Rocker Ozzy Osbourne has reportedly been invited to dinner at the White House by US President George W. Bush. Osbourne said he was stunned to be invited, according to the Express newspaper. He said, "I thought I'd be on a Wanted Poster on the wall, not invited to his place to tea."

Ozzy Osbourne, the pioneering, bat-beheading god of heavy metal sprawled out on the floor after accidentally tumbling from a director's chair. This, during the latest hilarious episode of MTV's smash reality hit The Osbournes.

Not since the days of Chevy Chase or perhaps even **** Van ****, has an on-screen pratfall resonated so strongly with American TV viewers. And this one wasn't even scripted.

Family Values
Viewers see Osbourne giving his children advice on sex, drink and drugs - He has battled drink and drug addictions-

The TV show follows the real-life family sagas of Osbourne, 53, his wife and manager Sharon and their children Kelly, 17, and Jack, 16, have all been filmed going about their daily lives in their Beverly Hills home.

The Osbournes has become music channel MTV's biggest ever hit in the US, with more than three million viewers and President Bush is said to be a huge fan.

"Dubba" is about the same age, & he has been most candid about giving up drinking when it effected his life. I'm sure he must have listened to Black Sabbath back in his college days. What better example of what drugs & alcohol can to a person than looking @ Oz, or maybe Keith Richards who looks about 110.

I guess he is stanging up for a good cause then. I have to check the listings and try to catch an episode. It reminds me of former Oakland Raiders Lyle Alzatoe (sp?). He was a steroid abuser when he played football and finally kicked the habbit. Unfourtunately he died from it. He did a public service commercial that was only aired after his death. Very scary but really drove home his message.

I think rather than the same old "Do as I say, not as I do" Don't do drugs commercial, Oz can say, "Been there, done that, bit the head off a bat."

Upon hearing the news, one of my buds @ work remarked, "Make sure that Hillary is there, just in case he gets the urge to bite the head off another bat."

He might be crazy, but his show on MTV is freaking hilarious. Never in my life have I seen such a disfunctional yet somehow functional family in my life!!! Long live Ozzy!
