Ozzy wrote on X Friday afternoon.

. @KANYEWEST ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF “IRON MAN” FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY. HE WENT AHEAD AND USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM…

“He went ahead and used the sample anyway at his album listening party last night,” the 75-year-old continued. “I want no association with this man!”

The former rock star’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, who was raised Jewish, told TMZ on Friday that “Kanye f—ed with the wrong Jew this time,” adding that she and Ozzy had already sent a cease-and-desist order to Ye.

Sharon, 71, reportedly told the outlet that a representative from Kanye’s team reached out about three weeks ago asking permission to sample the Black Sabbath song, and was met with an “absolutely not” from her husband.

She added that Ye, who’s had a fall from grace over the last few years due to his frequent antisemitic remarks and praising of Hitler, now “represents hate.” She went on to call him “dangerous” and a “pig.”

The Osbournes’ sentiments come despite West publicly issuing an apology to the Jewish community in December.

“It was not my intention to offend or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused,” the rapper said in an Instagram post written in Hebrew, which has since been deleted.

Meanwhile, after Ozzy’s tirade on social media, some users were quick to point out that he himself once cited Hitler as an influence.

During a 1982 interview on the TV series “Night Flight,” Ozzy acknowledged that what the Nazi leader did was bad, but said, “Adolf Hitler had a charisma, in a bad way, and I kind of admired him.”

The comedic actress, known for roles in “White Chicks” and “Freaks and Geeks,” has teamed up with her ex-husband, Marc Silverstein, to host an NYC “garage sale” — the proceeds of which will go to causes close to her heart.

The event takes place this Saturday and Sunday at Cure Thrift Shop (97 3rd Ave.) from noon to 5 p.m. The former couple will even be on hand to sell swag that was stuck in storage since they relocated from Los Angeles to New York City during the pandemic.

Founded in 2008 by Elizabeth Wolff — a self-described thrift shop-scouring, dumpster-diving New Yorker, who dedicates her life to finding a cure for juvenile diabetes — the purpose-driven emporium has become one of the “CougarTown” star’s favorite haunts.

“I love Cure Thrift and shop there myself,” Philipps told the Daily News on Friday.

“Liz Wolff has an incredible eye and I love that Cure has a charity component,” she added. “Amy Sedaris had done pop up sales with her and after Liz and I met, I knew the only way Marc and I could do this sale was with Cure.”

During a Fashion Week event at The Plaza Hotel on Thursday, Philipps revealed that her best friend, five-time Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams, also donated some items to sell off.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale will go to benefit organizations supporting women’s reproductive rights. Philipps, who opened up in 2019 about having an abortion at the age of 15, has long been a staunch advocate for reproductive freedom.

The actress initially promoted the weekend event in a Jan. 27 Instagram video, describing it “as the garage sale to end them all” and laid out the ground rules (no early birds! no cash! and no being a jerk to anyone at the sale, etc).

On Friday, Philipps again promoted the sale while shouting out friend Gwyneth Paltrow for “paving the way by talking about a different way to separate” — nodding to Paltrow’s “conscious uncoupling” from ex-husband, Chris Martin.

Philipps and the “I Feel Pretty” filmmaker, who wed in June 2007, quietly separated in 2021. The former couple share two children, Birdie Leigh, 15, and 10-year-old Cricket Pearl.

News broke earlier in the day that the 76-year-old was diagnosed with prostate cancer, after a report was widely shared from Miami’s ABC affiliate Local10, citing sources close to the matter.

Somehow, a rumor seemed to get back to “The Juice” that people thought he was in hospice care, because he then took to X, sharing a video from behind the wheel of his car and telling the camera, “I’m not in any hospice, I don’t know who put that out there.”

Simpson didn’t address the cancer or chemo reports but added that he’s “hosting a ton of friends for the Super Bowl here in Las Vegas. All is well!”

Back in May, the former Buffalo Bills star briefly glossed over the fact that he had undergone chemotherapy for a cancer diagnosis in a separate video.

“[I] unfortunately caught cancer” in recent years, he told the camera, and “had to do the whole chemo thing,” Simpson said. He didn’t offer any additional details but clarified that he was “over the chemo stuff” now.

