He's expected to appear in Cook County court on Nov. 28 and in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" next year.
Ozzy show used to catch crooks
Ozzy Osbourne wants an apology from a sheriff . . . and he may have a point.
North Dakota Sheriff Paul Laney staged a pre-concert sting operation in Ozzy's name without his permission.
Ozzy claims his reputation was tarnished (is that possible?) when Laney invited 500 people with outstanding warrants to a phony party at a Fargo nightclub before the rocker's nearby concert with Rob Zombie. More than 30 showed up and were arrested.
"Instead of holding a press conference to pat himself on the back, Sheriff Laney should be apologizing to me for using my name in connection with these arrests," Ozzy said in a statement.
"It is insulting to me and to my audience and it shows how lazy this particular sheriff is when it comes to doing his job," he said.
Laney countered that it's his job to arrest people with outstanding warrants.
He said mentioning Ozzy's name in the invitations was no different than a bar advertising a Super Bowl party by mentioning the teams playing in the game.
Huh? A more apt analogy is that it's like a bar advertising a Super Bowl party when it has no intention of airing the Super Bowl and just wants you to show up so you can be arrested.
But if it works . . .
One man's talk silences another
For Don Imus to return to the airwaves in New York, some other voice had to be quieted. That voice was crusading attorney Ron Kuby - one of the few left-wingers able to garner any radio ratings success.
"One of the odder aspects of this is that Imus makes a racist comment, and the damage is done to a civil rights lawyer," Kuby said, canned at WABC-AM after an eight-year run.
