Ozzy Osbourne Snubs American Idol Duet With Sanjaya Malakar  5/30/07

Rocker Ozzy Osbourne pulled out of an appearance on American Idol because of a former contestant's hairstyle, according to reports.

The Black Sabbath star was slated to duet with Sanjaya Malakar at last week's (ends25May07) season finale, but cancelled at the last minute.

A source tells the New York Post's Page Six column, "When he learned he would have to do a duet with Sanjaya, Ozzie said he didn't want to be onstage with that idiot."

Osbourne is also reported to have called Malakar "a hairstyle-challenged idiot".

Aerosmith star Steve Perry was called up as Osbourne's replacement on the talent-search TV show.
