Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne

5:57AM Seth | 2/15 - Saw SHARON & OZZY OSBOURNE in the lounge at the Chateau Marmont. They both looked terrific, dressed in black of course, and dined with some other rocker types. My friends in town from Minneapolis were impressed, but were hoping for a LiLo sighting.

Does Sharon Osbourne Still Have ‘Issues’ With Dannii Minogue?

4:29PM Jess McGuire | If you’ve been wondering whether some time apart from her old co-worker Dannii Minogue has given former judge of Britain’s The X Factor Sharon Osbourne a chance to calm down and move on from her well documented battles with the pop singer, I am sad to inform you that Mrs Osbourne still loathes Dannii with scorching intensity. Before we get to Sharon’s sullying of Dannii’s pristine (well, if you don’t count the faux-lesbian dalliance with Jupiter the Stripper) reputation, let us first address the subtle slap in the face Sharon administered to the younger Minogue via the press. She’s been bigging up Dannii’s latest rival (and Sharon’s replacement on The X Factor) Cheryl Cole! Sharon Osbourne reckons Cheryl Cole was great on The X Factor. The Girls Aloud star, 25, joined the ITV show after Sharon quit last year. ‘She’s perfect,’ says Sharon. ‘A fabulous young girl. The thing is, there’s not one bloody thing wrong with her, which p*sses me off. ‘You can’t possibly find anything bad to say about her. She’s doing brilliantly as I always knew she would.’ And if you read between the lines, you can just make out the words “Dannii is a talentless whore”. Now let’s get a little dirty as we watch a bitter Sharon Osbourne flinging some mud in the hope it sticks. More »

2:44AM STV | Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 10/21 — So I’m at the lab next to the CitiBank in Burbank, minding my own business, and I look out the window at the parking lot, and there’s this guy who looks like Ozzy Osbourne getting into an Audi station wagon, and I’m saying to myself, you know, that guy looks like Ozzy, but he’s moving kinda well, no shaking. And then I see Sharon Osbourne getting into the back. And there was Kelly Osbourne in a Mercedes behind them. No carpooling in this family, evidently. Sorry, but that was cool. See? Post-production has its rewards. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.] More »

WGA Issues Fatwa Against Cheapskate Producers of ‘Osbournes’ Variety Show

8:49AM Seth | On the heels of the Tyler Perry’s House of Payne labour controversy—in which WGA heads Patric Verrone and Michael Winship filed an angry grievance with the National Labour Relations Board, demanding restitution for “an abused writing staff forced to churn out sitcom dialogue with a pistol pressed to their temples by the world’s wealthiest, union-busting grandma-with-a-dick,”—comes yet another fiery piece of rhetoric from the militant duo. This time, they target Fox’s planned Osbourne family variety show, for which producer FremantleMedia is hoping they can get their snappy repartee wholesale. An excerpt from their letter: More »

‘America’s Got Talent’ Impersonator Fools Even World’s Foremost Ozzyologist, Sharon Osbourne

7:45AM Seth | Whether gathering the family ’round to marvel at the sheer Coors-can-devastating force of Busty Heart’s exercise-ball-sized melons, or simply gasping in amazement as octuple-jointed youngster Victoria braids her limbs into a human challah bread, you never quite know what form America’s talent will take on America’s Got Talent. On last night’s show, for example, we were treated to that Las Vegas showroom mainstay—the celebrity impersonator—effecting the guise of addled Godfather of Metal, Ozzy Osbourne. So chillingly spot-on was the performance that Ozzy’s own wife, Talent judge Sharon Osbourne, admitted not even she could tell the impostor from her own husband. She then insisted he drop his pants and proceeded to examine the contestant thoroughly; satisfied he bore none of Ozzy’s distinguishing cigarette burns or The Catheter Bag of Darkness, she was happy to move the doppelganger onto the next round of competition.

Dannii And Sharon Osbourne’s Bitch Fight Set To Upstage Grand Prix, Kiss

1:50PM Clem Bastow | Remember Dannii Minogue and Sharon Osbourne’s mighty X Factor cat fight? Well, just when you thought it was all over, the two showbiz dames are likely to cross paths at the upcoming Melbourne Grand Prix, as both ladies are likely to have RSVPed for the various celeb-soaked functions that surround the motor race. Ozzy will be in town to play Rod Laver Arena that weekend, and Sharon is accompanying him (presumably so she can remind him he is playing a concert, and not going for a prostate examination). Formula 1 drivers will rub shoulders with celebs including Rachel Griffiths, Miranda Otto, Fifi Box and Dannii Minogue at the high-rise party. But the real fireworks are expected when Minogue and Sharon Osbourne run into each other at the champagne bar. As co-judges on the Brit version of talent quest X Factor, there was no love lost between the two, with Osbourne attacking Minogue on air. We can’t wait, cat fight, the hair, the hair etc, but did anyone else notice something odd about that excerpt? “Celebs including … Fifi Box“. Yes, that Fifi Box. Celeb is probably pushing it a little, wouldn’t you say? More »

Sharon Osbourne Sez Dannii Only Employed For Her Looks; Sharon Is Employed For … ??

11:10AM Clem Bastow | Renowned loudmouth Sharon Osbourne (originator of our favourite quote of 2007: “I hope he gets syphilis and dies; I hope his dick falls off so his mother can eat it”) has laid the smackdown on fellow X Factor host Dannii Minogue, saying the Kylie understudy is only on the show because of her looks. Dannii has been remarkably civilised through all this, but we reckon it’s time for her to bite back by saying she wrote Put The Needle On It about Sharon’s forehead. ZING! “She [Dannii] knows she’s there because of her looks, not because of her contribution to the music industry,” she said. “She’s younger, she’s better-looking, Simon wants her and he doesn’t want me – thank God.” Well, Sharon, we’re inclined to think that you shouldn’t be concerned about the affections of Simon, seeing as YOU’RE MARRIED. Anyway, we think these two showbiz dames should settle this all with a nice big bowl of strawberry ice cream – by wrestling in it. Now that’s what the people of Britain want to see! More »
