Ebay entrance - Mar 05
Ozzy Osbourne’s front door could go up for sale on Ebay. The owner of Ozzy’s childhood home in Aston is so sick of Black Sabbath fans making pilgrimages to his home and leaving graffiti on his front door that he wants to replace the door and give away the small piece of rock and roll history. Ali Mubarret says that he will either put the door on ebay and give the proceeds to charity or give it away to a hardcore Ozzy fan.

The house, where most of the family’s eponymous reality show was filmed will be available to the highest bidder - someone who, presumably, won’t mind noisy neighbours, fleas and dog poop. Sharon and Ozzy decided to move somewhere smaller now that Kelly and Jack, their youngest children, have moved out.

Ozzy and Sharon were asleep in their Buckinghamshire mansion early on Monday morning when they heard movements downstairs - and it wasn’t the dogs having a late night scrap.

Sharon’s got X-factor - May 04
Simon Cowell apparently wants to replace Mel B with Sharon Osbourne in his new show.

X-Factor is a new take on the Pop Idol phenomenon and although Cowell originally asked Mel B to be a judge on the talent show, he has since expressed fears that she may use it as a platform to relaunch her pop career (we’re hearing you on that one Simon). The pop mogul has decided instead to approach Sharon Osbourne, who we expect will even manage to make him look like a pussy cat.

Biography

Born Sharon Rachel Levy to media mogul Don Arden and his wife Hope, Sharon first met husband to be Ozzy Osbourne at the age of seventeen, whilst working as a receptionist for her father.  When Ozzy was fired from his band, Black Sabbath, in 1979 Sharon leapt at the chance to represent him as a solo artist.  It was Sharon who coordinated a comeback for Ozzy, eventually making him one of the world’s premier metal acts.

Sharon also worked her magic on acts such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Coal Chamber and Motorhead, there are also rumours that she briefly worked with Queen but was sacked by Freddie Mercury.

During their long hours together Sharon and Ozzy fell in love and, in 1982, they were married in Hawaii.  However, it hasn’t all been romance for Sharon, she has stuck by her husband through his drink and drugs problems, which came to a head when her husband tried to strangle her.  Despite everything Sharon has stood by her man and turned her family into a hugely successful media product.

In 2002 The Osbournes aired on MTV.  The show followed the lives of Sharon, Ozzy, son Jack and daughter Kelly as well as their legion of pets as they went through day to day life in California.  An immediate hit The Osbournes immediately launched the family in to the limelight like never before and when Sharon was diagnosed with cancer during the making of the series she insisted filming continue. 

Despite the bad luck that came with the series - both Jack and Kelly developed problems with drink and drugs during that time - there has been a silver lining for Sharon.  Ok, so her self titled talk show wasn’t the hugest success in the US but her role as judge on The X Factor has launched Sharon to a whole new audience while the UK version of her talk show garnered a respectable amount of viewers.

Elsewhere Sharon has set up top rock festival Ozzfest and published her autobiography, Extreme, which sensationally revealed the levels of plastic surgery she has undergone, including lap-band surgery (which reduces the size of the stomach) and detailed her ongoing battle with bulimia.  However, it is her outspoken ways which have seen Sharon hit the headlines time and time again, from hitting out at Chris Tarrant to a fued with Iron Maiden, via bitchy comments to Rebecca Loos and a neverending argument with fellow X Factor judges Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh.