It’s unclear whether the latest reports of prostate cancer are connected to the previous diagnosis he shared, but from the clip posted Friday, it appears he’s at least healthy enough to host a Super Bowl party at his Las Vegas home.

Simpson moved into a gated community in Sin City after serving nine years in a Nevada prison for armed robbery.

In 2007, he was caught leading a group of five men into a confrontation with several sports collectibles dealers in a Las Vegas casino. The football legend maintained that he had only aimed to take back personal mementoes and items which were previously stolen from him.

The incident came a little over a decade after Simpson was acquitted in what became known as “The Trial of the Century,” surrounding the double murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994.

“His sharp insights perfectly meet this remarkable time of divided politics,” White House Correspondents’ Association President Kelly O’Donnell said on Friday while announcing the upcoming gig.

“His smart brand of comedy and keen observation will turn up the heat on the national news media and across the political spectrum,” she continued. “A night of laughs and reflections as our dinner honors freedom of the press as a cornerstone of American democracy. I am beyond excited to welcome one of NBC’s brightest stars to one of Washington’s greatest traditions.”

Along with fellow funnyman Michael Che, Jost has spent the past decade anchoring the venerable sketch comedy show’s fake-news segment, “Weekend Update.”

Jost began his career as an actual journalist with his local newspaper, the Staten Island Advance. He has penned articles for The New York Times and The New Yorker. His resume includes his New York Times bestselling memoir, “A Very Punchable Face.”

The 41-year-old comedian is no stranger to making fun of political figures, thanks to his weekly gig on late-night TV. That included a 2020 impersonation of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who once lived in the same dorm as Jost at Harvard.

Last year’s dinner was hosted by comedian Roy WoodJr., while former “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah did the honors in 2022. The 103-year-old event was cancelled the two previous years on account of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Every U.S. president except Donald Trump has attended the annual skewering of political and media figures. The 45th president has repeatedly stated “Saturday Night Live” should be investigated for mocking him while he was in office.

President Biden spoke at last year’s gathering, where he expressed support for Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who’s currently held captive by the Russian government on charges of espionage. Biden is expected to attend this year’s event as well.

Wood Jr. last year described the president as “an 80-year-old man begging us for four more years of work.” Biden and Trump appear headed for rematch in November.

The 48-year-old rapper and activist’s eldest son, Mikael “Pony Boy” Render, 21, underwent kidney transplant surgery on Monday after a three-year wait, TMZ reported.

In an interview published Thursday, Killer Mike opened up about the twist of fate following his detainment for misdemeanor battery at the Crytpo.com Arena.

“The very next morning, I got a call that my child, after being on the list for three years, finally got his kidney,” the “Scientists and Engineers” lyricist told GQ. “And I can just truly tell you that God is real. And the same way Christ gave us an example of being by himself, of being tempted by Satan, I understand that a lot better now because I could have succumbed to anger or evil and talked s–t. But I’m just grateful. I’m grateful.”

He continued: “I’m grateful that God showed me within 24 hours that there’s something more important than even the accolades you’ve worked for. And that’s my family and my child and I’m just thankful. I thank Him.”

Killer Mike, whose real name is Michael Santiago Render, won Grammys for Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song during the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.

The Atlanta native was arrested, booked and released after an alleged “physical altercation” with a female security guard at a security checkpoint outside of the venu.

“What a stupid, self-centered, tone deaf a–hole,” Wheaton wrote of the Curb Your Enthusiasm star.

“All the time, when I was growing up, my dad would grab me by the shoulders and shake me while he screamed in my face,” he continued. “He choked me more than once. He was always out of control, always in a furious rage, and always terrifying. I’m a 51 year-old man and my heart is pounding right now, recalling how I felt when I was a little boy who loved Grover the way today’s kids love Elmo.”

Wheaton, who appeared in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “Stand By Me,” went on to describe 76-year-old David’s behavior as “appalling,” “unforgivable,” and “despicable,” adding that it hit “more than one raw nerve for me.” He also slammed the comedian’s apology as “obviously insincere,” and questioned what he was thinking at the time.

