Jan, 31 2011
Back in December, Ozzy Osbourne was a guest on Mark Hoppus’ Fuze TV show “A Different Spin”. When asked about pop music, Ozzy said “Who the f**k’s Justin Bieber?” (see NSFW video here). However, he can no longer ask that question, as last week Osbourne filmed a commercial with none other than The Bieb himself.
Bieber, who was born 24 years after Osbourne’s band Black Sabbath’s quadruple platinum selling album Paranoid was first released, dropped hints on Twitter during the taping on January 17th saying, “Can’t really say what I’m up to today but when u guys find out its gonna be funny as heck,” and hashtagging “#todaywasepic.”
Later, it came out that the duo filmed a commercial for Best Buy to air during the third quarter of the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 6th. This will be Best Buy’s first ever Super Bowl commercial and also the 10th straight year that I watch the game solely for the commercials.

Profiling The Prince Of Darkness
Oct, 31 2010
Scientists have been studying Ozzy Osbourne’s blood in an attempt to determine how some individuals are able to endure “excessive substance abuse,” specifically looking at the relationship between DNA and the environment.
The Black Sabbath frontman, 61, wrote in a recent column for the UK’s Sunday Times: “Given the swimming pools of booze I’ve guzzled over the years — not to mention all the cocaine, morphine, sleeping pills, cough syrup, LSD, Rohypnol…you name it — there’s really no plausible medical reason why I should still be alive. Maybe my DNA could say why.”
Researchers at Knome, a Massachusetts company that offers full genome readings for $40,000, began mapping The Prince of Darkness’ genetic code last summer, but the research was unable to pinpoint an “Ozzy Osbourne gene” that would shed light on Osbourne’s staggering consumptive abilities. They did discover an ‘unusual variant’ which could have helped Osbourne metabolize alcohol efficiently during the years when he drank up to four bottles of Cognac a day.
They also learned Osbourne is a descendant of the Neanderthals, and a distant relative of survivors of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, the ancient Romans. Given the Neanderthals’ way of life as well as the hedonism Caligula and Nero practiced, perhaps Osbourne’s genetic fortitude simply can be attributed to his ancestry.
Old Fashioned Values Prevail At Ozzfest
Jul, 31 2010
Ozzfest is Ozzy Osbourne’s brainchild and was founded by him and his wife Sharon Osbourne in 1996. In the years since its inception it has featured some of the biggest and best metal acts in the world and is the place to be if you love your music loud and hairy.
As a special treat, this year’s festival offers the most dedicated of metal fans the ultimate opportunity – to be married at Ozzfest. The ‘Unholy Matrimony’ package offers metal lovebirds the chance to take their vows backstage, in front of an ordained minister called “Big Dave,” and includes lots of goodies including eight tickets for loved ones to witness the nuptials. The package is available at each of the six shows across the U.S. and costs a very reasonable and unholy price of $2,666.
Unfortunately Ozzy’s presence is not part of the package, so the happy couple will not be the lucky recipients of sage tips for a happy marriage from the man himself, and that may be why, with less than a month to go, it’s still possible to snap up one of the packages - just be sure to tell your Mom about the dress code.
