Ozzy Osbourne's life ‘set to be charted in at least two rival documentaries'
Ozzy Osbourne's life is reportedly set to be charted in at least two rival documentaries. The Black Sabbath frontman, who died last month at the age of 76 following a battle with Parkinson's disease, is said to be the subject of both projects, which were apparently been filmed with unprecedented access to Ozzy and his family over the past three years. According to The Sun, they are set to chronicle the final months of the rock icon's wild life, with broadcasters BBC and Paramount+ thought to be racing to be the first to air their respective films this autumn. A television insider told The Sun: 'It's looking like the BBC might just pip Paramount+ to the post. But both are keen to be the first to get them out there because they understand just how hugely popular Ozzy was and how well received these shows will be. 'Of course, there's an element of competition, but their main priorities are producing two shows that are respectful and that the Osbourne family approve of.' Ozzy, born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham in 1948, rose to fame as the lead vocalist of Black Sabbath in the late 1960s, helping pioneer heavy metal music. He embarked on a successful solo career in the 1980s, becoming known as the 'Prince of Darkness'. His life was marked by highs and lows, including struggles with addiction, multiple health issues and a decades-long marriage to his manager and wife Sharon. Just 17 days before his death from a heart attack, Ozzy played a farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, in his hometown of Birmingham on 5 July. Paramount+ has announced its documentary, Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now is set to be 'a deeply personal portrait of the rock legend's harsh new realities and his wife Sharon's battle to take the stage for one final performance'. A BBC documentary on the rocker, said to have originally been titled Home to Roost, is reportedly focused on Ozzy's return to the UK after decades in Los Angeles. But according to The Sun, the broadcaster has yet to confirm a broadcast date or if the title has changed. Sony is also said to be developing a biopic about Ozzy's life, though that film is not expected to air until next year. Ozzy's son Jack Osbourne, 39, who supported his mother Sharon at the rocker's funeral, said in a tribute to his father: 'I was so lucky and blessed to be a part of a very small group that got to call him 'Dad'. My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing.'

Fitzy and Wippa spill on their worst celebrity interviews
Nova hosts Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald and Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli have dished the dirt on their worst celebrity encounters over the years. The Sydney radio duo revealed one particular chat with a global music star went so bad, they refused to get a photo with him. Fitzy and Wippa's producer, Tom Ivey, recalled the pair's trainwreck interview with 'one-hit wonder' Taio Cruz, the UK singer who hit the top of the charts with his 2010 dancefloor song Dynamite. 'The one you got most upset about was Taio Cruz, and he refused to take off his sunglasses,' Ivey said on-air Thursday, adding Cruz was giving 'one word answers.' 'Then you [Ivey] introduced him as 'Tayo' and he said, 'It's Taio mate',' Wippa continued. Fitzy added, 'At the end of the interview, he wound it up quite quickly, and his publicity guy said, 'Can you guys get a photo?' And we went, 'Nah'.' Elsewhere on the list of their 'rude' interviews included none other than the notoriously icy Daniel Craig, who played James Bond in five films. 'Have we got the Daniel Craig audio there when Wippa interviewed him for James Bond? When he said he'd rather suck puss out of an abscess?' Fitzy asked. 'I reckon that was on a Saturday as well. On my weekend, I went to sit down with Daniel Craig and the annoying thing is, Daniel Craig thought he was James Bond in the interview,' Wippa said. 'Like, it's OK. You're an actor. You're playing a role Daniel. 'Not really a friendly guy the old Craig of Daniel, man with two first names.' Fellow Aussie radio star Beau Ryan also opened up about his painful A-list encounters as an interviewer, revealing on-air earlier this year he was left disappointed after talking to Melissa McCarthy. Speaking on Triple M's Beau, Tarsh & Woodsy, The Amazing Race host revealed the US actress was his worst famous interview to date, describing her as 'prickly' during their chat several years ago. 'What I found is, the higher profile the talent, the easier the interview was. And what would happen, usually when I travelled to the states, you'd fly all the way over for four-minute interviews, [so] there was a lot of pressure on it,' Ryan said. 'I would usually go after Fitzy and Wippa, and they'd give me a heads-up if anyone was a problem. And I remember years ago I was in LA interviewing Melissa McCarthy, who I'm a fan of, right? I think she's funny. 'As I'm walking in, Fitzy gave me the eyes and whispers, 'She's a problem.'' Elaborating on their brief interview, Ryan described the Bridesmaids star as 'difficult'. '[She gave] short answers, didn't want to be there, gave me nothing,' he continued. 'You feel uncomfortable. It was disappointing. 'We see them play these funny, likeable characters and we picture them as having that persona and personality, so when they don't, we're let down. 'I've seen her [McCarthy] do some wonderful interviews, but I've seen her do a lot of trainwrecks as well.'
