Ozzy, Kelly to share stage Ozzy Osbourne will share a bill with his daughter Kelly for the first time this summer. Osbourne, former frontman for heavy-metal bashers Black Sabbath, will perform two shows in England as part of a European tour this fall. Kelly Osbourne, 18, will open for her father at both shows. "I couldn't be happier about doing my own dates in the U.K. and having Kelly on the bill with me," Osbourne said. After a career marked by wild excess, Osbourne has found new fame with MTV's The Osbournes, a reality TV show about the foul-mouthed, larger-than-life family. The show also made stars of his wife Sharon and teenage children, Kelly and Jack.

Scott starred with film greats
Martha Scott, who originated the role as the doomed Emily in the play Our Town and was nominated for a best-actress Oscar for repeating it in the 1940 film, has died. She was 90. She died Wednesday of natural causes in a hospital in the San Fernando Valley. Scott landed the bittersweet role of Emily, who dies in childbirth but returns to describe finding peace in death, in the original Broadway production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town in 1938. Her work in the film version brought her an Oscar nomination, but she lost to Ginger Rogers for Kitty Foyle. Scott appeared in more than 20 films, including The Howards of Virginia with Cary Grant, The Desperate Hours with Humphrey Bogart, and The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur, both with Charlton Heston.
Scott appeared in a number of television shows, including playing Sue Ellen Ewing's mother on Dallas and a mysterious grandmother in the soap opera General Hospital.
Streisand sues photgrapher
Barbra Streisand is suing an aerial photographer and his associates for $10 million US, claiming pictures they provide of her Malibu home violate her right to privacy. Photographer Kenneth Adelman, 39, his Web hosting service, Layer42.net, and Pictopia, a photo agency, were named in the suit. It alleges five counts of privacy intrusion, including violation of the state's anti-paparazzi act. The lawsuit asks that the defendants stop disseminating the photographs, which use "enhanced technology" and deprive Streisand "of the economic value of the use of the images of her property and residence."
