Sharon Osbourne celebrated her 57th birthday last night at The Late Late Show with hubby Ozzy Osbourne. I know it can’t possibly be just me who thinks they are one of the most romantic couples ever. Sure, they’ve been through it between Ozzy’s drug problems, Sharon’s weight loss and cancer and their three troublesome kids, but I feel like the fact that they’re still so close and lovey dovey shows that none of that seems to matter two the two of them. Check them out in the gallery smooching and holding hands for the paparazzi (and how good does that puppy dog cake look?)

I haven’t gotten around to watching the new Osbournes variety show yet (not that I was ever planning to), but the early reviews are god-awful.

Says Entertainment Weekly:

On The Osbournes: Reloaded, Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly, and Jack were just pathetic. No wonder Fox kept chopping this proposed hour-long “variety show” into an ever-smaller size before airing it. The network is supposed to air five more Reloadeds. Don’t hold your breath. Or maybe, do hold your breath: The stink of this show will last a long time.

Thus far, Fox affiliates in Panama City, Milwaukee, Cincinatti, Knoxville, Kansas City and Utah have elected to either not carry the show or air it after midnight rather than in its suggested post-Idol time slot.

And from the reviews, it sounds like these affiliates aren’t being prudish, the show is just REALLY awful and offensive. But not in a creative and envelope-pushing way, just plain old gross for the sake of being gross.

Fox was originally going to air five more episodes of the show in the fall, but somehow I doubt that’s going to happen at this point. Heads are gonna roll for this at Fox.

So is it over now? Is the Osbournes thing finally over now? Has our national love affair with these people at last signed the divorce papers? Can we, America, please be the strong ones in this relationship, and end it once and for all, so that the Osbournes can heal and move on?

Ozzy Osbourne and Steven Tyler remind us why they used to be rock stars. Ozzy’s at the VH1 Rock Honors in Vegas, and Tyler’s at the Cove Atlantis opening. Rock and roll will never die, guys, but you will.
