Cinder | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 01:49 pm     Other f-ing great things about this eposode The BMW now understands Ozzy Melinda is pregnant- and f-ing Kelly can't stand how much she is going on and on about it (I have never been pregnant- yet, but when I do I bet I would go on and on about it in the beginning) OH- YEAH- Ozzy f-ing sitting in the BMW driver's seat in the driveway Ozzy is blaming the show for Jack getting further involved in drugs because everyone wants to hang out with him- but Jack did start at 13. Sadly, I bet this is the last season- especially since Kelly has her own house now. |
Chance | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:22 pm     I missed the f-ing Jack post rehab interview. Do any of you f-ing fans know when it will be rebroadcast? F-ing thanks in advance. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 03:48 pm     Chance, the f-ing interview with Jack repeats from 6-6:30 pm pacific time today (MTV News.. Jack Osbourne: Back from Rehab) and is followed by an hour long documentary about OxyContin. |
Abby7 | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 06:56 pm     Last night's show was the best so far this season IMO. I may have missed something....was it mentioned where Jack was? When Sharon and Kelly returned from NY (coming off the plane), Kelly hid her face and Sharon looked very, very sad. During the drive home Sharon looked like she wanted to cry. Did anyone else notice this? She looked much happier as she came in to the house though. Maybe she just missed Ozzie and home. The re-hab interview was pretty good. Cinder, regarding the staff at re-hab not finding Jack's pill....Jack may have just been "protecting" someone when he said he found 1/2 pill in his pants. It may have been just some kind of drug either offered by someone in re-hab or brought in some how with a "friend". Hard to say. I think it's hard to keep drugs from coming in to the facility through outsiders. |
Cinder | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 08:37 pm     Abby7- Yeah I know it is f-ing hard. I have worked in a facility- thankfully never on the substance abuse unit. I know we had to search pockets and EVERYTHING-we also put their money in a safe. But if you're determined enough you can figure out a way. Maybe however they just didn't check his pockets- or thought it was OK to have money. Or maybe you are right- he was covering for someone. |
Bracken | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 11:50 pm     I was in here lurking and just heard on Extra that the Obsbournes have signed a contract for an third f-ing year. And Sharon is going to be f-ing busy, too I guess her talk show starts in September. |
Pamy | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 06:46 am     Good find Bracken! Don't lurck, stay and have some f-ing fun with the rest of us!! Have a great f-ing day! |
Bracken | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 08:26 am     Much as I love this thread and never miss Ozzy & family I have my f-ing BB addiction to attend to -- my f-ing butt looks like (___|___) already and it's only been two days now. Hopefully, somebody will post what they $$ (will earn) for the third season -- they may need it to put Jack in re-f-kinghab again. I'm not even sure what f-ing network or cable channel Sharon will be on. But we have plenty of time to find that out I guess. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 10:59 am     By Rick Porter LOS ANGELES ( Zap2it.com) - To borrow an MTV phrase, "The Osbournes" isn't exactly buzzworthy these days. It is, however, still the highest-rated series on MTV, which has no plans to pull the plug. The cable network has ordered 20 new episodes of the show, which will begin airing in early 2004. "If you thought we wouldn't re-sign the Osbournes for another season, you're crazy," MTV President Van Toffler says in a statement. " 'The Osbournes' is a bona fide hit on MTV, and we will continue to work with the family to give our audience more of the rock-star family drama that they crave." Appearing at the TV Critics Association press tour Tuesday (July 8), patriarch Ozzy Osbourne joked that he "missed the f---in' cameras," so he invited them back in. "It's been a hell of a journey," Osbourne says. "I've been from the gates of Buckingham Palace to the gates of hell" during his wife Sharon's battle with cancer. He's also had to endure son Jack's recent stint at a drug rehabilitation facility. Ozzy calls Jack "my hero" for coming to his parents with his problem. "It's been an adventure, and I didn't want the adventure to end." Cameras will likely re-enter the Osbourne household in the fall to film the new episodes. Edited to add another article: From E! Online Osbournes Up for More "Osbournes" by Joal Ryan Jul 8, 2003 Ozzy Osbourne supports anti-marijuana laws? Yeah, right. And he and his family want MTV to keep camping out in their living room. Well, uh... It's strange, but true on both counts: The supposedly camera-chastened Osbournes are on board for another season of The Osbournes; the once-hard-living Ozzy is denouncing drugs--all of 'em. First about The Osbournes: MTV announced Tuesday it has locked in the first family of the F-bomb for 20 more episodes, scheduled to begin airing early next year. "If you thought we wouldn't resign the Osbournes...you're crazy," MTV president Van Toffler said in a statement. If you did doubt the surreality show's continued existence, it's also possible you were just listening to Sharon Osbourne. Last November, Ozzy's wily wife and manager complained to Barbara Walters that MTV's cameras had become too much. "I can't throw up on my own," said the then-chemo-weakened Sharon, "and Ozzy can't get drunk on his own." The family would finish out the second season, "but after that's, it's over," Sharon Osbourne said. Of course, even before the Walters interview aired, Sharon Osbourne phoned Toffler to reassure him that "you can't believe everything I say." Which brings us to Tuesday. On Tuesday, Ozzy's missus, now in remission from colon cancer and prepping her own syndicated afternoon talk show, said "there's been a hollow empty feeling in [her] heart since the MTV crew left the Osbourne residence." She was joking. But she wasn't joking about her motive for sealing the deal she said she wouldn't make. "How lucky am I to have MTV with us for another year filming home movies of my family...and pay us for it?" Sharon Osbourne asked, in a statement. