Report: MTV Debating Whether To Show OZZY's Rehab

December 17, 2003

Jeannette Walls of MSNBC.com reports execs at MTV are debating whether to show Ozzy Osbourne's extensive rehabilitation following an all-terrain vehicle accident on the next season of "The Osbournes". "We already went through Sharon Osbourne's recovery from cancer," laments an insider. "We don't want [the show] to become 'General Hospital'."

Also influencing the decision, says another source, are recent revelations that Osbourne has been heavily medicated during much of the taping of the series. "It sort of undermines the humor when you realize that all this doddering and stammering isn't the after affects of drugs he took twenty years ago," says the source, "but prescription drugs."

"I know there are cameras around, whether or not they are actually filming is something that MTV would decide with the family," an MTV spokesman told MSNBC.com. "Clearly we want Ozzy to get better. That comes first."
