Tearful Sharon Osbourne Weighs Her Blessings

Nov. 25 -- Asked what she would be thankful for this Thanksgiving, Sharon Osbourne's steely exterior dissolved for a moment; the woman who has toughed out decades in the rock 'n' roll business had teary eyes.

"I'm thankful that I'm still alive, and I can appreciate everything that I've gotten, everything that's happened to us because I honestly, genuinely do," she told Good Morning America's Entertainment Correspondent Alex Cambert. "America has been very good to us."

Sharon Osbourne is married to heavy metal rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, and works as his business manager. Their latest gig is The Osbournes, an expletive-packed reality TV show that chronicles the lives of the couple, and their eccentric teenage children, Jack and Kelly.

After debuting in March, the show became MTV's all-time highest-rated show, and won an Emmy for the Best Reality TV show.

But off screen there has been sadness in the family's lives. Sharon, who turned 50 this year, was diagnosed with colon cancer over the summer, and though she has talked about it publicly with 20/20 host Barbara Walters, she had been keeping up a strong public front.

"And Barbara didn't make me cry, but you did," she told Cambert, laughing.

To make Sharon laugh again, Ozzy cracked a joke.

"She made me cry, Barbara did," Ozzy said. "She stood on me foot."

That’s News to Ozzy

Ozzy and Sharon recently celebrated their 20th anniversary, and Sharon Osbourne told GMA that the couple would be renewing their wedding vows at a special celebration on New Years Eve.

"We're going to do it properly," Sharon Osbourne said, explaining that there would be 600 people on the guest list.

"Six hundred people? You're kidding me," Ozzy said during the interview. "Where was my consultation about this?"

"It's a surprise for you," Sharon Osbourne replied.

"I'm not good at surprises," Ozzy said, stammering.

Since her illness, Ozzy — a rocker known for his wild concert performances — has shown his soft side.
