Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 01:25:06 GMT From: Ozzy Osbourne To: Ozzy Osbourne Subject: OZZY OSBOURNE NEWSLETTER - April 22, 2002 OZZY INVITED TO WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORRESPONDENTS DINNER Contrary to rumors flying far and wide Ozzy has not been invited by President George W. Bush to the White House for a what-would-be most unusual summit of the minds. The story started in England in one of that country's infamous tabloids but the real story is that Ozzy and Sharon have been invited by one of their new fans, Fox News Channel talking head Greta Van Susteren, to the White House Press Correspondents Dinner May 4. And yes, the President WILL attend the dinner, along with a host of other politicos and journalists. __________________________________________________ OSBOURNES EVERYWHERE! Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, 20/20, cover of USA Today, Regis and Kelly, Tonight Show with Jay Leno--the list goes on! It is the highest profile Ozzy has ever had in his illustrious 32-year career and it goes without saying this is the funniest era: dog shit, bubbles, "pimpmobiles", vacuum cleaners (AKA vac sabbath). Who isn't laughing? Apparently very few Americans between the ages 18 and 34 as "The Osbournes" episode 7 (air date: April 16) was the sixth highest rated show on all of televsion in that demographic group and the highest rating *ever* for MTV. Second season? We're betting on it. ___________________________________________________ "THE OSBOURNES" ALBUM IN THE WORKS; JACK OVERSEES PROJECT That's right, hot off the success of the series Epic Records has begun to assemble an Osbournes soundtrack, to be executive produced by none other than everyone's favorite 16 year old mogul, Jack Osbourne! No information on acts or tracklisting as of yet but Jack's sister Kelly will make her recording debut with her spunky version of "Papa Don't Preach", the 1986 Madonna classic. More details as they become available. ___________________________________________________ OZZY IN THE STUDIO RECORDING BONUS TRACKS FOR "LIVE AT BUDOKAN" Ozzy has been tracking several songs for the last couple weeks in a Hollywood studio, three of which will make the final cut as bonus tracks to Ozzy's eagerly anticipated "Live at Budokan" CD, coming this summer on Epic. More info soon. ___________________________________________________ "OSBOURNES" MERCH IN THE WORKS! Pick up your dog's dung with your very own Ozzy pooper scooper!
