OZZY OSBOURNE is planning an on-stage reunion with his ex-BLACK SABBATH bandmates - almost 30 years after he was axed from the band.
The Prince of Darkness was sacked as the band’s frontman in 1979 because of his drug abuse, but Osbourne is hoping the band could reunite and produce one last album.
He tells MTV, "I’m still on for an album and a tour with them, but we have no (new material). It would be so easy for us to get in and out of a studio and make an album. But if it’s not up to the par of when I left, why do it? It will destroy the f**king legacy of Black Sabbath, and the legend of Black Sabbath. "I haven’t dropped the idea, because (guitarist) Tony (Lommi) and I are talking alright about it. I haven’t abandoned the idea. We have repaired some of the damage between each other, and now, I’d like to do a really good f**king Black Sabbath album."

Rap superstar 50 CENT has been blasted by a religious group for wearing a cross around his neck.
The Candy Shop star - real Curtis Jackson - has been branded a "Satanist" by American Christian group The Resistance and ordered to remove the religious symbols, reports AllHipHop.com.
Group founder Mark Dice says, "50 Cent is not Christian and if you listen to his lyrics it becomes clear that he is more of a Satanist than anything.
"He is defaming the cross and committing blasphemy by wearing it while he raps about killing people for no reason… I think a large diamond studded platinum satanic pentagram would be a little more fitting." 50 Cent’s manager Chris Lighty add, "We aren’t aware of this absurd request.
They should look up our charitable deeds before casting a stone."

The US artist - who famously pictured John Lennon naked and hugging Yoko Ono for the cover or Rolling Stone magazine just hours before his assignation in 1980 -shot the queen looking demure and elegant at Buckingham Palace.
Her Majesty is shown sitting on a gilt chair in the palace’s White Drawing Room, wearing a crown, ornate jewellery and a lavish white gown with a white fur stole.
The queen is portrayed gazing out of the open balcony window with daylight cast on her face, as a dark cloud looms over the palace gardens.
Leibovitz said she was inspired by a picture taken of the Queen Mother by Cecil Beaton.
She said: ‘I like tradition. Cecil Beaton’s pictures - they’re very important to me. I feel like it’s a documentation and I was not take a very simple portrait.’ The publication of the picture comes just days ahead of the queen’s first official royal visit to the US in 16 years.
The serene portrait is in stark contrast to Leibovitz’s other work.
She has previously snapped actress Whoopi Goldberg in a bath of milk, Clint Eastwood bound with ropes, comedienne Roseanne Barr mud wrestling, Kate Winslet dunked in a water tank and a heavily pregnant nude Demi Moore.

The royal brothers will share their innermost thoughts on the loss of their mother Princess Diana, their Army careers and the pressures of life in the spotlight in an interview with popular US chat show ‘Today’. Presenter Matt Lauer travelled to London to record the chat with the princes last week. Matt told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: ‘They were enjoyable, nice, wonderful, warm, normal.
‘They were quite open and they talked a lot about their mom and about the pressures they face, the exposure and the over-exposure and their quest for normalcy. ‘They treat it like the Holy Grail. They don’t think they’ll ever be able to attain it.’ A US source added: ‘The young men speak frankly about everything - their mother’s untimely death, Harry’s going to war in Iraq and how they feel about the paparazzi.’ The revealing interview is set to be aired to coincide with the Concert for Diana on July 1.
The star-studded tribute show at London’s Wembley Stadium has been organised by the princes to mark the tenth anniversary of their mother’s death.
William, 24, and Harry, 22, have both recently been the subject of intense media interest.
Harry’s decision to go to Iraq to fulfil his duties with his Blues and Royals regiment became the focus of international debate. When William broke up with long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton last month the news made headlines the world over. Their mother Diana - who died in a fatal Paris car crash in August 1997 while being pursued by paparazzi - was the most-photographed female in history.

