Sharon Osbourne

Celebrity bio

She's brought new meaning to the phrase "housewife superstar" for the 21st century, but that phrase is only a foreword to the book of Sharon Osbourne's life.

Here's a woman who's all about empowerment, without any of the tokenistic acknowledgement of females that usually lurks behind that phrase. That's human empowerment, as in not taking no for answer, never taking any of life's mess lying down, and recognising tall brick walls but simply driving around them.

Sharon's autobiography, released in September 2005, was the voice of one of the most resilient and multi-faceted figureheads in the public consciousness. Not to mention possibly the most successful female businesswoman the entertainment world has ever fostered.

"Britain leads the way in fundraising. I am so proud of Britain."
