Sharon Osbourne claims to have left husband Ozzy over his substance abuse September 11, 2003 Forgive our cynicism, but we have noticed that every time Sharon Osbourne needs publicity, she finds a way to exploit some dubious story from her own life.

Ozzy Osbourne tour manager dies during 'Ozzfest' tour July 25, 2003 Sharon Osbourne's brainchild, the 2003 Ozzfest tour, continues to attract attention to her husband Ozzy Osbourne for all the wrong reasons. First, Ozzy, perhaps overjoyed that MTV renewed his family's reality show The Osbournes for another season, missed concerts, claiming to be suffering from laryngitis. Then, when he returned to the tour, his performances were slammed by reviewers, such as this critic from the Akron Beacon-Journal who referred to him as "winded" and "uneven" and noted that his "age and years of abuse showed." Now comes news from the Detroit Free Press that the 54-year-old Ozzy's longtime tour manager, Bobby Thomson, died in his hotel room in suburban Detroit on Thursday night. Ozzy Osbourne is a no-show at his own 'Ozzfest' July 14, 2003 Fresh off the renewal of the MTV series starring his family, Ozzy Osbourne is illustrating why he needs the cash.

Mother Sharon (daughter of Jet Records founder and well-known nasty thug Don Arden) survived colon and lymph cancer and feuded and fought publicly over a raffle prize. Son Jack went through drug rehabilitation. Daughter Kelly was dropped by her dad's record label, prompting him to leave as well, after her debut record flopped. The family members were publicly blasted for their profanity-laden shtick and portrayed as clowns in the media. Oh, and the bottom fell out of their third-season ratings. Time to regroup in peace and quiet, right? 'The Osbournes' Sharon Osbourne blames self for son Jack's substance abuse June 26, 2003 In the world of MTV's The Osbournes, the only bad publicity is no publicity.
