Ozzy Osbourne has decided to take driving lessons at the age of 60. Good on you Ozzy! It is good that Ozzy is learning to drive and he goes to show that you are never too old to learn to drive. The reason Ozzy gives for learning to drive at his age is so that he can get out of the house when he needs some peace and quiet. This is very understandable I mean apart from the extrovert we have seen that stands on the stage and sings his heart out for his fans, it is obvious that Ozzy is a bit of an introvert. Ozzy not only enjoys spending time with others, but he likes his own company and spending time on his own.

Jack Osbourne has come a long way since those days of his youth. He has found a purpose in life that fulfills a need in him to live life on the edge. Not only does he like doing extreme sports, but he is also serious about Muay Thai. Whilst practising Muay Thai Jack lost a lot of weight and also trained at Fairtex Bangplee. Jack Osbourne is training for more than 6 weeks in Fairtex Bangplee and has also won a Muay Thai fight. Jack Osbourne is a man of many talents and he has used his strength and determination in very positive ways. Life has not always been great for Jack but, he has proved he is a fighter in more ways than one.

Kelly Osbourne is engaged to Luke Worell, but speaking to People on her way home from rehab she told them that she won’t be getting married for quite some time. I think Kelly is being very sensible by extending her engagement to Luke Worrell. A lot of people just rush into things without really giving them much thought. When we look at the news there is usually something about a celebrity marriage breakdown.

Kelly Osbourne said, “I think the last thing I should be doing right now is planning a wedding,” she says. “I’d become one of those cracked-out housewives with a vacuum cleaner, hopped up on Dexedrine.”

I think Kelly Osbourne is great and has come a long way. It is good to hear that she won’t be rushing into anything. Apparently when Luke Worrell asked Ozzy for permission for his hand in marriage Ozzy told him, “As long as you don’t take my baby from me in the next five years.”

“It’s not right for either of them to go into domestic bliss right now,” she says. “I was 29 when I got married [to Ozzy], and it worked. I’d waited until I’d done all the crazy things I wanted to do.”

As a mother I agree with Sharon and Ozzy, obviously they want their best for all of their children. When you are younger there is still so much of life to live and if you rush into marriage then it can spoil your life. Kelly and Luke seem so much in love and I hope they have a happy, long life together.

The Osbournes: Reloaded will air for one night on Tuesday after American Idol on the Fox network. It will then not be shown till fall when it will return with a minimum of five brand new shows. At this time it will then be decided if it will air as a full blown television series depending on the popularity of the show with the general public and the ratings generated.

Unfortunately this one off television appearance of the show on Tuesday will only be aired for American citizens. The show has been advertised as a part variety show, part sketch-comedy hour, part hidden-camera program and part game-show competition. Anyone who is used to watching The Osbourne’s television series will know what this family is like together. They are funny, outrageous, sometimes offensive and always truthful. The Osbourne’s work best as a team and this show promises to be extremely entertaining.

Sharon Osbourne has admitted to reporters in Los Angeles earlier this year.”I am such a TV whore, I would go on any show.”

“I’m glad you finally admitted that,” Ozzy Osbourne said, without missing a beat.

Hand on heart, Ozzy was asked, ‘Who wrote your scripts?’ and he said, ‘God.’ That’s what it was. That’s why ours was the best. You had a family that had four definite personalities. But our family is really close-knit, and I think that came across in the show. That’s what people were drawn to. They knew we were a real family. The good, the bad, the ugly — you saw it all.”

I agree with Ozzy when you watch The Osbourne televsiion show you can see how close the family is. The family might not have had the normal type of family life compared with some families. Always on the road doing tours of the Country for many years they lived on the back of a tour bus. However no matter what they have stook together through the bad and through the good. The family work as a team best of all and their qualities as a loving family shine through every time. I think that God has always looked after this family. When you consider what The Osbourne’s have been through and the way they have come through where other families might have not.

Sharon Osbourne was asked a question on Thursday that sparked her fury and I don’t blame her. Whilst Sharon Osbourne was conducting a telephone conference she was asked a down right stupid question, Sharon was asked if her past would prove controversial in their new roles on the “Osbournes Reloaded” show, Sharon said it was “most ridiculous question I have ever been asked in my entire career.”

