Dame Edna makes Osbourne blush
October 23, 2003 - 6:30PM
It takes plenty to make Sharon Osbourne blush and speechless but Dame Edna Everage did it on US television. The blushing began when Dame Edna presented Osbourne with a purse made out of kangaroo scrotum. The purple-haired Aussie diva then delivered a few wisecracks about Tom Cruise's height, Nicole Kidman's weight, Lenny Kravitz, Russell Crowe, Prince Charles and the Queen. It all happened on Osbourne's new US talkshow, filmed in front of a live studio audience in Los Angeles. Osbourne, the foul-mouthed wife of British rocker Ozzy and the star of the hit reality show The Osbournes, interviews her guests on stage in a king-sized bed. When Dame Edna arrived on the set of The Sharon Osbourne Show, the host was midway through interviewing 30-year-old Canadian-born actor Victor Webster, a part-timer on Sex and the City and a star on sci-fi TV series Mutant X. Osbourne had earlier encouraged Webster to remove all of his clothing except for a pair of boxer shorts. "I brought a little gift for you from Australia," Dame Edna, as she joined them on the bed, said to Osbourne. "This is a kangaroo scrotum made from a little wobbly bit."
Osbourne was laughing so hard at the purse, about the size of a large grapefruit, she was incapable of speaking. Webster chimed in: "It doesn't look very little."
Dame Edna responded: "Well, it's quite small by my standards."
Osbourne and the audience were still in hysterics when Dame Edna pulled out a packet of chocolates. "Do you like the soft ones or the hard ones Sharon?" Dame Edna asked.
Osbourne: "Hard."
