Osbourne warned he would not stand for people throwing things at them on stage after his daughter stormed offstage after plastic bottles were thrown at her during a Millennium Dome concert last month.

Bradford wins series ban

An Indian court has halted a TV series which author Barbara Taylor Bradford says violates the copyright of her novel, A Woman of Substance.

The Calcutta High Court had agreed last week to let the show be broadcast on Monday because Indian court cases can drag on for so long.

But two judges reversed that decision after an appeal from Bradford, saying they wanted to read the book and watch the series Karishma - The Miracle of Destiny first.

Bradford came to India in May to try to get the 260-episode series banned just a few days before it was to be broadcast.