The ‘Smile’ singer, who was still a schoolgirl when Diana was killed in a Paris car crash in 1997, was taken to watch the princess’ funeral procession in London by her actor father Keith Allen.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: ‘I was shocked to see Keith standing next to me with his kids at the funeral. ‘Some reporters tried to talk to him but he told them it was a private moment. As the coffin passed, Lily was quite upset.’ It was confirmed last week that 22-year-old Lily was set to join the line-up for the Concert for Diana on July 1.
The feisty pop star joins a host of performers set to feature in the commemorative show, including Natasha Bedingfield, Rod Stewart, Kanye West, Sir Elton John and Take That. The star-studded event has been organised by Diana’s sons Princes William, 24, and Harry, 22. The royal brothers have been planning the tribute show since last year, to coincide with the tenth anniversary of their mother’s death.

Sir George Pinker died at the age of 82 after a long illness on Sunday (30.04.07).
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace said the queen was ‘very sad’ to learn of the surgeon’s death.
Sir Pinker, who delivered nine royal babies, was head consultant at the private Lindo wing at west London’s St Mary’s Hospital, where he attended the births of Princes William and Harry.
Liz Campbell, director of Wellbeing for Women, said: ‘It is with great sadness that we learnt the news that Sir George Pinker had passed away following a long illness.
‘He was an exceptional man and a great supporter of the charity in its early days as Birthright. Our thoughts are with his family and many friends.’ Sir Pinker - who is survived by three sons and a daughter - was appointed to the royal post in 1973.
In 1974 he delivered his first royal baby, the Earl of Ulster, son of the queen’s cousin the Duke of Gloucester and his wife.
When he stepped down in 1990, the queen made him a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order.

Charles called for action yesterday (01.05.07) while speaking at a summit for more than 1,200 business chiefs at St James’s Palace.
He told powerful bosses from the likes of Barclays Bank and British Airways: ‘When I was serving in the Royal Navy mayday, mayday, mayday was the distress call we used in cases of emergency. It still is, and this is an emergency we face. If the scientific consensus is right we need to act very rapidly indeed.’ The eco-friendly royal went on to compare the fight against global warming with the Second World War.
He said: ‘We can do it. Just think what they did in the last war. Things that seemed impossible were achieved almost overnight.’ The prince’s call for action was beamed to other countries via video-link, and by the end of the day more than a thousand companies had pledged to work with employees, suppliers and customers to reduce their carbon emissions.
In January, Prince Charles received an award for his work on environmental causes from Harvard Medical School’s Center for Health and the Global Environment.

The pop singer thrilled fans at the San Diego House of Blues with a surprise 14-minute set of her biggest hits last night (01.05.07).
A source told People magazine: "This is just the beginning for Britney. It is kind of a warm up. That’s probably the best way to describe it." Britney - dressed in a white pleated miniskirt and pink bra, and sporting a brown wig - performed ‘Toxic’, ‘…Baby One More Time’ and ‘Slave 4 U’.
The show featured swift costume changes, several backing dancers and a lot of smoke effects.
Fans snapped up tickets for the night advertised as a performance by The M+M’s following speculation it was actually Britney who would be taking to the stage.
She is set to make several other appearances this week, including California’s House of Blues in Anaheim tonight (02.05.07), the Los Angeles House of Blues tomorrow (03.05.07) and the House of Blues Las Vegas inside Mandalay Bay on Sunday (06.05.07).
Owner of Hollywood’s Millennium Dance Complex, where Britney has been intensively training for the past month, revealed the 25-year-old has been working on material resembling her earlier hits.
Robert Baker said: ‘They’ll be in the style we are all used to, the pop thing. But she’s got bigger plans brewing, with music and dancing that’s a break from her old stuff. She’s really excited about that.’ Rumours Britney was set to make her pop comeback have been rife for days. Last week, the singer was due to perform at Hollywood’s Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce club, but the show was cancelled at the last minute. Britney’s last live performance was her Onyx Hotel Tour in June 2004. Since then, she has married and filed for divorce from Kevin Federline, given birth to two sons, shaved her head and entered rehab.

