Kelly finds love? - July 3 2007
Kelly Osbourne is apparently dating musician Jarrod Gobel - and sources say she’s "head over heels" in love.
The rock chick has been stepping out with her new man, frontman of US band The Honorary Title, for just two months but they have already set up home together, reports the Daily Express.
"She just moved in with him in Brooklyn," says a Stateside source.
Kelly, 22, the daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, is enjoying an upswing in her career as well as her love life - she is currently shooting a new reality TV show with Kimberly Stewart, the daughter of singer Rod Stewart.
The show is said to be a spin-off of The Simple Life, which sees hotel heiress Paris Hilton and her wealthy pal Nicole Richie swap their pampered lives for a succession of menial jobs. It is expected to air across the pond later this year.
Kelly: Amy is so happy - May 24 2007
Kelly Osbourne has spoken out about her best pal Amy Winehouse’s marriage, apparently declaring "she is so happy".
The 22-year-old picked up newlywed Amy’s gong at the Greatest Britons 2007 bash in her absence on honeymoon.
She told The Sun: "I have spoken to Amy on the phone and she is so happy. Just looking at them together you can tell they are so in love. They are soulmates - anyone can see that."
Kelly also lifted the lid on why the London songstress decided to have a low-key ceremony in Miami.
"The wedding was a very small thing," she explained. "Amy hates a lot of fuss. She would never do the big white dress, walking down the aisle with her dad thing."
She added that the singer is flying her and some other close pals out for a belated hen do.
"I had no idea they were getting married - none of us did," she revealed. "Amy has planned a girls-only night, sort of a post-hen do for us."

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.
