The Osbournes Returning to Reality TV with New Series Home to Roost
The Osbournes are making a return to reality TV with a new docu-series titled Home to Roost. The UK program will chronicle Ozzy and Sharon’s move from Los Angeles back to England, as well as other aspects of their lives. Home to Roost is set to air in 2023 on BBC One and its VOD service iPlayer as a 10-part series of 30-minute episodes.

Nick Cave Pens Letter About Grief and His Favorite Contestant on Love Island
Nick Cave has opened up on his personal website about his surprise connection to a contestant on Love Island and how the young man’s parents helped him and his family grieve the 2015 death of his son, Arthur. The story was the result of two fairly innocuous inquires from a pair of fans named Maisie and Sharon, who wrote in to The Red Hand Files to ask A) who he wanted to win the current season of the British dating show and B) what the main difference is between him and his wife, Susie Bick. “At the moment, the defining difference between Susie and me is that she watches Love Island, and I don’t,” Cave began. “Susie watches Love Island because we know one of the contestants, Luca. Luca was a school friend of our twins, Arthur and Earl. As a consequence, Susie and I became friends with...
I Shopped on eBay For “Love Island” Clothes – and This Is What I Found
“Love Island” will be back on our screens on June 6 as a new batch of singletons get ready for eight weeks of romance, recoupling, and red hot drama. While finding their ‘type on paper’ might be at the heart of the show, it’s known for serving some fierce fashion, too. This year, in a surprising twist, the show has dumped fast-fashion partnerships, like previous sponsors I Saw It First and Missguided, in order to couple up with the more eco-friendly option, eBay. For “Love Island” 2022, celebrity stylist Amy Bannerman has instead created tailored styling boxes for each Islander as well as a shared wardrobe of preloved clothes for them to wear throughout the show. Designer labels including Moschino, Saint Laurent, and Prada have been sent to the Maj...