The actor has revealed preparing for his role as professional poker player Huck Cheever in ‘Lucky You’ helped him pick up some useful tips. Eric told the USA Today newspaper: "I got pretty good at poker. You can tell when someone is bluffing by how they place the bets more than any mannerisms or tics. It’s whether they are confident or not when they’re placing them. That’s how you can really tell." The 38-year-old ‘Munich’ star can relate to his character’s competitive streak. Eric said: "I can get pretty competitive when I’m in the moment, yes. But this is a father-son love story. I like the scene where he lets his father win. It goes against the mythology where the father lets the son win." Eric - who has a son Klaus, seven, and a five-year-old daughter Sophia, with wife Rebecca Gleeson - recently crashed his car into a tree. The handsome actor said: "I’m totally fine. I was racing with my best mate. We hit a tree. If we had hit it from the side, it could have done some damage. I was more bummed that a car I had spent two years restoring was totalled.
"It was incredible that it made the news all over the world. I crashed a Porsche six years ago and no one cared." Eric is currently shooting ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ with ‘Mean Girls’ beauty Rachel McAdams.

Franco, who plays Harry Osborn in the superhero franchise, says he has seen a new side to Maguire since the arrival of his daughter Ruby in November.
Franco told People magazine: "It’s strange, because I’ve known Tobey about six or seven years, and to see him grow over those years, I’m really proud of him. "He seems like he’s an excellent dad. He’s completely consumed with that child." Ruby and Maguire’s fiancée Jennifer Meyer have accompanied the actor all over the world while he promotes ‘Spider-Man 3′.
Franco is not the only one impressed by Maguire’s parenting skills.
Rosemary Harris, who plays the web-slinging hero’s Aunt May in the comic book movies, describes the 31-year-old as a "natural father".
She added: "Ruby looks just like Tobey. She’s a happy little baby with her dimples.
"He’s a kind, loving person. The baby seems to be travelling well. Jennifer looks radiant.
"It’s lovely having a baby with you on tour. It’s easier at that age, and I think it’s wonderful that they’re bringing Ruby with them."

Bach attended a hearing regarding the couple’s bitter divorce battle at a Los Angeles County court on Tuesday morning (01.05.07).
Bach said outside the court: ‘There is emotional abuse, verbal abuse, and if I didn’t have a restraining order there would be physical abuse.’ Bach’s new lawyer Debra Opri has also claimed Hasselhoff’s alcoholism caused serious problems in the marriage.
When asked why she had hired a new attorney, Bach said: "Debra is a winner, and I’m sick of being abused.’ Hasselhoff’s representative claims Bach was forced to hire a new lawyer because of her "inconsistent behaviour".
The representative said: ‘Mr. Hasselhoff continues to fulfil his obligations to his former wife and their children and as a result they continue to maintain the same lifestyle they were accustomed to.
"Unfortunately, his ex-wife continues to use the press and the children as a tool to present herself as a victim. She has had no less than nine sets of attorneys who have all let her go due to the inconsistency of her behaviour.’ Hasselhoff added: ‘I have the respect of my daughters and my fans and most importantly my self respect. I will continue to keep my personal life private for the sake of moving on and living a happy life with my children.’ Opri represented Larry Birkhead in the custody battle for the late Anna Nicole Smith’s baby, Dannielynn. Birkhead was proved to be the biological father after a DNA test.

