Sharon Osborne

OK, so that’s a slight exaggeration of what she actually said, but everyone else is swearing this week. And it’s also not that far off the sentiment of Sharon Osborne’s (wife of wild-man Ozzy) latest outburst, that was aimed directly at us.

Hey! Who are you calling smug, lady? Picture:AP.

Today’s Courier Mail reports that Osborne, while appearing as a judge of US show Celebrity Apprentice, wasted no time in voicing her opinion of Aussie chef Curtis Stone and then Australians in general.

Here’s how it happened:

Donald Trump to Sharon Osborne: “What do you think of Curtis Stone.”

Sharon Osborne: “He’s very smug.”

Cyndi Lauper: “He’s Australian!”

“Yeah, I know,” Osbourne responded. ‘Put another shrimp on the Barbie” . He is too smug for me”.

“Are all Australian’s like that?,” a surprised Ivanka Trump asked.

“Yeah, usually, yeah,” Osbourne responded.

Sharon could be pining for the good old days of colonial rule and would like to see us Aussies put back in our place. But I think she’s just plain rude.

What about you, what do you make of what she said. Are we smug?

Why does it always have to get down to being an immigrant or ignorant when stating the bleeding obvious/truth?  I am a full… Read more »
