...intriguing in its own way. MTV has never been shy about embracing the postmodern paradoxes of reality programming--The Real World no longer even pretends to be about real life, and millions of viewers couldn't care less--so The Osbournes takes the fame issue straight on. We catch up with Ozzy and wife manager Sharon primping for the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the annual fete during which the two nerdiest groups of celebrities--politicians and journalists--surround themselves with actual stars to bask in the reflected cool. As George W. Bush gives Ozzy a shout-out from the podium...

...find themselves surrounded by "a raft of a gluey substance that glistened in the moonlight," says one of the fishermen, Manuel Toja. "It was so thick we felt we were stuck in it." Back in port - with their nets, buoys and lobster traps ruined by oil - their meager catch was rejected by the health authorities. While waves, winds and oil churn off shore, storms also are raging in government and shipping industry offices on several continents, where politicians and businessmen argue about who is to blame for the demise of the 26-year-old Prestige, which was en route from...
