The President is about to receive an unusual guest. It is now confirmed that Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon have been invited to attend this year’s White House Correspondents Association dinner. 

As the Secret Service prepares for the visit of the metal-madman by securing all domestic pets in the White House, Osbourne and his wife plan to attend the annual dinner as the guest of Fox News Network’s (New and Improved) Greta Van Susteren. Ozzy and Sharon recently appeared as guest on Greta’s new Fox News series.  

Ok, Ozzy won’t actually be at the White House as the event is set to take place on May 4 at the Washington Hilton. This year’s dinner marks the 88th year of the annual dinner meeting between the Washington Press-core and the President. The event has been marked in the past as a light-hearted evening of humorous speeches but has turned ugly a couple of times in past years under Bill Clinton when some speakers, like comedian Al Franken, stepped over the line and embarrassed the President with a few tasteless jokes. 

Whether George W. Bush will invite the Osbourne’s to visit the White House remains to be seen. But with the run-away success of the MTV series “The Osbournes” it still remains a political possibility. Although George W. will have to overlook an incident where an inebriated Ozzy relieved himself on the wall of the Alamo, which is located in Bush’s home state of Texas. 

In other Ozzy news, the godfather of metal will receive his very own star this Friday (4-11-02) on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The star will be placed on the sidewalk outside the Ripley's Believe It or Not? Museum.
