Slippery Goth
Get your slippers on, Goth-man! Original illustration for Entertainment Weekly 'Power Issue 2002'. Slippers by DVS

What is it with all this Ozzy Osbourne being cool crap?

Enough already.

The third of the Teenage Cancer Trust benefits at the Royal Albert Hall feature Richard Ashcroft of The Verve fame, Paul Weller, Roger Daltrey and Noel Gallagher. 7:30pm. Kensington Gore, SW7. £17.50-37.50. 020 7589 8212

A rare occasion to laugh is presented by a special screening of classic Max Linder comedies at the NFT. 6:10pm. South Bank, SE1. £7.20.

Doesn't anyone remember how utterly abominable his music is/was? How naff all that heavy metal posturing is?

Latest to cash in the Osbourne craze - and admittedly kinda quirky - is skate shoe maunfacturer DVS which has launched a slipper, of all things, supposedly designed by the man himself.

It's available from early May in cool sneaker stores such as Offspring, and they hope, in HMV stores too. The slippers are in black velvet with a gold 'Ozzy' cross on the toe.

Not sure if this will appeal to superannuated Goths, ironic skate dudes, or unreconstructed Ozzy fans, but they sure beat listening to the man's music!
