Living 24/7 under the public eye has brought
the Osbourne clan international fame but has also taken its toll on the
family in unexpected ways. Since the first season wrapped Sharon was diagnosed
with colon cancer and the second season will include footage of her undergoing
treatment and fighting the disease.
Sharon spoke with Barbara Walters of ABCs
20/20 and told her that this second season of the Osbournes which is set
to debut on Nov 26th on MTV will be the last season. We cant do it anymore,
Sharon told Walters. Sharon said that the show has changed us all so much."
The two Osbourne children who opted to participate in the series became
instant celebritys and now even have lawyers and business managers.
Sharon did go on record and told Walters
that Ozzy fell off the wagon soon after she was diagnosed with cancer.
"So it's a little bit invasive right now and we have no privacy, said
Sharon. You know when you're sick, you want to be on your own? I can't
throw up on my own and Ozzy can't get drunk on his own."
She also said that fans will witness in
the second season just how much fame has changed the family. "Because it's
a moment in time, when we were innocent to it all, we went in feet first
and you can't recreate that," she said. "Yes, now, this series, people
will see what the first series has done to our lives and it will take people
to the next stage. But after that, it's over."
Dick Clark has also called upon The Osbournes
to host the 30th annual American Music Awards, which will be held at the
Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on January13th. "We are going to give
the American Music Awards 2003 a different slant as only the Osbournes
can," said Sharon Osbourne in a statement.
"I can't wait to see what Ozzy and the
rest of the family have in store for us, and I know the ABC-TV censor is
already having dreams, or should I say nightmares, about their live ad-libs,"
said Dick Clark who is executive producer of the awards show.
You can tune in to the second season of
The Osbournes on November 26th, when it debuts on MTV.
