Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian are feeling the love this Halloween weekend as their youngest son, Rocky Thirteen, turned two.
The Blink-182 drummer marked his son’s birthday on Saturday (Nov. 1) with a heartfelt Instagram tribute, posting a photo of Rocky wearing a backwards cap and a black jersey with the number “13” on it. “Happy Birthday my Rocky 13 🖤. You’re such a special soul, and you make every day brighter. I love you,” Barker wrote.
“No one’s cooler. Guitars, drums, pirates, boom boom pow and Angus Young forever 🎸🥁🏴☠️🥊,” he added in the post, which received thousands of likes and birthday messages — including a comment from Khloé Kardashian: “Happy birthday to the cutest!!!!! Rocky!!!!!!! 🩵🩵🩵.”

Rocky was born in November 2023, marking the first child together for Kardashian and Barker, who tied the knot in 2022. The couple introduced their son publicly in December of that year with a joint Instagram post simply captioned, “ROCKY 🖤.”
Last year, Rocky also received an unforgettable gift: a handwritten birthday letter from Rocky star Sylvester Stallone himself.
“One of the most special Birthday gifts,” Travis wrote on Instagram Stories on Nov. 4, 2024, alongside a photo of the message on Stallone’s personal stationery. The note, arranged by Kris Jenner, read, “Dear Rocky, My name is Rocky too. Your name is very special and is identified with wonderful things.” Stallone continued with words of encouragement for the then-one-year-old:
“Life has many challenges you will face. Show dedication and determination! You must never give up on your dreams, never! Now most importantly, you must always value family, friendship and loyalty over fame and fortune!”
While Barker has often referenced Rocky in interviews and social media — including designing toddler-sized sneakers for him — the couple has remained relatively private about their youngest child’s presence online.
Kardashian has previously faced criticism for choosing not to show Rocky’s face on social media, even using Halloween-themed emojis to cover his face in photos. Although she didn’t respond directly to commenters questioning the move, she liked a reply that read, “This is a sign you care btw.”
Together, Kardashian and Barker have a blended family of seven children. The Kardashians star shares Mason (15), Penelope (13), and Reign (10) with ex Scott Disick. Barker is also dad to Landon (22) and Alabama (19), and stepfather to Atiana De La Hoya (26) from his previous marriage to Shanna Moakler.

Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy echoed through Halloween this year thanks to a viral video of his grandson reenacting one of the most notorious moments in rock history.
In a TikTok shared on Oct. 31 by Osbourne’s daughter Kelly, her two-year-old son Sidney is seen wearing a skeleton outfit and red cowboy boots, gleefully biting the head off a stuffed bat. “Learned from the greatest, Papa!” Kelly captioned the clip, which plays over Osbourne’s 1980 hit “Crazy Train.”

The moment nods directly to Ozzy’s infamous 1982 concert in Des Moines, Iowa, where he bit the head off what turned out to be a real bat onstage — a career-defining stunt that’s followed him for decades.
The metal icon, who died in July at age 76, spoke openly about the incident in later years. “I’ve achieved quite a lot in my life, but all people do is go, ‘Ozzy, what do bats really taste like?’” he told People in a 2022 interview. “But I’ll tell you what, when they gave me the rabies shot, I wasn’t smiling.”
Osbourne maintained a close relationship with Sidney up until his death. Earlier this year, Kelly shared that her son’s favorite time of day was “cartoon time” in bed with Ozzy and Sharon. “I have to literally rip him out,” she said at the time.
Last month, Sharon opened up via social media, revealing she is “still having trouble finding the words” after Ozzy’s death earlier this summer.
“I’m still having trouble finding the words to express how grateful I am for the overwhelming love and support you’ve shown on social media,” the British TV personality wrote alongside an Instagram video featuring herself and daughter Kelly at a falconry in England.
“Your comments, posts, and tributes have brought me more comfort than you know,” she continued. “None of it has gone unnoticed, in fact, it’s carried me through many nights. Though I’m still finding my footing, I wanted to share some glorious creatures I had the chance to spend an afternoon with.”

