The President was so taken by the Black Sabbath’s star documentary recently screened series At Home with the Osbournes, he decided to invite the man himself to dinner.

Ozzy is reported to have said about the invitation: "I thought I’d be up on a wanted poster, not asked to tea."

Ironically, Ozzy even had a life ban from visiting Bush’s home state of Texas after he urinated on the Alamo monument while dressed as a woman.

Apparently the show has re-ignited the aging rockers career in the States.

Ozzy to be reality TV subject - 20/02/02
If crazy rock icon Ozzy Osbourne holds a fascination for you, then you’re in luck. You’ll be well acquainted with what it’s like on the inside of Osbourne’s family life with a new reality TV show for MTV.

He ain’t exactly a family man, but Ozzy will be filmed with his wife and manager Sharon and their teenage children Kelly and Jack in their Beverly Hills home.

Viewers will see Ozzy Osbourne giving his children advice on sex, drink and drugs, arguing with neighbours who keep him awake at night by playing folk music too loud and having to seek advice from his son on how to use a new digital TV.

He has battled drink and drug addictions, been notorious for trashing cars and hotel rooms, and famously bit the head off a live dove in a meeting with record executives.
