Sharon Osbourne!

All right, I'm so thrilled that you're here.

And I just think the world of you.

I love how honest you are.

You say what you feel and what you think.

And I love that about you.

Listen, Mrs. It's like this to you.

I'm really not worthy to be here.

Oh, come on now.

No. Stop it, stop it, stop it.

But all right, so let's talk about you just, because you know I love real estate.

Yes.

I follow everything that's going on in real estate, because I like houses a lot.

So whenever, all right, anyway, you sold your house.

Does everybody know who bought her house?

It's been in the news everywhere.

I don't.

Christina?

Yeah.

Lovely Christina.

Christina Aguilera bought the Osbournes house.

Yes.

What is wrong with her?

I mean, like, your house is a tourist stop.

When you pass your house, there's people just outside 24 hours a day taking pictures of it.

But you see, I get it.

She's just a young girl.

She's 25.

You know, newly married.

She's having a baby.

She's right in the center of everything.

She needs to be in the center.

She's got a fabulous career.

She needs to be near the action.

And it was a house that had a lot of love in it.

And I think that with her starting her family, it's like good karma for her.

No, not that it's not good.

Yeah, no. But you know what?

She, I have to be truthful.

You know I have to.

And I did ask her to come and see the house at times when I knew the tour buses weren't there.

See?

And I know the house you bought.

And somebody was telling me to buy that house.

But I didn't want to live that far out.

But it's supposed to be an amazing house.

It is.

And it's got land.

And it's got a great view.

And I'm like, yes.

You need land.

You have, how many dogs do you have?

16. OK.

That's legal?

No, it's not.

You have to have a breeder's license, which I do have.

But you don't breed.

Now, they've all got the stick.

Yeah.

But I had to have a breeder's license to have that many.

Now, and where do they sleep?

With the mama.

They do.

They sleep with me.

16. And my hubby.

You and your husband and 16 dogs.

Yes.

Because the bigger ones that we have sleep on the chairs in the bedroom.

And the little ones, we saw this advert on the telly.

And it had these stairs that you get for dogs.

Yeah.

And they go up the stairs and they can get on the bed.

So we've got three of them, one either side and one at the end.

And they come up in position, because they've all booked their spot.

Sharon, you're rich enough to have escalators.

You don't need stairs on the side of your bed.

But everybody's doing great.

I mean, the family is doing really, really well.

Oh, yes.

Right?

Oh, yeah.

I mean, I think the Kellys, she's in London right now?

She's in London.

She's playing the part of Mama Morton in Chicago.

She's the youngest girl to ever do that part.

Wow.

And she's doing good reviews, doing well.

She did.

Yeah.

She got great reviews.

Because I thought to myself, you know when you put yourself in that position, people are out to get you.

Yeah.

And I'm like, first night I cried because I was terrified.

And I was like, you know, a wreck.

And she pulled it off.

She did.

Well, it's amazing because we say everything's quiet right and everything is quiet and everybody's doing great in your family.

But there's this, do you call it a feud going on with Courtney, love?

100

Is it a feud?

101

Or is it?

102

All right.

103

Do we not talk about it?

104

No, the thing is she's out of her league when it comes to the mama.

105

Yeah, I would.

106

Very.

107

Hey.

108

You know?

109

So for those of you who don't know, and I think any mama out here would have the same stance.

110

There's nothing like what you're mad about is allegedly, I'll say allegedly, you can say the rest,

111

Courtney gave your son Jack drugs when he was 15 years old.

112

So any mama out there would probably do the same thing.

113

And she's saying she didn't.

114

She's saying he gave her drugs.

115

And then she's kind of saying other things.

116

And it's just like, listen, Mrs. You're out of your league.

117

I'll kick your raggedy ass.

118

And you know what?

119

I'm glad you don't like the Osbournes.

120

Thank god you don't like the Osbournes, because I mean, you're in trouble if she likes you.

121

It's like, uh-oh.

122

So it's like, hey, Mrs, don't come near.

123

All right, yeah, I can't imagine.

124

I wouldn't want to mess with you at all.

125

I'm glad you like me.

126

And I like you.

127

I truly do.

128

All right, so now we have to take a break.

129

But when we come back, I can't wait to hear what you have to say about Britney

130

and what's going on with her because I know you have an opinion about it.

131

We'll be right back.

