Osbourne urges US women not to vote for Palin

Rock matriarch-turned-reality show queen Sharon Osbourne is urging Americans not to vote for US vice-president hopeful Sarah Palin - because the Republican nomination of the Alaskan Governor is just a desperate ploy to win women's votes.

The Brit, who fronts US talent show 'America's Got Talent', was astonished when Palin was named as Senator John McCain's running mate and she hopes America's women voters will reject her.
