1
Sharon Osbourne!
2
All right, I'm so thrilled that you're here.
3
And I just think the world of you.
4
I love how honest you are.
5
You say what you feel and what you think.
6
And I love that about you.
7
Listen, Mrs. It's like this to you.
8
I'm really not worthy to be here.
9
Oh, come on now.
10
No. Stop it, stop it, stop it.
11
But all right, so let's talk about you just, because you know I love real estate.
12
Yes.
13
I follow everything that's going on in real estate, because I like houses a lot.
14
So whenever, all right, anyway, you sold your house.
15
Does everybody know who bought her house?
16
It's been in the news everywhere.
17
I don't.
18
Christina?
19
Yeah.
20
Yeah.
21
Lovely Christina.
22
Christina Aguilera bought the Osbournes house.
23
Yes.
24
What is wrong with her?
25
I mean, like, your house is a tourist stop.
26
When you pass your house, there's people just outside 24 hours a day taking pictures of it.
27
But you see, I get it.
28
She's just a young girl.
29
She's 25.
30
You know, newly married.
31
She's having a baby.
32
She's right in the center of everything.
33
She needs to be in the center.
34
She's got a fabulous career.
35
She needs to be near the action.
36
And it was a house that had a lot of love in it.
37
And I think that with her starting her family, it's like good karma for her.
38
No, not that it's not good.
39
Yeah, no. But you know what?
40
She, I have to be truthful.
41
You know I have to.
42
And I did ask her to come and see the house at times when I knew the tour buses weren't there.
43
See?
44
And I know the house you bought.
45
And somebody was telling me to buy that house.
46
But I didn't want to live that far out.
47
But it's supposed to be an amazing house.
48
It is.
49
And it's got land.
50
And it's got a great view.
51
And I'm like, yes.
52
You need land.
53
You have, how many dogs do you have?
54
16. OK.
55
That's legal?
56
No, it's not.
57
You have to have a breeder's license, which I do have.
58
But you don't breed.
59
Now, they've all got the stick.
60
Yeah.
61
But I had to have a breeder's license to have that many.
62
Now, and where do they sleep?
63
With the mama.
64
They do.
65
They sleep with me.
66
16. And my hubby.
67
You and your husband and 16 dogs.
68
Yes.
69
Because the bigger ones that we have sleep on the chairs in the bedroom.
70
And the little ones, we saw this advert on the telly.
71
And it had these stairs that you get for dogs.
72
Yeah.
73
And they go up the stairs and they can get on the bed.
74
So we've got three of them, one either side and one at the end.
75
And they come up in position, because they've all booked their spot.
76
Sharon, you're rich enough to have escalators.
77
You don't need stairs on the side of your bed.
78
But everybody's doing great.
79
I mean, the family is doing really, really well.
80
Oh, yes.
81
Right?
82
Oh, yeah.
83
I mean, I think the Kellys, she's in London right now?
84
She's in London.
85
She's playing the part of Mama Morton in Chicago.
86
She's the youngest girl to ever do that part.
87
Wow.
88
And she's doing good reviews, doing well.
89
She did.
90
Yeah.
91
She got great reviews.
92
Because I thought to myself, you know when you put yourself in that position, people are out to get you.
93
Yeah.
94
And I'm like, first night I cried because I was terrified.
95
And I was like, you know, a wreck.
96
And she pulled it off.
97
She did.
98
Well, it's amazing because we say everything's quiet right and everything is quiet and everybody's doing great in your family.
99
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

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
