"Sharon Osbourne has apologized for saying that Britain&amp;apos;s Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle was hit by &amp;quot;the ugly stick.&amp;quot; \r\nLast month, Osbourne, 57, appeared on Sirius XM Radio&amp;apos;s The Opie &amp;amp; Anthony Show&amp;#xA0;and was asked about Boyle. She cracked, &amp;quot;You just want to say God bless and here&amp;apos;s a Gillette razor.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBut on her Twitter page this week, Osbourne changed her tune.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Susan Boyle is a lovely gracious woman and I took advantage of that by poking fun at her,&amp;quot; she wrote. &amp;quot;I would never want to be responsible for hurting Susan and I must apologize for getting a cheap laugh at her expense.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBoyle, 47, is set to release her first album, I Dreamed A Dream, Nov. 24"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