What happens when two Oscar-winning Wednesday stars join forces? They come up with a hilarious ASMR video perfectly timed to Spooky Season.
On Halloween (Oct. 31), Netflix took to X to share a silly ASMR video clip featuring Lady Gaga and Catherine Zeta-Jones trying their hand at the viral content style. Set in a Wednesday-esque room, complete with moody lighting and adorned with props including dead roses, a gold candelabra, a black violin and faux poison, Gaga and Zeta-Jones sit behind a table and whisper into a microphone, aiming to help viewers relax.
“I think because this is Wednesday, we should say dark words like ‘death,’ ‘coffin,’ ‘cemetery,’” Gaga said while rubbing dead rose petals into the microphone, before Zeta-Jones added “Pugsley,” referring to Wednesday’s brother in the series.
While Gaga earned her Academy Award for best original song for “Shallow” from A Star Is Born, Zeta-Jones earned her statuette for best supporting actress thanks to her work in 2002’s Chicago. The “Abracadabra” singer referenced the latter film in the ASMR clip, joking, “Snap! Pop!” after plucking a petal off the rose. Once Zeta-Jones joined in with “Six,” the two stars finished the iconic opening lines of “Cell Block Tango,” a standout number from the six-time Oscar-winning film.
Outside of their Oscars and affinity for musicals, Gaga and Zeta-Jones also bonded over their same-named husbands in the Halloween ASMR clip. After mentioning that her fiancé (and Mayhem co-writer) Michael Polansky was from Minnesota, Zeta-Jones responded, “My Michael’s from Hollywood,” speaking of her husband Michael Douglas. “Your Michael is so sexy,” Gaga quipped, with Zeta-Jones replying, “I’d love to meet your Michael; I’m sure he’s just as sexy as my Michael.” Always one to laud a fellow powerful woman, Gaga said, “He would love to meet you. He may never come back!”
The duo’s Halloween ASMR clip arrives the month after the conclusion of Wednesday season 2. After scoring a surprise viral hit with “Bloody Mary” thanks to the Netflix series’ first season, Gaga appeared in the second season as Rosaline Rotwood, which gave way to “The Dead Dance,” he most recent Billboard Hot 100 entry (No. 40). As Zeta-Jones is prepping upcoming films like Cathy Yan’s The Gallerist, in which she’s set to star alongside Charli xcx and Jenna Ortega, Gaga is wrapping up the European leg of her Mayhem Ball Tour.

The costumes come with a top and bottom, and are made of soft milk silk, a breathable fabric that doesn’t irritate the skin. Purple hair and space buns are not included. Footwear is not included with the costumes, which means you’ll just have to get creative.
Netflix’s animated film dropped back in June, focusing on the popular phenom that is K-pop. The film follows fictional world-renowned K-pop girl group HUNTR/X, which consists of members Rumi, Mira and Zoey. The group sings and performs, while secretly slaying demons when not on stage. The movie has since spawned everything from coloring books to Funko figures that have sold like hotcakes. The animation is vibrant, while the dialogue and accompanying songs are both funny and touching.

Spooky season is fully upon us, and most of us will be searching for both tricks and treats. For cannabis enthusiasts, we’ve compiled a quick Halloween gift guide that we believe covers a wide range of options.One thing I’m always clear about when I do these guides is to remind readers that many forms of cannabis, especially recreational, are meant for those at least 21 years of age and older. Anything we suggest on this page, please obey the laws in your state when or if you purchase.Naturally, the idea would be that cannabis-infused edible treats would dominate this guide, but given the trend of going “California Sober” and drinking less alcohol, there are several beverage brands on the market that I thought to inform our readers about.In this roundup, you’ll see some past brands I’ve highlighted in the past, along with some new entries that I hope pique your interest. As always, use these products responsibly and enjoy them safely at home. Halloween is spooky enough; we want everyone to enjoy lifting their spirits on their terms without putting themselves in harm’s way.Have a happy Halloween weekend.

Halloween is nearly upon us, but Duran Duran got there first with a shadowy re-recording.
Ahead of their winter North American tour dates, the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame-inducted band swings into Fright Night with a re-imagined version of “Shadows on Your Side,” featuring original guitar parts from Andy Taylor.
The original, a punchy, polished cut from Duran Duran’s third studio album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger, is overhauled as a club-ready tune with several unexpected changes in pace.

Seven and the Ragged Tiger was released in 1983, and yielded the global hits “New Moon on Monday,” “Union of the Snake” and “The Reflex,” which gave Duran Duran the first of two No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100 and Official U.K. Singles Chart.
Seven And The Ragged Tiger is the only Duran Duran collection to lead the Official U.K. Albums Chart, and it proved to be the band’s final effort with its classic “Fab Five” lineup of Taylor/Taylor/Taylor/Rhodes/Le Bon, until Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor (the Taylors are unrelated) returned to the fold two decades later, for 2004’s Astronaut. Andy Taylor, who is battling stage 4 prostate cancer, has since departed from the band but has contributed to recent recordings.
Simon Le Bon and Co. will return to the United States for a run of dates in December 2025 and January 2026. As previously reported, the new wave legends have been in the studio together this year working on new material, including stints with longtime producer Nile Rodgers at Abbey Road in London.
The band has been on a Halloween kick since the 2023 release of Danse Macabre (via Tape Modern/BMG), a concept album gathering new compositions, reworked songs, and covers of songs by Billie Eilish, Talking Heads, The Rolling Stones, Siouxsie And The Banshees and more.
Danse Macabre peaked at No. 4 in the U.K. and spawned the Secret Oktober concert film, shot at the Encore Theatre at Wynn in Las Vegas. The Gavin Elder-directed flick is streaming on demand at StagePlayer+ until Nov. 3.
Earlier this year, the group struck a different type of collaboration by teaming up with Italian luxury perfume house Xerjoff on two unisex perfumes, NeoRio and Black Moonlight. The scents were, of course, created with Le Bon and keyboardist Nick Rhodes, along with bassist John Taylor and drummer Roger Taylor.
