George Bush to sup with Ozzy

George Bush has invited Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne to dinner at the White House.

The US President is a fan of the MTV docusoap The Osbournes, which takes viewers into the rock star's Beverly Hills mansion.

"We have been invited to the White House to have dinner with the President, " said Osbourne. "I don't know why that is. I thought I'd be on a wanted poster up on the wall, not invited to his place for tea."

MTV cameras spent six months filming the 13-part fly-on-the-wall documentary.

The Osbournes is the most successful show in MTV's 20-year history, with ratings matching major US shows including Sex And The City.

Osbourne, 53, said: "What you see is what you get. Hand on my heart, there are no scripts and we don't rehearse our lines.

"It feels like every room is bugged with cameras. The only places out of bounds are the bathroom and my bedroom."

The Black Sabbath frontman - who has 13 solo albums under his belt - said: "I find myself sitting in the bath struggling to come to terms with the fact that I'm famous now."