“I am really angry. Do you know how many people in this country alone suffer from addiction?

In 2001 nearly thirty percent of kids between the ages of twelve and seventeen reported

using drugs.

That same year over half of respondents between the ages of eighteen and twenty five reported recent drug use.

In a study done by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the following drug statistics were discovered:

In 2004 More than nineteen million Americans over the age of twelve were currently using drugs-including harder and illicit drugs.

There were more than sixteen million adult Americans (over the age of eighteen) using illicit drugs.

In 2004, nearly twenty three million Americans had dependency problems with drugs. About an eighth of these abused alcohol and drugs and half of the total number of users abused alcohol but did not have abuse problems with illicit drugs.

Finally, consider the following statistics from the 2007 National Survey on Drug Use and Health done by the Office of Applied Studies at the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

In 2007 nearly twenty percent of adults over eighteen that were polled confessed to abusing illicit drugs within a month of the poll taking place. Marijuana was the second highest drug used in this poll and came in at just over sixteen percent of users polled.

This same survey found that males were more likely to abuse illicit drugs and marijuana while all other drugs were about even with both genders.

Sharon Osbourne has a right to feel angry I mean as a family The Osbourne’s have been through some real crap and yet come out the other side.

Jack Osbourne has admitted that he became suicidal after he found out that his mother, Sharon Osbourne was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 2002.

Jack Osbourne was interviewed by In Touch Weekly magazine where he told them that he became so depressed after finding out his mother had cancer that he took an overdose of prescription tablets, including OxyContin and Valium.

OxyContin is a is a time-released pain medication. It was developed in 1995 for people who needed 24/7 pain relief so that they didn’t need to take as many tablets. OxyContin also contains oxycodone, which is an opioid drug, like morphine, codeine, heroin and methadone. Taking an overdose on this drug alone can be fatal.

Valium is a sedative and is used for anxiety problems as well as for pain relief in certain circumstances. It has a sedative and hypnotic effect.

Jack said, “I started getting suicidal. I was just doing loads of drugs and drinking. I was miserable.”

Jack - who started going down the wrong path when he was just 13 - hit rock bottom on Easter in 2003.

He adds, “I disappeared for the long weekend. When I came back, I knew I needed help. I was like, ‘Okay, I will do this’.”

“My dad said, ‘If you go to treatment, I’ll go to treatment as well’.”

I think Jack Osbourne has come a long way and is an inspiration to everyone that struggles with addiction and depression. Jack Osbourne shows that you can come out the other side.

Aimee Osbourne has always wanted to launch a singing career. When Aimee was 22 years old she refused to appear on “The Osbourne’s” because she valued her privacy and didn’t want to be in the limelight. I can understand why Aimee chose not to appear in “The Osbourne’s” I think it was partly to do with her age and also the fact that she was quite shy.

Although Aimee chose not to appear on “The Osbourne’s” her singing voice is worthy of taking notice of. Ozzy Osbourne has said that Aimee is a star in the making. Ozzy said, “She’s kind of shy but she’s got a fabulous singing voice.” I would love to see Aimee Osbourne release an album, I often wonder if she will ever release one because unless I’ve missed something then I don’t think she has until this point.

Aimee Osbourne writes all of her own material and is an extremely talented soul singer. I’d love to hear her sing and I think that if her heart is in it she should run after her dreams. Dreams are for living and I don’t think anyone would judge her just because her parents are famous.

Ozzy was probably most successful in his solo career selling more than 35 million records worldwide compared with 25 million records when he was in Black Sabbath. Aimee Osbourne might not want to be recognised for her parents fame, but she has an absolutely amazing tutor and role model. I don’t think Aimee Osbourne needs to be worried about people judging her I think she should just go for it. I can understand her fears, but if God has given such a beautiful singing voice then it is a waste if you don’t do something with it. I mean this in the nicest way possible. I mean there must be other reasons why Aimee hasn’t made an album yet.

There is a lot still unknown about Aimee Osbourne in some ways she is a bit of a mystery. I wonder if this has made it more difficult for her. Aimee Osbourne has contemplated many career choices not only with singing, but she has also considered opening her own jewelry company. Aimee Osbourne writes for pop culture magazine, Nylon, has appeared in many fashion shows, has her own home and once dated Taylor Hanson of Hanson.

