7:46:20 PM   Just in case you missed this in the last few days, seems that Ozzy's his wife pitched a reality show to MTV with none other than the Oz man himself.   This will definitely be worth the price of admission.  Some of the buzz: Sympatico.ca: "None of it's been doctored or manufactured. It's real. It's the Ozzy Osbourne Real World." CachedGoogle.com: On George Harrison's death: It's a pretty sad day, "Ozzy Osbourne says over the phone, somewhere - "I don't have a (expletive) clue" where - on the road in the "Merry Mayhem" tour. On Christmas: "I'm like the Grunge right now. Is it Grunge? Gringe." He gives up and gets to the point. "I (expletive) hate Christmas. The idea that everybody run up their credit cards, and spend all the money you made all year, it's crazy. ... I don't like it." "MTV is doing a 'Real World' kind of thing at my house, though it's just me," he says. "They're filming me picking up dog crap and trying to be a father, having the occasional bottle of wine. BBCNews: "What is a functional family? I know I'm dysfunctional by a long shot, but what guidelines do we all have to go by? The Waltons?" Back to the same CachedGoogle.com: And occasionally something profound slips out, "When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be done?" You either love him or hate him but we can all agree with Ozzy there is never a dull moment.  Coming to an MTV near you. March 5.

People in the Vatican had never seen anything like it. For us exorcists it is run of the mill," "I have seen many strange things...objects such as nails spat out. The devil told a woman that he would make her spit out a transistor radio and lo and behold she started spitting out bits and pieces of a radio transistor," "I have seen levitations, and a force that needed six or eight men to hold the person still. Such things are rare, but they happen,"
