Ozzy Osbourne Sues And Wins!
As if the Osbournes couldn't make a bit more cash! What with Sharon demanding more money all the time for her role as judge on X-Factor, now jittery hubby Ozzy seems to have learned a bit of business savvy from his missus. But we better be careful what we say here now because the bat-biting rocker might take us to the cleaners like he did the Daily Star newspaper.
But then again we're not likely to say that Ozzy was responsible for turning the Brit Awards into "Ozzy's Freak Show." Ozzy promptly sued and has won "substantial" damages. 59 year-old Oz and wifey Shazza were hosting the awards in characteristic style back in February. But the tabloid claimed that the Black Sabbath front man toppled over twice just before the ceremony and also alleged that he had to ferried around the show in an electric buggy. Ozzy's lawyer John Kelly said:
"The claimant is a highly successful touring artist who has just completed a sell out world tour. The publication of false allegations that the claimant was in such a poor state of health that he was incapable of hosting an awards ceremony …. are extremely serious."
The undisclosed damages will be donated to the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program run by Osbourne's wife. Aahh Shazza we take it all back. The lawyers for The Daily Star's told the court that the newspaper apologised for the distress and embarrassment caused by the article, and accepted the allegations were untrue and should never have been published.
