All relationships have their quirks. The beauty is that most relationships are private, and the quirks stay between the couple. For example no one would ever want to know that my ex-boyfriend and I had nauseatingly cute nicknames for each other involving woodland creatures. And no one would ever want to know that Ozzie and Sharon Osbourne have a suicide pact. Yep, if one of them kicks it, the other is supposed to swallow a vat of poison and join them in the beyond. Alright they weren’t detailed enough to specify poison, but that seems the way they’d go.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have agreed on a suicide pact – so they can both die at the same time. Rock matriarch Sharon, who is also Ozzy’s manager, has revealed she and her husband agree they cannot live without each other, and so they’ve chosen to go to the grave together.

She explains: “Whatever it was, where you know you’re going to die, we would want to choose the time where we want to leave. I would go with my old man, and he would come with me… (Fortunately) my husband is better than ever, health-wise.”

But the macabre suicide pact doesn’t kick in until 2012, with busy Sharon adding she can’t contemplate taking her life “in the next five years”.

Um… good for you? I never know what to say in these kinds of situation. Whenever someone tells you they have a suicide pact, it’s always so awkward. First there’s the revelation, and then there’s you trying to act like you’re supportive and non-judgmental, and then you have to tell them that’s great but you don’t swing that way… wait that’s all for coming out of the closet. How does one tell others they have a suicide pact? Well I guess if you’re anything like the Osbournes (and what couple isn’t, at least a little bit?) then you go on “Extra” for that explicit purpose. Can anyone say “attention starved?” Maybe it’s time to put Ozzie back on the pills and let him shuffle down Hollywood Boulevard. Compassionate? No. But probably a little more fun than a suicide pact.

Courtney Love has hit back at claims she introduced Jack Osbourne to drugs, and goes as far to suggest that it was Jack introducing her to OxyContin.

She fumed: “I never did that. I would never give drugs to a teenager. F**k you Sharon – as if I would ever give drugs to a teenager.”

Love, 43, claims she had never seen or heard of OxyContin until she had met Jack.

She added: “It was the first time I was ever introduced to the pills.”

Earlier this month, Sharon claimed Love was to blame for her son’s addiction to painkillers.

She said: “I will never have time for Courtney Love. She was the first person to give my son Jack the prescription drug OxyContin. There’s not a shadow of doubt in my mind about that. My dislike towards her is very personal.”

To me, it seems that the person responsible for Jack Osbourne’s drug addiction is probably Jack Osbourne himself. Even if you are a celebrity child, you must have seen an after school special. Or Dawson’s Creek. Or something that tells you ‘just say no to drugs.’ I can just imagine Jack coming home high on drugs and saying “But mom, Courtney Love gave them to me. They must be okay.”

Of course, Sharon Osbourne might have kept her mouth shut if she knew that Courtney hasn’t entirely mended her crazy ways. This week she – accidently – ripped Kate Moss’ $4,000 Dior dress at a London Fashion Week show. Be careful Sharon, Courtney isn’t afraid of ruining your couture, and making it look like an accident.

Sharon Osbourne seems to have disappeared lately, going to the United Kingdom to host X-Factor, an talent quest with Dannii Minogue and Mr Idol himself Simon Cowell. In case you aren’t familiar with the format, as far as I can tell it’s identical to American Idol.

The new season of X-Factor started recently and Sharon has been doing some interviews to support it, in whch she tries her best to take the bitch crown from Simon Cowell’s head.

‘I do dislike Madonna,’ Sharon tells the Daily Mirror.

‘She annoys me. I’ve met her a few times and found her very cold and very rude.

‘She’s annoyed me for years…way before all the “buying a baby” thing.’

Not only does she dislike Madonna, she doesn’t seem too impressed with Courtney Love either.

“I will never have time for Courtney Love. She was the first person to give my son Jack the prescription drug OxyContin. There’s not a shadow of doubt in my mind about that. My dislike towards her is very personal.

“I’m not saying Jack wouldn’t have taken it if she hadn’t given it to him, but I’m appalled that an adult mother would give that to a 15-year-old boy. How could she do that to someone else’s child? I haven’t had a row with her, but I will never talk to her.”

Monsters and Critics

I guess she doesn’t want to risk her Mum-of-the-Year crown by admitting she forgot to teach her son to say no to drugs. I’m kidding here, even great parents have kids that go off the rails. Sharon does seem to love her kids and keep them close, which is lucky as she’s feuding with everyone else in her family it seems. In this interview, she admits a period of not talking to her dad, and not speaking to her maternal side of the family. The interview was given in response to her brother David Arden’s claims that she hates Simon Cowell and Dannii Minogue, which Sharon denies. Her brother also claims she chose a different grave for her father than the one he requested.

“My brother said dad wanted to be buried in a churchyard in Surrey with my mum. But although he came back into my life in 2002 when Alzheimer’s had started to take hold, he never once told me that.

“Dad was a Jew and his sister, nephew and girlfriend all insisted he wanted to be buried in a Jewish cemetery in his hometown. So who was I to believe – my brother or three other people?

“The reason I didn’t go to his funeral was because I couldn’t bear to have one side of the family staring daggers at the other over his coffin.

“I couldn’t win. Instead I paid for it all and stayed away. I’ll be there for the head stone laying ceremony in November.

“But I’ll never visit my mum’s grave. I’d be the world’s biggest hypocrite if I did because I didn’t like her and didn’t communicate with her.”

Daily Mail

Sharon does seem capable of picking a fight with anyone, and is definitely not talking to her brother right now. Then again, if husband Ozzy Osbourne is as vague as he comes across on The Osbournes, there would be no satisfaction in fighting with him.