“You couldn’t stand that a puppet brought people together in a meaningful way that you can’t? You couldn’t stand that your appearance on national television to promote your wildly successful series was delayed for a few seconds while the adults talked about mental health?”

Wheaton was referring to a social media post shared on X by Elmo on January 30.

“Elmo is just checking in,” he wrote. “How is everybody doing?

The post drew thousands of responses — some of them silly, others sincere and nearly all of them lamenting their current situations. Days later, during an appearance on “Today” to promote the final season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” David grabbed the red puppet and gave him shake, saying, “Someone had to do it.”

Elmo called after: “Mr. Larry, Elmo liked you before!”

David went on to apologize to Elmo later on in the segment.

“In the ‘Sesame Street’ universe, ELMO IS A CHILD, who is currently putting mental health and caring for others in the spotlight,” Wheaton said. “Elmo is an avatar for children all over the world. Children who are too small to understand Elmo is a puppet will know that a man attacked someone they love for no reason, and that will frighten and confuse them.”

Cory Althoff, 34, wanted to maintain his normal lifestyle as a software company executive, the source told the gossip site. The news came after many speculated the separation was related to Bobbi’s awkward interview and mysterious falling out with rapper Drake.

In his court documents, Cory cited July 4 as the date he and Bobbi split up, which was around the same time the podcaster landed Drake on her show, “The Really Good Podcast.”

The interview featured Bobbi Althoff and Drake in bed together — and fully clothed — having an awkward conversation. Online users questioned why the interview was deleted in August, and TMZ’s sources confirm that the two had a major falling out.

The Grammy-winning artist apparently invited the podcaster to one of his concerts in L.A. on Aug. 12, but only offered her a general admission pass.

Sources say the podcaster was upset she did not receive a VIP pass and even tried to force her way backstage at one point. She was even captured in a video by fans during the night looking less-than-pleased.

“As most of you have heard, Cory and I have filed for divorce,” Bobbi wrote on Instagram late Wednesday. “As sad as I am right now, I am so thankful for the time I got to be his wife.”

The two share daughters Isla, 1, and Luca, 3, and the father is reportedly seeking joint physical and legal custody of the children.

The Dutch DJ announced the news on his social media accounts Thursday afternoon.

“Me and my team have been preparing something truly special for months, but a personal family emergency is forcing me to return home Sunday morning,” wrote the well-regarded music man.

“It was a tough decision to miss the game, but family always comes first,” he added. “Thank you to the @NFL for the collaboration and looking forward to working with them to deliver something incredible together in the future!”

No additional information about the nature of the emergency was made available.

Tiesto, 55, had been scheduled to perform for the crowd during breaks in the game.

Hours after he pulled out, Kaskade was announced as the replacement DJ.

Parts of the DJ set will be shown during the broadcast.

“As a kid who grew up in Chicago watching the Super Bowl every year with my family this chance to actually be part of it is absolutely mind blowing,” Kaskdade, 52, wrote on social media.

Usher is scheduled to perform during the halftime show with several so-far-unannounced guests. Before the game begins, Reba McEntire will sing the national anthem, Post Malone will sing “America the Beautiful” and Andra Day will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

Super Bowl LVIII will kickoff at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas this Sunday at 6:30 p.m.

Premiering Feb. 16, “Snoopy Presents: Welcome Home, Franklin” will explore the origin story of beloved character Franklin Armstrong, who was first introduced to primetime viewers in 1973’s “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.”

While the cartoon’s inclusion of diversity was welcomed in the aftermath of the tumultuous Civil Rights Movement, the show hit a sour note with viewers by segregating its only Black character from the rest of the Peanuts gang — having him seated by himself on a beach chair on the opposite side of the table, during what would’ve otherwise been a festive dinner scene.

But the recently released trailer for the upcoming special takes the racist undertones of yester-century head on with a plot twist. This time, when the Peanuts crew sits down for a similar group meal, there’s a seat at the table for Franklin.

“Hey, Franklin, we saved you a seat over here,” Linus van Pelt says, motioning to a place next to Charlie Brown.

