To think that Sharon Osborne overstepped the mark?

She's just said that her favorite thing about Luke Friend (who is 16) is 'his testicles'. AIBU to think that if Louis Walsh had said his favourite thing about Tamera (also 16) was her breasts, he'd face outcry?

Nicole has let everything go to her head, but I do think there is a difference between saying someone 'had balls' and saying that the thing you like best about someone is their testicles, especially when that someone is 16.

I can't stand her, such a bully, god knows why they brought her back, she looks like the bride of wildenstein.

I always remember her being so nasty to danni minogue on X factor that she made her cry on a live program.
What sort of bitch does that?

SparklyNewNameChange · 01/12/2013 08:58

It's am act. She was perfectly serious and coherent on Norton on Friday night when she was asked about leaving Ozzy, so I can only conclude that the ott 'daaahling' stuff is a calculated act. Having read both her previous autobiographies (from the library, I wouldn't say money!), she's very far from stupid, but I do think the leering is misjudged.

Ruffcat · 01/12/2013 09:44

She starting to share a resemblance with Dot Cotton

StealthPolarBear · 01/12/2013 09:47

has she left ozzy?
self destruct starts now I presume...

slendermen2222 · 01/12/2013 09:57

Sharon is Sharon ie a law unto herself. But! After her comments to the dancer who was told to dance next to Nicholas she is pushing her luck a little!

mrsWast · 01/12/2013 10:00

came here to say about her screeching 'pedophilia!!' over and over again the other week.

she is unpleasant to say the least. i look forward to rehab and a misery memoir from her next year. ugh.

She did sinister. It wasn't pleasant to watch.
I'm sure that's why she left xfactor, that and the fact she was shagging mr cowell!

Vivacia · 01/12/2013 10:50

One of my children asked why Nicole was shouting "Potato!" at Louis last night, that's what pissed me off.

Mignonette · 01/12/2013 10:53

I feel very sorry for her. There is something lost and pitiful about her. A woman screaming to be heard.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 01/12/2013 11:05

She's a foul woman. Completely up herself and too full of her own sense of self-importance.

I didn't like her the first time round on X Factor (referring to herself as 'Mummy' and perving over Shane Ward, bleurgh). Refused to watch it this year once I knew she was back. She makes everything into 'The Sharon Osbourne Show'. And yes to the way she treated Dannii Minogue. Kelly got involved too - the stuff they said about her in the press was revolting.

And the stuff I've read about her in other rock autobiographies (spitting in peoples' faces, kicking people in the balls, etc) and heard in about in interviews (repeated use of the F word at a live X Factor show in the break - where families are present) doesn't endear her to me anymore, I'm afraid.

Mignonette · 01/12/2013 11:13

She sent shit through the post to somebody once. And yes, her daughter is just as vile.

lolaisafuckertoo · 01/12/2013 12:26

MOther and daughter seem to have a one sided view of what bullying actually constitutes. pair of nasty bastards.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 01/12/2013 12:29

Lola

That's very true. They constantly pop up in glossy mags bleating about how Kelly gets bullied for her looks, then in the next breath go on to call other people really horrible names.

I think they need a dictionary for Christmas - and a desert island where they can fuck off and read for a few millenia!

lolaisafuckertoo · 01/12/2013 12:48

well, if the mother only a technical ligger, then the daughter has certainly fully embraced the coat tails aspect of "fame". there were the "songs", "fashion designing range", varying levels of desperation and of course blaming the world for bullying. oh dearie me. the pair of them paddling to stay on top of a storm tossed sea of "what the fuck do I actually bring to life"

valiumredhead · 01/12/2013 12:49

I love Kelly on The Fashion Police!

Heartbrokenmum73 · 01/12/2013 12:52

Is that a show where celebrities rip into other celebrities about what they're wearing?

Yeah, Kelly would be right at home on something like that Hmm

lottieandmia · 01/12/2013 12:54

Shock did she say that, really?? YANBU but I thought she looked drunk or on drugs or something - the way she was talking was most odd throughout.

ihatethecold · 01/12/2013 12:59

My brother went to the results show last weekend.
He said that Sharon was constantly getting her hair and make up done during every break,
He said her minions hovered around her like flies.

lottieandmia · 01/12/2013 13:02

What did she say to Dannii? I must have missed that.

Dubjackeen · 01/12/2013 13:33

Didnt see the programme, but yeuch, what a stupid remark to make!

ImperialBlether · 01/12/2013 13:58

It wasn't just that. She was asked who her favourite was and she said Luke, that she'd like to put him up on top of the TV (like an ornament.) I thought that wasn't nice - he's short and I don't think it's nice to refer to him like that, but then she muttered to Louis "I think he's still a virgin." And then she was asked what she liked most about him and she replied, "His testicles."

I've just made my first OFCOM complaint. With all the seediness now associated with show business now, it's time people who make comments like that are stamped on.

ZombieMonkeyButler · 01/12/2013 14:05

Eww - I missed this last night but from what ImperialBlether has posted, it just sounds really horrible!

I wonder what his mum thinks about an older woman saying that of her 16 year old son! I have a 16 year old son & wouldn't like it one bit.
