HOW THEY FIRST MET
While on the show, co-host, Eve Cooper, mentioned that Sharon Osbourne and Belle Zwerdling had been friends for a long time before proceeding to ask how they first met.
Zwerdling started as she made it known that she had been a waitress at a Rock and Roll restaurant, and Sharon was a "big kinda Rock and Roll" manager.

Referring to Osbourne as her hero, Zwerdling explained that she was in awe of the fact that the former "X-Factor" judge was thriving in a "male-dominated industry."
She added: "And we just connected, and we just started hanging out…" Osbourne chipped in that she and Zwerdling bonded over loving old music.
NAUGHTY BESTIES
Among their many funny escapades, Osbourne and Zwerdling enjoyed prank-calling people. The socialites also admitted to being naughty.
Belle explained that she worked at the comedy store, and every time she left, she would go up to meet her BFF and engage her in prank-calling some of the comics!
From then on, they remained good friends.

This time, the girls prank-called comedy star, Jay Leno. Belle said: "And we were…you know, "Is your refrigerator running? Well, you better go get it!"
As they continued to pull gimmicks on the TV star, the guard at Sharon's house buzzed in to inform her of a "Jay Leno" who was seeking for her! The lovely BFFs were tracked down! Belle added that Osbourne and Leno dated afterward.
OSBOURNE'S FLING WITH LENO
When she was 25, the award-winning media personality had a fling with Jay Leno. Osbourne once explained to her co-hosts on "The Talk" that a friend had invited her to the club.
There, she watched Leno perform on stage and instantly felt a connection. When she prank-called him, the "Jay Leno's Garage" host told her he liked her voice. Osbourne shared:
"One thing led to another. He came to my house and met me and then we had a little fling…"
However, their little romance was cut short after Jay Leno introduced his partner, Mavis Leno, to Osbourne. From then on, they remained good friends.