Tommy Lee is buying a luxury Dubai island for ex-wife Pamela Anderson. The Mötley Crüe drummer has decided to buy ‘Greece’ in The World project - a manmade archipelago of 300 islands in the shape of the world currently being built off the Dubai coast.
Tommy is hoping he and Pammie - who have been divorced for nine years - can spend time there with their two sons. The 44-year-old rocker told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: "I’ve been doing a lot of research on Dubai property and The World project. "We’re going to buy Greece because I’m Greek originally. Pammie actually turned me on to the whole thing. "Life is good now because I’m seeing my boys again." Pammie married Tommy in 1995. The couple divorced in February 1998, after Tommy was convicted of domestic abuse charges. The former ‘Baywatch’ star later claimed she had contracted hepatitis C from a needle she had shared with Tommy. The pair have recently healed their long-term rift for the sake of their sons, Brandon, 10, and Dylan, nine.
Pammie, 39, married US musician Kid Rock last summer but they split four months in November. Dubai has become a hotspot for the rich and famous – with the likes of David and Victoria Beckham already owning holiday homes there.

ALEC BALDWIN has been dubbed a bully by the movie producer who first introduced him to ex-wife KIM BASINGER.
DAVID PERMUT, who directed both stars on 1991 movie The Marrying Man, claims Baldwin’s recent controversial voicemail rant at Ireland, his 12-year-old daughter with Basinger, reminded him of the stress the actor caused on the film’s set.
He tells PageSix, "It all kind of brings it to the surface again for me personally. If I were homeless on the streets and had a tin cup in my hand and somebody pulled me off the sidewalk and offered me a script to produce with Alec Baldwin committed to starring in it, I’d pass." Permut also claims Baldwin only succeeds playing characters close to his own - citing his critical success as a difficult boss on small screen hit 30 Rock.
He says, "When he plays a no-good f**k, he excels. My personal feeling is that when he has to portray anybody with some vulnerability and sensitivity, I don’t think the audience buys it."

BRITNEY SPEARS took to the stage for the first time in almost three years last night (01May07) - but the California show was dogged with speculation she mimed her songs to overcome nerves.
Wearing a brunette wig, boots, a pink bra top and a short white skirt, Spears kicked off her brief five-song comeback at San Diego’s House of Blues with hit single Baby One More Time.
But while the packed audience, who had paid upward of $125 (£62.50) per ticket, seemed largely impressed with the gig, some were disappointed the Toxic star appeared to have mimed throughout the set.
Fan Morgan Segall, who had flown in from San Francisco for the concert, says, "It looked like she lip-synched her way through the whole thing." The gig had been advertised as unknown band The M+Ms but internet gossip sites were rife with rumours the name was a cover for the troubled pop princess.
In all, the show lasted just under 20 minutes, but The M+Ms have two other concerts scheduled at House of Blues venues in Southern California - one in Anaheim tonight (02May07) and the other tomorrow (03May07) in West Hollywood, according to the club’s website.
Earlier this year (07), Spears told fans of her plans for a career comeback in a posting on her own website, writing, "I look forward to coming back this year bigger and better than ever." She is reportedly recording her fifth album.

Actor NICOLAS CAGE is on the move - to one of Britain’s most desirable addresses.
The actor is reportedly in the final stages of securing an 18th century townhouse in Bath, Somerset which once belonged to the English aristocracy.
The former home of the Earl of Chatham forms part of a curved millionaires’ row called The Circus and boasts six bedrooms and an indoor swimming pool.
One neighbour says, "We’re told he has bought it, but I don’t think he’s completed the sale yet. Our daughter saw him in The Circus six months ago." The Lord Of War star already owns several properties in Los Angeles, a castle in Germany and an island in the Bahamas.

BEYONCE KNOWLES’ manager father MATHEW has dismissed claims he is angry with R&B star NE-YO for claiming he wrote the pop sensation’s number one hit, Irreplaceable.
Ne-Yo recently hit out at Beyonce, claiming she had taken full credit for the song - which he insists they co-wrote.
He told MTV, "Apparently Beyonce was at a show somewhere and right before the song came on, she said: ‘I wrote this for my girls…’ The song is a co-write.
I wrote all the lyrics. Beyonce helped me with the melodies and the harmonies and the vocal arrangement, and that makes it a co-write." But Mathew Knowles insists there is no feud, telling the New York Daily News, "Today is the first day I learned I’m unhappy with Ne-Yo. I never knew he said that. He does deserve to share in the credit."
