KEY POINTS:

Feisty matriarch

Sharon Osbourne

is reportedly being investigated by police after allegedly attacking a contestant on a reality TV show.

Osbourne, who co-hosts VH1's

Rock of Love: Charm School

, is being investigated for minor battery following claims that she flipped out during a taping of the reunion show on Saturday.

The contestant, model

Megan Hauserman

, claims that Osbourne went ballistic and ran across a stage, grabbed her by her hair and refused to let go, reports

TMZ.com

Hauserman claims her injuries were severe enough to require hospitalisation.

Charming

It all reportedly kicked off after Osbourne made a snyde remark to bikini-clad Hauserman, 29, who retorted with a quip of her own - telling the star she was only

famous for "managing a brain-dead rock star".

Cue catfight.

The 'catfight' reportedly got so bad, security had to intervene and pull them apart.

Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Kate Lopez said:

"There was a battery incident that occurred on Saturday at about 11pm during the taping of the reality show.

"We cannot verify what Sharon Osbourne's involvement was but there was a report taken and detectives are investigating ... and detectives will do interviews to determine if charges should be filed."

Osbourne's mouthpiece declined to comment, as did VH1.

Ironically,

Rock of Love: Charm School

is a reality TV show that gives contestants the opportunity to embrace basic ladylike etiquette in a bid to win a cash prize. Looks like Osbourne could use a hefty dose of that charm herself.

UPDATE:

A snitch tells me that there's been bad blood between Osbourne and Hauserman long before this reunion show was taped. Figures. Hauserman was apparently booted off the show after four episodes for allegedly kicking a fellow contestant.

"She does have a pretty damn good body, but no f***** brain. Her brain is between her legs," Osbourne reportedly said at the time.

Jeez, tell her what you really think, Osbourne.

, Madonna gets right back in the saddle and does what she does best.

The granny of pop took to the stage in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, over the weekend during an almighty downpour. Needless to say that trotting around in high heels like a maniacal kitten with all that H2O around wasn't one of her better ideas.

Warning: contains swearing

I love the way she extends her leg upwards to make it look as though her tumble was all part of some clever choreography.

Quote of the day

"I have no talent. I really don’t. No one would have picked me to go into showbiz. I don’t have any talent. I’m not an entertainer and yet I have made my living in this industry. It’s a fluke."

Is this the point where we're supposed to contradict you, Jerry Springer?

He doesn't do people

Guns N' Roses

singer

Axl Rose

's refusal to do any promotional work to support his new album,

Chinese Democracy

, has set tongues wagging. Is he ill, or is he a tortured genius who insists his work must speak for itself? Probably the former.

Word is Rose suffers from anthropophobia - an affliction which reportedly leaves him with a pathological fear of people.

Reports say Rose has had this condition for years, but that it got progressively worse as the release of his 15-years-in-the-making CD drew nearer.

A snitch says that Rose "has fired his management company, Front Line, three times in four weeks. He hasn’t left his Los Angeles home in two months. He won't give interviews, won't do talk shows, or perform - which makes touring or promoting very difficult, obviously."

Say what you see

Actor

Jim Carrey

was recently asked if and how his life had been affected by the dreary economy.

His honest answer: "I'm not in a recession. I'm doing incredibly well. I don’t know - I just want to be honest, because I am really kicking a**. It’s so wonderful to have money."

Gold.

Sicko Jacko?

There's a wicked rumour doing the rounds that

Michael Jackson

is gravely ill and in need of a lung transplant.

The hugely unreliable

In Touch

magazine claims that Jacko is seriously ill and suffering from an illness called

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

, and that it's so severe he needs a lung transplant.

Award-winning investigative journalist Ian Halperin tells the mag: "Michael has a very severe lung condition called Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

"He’s had it for years but it's gotten worse. He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It's the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him."

So is it curtains for Jacko? Who knows. The answer my friend, as the great Joan Baez said, is blowing in the wind...