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The clan's last contract was reported to be worth between $5 million and $20 million. In likely shelling out more big bucks for dad Ozzy, mom Sharon, teens Jack, Kelly and Robert Marcato, the family friend turned permanent resident, MTV conceded the show's ratings aren't what they used to be. The Osbournes' first season, running from March-May 2002, was a "media feeding frenzy," as the network put it. The wholly ordinary antics of Ozzy's 90210-based brood (See Ozzy pick up dog poop! Hear Kelly and Jack argue!) averaged about 8 million viewers--a monster number for a cable show. Since then, the show has "settled," per MTV, into more mortal ratings--about 6.6 million at the start of the second season in November, down to about 3 million for the second half of the second season (sometimes I.D.'d as the third season) this summer. Still, even with dwindling returns, The Osbournes currently ranks as MTV's second-highest rated show, behind The Real World: Paris. No word yet on what storylines will be featured in the all-new episodes. For now, MTV says only that its cameras will again have 24-hour access to the outspoken bunch. Of course, 24 hours a day isn't always enough with the Osbournes. While Sharon's cancer battle was played out for the cameras, the second season's other big story--Jack's rehab stay--wasn't. The 17-year-old club kid checked into a clinic in April after shooting had ended for the season. While reports said Jack Osbourne was wilting under the spotlight, the media-savvy teen is showing no signs of becoming media shy. He discusses his drug troubles, including his addiction to the prescription painkiller OxyContin, in an MTV News interview, scheduled to air Tuesday night. During that special, dad Ozzy renounces just about every substance harder than decaf. "I used to think they should legalize pot, but you know what? They should ban the lot," the 55-year-old headbanger tells MTV News. "One thing leads to another. Coffee leads to Red Bull, Red Bull leads to crank." The elder Osbourne, who reveals he will need medication the rest of his life due to "neurological damage" caused by his own partying, says he was shocked by how fast his son went from smoking marijuana to "doing hillbilly heroin," a nickname for OxyContin. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 03:33 pm     MTV announces its return to the land of Ozz Twenty new "Osbournes" shows will air next year Beth Harris, AP Get ready for a third season of family dysfunction, messy pets and four-letter words. "Tthe Osbournes" will return for 20 new episodes on MTV early next year, the network announced. Filming at the family's Beverly Hills mansion will resume this fall. "It's been one hell of a journey these past few years," patriarch Ozzy Osbourne said Tuesday at the Television Critics Association summer gathering. "This whole MTV thing has been an incredible adventure. We didn't want the adventure to end so soon." "The Osbournes" is MTV's biggest-ever hit, although ratings have slipped since its debut in March 2002. The network says the second season is averaging more than 3 million viewers. "If you thought we wouldn't re-sign the Osbournes for another season, you're crazy," said Van Toffler, MTV president. Since the unscripted reality show began, viewers have seen matriarch Sharon Osbourne undergo cancer treatments and 17-year old son, Jack, recently emerge from a stint in rehab. "Drugs are everywhere. We are not winning the war on drugs," said Ozzy, wearing a black T-shirt, brown sweat pants and several gold chains and bracelets. Ozzy, who's nearly incoherent from years of substance abuse, concedes that the high-profile show likely contributed to Jack's problems. "I suppose it didn't help matters he was going to clubs and parties," Ozzy said, adding that he credits his son for seeking help on his own. "If you were 17, would you have gone to your folks and said, 'Mom, Dad, I have a drugs-and-alcohol problem?' I know I wouldn't," he said. "It was very courageous of him. He's my hero." Meanwhile Aimee Osbourne has finally entered the entertainment world. The soft-spoken older daughter, who declined to be part of her family's weekly show, will make her television acting debut in the MTV movie, "Wuthering Heights," scheduled to air Sept 4. It's an adaptation of the classic novel by Emily Bronte about doomed and tragic love, but updated for the MTV audience with an emphasis on music. Aimee studied acting in London. "I don't have huge intentions to be some big actress," she said. "I was casually asked. It was a great experience and I'm glad I did it." For the past 18 monthes, Aimee has been writing and recording her debut album, something her 18-year-old sister, Kelly, already did. Aimee has no regrets about not joining her bickering siblings on MTV. "I wasn't 100 percent comfortable with it. I was 17, I wasn't very confident, I was shy. it was just a huge risk for me to take as well as my family," she said. "That to me was really intimidating and scary." |
