The Ozzy Osbourne biopic is one step closer to becoming a reality, as the script for the project in development at Sony Pictures is “done,” according to Jack Osbourne.

The late Black Sabbath frontman‘s son shared the film update in an interview with E! News Wednesday, where he shared how he hoped to give the fans a movie “they want.”

“You know, we’re doing the Ozzy movie with Sony. And, I’m always saying in the meetings, ‘We’ve got to give the fans what they want. We can’t make this artsy, kind of esoteric biopic,’” he said. “No, we’re not doing that—for many reasons—but it’s not what the fans want.”

He added: “Script [is] done. We’re currently going out to directors. Yeah, we are very – it’s gung-ho.”

When asked if he had someone in mind to play his legendary father, Osbourne confirmed that there is already a performer on their radar.

“We do. I’m not allowed to say,” he said. “But conversations have been had, and if it all works out, it’s going to be awesome.”

Regarding the Osbourne family’s controversial decision to turn the late Prince of Darkness into an AI avatar, the producer defended that “everything is going to have an AI fingerprint as some point.”

“Ultimately, it’s about preserving the digital fingerprint of my father,” he explained. “That’s the core essence of it. Yes, it could be utilized for other things. But, ultimately, it’s about getting ahead what is the inevitability.”

Osbourne’s update comes nearly five years after the rocker shared on X that Sony Pictures and Polygram Entertainment were developing a biopic chronicling his extraordinary life. Per the statement, the film would take a look at his career, as well as “the great love story between him and his wife, Sharon.”

“The film will be written by Academy Award nominee Lee Hall (‘Billy Elliot’),” the announcement added at the time.

The Osbourne patriarch died at the age of 76 in July 2025 following a heart attack. His passing followed a number of a health hurdles for the singer, including coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.

His family, including Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis, issued a joint following his death, writing, “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.”

Jelly Roll fired back at Fox News’ Jesse Watters after the conservative commentator suggested on air that the singer had “Trump Derangement Syndrome” caused by Ozempic use.

The Grammy winner, who is serving as the guest host for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” this week, weighed in on Watters’ commentary during his Wednesday night monologue, where he doubled down on his criticism of President Donald Trump amid pushback from the right.

“Well, speaking of cheese balls, let’s talk about Donald Trump,” Jelly Roll quipped during his comedic address. “The president is doubling down on his ridiculous trade war with Canada. And they’re saying this could lead to higher prices for several products, including whiskey, smartphones, but most alarmingly, toilet paper. It’s going to be a real World War Two-ply.”

He added: “But you have to admit, there is something poetic about it being so expensive to wipe our ass just because the president’s full of s–t.”

As Jelly Roll went on, he acknowledged that he’s been “poking fun at POTUS over the past few nights,” explaining he was simply “trying to fulfill my duties as a late night comedian.”

“And it’s gotten a lot of reactions from a lot of people on both sides of the aisle,” he said. “But today, I’m really starting to feel like my pal, Jimmy Kimmel, because my monologues caught the attention of the gang over at Fox News.”

The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” editors then teed up footage from Watters’ broadcast, where he celebrated “TDS Tuesday,” noting he was “raising awareness for one of the most infectious mind viruses sweeping the nation.”

“Trump Derangement Syndrome. Next up to bat, Jelly Roll,” Watters said in the footage. “They should put a warning label on Ozempic. Side effects can include increased risk of TDS. If you notice signs like irritability, depression and trouble sleeping, please see a doctor.”

In response to this segment, Jelly Roll told the studio audience that Ozempic was “the only drug I haven’t tried.”

“I know it sounds unbelievable, but I lost weight the old-fashioned way. Cocaine,” he said. “No, seriously. I got in shape before the GLP1 craze started. And I’m kind of proud of the fact that I did it through diet and exercise.”

Though, Jelly Roll admitted that his weight loss pre-GLP-1 did make him feel like “a dude who bought the last horse and buggy a day before they started selling cars.”

“By the way, I can’t believe out of all the jokes I’ve told the past few nights, the one that really seemed to make people mad … was when I said [Trump] was overweight,” he sounded off. “I thought fat-on-fat crime was okay. I mean, we can debate whether this president is mentally fit, but I think we can all agree he is certainly not physically fit.”

Jelly Roll then noted that he hoped to be an inspiration for Trump, adding, “If I can lose all that weight, he can too. And in fact, there is a new medication on the market designed specifically for him.”

The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” team then played a spoof ad for “Donjaro,” a parody weight loss drug just for the president. Watch Jelly Roll’s full monologue above.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC.

The cast of Broadway’s “Rocky Horror Show” paid tribute Wednesday evening to the musical’s original star, Tim Curry, following his death at 80.

Specifically, following the Wednesday night performance of the Tony-nominated musical, actor Paul Soileau, who currently plays Dr. Frank-N-Furter (the character made famous by Curry), was joined onstage by Luke Evans, who departed the role on Sunday, and Jake Shears, who is set to step into the fishnets in September.

Together, the trio of Frank-N-Furters performed a special rendition of “I’m Going Home,” which is the final song sung by the mad scientist in the show.

In the footage, Evans, who was nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical at the 2026 Tonys, can be seen leading the tribute performance while surrounded by the rest of the cast. Watch the video below.

Elsewhere in the tribute, Soileau took a moment to say a few words about Curry, praising him for the “beautiful” impact he had on the iconic role.

“Frank-N-Furter is a marvelous beast and Frank-N-Furter inhabits spaces and sneaks in spaces and places and old theater houses, like this, movie theaters, teenagers’ bedrooms,” he said. “The way Frank-N-Furter survives is that he finds vessels and he goes into them and takes over and he keeps moving and moving and moving all around.”

He added: “And many people in this room on this stage have been a vessel for Frank-N-Furter, and over the years. But if you trace it all back, 53 years ago, there’s one home and one vessel, one mothership, that Frank-N-Furter could actually call home and it’s Tim Curry. It’s truly beautiful.”

While Soileau credited the show’s creator Richard O’Brien for the invention of Frank-N-Furter, Soileau acknowledged that Curry took the ingredients he was given “and he created this beast that everyone found something within it, and could see a piece of themselves inside of it.”

“Tim Curry created Frank-N-Furter to express and find something deeper about himself,” he continued. “And somehow it resonated for this long with this many people in this room here right now.”

Curry, a legendary actor known for iconic roles in classics such as “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “Annie,” “Clue” and “It,” died Tuesday night at his home in the Toluca Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, 14 years after he suffered a paralyzing stroke.

As word broke of his death on Wednesday morning, many of his famous friends and fans took to social media to pay tribute to him, including “Rocky Horror” co-star Susan Sarandon, who wrote, “What a funny, sexy, original he was.”

“But what I loved about him most was his heart,” she added. “Even wheelchair bound he continued to be so sweet and generous with his fans. Thank you Tim for meaning so much to so many people.”
