If the Commander in Chief breaks bread with Ozzy Osbourne next month, 
relax; George W. Bush is not a closet metalhead, nor is it a sign of the 
coming apocalypse.

The unlikely meeting would happen at the annual White House 
Correspondents Association dinner, where the godfather of heavy metal 
and his wife, Sharon, will be the guests of TV news anchor Greta Van 
Susteren and Fox News Channel, according to a network spokesperson. 
Guests are invited by members of the association to sit at their 
respective tables, and the Osbournes accepted FNC's offer earlier this week.

Now in its 88th year, the White House Correspondents Association dinner 
is a goodwill gesture between the White House and the journalists who 
cover it. President George W. Bush is scheduled to attend this year's 
event, which will take place May 4 at the Washington Hilton in the 
nation's capital.

Is Osbourne suddenly turning his career from headbanging to politicking? 
The Ozzman, who's anything but reserved when it comes to his opinions on 
the virtual petting zoo in his home, has put his John Hancock on a PETA 
petition directed at South Korean Prime Minister Kim Dae-Jung, urging 
the government to prohibit the eating of cats and dogs.

The animal-rights organization is attempting to ensure that what are 
household pets in this country receive full protection from intentional 
cruelty and torture by "beating, hanging, electrocution, burning and 
boiling alive." Osbourne's signature appears alongside those of Pamela 
Anderson, Janet Jackson, Kid Rock, Christina Aguilera, Joe Pesci and 
Steve Buscemi.
