Kelly checked herself into rehab - May 17, 2020
Kelly Osbourne checked herself into rehab after threatening to break a fan’s finger. At the height of her addiction to "downers" - including Valium and Vicodin - the singer admits she suffered from dangerous mood swings. Kelly eventually realised she needed help after scaring herself with her own rage.
She told the Glamour magazine: "This girl came up to me and shouted, ’That’s Kelly Osbourne!’ and pointed a finger in my face - literally her fake nail touched my nose and I just flipped. "I grabbed her hand and said, ’Don’t f**k with me, or I’m going to break your f**king finger off." The 21-year-old star is not the first Osbourne to suffer from addiction. Her famous father, Ozzy, is notorious for his drug-fuelled antics, while brother Jack - a recovering alcoholic - was the first of the siblings to be admitted to rehab.
Kelly dumped by boyfriend David Williams - Dec 8, 2020
Kelly Osbourne is said to be devastated after being dumped by boyfriend David Williams. The star - who shot to fame on hit reality TV show ’The Osbournes’ with parents Sharon and Ozzy and brother Jack - reportedly jetted to Los Angeles after the Son of Dork guitarist ditched her on Wednesday (07.12.05). The musician is said to have decided he wasn’t ready for a relationship with the 21-year-old, after dating for a few weeks.
A source is quoted in the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "She’s very upset as she thought she’d found someone she really liked. David even had dinner with Sharon and Ozzy the other weekend. "When David said he wasn’t ready for a relationship, she was gutted, as everything had been going so well."
Last month, Kelly revealed she is ready to retire despite being just 21. The outspoken star admits she is sick of working and has quit singing after just one album. She said: "I don’t intend to do anything. I’ve been working since I was 15 - what do I want to work for?"
Kelly wants to re-launch her music career by copying Kylie Minogue - Oct 25, 2020
Kelly Osbourne claims she wants to re-launch her music career - by copying Kylie Minogue. The reality TV star confessed she has been watching videos of the diminutive pop babe to get ideas for her routines.
Kelly says she’s now ready to kick-start her career with some of the blonde star’s steamy moves. She is quoted in the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I have learned lots about performance by watching old videos of Kylie. Sex really does sell, so I’ll be doing loads of that."
Earlier this year the 21-year-old revealed she wants plastic surgery. The wild child singer, who was once admitted to hospital with depression over her poor self image, said she is set on spending thousands on improving her body. She confessed to Closer magazine: "I’m going to get lifted, sucked, tucked and Botoxed until my forehead doesn’t move."
Kelly’s mother, Sharon, also once revealed the star had been admitted to rehab for a complete mental breakdown over her weight. Sharon said Kelly was treated after being attacked by critics over her weight and looks.

The series led to Kelly releasing an album in 2002, aged just eighteen. Shut Up failed to spark much interest despite a well played cover of Papa Don’t Preach debuting at number 1 in the American charts. Later in the same year a duet with Ozzy, Changes, became both father and daughter’s first UK number one.
Meanwhile Kelly broke in to television presenting, hosting MTV’s award ceremonies and taking a guest slot on Top of the Pops. She also took a part on teen soap Life As We Know It, first aired in 2004. However, it was at this time that Kelly checked in to rehab with an addiction to painkillers, her problems echoing those of Ozzy and Jack, both of whom have battled with drink and drug addictions.
Not one to stay down for long Kelly was soon working again, her second album, Sleeping in the Nothing, may have failed to win over listeners, selling just 9,000 copies but single One Word was a dance hit. Kelly launched her own fashion line, Stiletto Killers, with friend Ali Barone in 2004 whilst also continuing with her presenting career. She has fronted I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’s digital spin-off show and has replaced Liz Hurley as the presenter of Project Catwalk.
Following several ill advised matches, including her highly publicised relationship with Bert McCracken, Kelly and boyfriend Matty Derham of Fields reportedly took part in a marriage at a music festival in Ireland. Despite the fact that the marriage was not legally binding the couple were later spotted buying gold bands together.
