So here's something you don't exactly hear coming out of Hollywood everyday. Ozzy alleges his doctor over-prescribed addictive drugs that transformed him into the ambling, mumbling, profane character that we love and endearingly watch on the Osbournes.
Apparently, Ozzy hired this doctor in June 2002 to kick a prescription drug habit. Dr. Kipper charged the Osbourne family $650,000 for his services. Thanks Doc. You've been a big help. Here, will more than half a mil do it you fucking scumbag? (Not that the Ozzy's can't afford it, but seriously...the least the doctor could have done is not made the problem worse!)
Posted by Maria at April 6, 2004 05:23 PM | TrackBackThe poor bastard. I did not realize he had hired the Doctor to HELP KICK a drug habit. What kind of doctor would do such a thing to a patient? I guess a patient loaded w/money...he really screwed Ozzy over. I mean he's a wild man on stage but also a husband and a father. This doctor really hurt the whole family by what he did to Ozzy...what a shame.
Posted by: sandy at April 6, 2004 05:58 PMThat family is a train wreck. He undoubtedly hit the doc up for pain killers and now he's crying wolf cuz he's gotten himself hooked on the next recreational drug. There's gotta be more to this than "poor Ozzie".
Sorry guys.. this is the guy who bites heads off small animals remember.
One good stint at Betty Ford and he'll be nasty as ever.

When Ozzie bit that head off that animal, he thought it was a plastic toy and he was joking around. He was just as shocked as everyone when it turned out to be a real animal.
And I love Ozzie. He makes music that has lasted all the way to my generation and will continue to last for generations to come. He gets my full support.
Just because his family has had problems, doesn't mean that in this situation he wasn't screwed by the doc.
Posted by: Maria at April 6, 2004 06:48 PMp.s. Richard I am responding to your email now. Just got it.
Posted by: Maria at April 6, 2004 07:25 PMI dunno.. Maybe it's a taste thing Maria.
I find nothing about him or his kids appealing. His wife seems top notch though.
Posted by: Richard at April 6, 2004 07:39 PMwill look forward to your email.. (should have been in last post)
Posted by: Richard at April 6, 2004 07:39 PMI've gotta say that I admire Sharon. She reminds me of my mom a lot. (And Ozzy kind of reminds me of my dad, except that my dad is a lawyer and he is completely cognizant and coherent! Hahaa!)
His kids are freakazoids. No doubt. And spoiled at that.
Posted by: Maria at April 6, 2004 07:41 PMI meant every last thing I said. :o)
Posted by: Maria at April 6, 2004 07:57 PMOzzy's been one of my favorites since I was a kid; Black Sabbath was one of the first bands I listened to and I loved work after Sabbath. Man, they even play "Crazy Train" at the women's gymnastics meets here! He was one of the greatest influences in metal there were, and I always was (and probably always will be) a metal head! Never watched the tv show though.
Posted by: lee at April 6, 2004 10:20 PMMan my daughter likes Ozzy!!! He's gonna be like Elvis..around forever. My grandchildren will probably know the words to "Crazy Train"..I'll be rockin out w/the babies..oops almost said Rockin' with Dokken!!!!!
Posted by: sandy at April 6, 2004 10:53 PMThis conversation is reminding me of when I was a teenager and my friend Jean and I didn't like this girl named Shauna and we changed all the words to "Mama I'm Comin Home" to "Shauna I'm Comin Home" and we would sing it and literally roll on the floor laughing at our own cleverness. She was overweight so of course we changed the line "I don't care about the sunshine..." to "I can't even see the sunshine..." Damn we thought we were so fucking funny.
Anyway, I still listen to Ozzy and I still absolutely love that song.
Posted by: Maria at April 6, 2004 11:03 PMWe changed the words to the Hall & Oates song, "Rich Girl" to "Bitch Girl" about Kirmel up the street.
"You're a Bitch Girl and you go too far and you know you suck everyones' d*ck...blah blah blah.."
Me and Jill thought we were pretty clever too...haha..
Oh that is toooo funny. Laugh my ass off. I guess all little girls aren't really made of sugar and spice!
Posted by: Maria at April 6, 2004 11:08 PMOh you know us gals are rotten to the core!!!
Posted by: sandy at April 6, 2004 11:14 PMDokken: one of my all time favorites; even saw them last year in concert and they still sounded great!
Sugar and spice? That's a clever little ploy to lead us poor unsuspecting and innocent men into your lairs. You vixens :-)
Posted by: lee at April 7, 2004 12:13 AMDamnit. Lee gets out more than I do!
Posted by: Maria at April 7, 2004 12:21 AMHa! I listed the two concerts I've seen in the last year :-) I'm sad though; I was supposed to see Weird Al here. My friend was taking care of it and didn't follow through; it's already passed and we missed it :-(
Posted by: lee at April 7, 2004 12:26 AMWe were supposed to see A Perfect Circle and our plans fell through too..what a bummer!
Posted by: sandy at April 7, 2004 12:37 AMDon't you hate that? I was bummed when she told me the concert was last weekend. Dammit, I really wanted to see Weird Al. Guess I'll just have to wear out my dvd of "UHF" some more :-)
Posted by: lee at April 7, 2004 12:50 AMYou two are so funny! When I was about 18, Weird Al came to the little town that I lived in (Ashland, OR) and took a horse and buggy ride. It was very exciting for everyone who got to see him go by. Then he played our local "Jackson County Fair." A bunch of my friends and I snuck into the fair by hopping a fence just so we could see Weird Al. But I ended up pounding a couple beers and riding the Zipper, which made me woozy and I couldn't enjoy the show because I kept thinking I was going to hurl. I remember seeing him up there on stage and people were going nuts though. I just remember not being able to enjoy myself very much due to overwhelming waves of nausia. And his outfit wasn't helping. Too bad.
