SHARON OSBOURNE - OSBOURNE TO MANAGE MINNELLI?

Rock matriarch SHARON OSBOURNE is reportedly desperate to manage ailing diva LIZA MINNELLI's singing career.

THE OSBOURNES reality TV star is a friend of the 58-year-old music legend, who is currently in a New York hospital after a fall on Monday (27DEC04).

British gossip site SKYNEWS.COM reports Osbourne, who has managed several bands and artists including husband OZZY, is keen to work with Minnelli, who hasn't had a manager since splitting from her husband DAVID GEST last year (03).

Osbourne says, "I had a long chat with Liza Minnelli. I think I could rescue her.

"She is a massive talent and could still cut it with a younger crowd."
