This from those music hounds at CMU:

Talking of Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's wife and manager has been booked to judge on the new reality music show 'The X Factor'. She will appear alongside Simon Cowell on the show where the judges advise as well as comment on the artists.

Talking about working with Cowell, Sharon told reporters last week: "He's in for it. They say that karma comes back to you in life, and I think this is his karma coming back to him by having to work with me.""

Sharon and Simon together, you would have been mad or very greedy to take on those two. It could make for good television, however.
