Rock Myth #71

Sharon Osbourne hates Simon Cowell so much that after being ousted from her seat as an X Factor judge by Cowell in 2009 she, along with daughter Kelly, set to work on a time machine. Once completed they travelled back to the early 90s and formed Rage Against The Machine, with Kelly now renamed Zack de la Rocha, specifically to oust Cowell's X Factor winner from the Christmas number one slot.

The stunt backfired however as 89 hours constant listening of the band's eponymous début album at full volume turned hubby Ozzy from an accomplished and articulate after-dinner speaker to the performing gibbon that we all know and love today.
