According to Celebuzz.com, legendary rock couple OZZY and SHARON OSBOURNE have listed their Los Angeles mansion for a whopping $50,000 a month. The couple originally listed the home for sale for nearly $13 million in July 2011, however, the massive house – which is nestled in the suburb of Hidden Hills, Calif. – has fallen victim to the real estate market lull. So, the Osbournes are going to Plan B, according to Trulia.
The couple bought the 11,000 square foot Cape Cod-inspired home five years ago for about $12.4 million. But for a fraction of that, the lucky renter will get six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms and a whole lot of space.

Amelia Waters of GuitarWorld.com recently conducted an interview with legendary bassist Rudy Sarzo (OZZY OSBOURNE, QUIET RIOT, WHITESNAKE, DIO, ANIMETAL USA). An excerpt from the chat follows below.
GuitarWorld.com: You were good friends with Randy Rhoads [late OZZY OSBOURNE/QUIET RIOT guitarist], who died in 1982. Do you still see his influence today — and do you still think about him?
I think about him enough to have to sit down and write a book to answer the No. 1 question I get asked around the world: What was it like to play with Randy Rhoads? He’s such an influential musician even today, 30 years after his passing. The way I put it is, in any post-Randy Rhoads guitar player, I always hear some kind of influence in their performance, even in their compositional style. Every time I receive an email or a message on Facebook or whatever, from kids, young guitar players, 10, 14 years old, they say, “Man, I discovered Randy Rhoads. He’s my favorite guitar player.” That really touches me because it’s great to hear a new generation giving Randy the credit he deserves for being the well where most guitar players drink from. He has influenced generations and still does. So do I think of Randy every day? Of course I do. We all do. All of us that got to know him and perform with him. We have that common. We’ll never lose that bond, that thread, our admiration toward Randy as a musician and as a friend.
GuitarWorld.com: A long time ago, you were feuding with Ozzy and a few other people. Is all that in the past now?
Yes, yes. Silly things happen. If you look at the big picture, you look more at what we have in common than what we have not. At the end of the day, that’s what always takes precedence. As a matter of fact, I’ll be doing a lot of interviews on behalf of Ozzy and Sharon for the latest release of the “Speak Of The Devil” DVD. Everything is really wonderful between the Osbournes and me, which is the way it should be. Because if you ask me what the most significant group in my career was, it has to be being a member of the Ozzy Osbourne band. They gave me my first break, they took a chance on me, a complete unknown, just based on Randy‘s recommendation. If it wasn’t for them we would probably not be having this conversation. I owe my career to Sharon, Ozzy and Randy Rhoads.
Ozzy Osbourne and his wife/manager Sharon have offered their support to LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe as he fights a manslaughter charge in the Czech Republic.
In a post on her Twitter profile, Sharon ?wrote, “Please support former Ozzfest member Randy Blythe from LAMB OF GOD. ?Free Randy Blythe?.” Ozzy later re-tweeted the message on his own account.
Blythe remains behind bars in a Czech prison after the Prague State Attorney’s Office filed a complaint against the singer’s release on bail.
On Monday (July 9), the attorney’s office spokeswoman Štepánka Zenklová confirmed that the complaint was delivered to the Prague 8 district court this past Friday (July 6).
Zenklová told the Prague Daily Monitor that she could not specify the justification of the complaint. The Prague City Court will deal with it now.
The complaint was filed with a Prague district court that was in charge of the case. It is to pass the decision-making on the bail to the City Court.
The City Court can either meet the complaint and annul the bail or it can approve the release on bail, and then the Prague attorney would comment on it again, district court judge Petr Fassati said.
Blythe, 41, is accused of causing the fatal injury that occurred at LAMB OF GOD‘s May 24, 2010 show in Prague. The singer allegedly either pushed or struck a 19-year-old fan named Daniel N. — a guitarist in a local metal group — and that person died almost a month later of bleeding in the brain.
Randy has been charged with causing “bodily harm of the fourth degree, resulting in the death of a fan” and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
Sharon Osbourne broke down on on her show “The Talk” on Monday as she discussed son Jack‘s battle with multiple sclerosis. She also announced that her 26-year-old son — whose father is BLACK SABBATH singer Ozzy Osbourne — would make an appearance on the program on Wednesday to talk about his condition. Jack will also be a guest on “Piers Morgan Tonight” at 9 p.m. Thursday on CNN.
“Sharon, you have always been an open book with your life, with your family’s life, and right now there’s something going on with Jack,” said co-host Julie Chen as she opened the show.
“Jack will be here on Wednesday to talk about his diagnosis, but he’s great,” Sharon said. “He’s doing really, really good, and I want to thank everyone for all their texts and goodwill and love they’ve sent to us.
“Thank you to everyone for all their good wishes, it’s been amazing for Jack,” she continued.
“I really believe that vibes and prayer help, good energy … What I’m doing right now is not helping because I’m just feeling sorry for myself, and that is no good. So we have to think positively and get on with this show that we love!”
Jack Osbourne revealed in an interview with Hello! magazine that he was diagnosed with the incurable neurological disease — which attacks the brain and spinal cord — two weeks after he and fiancée Lisa Stelly welcomed their daughter, Pearl Clementine.
“I was just angry and frustrated and kept thinking, ‘Why now?'” he told Hello! “I’ve got a family and that’s what’s supposed to be the most important thing.”
“The timing was so bad,” he said. “I’d just had a baby, work was going great … I kept thinking: ‘Why now?’
“While I was waiting for the final results, I got really, really angry. Then I got really sad for about two days, and after that I realized: ‘Being angry and upset is not going to do anything at this point — if anything it’s only going to make it worse,'” he told Hello! “‘Adapt and overcome’ is my new motto.”
“I keep thinking, ‘What did I do wrong? What did I eat or drink when I was pregnant?'” Sharon told Hello! “I feel like it’s somehow my fault.”
Ozzy said: “If it was me, you’d think: ‘Ozzy had a reputation and it caught up with him’, but Jack is such a good guy.”
As reported yesterday by BBC News, THE OSBOURNES have revealed that son Jack has multiple sclerosis (MS).
According to Independent.ie, BLACK SABBATH star Ozzy and former X Factor judge Sharon have been stunned and are still struggling to come to terms with their son’s condition, which was confirmed by a neurologist last month.
Sharon said she has been questioning whether she is to blame. She added: “I keep thinking, ‘what did I do wrong? What did I eat or drink when I was pregnant?’ I feel like it’s somehow my fault.”
Ozzy said: “If it was me, you’d think: ‘Ozzy had a reputation and it caught up with him’, but Jack is such a good guy.”
MS can have a wide range of symptoms, including tiredness, temporary blindness, loss of co-ordination and speech difficulties.
It is unpredictable and affects everyone differently. One in five sufferers has a benign form with mild attacks and no permanent disability, while another 15% have a progressive disease that steadily worsens.
Jack Osbourne was diagnosed with the condition three weeks after the birth of daughter Pearl, now two months old.
“The timing was so bad,” he said. “I’d just had a baby, work was going great – I kept thinking: ‘Why now?'”
According to the Los Angeles Times, Ozzy Osbourne and his wife/manager Sharon have sold their oceanfront house in Malibu, California for $7.925 million. Listed at $10 million last year, the price had been reduced to $8.795 million.
Located on La Costa Beach, the home — which has been on the market since 2006 — was originally listed for $14 million.
The Osbournes originally bought the 4,500-square-foot home for $5.1 million in March 2003, and had reportedly been renting it over the years while holing up primarily in the Hidden Hills, California, home they bought in 2007. Source: Blabbermouth.net
