SHARRON OSBOURNES MONEY FACTOR

Sharon Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne's wife Sharon will only take part in the next series of the U.K. talent competition The X Factor if her salary is doubled, according to reports. The rock matriarch, a judge on the British reality program since it began in 2004, has turned down TV bosses’ offer of $1.5 million and is said to be demanding a new contract, worth $2 million. A source at television network ITV tells British newspaper the News Of The World, "Sharon always pushes for the best deal." It was reported last year that the series creator Simon Cowell was ready to fire Osbourne following her scathing attack on fellow judge Dannii Minogue, who joined the show in its fourth season.
