War party: Debating Iraq at Ozzy's
Elizabeth Taylor and Justin Timberlake were the guests of honor at a benefit Elton John gave with Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne Wednesday night in L.A. But the names of two other well-known people were on everybody's lips: Bush and Saddam.
"We all discussed whether to move forward with this event tonight," Sharon told the crowd, which had gathered in the garden of her Beverly Hills home to support Elton's AIDS foundation and her own colon-cancer charity.
"We decided to continue because, war or no war, we are all fighting the war against AIDS and cancer," she went on. "At the same time, we should all say a big prayer for the American and British men and women who are risking their lives."
Taylor, who got a twinkly pinky ring from Elton, had to leave early because of a stomach virus - but not before saying exactly what she thought of the war.
"The thought sickens me beyond belief," she told us. "I was a refugee when I came to this country because of World War II. I listened to the radio all the time and thought, 'Why don't the Americans do something?' Now I think, 'What the [bleep] are the Americans doing by saying [to Saddam], 'Pack up your bags, mount a camel and get out of town!' What if someone said that to Bush?
"You don't think [terrorists] are going to retaliate? You don't think they're going to bomb the s--- out of us? It's going to be terrifying."
Tony Bennett, who performed, also recalled "the horror" he saw as an infantryman in WWII.
"That was a good war - it had to be done," he told us. "This isn't a good war. If the whole army isn't together, we're not going to win. I'm hurt by what's happening in this country."
Sly Stallone, there with wife Jennifer Flavin, showed none of Rambo's enthusiasm for battle.
"I've been on the fence about it," he said. "It's the first time America has gone after someone as a protective move. But I believe we have righteousness on our side."
Elton, who sported a diamond peace symbol on his lapel, said, "I'm not for the war. I love America. [But] you can't say you're against the war without being called a traitor. Now that the decision has been made, we have to hope that it will be quick."
Sharon Osbourne, feeling weak from a chemotherapy treatment, almost didn't make it down from her bedroom to mingle with the guests.
"I told her if she comes down those stairs, I'm going to chase her back up," Elton said.
She defied him, looking fantastic in a low-cut black gown.
"Sharon, I [bleeping] adore you," said Elton, forgiving her. He even confided that "My drag name is Sharon. So you get two Sharons for the price of one."
Doesn't she realize that this is precisely what the Iraqis have been thinking for 2 decades?!
that sounds a bit racist to me
no comment needed
I'd walk 5,000 miles to smoke a camel...
I think her prayers have been answered. Send this to these Jerks.

Liz, go home and nurse your "stomach virus," but just don't drive.
BTW, it was reported that Liz has fallen out with Michael Jackson because he called her to Neverland, but he wasn't there when she arrived. She was furious. He molests children and that is okay with her, but just let him have her make a burnt run, and she is furious.
Sure beats speaking German in London now, don't it Lizzy. You pathetic overweight has-been.
Perhaps, you'd much prefered an extended stay in Dachau?
Let's get the titles straight.
Stallone didn't seem to "shoot [his] mouth off". You are ruining my John Rambo imagery. Get off my cloud. I want to envision the "Covey Leader", Colonel Sam Troutman, telling the terrorists and the likes of Saddam:
You don't seem to want to accept the fact that you're dealing with an expert in guerilla warfare. With a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, to ignore weather, to live off the land. To eat things that would make a billy goat puke.
Sounds to me like Stallone is right on, just scared to speak up for the war. Hollywood elite would blacklist him and he doesn't need that the way his acting career has taken a turn.
Liz, do you recall 9-11? Do you recall anything?
"The thought sickens me beyond belief," she told us. "I was a refugee when I came to this country because of World War II. I listened to the radio all the time and thought, 'Why don't the Americans do something?' Now I think, 'What the [bleep] are the Americans doing by saying [to Saddam], 'Pack up your bags, mount a camel and get out of town!' What if someone said that to Bush?
Elizabeth Taylor you are one FAT ugly UNGRATEFUL broad .
I think you should STFU since without us your family would be another dole scamming British family.
Get lost b*tch! GO HOME! We don't want your fat arse!
Ditto. They are human debris; not worth the time it takes to listen or read.
They'll be together in 24-48 hours, Tony, in Baghdad.
You belong in San Francisco.