Jedisan | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 06:25 pm     Geez, when on earth will Sharon let this family REST! Especially for herself! I have stopped watching. It was fun the first season, now it is sad. Jack and his troubles with drugs, Kelly and her troubles with Jack (I agree she needs anger management) Eh, what do I know. |
Seamonkey | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 10:34 am     Actually, back when Sharon was ready to pack it in, it was Ozzy who said in an interview that he's sign on again by himself. I agree that Sharon is a workaholic; it must have been really hard for her to be sidelined by chemo. |
Marameko | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 11:34 am     How the h*** are you f-ing f****rs doing ? I can come into this room and release all my wordly inhibitions. The cussing is great, I sit in my office at work alone. laughing out loud like I'm f-ing insane.........It is so invigorating. To all the F-ING "OSBOURNITES"......Have a A F-ING FANTABULOUS DAY !!! Cheers |
Theowl | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 11:52 am     HEY PAMY!!! 7 HOURS AND 37 F-ING MINUTES!!! HOOO F-ING HOOOO!!!!  |
Bracken | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 01:36 pm     I'm still watching, but like every series, it has it's ups and downs. Unfortunately, the f***ing kids have too much f***ing freedom, but they can't beat them with all those cameras in the house. I thought I had seen a clip on one of the Entertainment shows with them at their home in England. I'm dying to see that house. While I'm not laughing out loud this season, yet, I am smiling with a snort thrown in every now and then; which is more than I can say for watching my obsession -- BB. Good on ya Osbourne clan. Make my Tuesday evenings. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 05:44 pm     I saw an interview with Sharon, who admits she knew Jack drank and smoked pot, but she says he's so much like her she always thought he'd inherited all of her characteristics, including a non-addictive chemical makeup. She says the wakeup for her was arriving home from a trip and finding three guys in their thirties hanging out in her kitchen and they thought she was joking when she asked who the H they were? But she said what are you fing doing hanging out with a 17 year old? Another blurb: Sharon says on her f-ing talk show she won't be swearing.. says with The Osbournes she's inviting people into her home and that's the way she chooses to live her life, but with the talk show, people are inviting her into their homes and that is different. Will be F-ing interesting to see if she can self censor.. Personally, I'd like them to hurry the F up and start the talk show.. |
Eliz87 | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 08:42 pm     Sharon is such a lovely woman, IMO. She f-ing rocks and so will her talk show! |
Pamy | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 09:42 pm     Owl..I was having a bad day and snuck in here for a minute, saw your post, smiled, and the rest of my day was so much f-ing better!!!! Eliz...was that your first post here?? I was so impressed that you followed the f-ing rules!!! Welcome!!! |
Eliz87 | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 09:46 pm     LOL Pamy, and thank you. I followed the show closely the first season and absolutely f-ing loved it, and then due to family finances, we had our cable disconnected. So, although I haven't been able to watch the show, I still see Sharon on some other programs and am highly f-ing anticipating her talk show! |
Theowl | Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 10:42 pm     I'm glad I made you f-ing smile, Pamy. My job was a complete success!! I hope you enjoyed the show. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 10:19 am     These guys do need a f-ing pet intervention.. keep the cats in or create a secure outdoor area with trees but with a top.. learn about flea control, worms, etc.. please!! I do sympathise about the tennis court noise.. my parents lived above one and those people played night and day (it was for a whole complex) and it isn't just the thwocks but people seem to feel they are obligated to vocalize constantly while playing. And people with large properties do tend to put the nuisance components at the property line for the "enjoyment" of the neighbors (the barbeque, dog run, trash cans, tennis court, etc..) And then there's the smokers who go outside of their own living quarters and smoke so that the f-ing fumes come into someone else's window..grrr. Pamy, I hope you guys are staying cool.. seems like a f-ing oven out your way |
Sanfranjoshfan | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 01:35 pm     Hey I missed the Real World and the Osbournes last night. I know last night's episode of Real World will replay this coming Tuesday, but I can't find the replay date for last night's Osbournes. The durn MTV website is so convolulted and lame it drives me nuts (I found some listings of Osbournes but they all list last week's episode, not last night's.....and the TV guide is simply lying when it comes to MTV programming (it said Osbournes was on at 1:30 am last night but all I got was Jackass). I just need to know when the episode that aired last night will rerun...it was titled "Tennis Racket". The folks on this board always seem to have an answer for stuff like this! |
Grooch | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 01:46 pm     SanFran, I believe last night they aired the previous week's show right after the new one. Usually they will replay it over the weekend. I always just keep switching to mtv on the weekends to try and catch a show I missed. You're right, the mtv listings are useless. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 01:54 pm     The best line was when Ozzy complained about living between the F-ing McEnroes and Peter, Paul and Hitler.. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 03:05 pm     Thanks Grooch! |