The official synopsis for “Welcome Home, Franklin” describes the character as a military kid who’s new to town. After receiving a notebook from his grandfather filled with advice on friendship — and a few futile attempts at trying to make new pals — Franklin enters a soap box derby race and eventually bonds with Charlie Brown.

Before making his TV debut, Franklin was originally introduced in Charles Schulz’s widely read “Peanuts” comic strip on July 31, 1968 — less than four months after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

According to lore, a white school teacher in California named Harriet Glickman wrote a letter to Schulz in which she urged the cartoonist to add a Black character to the comic in an effort to bridge racial gaps.

Commercials for Super Bowl LVIII reportedly have an average cost of $7 million per 30 seconds of air-time — up 75% from roughly $4 million a decade ago.

As the buzz builds around what will surely be the most-watched event of the year (Super Bowl LVII took the crown in 2023 with over 115 million viewers), some companies have gotten into the habit of releasing their spots a few days before kickoff.

So far, some of our favorites include an action-packed Doritos ad with two gravity-defying grandmothers, as well as Sir Patrick Stewart donning a leather helmet on Paramount Mountain. Here’s our list of the best Super Bowl sneak peeks:

Doritos Dinamita

Jenna Ortega’s faux-grandmothers “Dina and Mita” go on the attack, after the last bag of Doritos Dinamita are taken from the grocery store. “It’s not ‘dynamite,’ it’s ‘Dinamita,'” is sure to be one of the more memorable lines from this year’s ads.

Paramount+

Sir Patrick Stewart still has his old football uniform, and he’s only got one play on his wristband: “Throw the Child.” In this case, the child just so happens to be Arnold from Nickelodeon’s “Hey Arnold!,” with his football-shaped head.

The star-studded commercial also includes NFL quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, “Survivor” host Jeff Probst, Knuckles from the “Sonic” franchise, talk show host Drew Barrymore, and cartoon Peppa Pig, among other stars and characters — showcasing the streamer’s wide-ranging viewing options.

Uber Eats

“In order to remember something, you gotta forget something else,” is Jennifer Aniston’s mantra in this Uber Eats commercial, which leads to an awkward interaction with her former “Friends” co-star David Schwimmer.

Even more frightening, “Posh Spice” Victoria Beckham can’t seem to remember the name of her former girl group, while country star Jelly Roll doesn’t recall getting face tattoos.

Coors Light

The Coors Light “Chill Train” is back, and makes a Kool-Aid Man-esque entrance into a family’s living room. But when you see who’s driving, you can’t be mad. Besides, he knows a “guy who can fix this.”

Oreo

Oreo’s first Super Bowl ad since 2013 takes an alternative look at decisions that have shaped history, from the famed Trojan Horse entering the city of Troy, to Kris Jenner signing the first contract for “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” Have people really been “twisting on everything this whole time?”

Google Pixel

In one of the more heartfelt commercials of the year, Google Pixel follows a blind man named Javier as he uses “Guided Frame” mode on the Pixel 8 to capture significant moments throughout his life. When you hear the beeping of the heart monitor, just make sure there’s a Kleenex nearby.

Bud Light

Everyone’s wildest dream instantly comes true in this Bud Light commercial, which appears to pitch the product as some type of magic genie. Did Post Malone really wish for a T-Rex? It seems like the wishes in this one could’ve been better.

Dove

Dove uses this 30-second spot to champion its Body Confident Sport program, which aims to make the world of sports a stronger place of belonging for young girls. As it notes in the ad, “45% of girls quit sports by age 14,” but it’s not due to the hard knocks.

Booking.com

There are only three alternate versions of Tina Fey in the Fey-verse, but they’re all amazing. Booking.com gets the message across in an incredibly efficient manner, employing other fan-favorites including Jane Krakowski (as Splurgey Tina) and Glenn Close (as Wild Tina). Who are you booking with?

BetMGM

Sorry, Tom Brady! In this BetMGM commercial, the G.O.A.T. has won too much and is therefore not allowed to keep winning. But good news for everyone else who isn’t Tom Brady — if you love sports betting, you’re in.