Some facts about The Osbourne’s pets.Sharon Osbourne loves dogs and has many dogs that she devotes a lot of her time to.

Minnie was Sharon’s favourite dog.

Sharon Osbourne flew 5,400 miles back to Los Angeles on the 11.09.07 to care for Minnie who was ill.

At the time that Sharon Osbourne was told that her dear dog, Minnie was sick she had flown to London to see Kelly in her debut performance of the hit West End show ‘Chicago’.

Minnie was a white Pomeranian breed of dog and kept close to Sharon’s side whilst she fought against cancer.

Minnie made many television appearances alongside Sharon Osbourne in British television show “The X Factor” and also in “The Osbourne’s”.

Minnie even bit Partick Swayze on the set of Sharon Osbourne’s chat show. Minnie also bit David Hasselhoff on the face and hand. (Apparently Minnie was a good judge of character!)

Ozzy Osbourne once saved the families dog Pipi from a coyote.

The Osbourne’s black chihuahua, Lulu, was killed in another attack.

The family through a poisoned chicken over the garden fence in an attempt to kill the coyotes.

The Osbourne’s many dogs have starred in “The Osbourne’s” and the family also have a cat.

It has been said that Ozzy Osbourne does not find it easy living in a house full of animals. (Awww Ozzy don’t you just love those cute, little bundle’s of fluff? I know that if I had a bigger house the house would be bloody full of animals, lol! We once had a cage full of 12 pet rats and over the years we’ve had fish, cats, rats, birds, hamsters and a gerbil. I’ve never had a dog although I’d love one I don’t think our cat would be very happy. Miserable sod that he is! Animals are just so cute, but I’m ever tripping over my cat cause he gets under my feet so I don’t know what it would be like to have a house full of pets. I’d love to have a farm one day, that’s one of my dreams. Then I could have as many animals as I wanted)

In “The Osbourne’s” series, Ozzy is shown frequently tripping over the pets and swearing at them in response. That’s Ozzy for you! Lol!

I was watching Secret Millionaire on channel 4 tonight, 22^nd March and advertised afterwards was The Chris Moyles show. Now I don’t usually watch this, but as well as Louis Walsh being on it so was Sharon Osbourne. Sharon Osbourne was reading the questions on it and I must say she did a fantastic job and brought a lot of humour to the programme.

I was surprised to see Sharon’s new hair style it’s nice, but it’s very different from the spiky plum coloured hair that she usually has. It makes Sharon look completely different and I suppose it is good to have a change.

It was a very entertaining show and that reminds me another show that The Osbourne’s are going to be airing soon, called “Osbourne’s Loud And Dangerous”In The new television show we will see why Kelly is into animal ears, what Kelly and Ozzy were doing in disguise at a fast food drive through, we will see Jack’s superhero outfit and we will find out what the rock siblings are interested in listening to right now. There is going to be a lot of fun and interesting things going on and it is a show not to miss. It is going to be a unique series that will have a lot of variety from musical performances, sketches and competitions to the comical moments that set The Osbourne’s apart. It will, of course, also have a touch of the outrageousness that The Osbourne’s are known for. Each episode will last for an hour and be hosted by Fox.

I have a strong feeling that this show will rock the world and that it will draw a massive amount of ratings in. I think the show will eventually go on to win awards, that it will show a new side to The Osbourne’s and show the world just how close they are as a family. The show involves a lot of audience interaction, comedy and crazy stunts that will shock and amuse.

Loud and Dangerous will air on Tuesday’s at 9.00 p.m from March 31^st. The best thing is that there is no script for the programme so it will all be improvisation which means there’ll be plenty of scope for the natural humour of The Osbourne’s. The show is expected to be similar to Sabado Gigante and Germany’s Wanna Bet?

The Osbourne’s Reloaded is bound to be a fantastic new show that will have all the chemistry and emotion that The Osbourne’s bring to the television. Working together as a family is what The Osbourne’s do the best despite having struggles they show the world that they can come through them as a family. Their strength as a family is very strong and despite what the world throws at them they rise above it all.

The show is being produced by FremantleMedia North America, who also produce American Idol for FOX and FOX have ordered six episodes of the series. The show will première straight after American Idol on Tuesday, March 31^{st .}
