Ozzy doesn’t want Colin Farrell playing him in a movie of his life - Sept 05
Ozzy Osbourne doesn’t like the idea of Colin Farrell playing him in a movie of his life - because he hasn’t got a clue who the actor is. When asked what he thought of rumours suggesting the Irish hell-raiser would play him, the rocker said: "Who the f*** is Colin Farrell?" Ozzy and wife Sharon have previously recommended ’Pirates of the Caribbean’ star Johnny Depp for the role.

Meanwhile, the former Black Sabbath frontman has revealed the best and worst rehab clinics in America. Ozzy, who has been in and out of rehab all his life, revealed to Playboy magazine: "Betty Ford is a good one. And a place called Promises, in Malibu, which is like a f***ing Hollywood camp resort for wealthy f***ing lunatics."

However, the star - whose son, Jack, and daughter, Kelly, have also spent time in rehab - wasn’t so impressed with the Hazelden centre in Minnesota. He explained: "It’s a really hard one. They do not f*** around. I checked out because it scared me. "They use a thing called tough love, where they’re like ’You f***ing piece of s***!’ I was like, ’I felt like a piece of s*** before. That’s why I am paying you all this money. You don’t need to tell me every day.’"

Ozzy the softie? - Aug 05
Let’s face it: "Brum’s favourite son" Ozzie Osbourne has been softened up. His swearing, once shocking, is now funny. His children, once funny, are now boring. His wife appeals to mum’s everywhere in adverts for ASDA. It’s worth reminding ourselves, then, as to what Ozzie said the day after he put a would-be burglar in a headlock: "I thought for a mad split second, ’I could snap your neck like a straw and let you fall and say it was an accident" No bum slapping there then.

Ossy’s new TV show - Aug 05
Ozzy Osbourne is set to tell all about his wild exploits on a new TV show. The outrageous singer’s foul language and shocking tales of his wild rock days mean the ’This Is Your Life’ style show will be broadcast late at night.

The Black Sabbath frontman’s wife Sharon will reveal how she rescued from years of drug and alcohol addictions, then made him a superstar with the family’s successful TV show, ’The Osbournes’. His children Jack and Kelly are also set to talks about life with their notorious dad - who famously bit the head off a bat during a live performance. Celebrity friends including Sir Elton John, ’Pop Idol’ star Simon Cowell, and Billy Connolly will talk about the reality TV star’s life.

The programme will also look at the star’s quad-biking accident, which left him in intensive care in 2003. An insider said: "Ozzy’s had one of the most outrageous lives in showbusiness.". The currently untitled tribute show will air on British TV later this year.
