Ozzy Osbourne’s Book Is A Best-Seller

Ozzy Osbourne’s autobiography has landed on the New York Times bestseller list. His book, “I Am Ozzy”, which chronicles the shock rocker’s rise to international fame, has hit the number two spot on the “hardcover nonfiction” list.

Ozzy has hopes to turn his book into a major motion picture. He told reporters, “To have a movie made of my book – maybe with Johnny Depp playing me – I’d like that.”

Ddi you guys buy the book? I wonder how much of it he actually wrote himself.

New Album Coming Soon From Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne has announced that he’s releasing a new album next year.

The new album will be called Soul Sucka and is expected to be released in June.

Susan Boyle To Perform On “Dancing With The Stars”

Sharon Osbourne recently made headlines for slamming Susan Boyle’s looks during an appearance on Sirius Radio and a showdown between the women could come as early as next week.

Late Friday evening, ABC confirmed that Susan will perform on next week’s Dancing With the Stars. Susan will likely perform material from her upcoming CD, I Dreamed A Dream, due out Nov. 24. Ironically, DWTS is the same ABC hit where Sharon’s daughter, Kelly Osbourne, is a contestant.

Sharon has been known to pop up periodically throughout the season to support Kelly. In interview on “The Opie & Anthony Show” earlier this week, Sharon slammed Susan’s looks as she talked about seeing a picture of the Britain’s Got Talent star next to her rock ‘n’ roll husband, Ozzy Osbourne.

“There’s this great picture of Susan Boyle, smiling, looking like a slapped ass next to Ozzy,” Sharon said bursting into laughter.

Ozzy Regrets Filming MTV’s “The Osbournes”

Ozzy Osbourne regrets participating in his hit reality TV series The Osbournes because he struggled to cope with the ensuing media attention cast upon the clan.

The rocker has sold more than 100 million albums with metal group Black Sabbath, but he insists his profile skyrocketed to new levels after the debut of his MTV show, which documented the domestic lives of his immediate family and ran from 2002 to 2005. And he grew uncomfortable with his increased fame, branding the TV deal an “experiment that went wildly out of control.”

He explains, “It was as if I went to bed in one world and woke up in a completely different world. We went down to this market in Beverly Hills where you can just walk around artwork and statues and dolls and all this stuff and I got this really creepy feeling. I look around. People aren’t looking, but I could feel eyes on me. I thought I was getting paranoid or something.”

And the 60 year old insists he’ll never repeat the experience – although his wife, Sharon, continues to find TV work on show America’s Got Talent.

He adds, “I don’t really want to do TV. I don’t like doing TV much. Sharon loves it.”

He may regret filming the show, but I don’t regret watching it! That show was so entertaining!

Ozzy Osbourne Gets His Driver’s License!

Ozzy Osbourne has passed his driving test. The former Black Sabbath rocker took to his Twitter.com account to tell fans the happy news on Thursday night.

He tweeted, “I just passed my driving test. Took me 60 years, but I did it! For the first time in my life, I’m legal to drive, so watch out!”

All I have to say is, STAY OFF THE ROAD PEOPLE!

Ozzy Osbourne to receive legend award

Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne will be honoured with the Legend of Live award at this year’s Billboard Touring Awards in the US.

Other artists that received this award include the Allman Brothers Band, Frank Barsalona, and Sir Elton John. He will collect the award on November 5th in New York.

“Ozzy has altered the course of rock music and live performance through his work with Black Sabbath and as a hugely popular solo artist,” said Billboard’s Ray Waddell.

Ozzy Osbourne has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, is being recognised for his “significant and lasting contributions to live music”.

Kelly Osbourne Disses Lilly Allen

Kelly Osbourne can add Lily Allen to her growing list of verbal dissees. After reportedly slamming down Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson in recent weeks, she performed a class-A “backdoor brag” at the GQ awards at Lily’s expense. Asked about starting her own fashion line, Kelly referenced Lily’s 2007 range for Brit fashion store New Look as how not to do it.

“I don’t think I’m ready to bring out a range of clothes yet at my age. I know Lily Allen has done it but I want to do it all by myself and not just attach my name to it. That’s not fashion to me. I could do that now if I wanted to. If I were to produce a range I wouldn’t even call it my name,” she told the Evening Standard. Nice. We get the message loud and clear.

It’s crazy, no matter how much weight Kelly loses, she still has such a puffy face. Almost squirrel like, just sayin.

HE SAID WHAT?! – OZZY OSBOURNE
