Sharon Osborne is one of those faux-celebrities—you wouldn’t even know her name if she wasn’t Missus Ozzy Osbourne—that seem to think she comes off as just regular people like you and me.
She doesn’t. Appearing on the Christmas special of the BBC show Would I Lie To You?, Sharon was tasked with telling a story and the other team would guess if her story was true or not; she says this is true:
“I once sacked a member of my staff because he showed absolutely no sense of humor during a house fire.”
Here’s what happened. Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne started a fire in their mansion via an unattended candle, and, well, since she wouldn’t put all her plastic surgery at risk going back into the house to save her art collection, she sent in her assistant. He suffered smoke inhalation and when paramedics arrived, she ALLEGEDLY ripped the oxygen mask off his face and used it on her dog while ordering the assistant back inside the burning house.
Later, as she and Ozzy laughed about the whole thing, the assistant was not amused, and Missus Faux-Celebrity said:
“If you don’t think that’s funny, do you think this is funny? You’re fired.”
And, again, she swears that’s a true story. My Christmas wish is that the sacked employee gets a copy of the show and sues her ignorant ass for all she’s worth.

Would I Lie to You used to be funny, but if they are reduced to having faux has-beens on the show is clearly past its sell by date
ReplyDeleteThe closing of Barney's what? Sandra Bernhard is a treasure.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I wasn't sure if that was Sharon or a drag queen at first. Faux celebrity, that's a perfect description of many many people we see on tv now.
ReplyDeleteWhat the Efron did Zac do to his hair, looks stupid!
I'm so shocked when I hear about married celebrities having sex outside of their... nah just kidding, I'm always more shocked when I hear they are married and faithful to each other.
Poor Lindsay, leave Lindsay alone, just leave her alone, she does enough self damage, lol.
akness!!
ReplyDeletexoxoxo :-)
my, the garbage can is certainly full this week, bob. and boy howdy, does it ever STINK!
ReplyDeleteOne big dumpster fire!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see Sharon Osbourne on there (can't stand her) but I love the show. And I think Lee Mack and David Mitchel are just great together!
ReplyDelete@Helen
ReplyDeleteClearly the idea of celebrity has changed to anyone who makes a name for themselves behaving like an ass?
@Deedles
Surely you know she means Barney's New York? Surely???
@Steven
I think Efron looks far better as a bottle blond than he did as a wispy haired prepubescent child. He looks like a hot date now.
And Lohan and I have a Loathe-Hate relationship!
@TDM
Apt description
@AM
Bernhard makes it palatable … somewhat!
@Debra
And it rages on …….
@Treaders
We don't get the show here in the states so I know nothing about it.
Surely who? *snort*
ReplyDeleteSo, what's up with Zak's hair? some cuties think they pull anything off.
ReplyDeleteThat Bernhard bit did make me laugh... a lot.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, Sharon O has the kind of white trash credentials no one is jealous of... except maybe one of the Kardashisluts.
Bob, you can watch Would I Lie to You on Youtube - or at least excerpts - and some of it is so funny, especially when Lee Mack and David Mitchel start ranting at each other.

ReplyDeleteThanks. I'll look it up!
