What Would You Do For $2 Million?
Sharon Osbourne keeps making trouble. This time it was during an interview in the UK with Piers Morgan. I don't really care that she is causing trouble because, hey, it gives me something to write about. She basically slammed Dannii Minogue and said that the only reason Dannii is on X-Factor is because she wants to have sex with Simon Cowell. Simon apparently likes that kind of spirit in his employees and so of course loves having Dannii on the show. Sharon never comes out and says that Dannii and Simon have had sex, but at least she hung it up in the air.
That is all fun and good, but the reason I am writing a post about the interview is because of something else she said which just really ticks me off. Sharon was asked why she left X-Factor. She had been a judge on the show, which is the UK version of American Idol basically. Sharon said the company offered her $2M but she didn't want to sit next to Dannii for six months so turned the offer down.
Oh, well sure, who wouldn't want to sit next to someone for a couple of hours a week for six months, not have to say a word to them and only be offered $2M. Give me a damn break. Do you really have that much money that you are basically just throwing away $2M? And how did you get that money? Oh yeah. Taking over from your dad who had made Ozzy a star. All you had to do was take phone calls. And yes, she had to marry Ozzy also. So, give her some credit for that.
I would sit naked between Denise Richards and Kim Kardashian and have them insult me every second of the day for six months if at the end of it someone gave me a check for $2M. I don't think Sharon is going to make any fans by saying that when it seems as if half the world is unemployed and would take just about anything for minimum wage, she couldn't bother to sit on television next to someone for $2M. How can I even relate to that? How can anyone? I can't even believe they pay someone $2M to sit there and be a judge. Any of us could do it. "Pitchy." "That was ok" "You look great" "Good job." Yep. OK, where are our $2M checks?
Damn right. I just cashed my final unemployment check and have no clue what I'm going to do now and she turns down $2M for that lame excuse? She needs to yank that stick out of her ass.
ReplyDeleteThis woman takes "outspoken" to the nth degree. Just because Ozzy can't speak doesn't mean she has to speak for both of them. Just shut up Sharon. Your 15 mins are done.
ReplyDeleteYou tell her Enty!
ReplyDeleteGive me the job, pay me 1/10th of the pay, and I'll bet you I could be a hell of a lot more entertaining. Of course, anyone on that show could be a hell of a lot more entertaining. They could get one of those Welsh guys on there who speak with an accent that can only be decoded by people who grew up on the same street as them, and that dude would be more entertaining.
ReplyDeleteSheesh.
i find sharon to be an annoying user, and a lousy parent.
ReplyDeleteI will let Sharon Osbourne sit on my FACE for six months while taping the show, and for only ONE million dollars!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I need the cash that badly.

ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh more than it should've at work. Cheers Kelly!
Actually Enty, her dad made Black Sabbath stars while at the same time embezzeling MILLIONS which they never saw a penny of. At one point,Black Sabbath made Ozzy sing from the side of the stage because they like to just crap on his self confidence. They dumped Ozzy, and Sharon took over after she jumped ship from her dad's company. She and Ozzy went solo from nothing. They busted their asses to get where they are. Sharon had to learn to be pushy to try to survive in a male dominated rock world (and her crap family). That woman is tough and stands up for herself and calls out the bullshitters, and I for one like that. I too would sit next to Satan himself for that kinda money. JMHO.
ReplyDeleteyeah I would have done it for the money too but then again, I don't have millions in the bank like Sharon does. its not like she wasn't getting other job offers...I'm sure the other jobs were not as well paid but still. Sharon doesn't need to worry about money!
ReplyDeleteThis is a bit of a non-story Enty. Slow news day?
sounds like the old crow is jealous.
ReplyDeleteI think I would ask for more than 2m if I was sitting next to Sharon hehehe.
ReplyDeleteLisa beat me to it with the story and Ozzy n Sharon.
ReplyDeletewhat is $2M to them really in the grand scheme of things? thats probably like $1000 to the rest of us and I don't know if i'd want to sit next to so much sillicone and botox either.
sorry i love Sharon, she tells it like it is and doens't take shit from anyone and is hugely succesful.
Ha Ha HAAAA, you get her, Enty!
ReplyDeleteYou can't keep a "take no shit" woman down. I like listening to her comments on "America's Got Talent". Ya, she can be outspoken, but she's also very tender to some of the contestants.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about Dannii, but if Sharon says Dannii screwed her way to the top, it's good enough for me.
Hey, at least she said Simon slept with a woman, right?
So, how much did VH1 pay her to work with those whores? Or is she saying she'd rather work with those whores?
ReplyDeleteI've noticed she never has anything nice to say about anyone. The only way she can get attention is by slagging people off. not a nice person in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI love Sharon Osbourne and she can do no wrong in my eyes. I agree with Lisa, I think she has worked very hard to get to where she is, and I think being a female manager in the heavy metal world, she had to learn to be a bitch. She can be mean but I don't think her comments are without merit. I feel the same about Simon Cowell, by the way. He makes people cry, but those people should have known better than to audition for "Idol" anyway.
ReplyDeleteSharon's a total tart and has no class whatsoever, but I kind of dig her anyway. Anyone else here remember the story of what she did to a woman didn't like? Where she got into the woman's room and urinated in her suitcases...
ReplyDeletei heard it was number two LOL
