Sharon Osbourne has apologized for saying that Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle was hit by "the ugly stick."

Last month, Osbourne, 57, appeared on Sirius XM Radio's The Opie & Anthony Show and was asked about Boyle. She cracked, "You just want to say God bless and here's a Gillette razor."

But on her Twitter page this week, Osbourne changed her tune.

"Susan Boyle is a lovely gracious woman and I took advantage of that by poking fun at her," she wrote. "I would never want to be responsible for hurting Susan and I must apologize for getting a cheap laugh at her expense."

    Between Rosie O Donnell saying this woman looks like Shrek and Sharon Osbourne calling this lady ugly, CMON people, you are not the best looking 2 women I've ever seen, leave this poor woman alone, what a way to give someone horrible self esteem. You are grown women, I thought picking on people was what teens and elementary school kids do, grown the f up!

    Considering that her daughter Kelly has issues from being made fun of by friends, you would think Sharon would be more sensitive to this. What she said about Susan Boyle is horrible, and she should be ashamed of herself.

    And, how much plastic surgery have you had Sharon? Funny how American starts "morph" over the years to become very beautiful, with chiseled features!

    I guess she didn't have the money for all the plastic surgery that Osborne has gone through to make her "beautiful".

    Shame on you, Sharon Osbourne. Not everyone can afford head to toe plastic surgery like you had done.
