FORGET GUNS, THE REAL REASON THE OSBOURNES ARE MOVING BACK HOME TO THE UK

We’ve been WAITING for the truth to come out about WHY the Osbournes are moving from LA back to the UK. At first, Ozzy claimed they were moving because California’s taxes were too high. After some coaching from Sharon, he decided the family was leaving because of “gun violence” in the USA. The TRUTH is, Sharon has been miffed since she was fired from The Talk after an investigation about her racist and homophobic language. Nobody would hire her. She LIKES being on TV a LOT, and made a deal with the BBC to film another Osbourne reality show back home in the UK – similar the successful show they had here in the early 2000’s. Ozzy is going along for the ride – filming of their moving preparations is already in the works. It might be hard on Ozzy, considering his health problems, but Sharon GOT what she wanted!

WHAT’S BAD ABOUT SHARON OSBOURNE LEAVING THE TALK

First of all, we don’t necessarily think Sharon Osbourne is a racist – that important word is tossed around much too freely these days. However we DO think Sharon was wrong to defend the obnoxious Piers Morgan. Sure he – and everyone else – has a right to their OPINION. But we don’t have to LIKE him calling Meghan Markle a liar, among other things. His personal vendetta against her should be kept personal. We also didn’t like Sharon BLAMING producers and showrunners for “blindsiding” her. She said what she said. For many years we have covered Ozzie and Sharon, and all sources indicated that she is basically NOT a nice person, and like Morgan, sometimes feeds her own ego by demeaning others. (We totally BELIEVE Holly Robinson Peete and Leah Remini’s comments about Sharon.) She has always also been quite vulgar in her language (remember all the bleeps on the Osbournes reality show?) We were surprised that she could tone herself DOWN sufficiently for The Talk. Now she’s leaving the show and we have two complaints: #1 -Is she really being paid TEN million dollars to leave? That sounds SO wrong!
#2- The Talk has been slipping alarmingly in the ratings for the past year, and might be canceled. If it IS canceled, we predict Sharon will brag that it’s because SHE left!

SHARON OSBOURNE GOT CAUGHT RED-HANDED

The New York Post wants to know if Sharon Osbourne is secretly ordering food from the Beverly Hills Hotel even though she’s leading a boycott against it on The Talk! Many celebrities and events have abandoned the hotel due to the Sultan of Brunei’s stance against homosexuality. (He owns the place.) Someone leaked to the Post that Sharon has been avoiding the hotel – but secretly ordering her favorite takeout food from the Fountain Coffee Room there! (She lives around the corner.) The hotel café confirmed that Sharon HAD placed several takeout orders. It’s not the first time Osbourne has been caught in a lie – her own brother claims she fabricated stories about her upbringing. And we all know Sharon is not one to deny herself ANYTHING. She claimed that staffers in her home MAY have ordered the food. Since when do housekeepers and gardeners order food from the Beverly Hills Hotel? REALLY, Sharon. We absolutely believe these charges.

JENNY MCCARTHY ISN’T ENDEARING HERSELF TO THE AUDIENCE ON “THE VIEW”

Barbara Walters has a lot to think about on “The View.” She wants to maintain her shrinking lead over competitor “The Talk” and hoped that adding Jenny McCarthy to the group would do the trick. In November, the show will go to Disneyland for a week of live broadcasting to boost ratings. But outspoken Jenny is not testing well – viewers are not particularly fond of her. Ironically, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, whom Jenny replaced, had a great month on Fox & Friends news – ratings are up 22%. Unless viewers warm up to Jenny, her days might be numbered.

THERE’S MORE TO JULIE CHEN THAN MEETS THE EYE

Julie Chen always seemed so ‘”reserved” on TV and not the least bit playful or impulsive. So we were surprised on “The Talk” when she discussed her own plastic surgery. (At least some of it.) Julie, 43, had surgery to enlarge her Asian eyes when she was 25. She had been told by bosses and an agent that it was essential for her to advance in her TV career, so she did it and wasn’t sorry. “It got me where I am today!” She went on to great success and even married the boss, CBS head, Les Moonves, so apparently it WAS the right decision.

SHARON OSBOURNE IS MORE OPINIONATED THAN SHE IS INFORMED

Overbearing Sharon Osbourne was incredibly outspoken on The Talk today and it reminded us about how sometimes the pushiest and loudest person in the room is the least knowledgeable. First she recklessly stirred up racial tensions by voicing a hasty opinion on the Trayvon Martin case, while lacking even a basic knowledge of the facts. After that she berated a mother who documented her obese 7 year old’s weight loss in a magazine article – declaring the mom “humiliated “ the unnamed child. Keep in mind, Sharon Osbourne is a woman who raised two overweight, undereducated children who were both in rehab multiple times before the age of 21. Her children have struggled with their weight all their adult lives. We wish Sharon would stop considering herself an expert on all subjects.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T TOUCH JUSTIN BIEBER WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION!

Every once in awhile Justin Bieber has a public moment where he reveals his idiosyncrasy. He freaks out when people touch him without his permission! When he appeared on The Talk, Holly Robinson Peete playfully tried to put a baseball cap with the show’s logo on his head. He jerked away and yelled “No, NO, DON’T TOUCH my hair!” She took the hat back and he started fussing, trying to rearrange his hair. It‘s not the first time Justin’s “don’t touch” rule was broken – when he was on an Australian TV show, he flipped out when a staffer touched him, trying to guide him to his performance area. Justin sputtered and cursed “Don’t EVER f—–g touch me again!”