132

The one and only Sharon Osbourne.

133

And so because you have a lot of experience with this, I would think you have some thoughts and opinions about what Britney is going through.

134

And what do you think?

135

What are your first thoughts about Britney Spears?

136

My heart goes out to her.

137

She's a very young woman.

138

She's been successful her entire life.

139

This girl has worked herself to death.

140

I mean, I've seen her schedules

141

that she's done year after year after year of touring and recording and you know what goes along with it.

142

And this girl has never taken a break until she got married and then she took a break.

143

She had two babies.

144

And I think that a bit of it was, you know, she's got time off.

145

She's trying to be a teenager again because she wasn't allowed to be a teenager because of her career.

146

But I think that she's lost the plot.

147

She needs help.

148

And I think that she's just got to get herself away from LA.

149

She's got to get out of this town, go away, get some therapy.

150

And she's going to come back, and she's going to be the Britney that we love and know.

151

And I just wish that people would give her a break.

152

I feel so bad for her.

153

Yeah.

154

People are obsessed on that stuff.

155

You know, and I feel like I feel the same way you do.

156

I feel like she, this girl, has grown up and she's been scrutinized.

157

And she does need to go away.

158

She needs to stop for a little while and reassess.

159

Go away.

160

And would you manage her?

161

I wouldn't manage her, but I would help her.

162

I would help her get her life back on track.

163

And I would give her a shoulder to cry on and support and advice.

164

But the most important thing is not her career.

165

It's her as a mom.

166

And she's got to just, that should be her main focus.

167

You can always make a record.

168

Right.

169

You know?

170

Yeah.

171

Yeah, those kids need to have some stability.

172

I hope for her as a mother, and I hope for the kids to be able to have a mom back.

173

I mean, this is really sad for the kids.

174

It's sad.

175

It's terrible, terrible.

176

It's heartbreaking to see it happen.

177

And it happens in front of your eyes.

178

And when you look at it, she's left her family.

179

She's left a mom, a sister, a dad, her husband's gone.

180

Who does she have?

181

She's just got herself and whatever she's doing to herself.

182

And it's heartbreaking to see.

183

I don't like it.

184

She's got to find some really positive, wonderful people that are going to steer her in the right direction instead of surrounding herself with party people

185

that are going to end.

186

Yes, people that want to be seen with her.

187

Right.

188

She needs guidance.

189

She needs help.

190

I agree.

191

All right.

192

Well, let's talk about another thing I was saying during the break.

193

You look fantastic.

194

And to think that you went through colon cancer and had, you know, that was five years ago?

195

Five years ago, I was diagnosed, yeah.

196

And how did you come to find out that you had colon cancer?

197

I was tired all the time.

198

And I didn't know why.

199

And Ozzy kept on, go to the doctor, go to.

200

I'd fall asleep in the middle of meetings.

201

And he would be, go to the doctor.

202

I eventually went.

203

And they found out I was really badly anemic.

204

And they said, well, you've got to be bleeding from somewhere.

205

I'm like, you've got to be joking, not me.

206

You know, I've gone past all of that time of life.

207

And it ain't me.

208

And after tests, then they found out I had colon cancer.

209

But I was so ignorant, Helen.

210

I'm not making this up.

211

When they said colon cancer, I'm like, I don't have one.

212

I thought they were talking about prostrate.

213

I didn't know.

214

Right.

215

And I'm like, well, where is it?

216

What does it do?

217

Right.

218

And I was that ignorant.

219

And it's pathetic.

220

I know what a semicolon is.

221

And that's because I was pitching science.

222

I don't really know.

223

I'm like, now isn't that a guy that used to be in the government?

224

Yes, exactly.

225

Yes.

226

I mean, what the hell is that? And ignorance.

227

So that's why it's so important for all of you to be aware of paying attention to this.

228

What is it?

229

It's Frosted Pink?

230

I'm going to be hosting a show that airs next week called Frosted Pink.

231

And it's the first time that this event has happened.

232

And the show has been brought about to bring awareness to women.

233

So moms, sisters, wives, grandmas, it's for all of us.

234

All of us somewhere have been touched by cancer.

235

Great.

236

And it's called Frosted Pink.

237

And it's on Sunday, October 14th at 4 o'clock on ABC.

238

And Sharon, thank you for being here.

239

you

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
