Full Kelly Osbourne Biography
Kelly Michelle Lee Osbourne, (born on October 27, 1984 in London), is an English television personality, singer, actress and fashion designer. Osbourne first rose to fame in The Osbournes, the Emmy-winning reality TV series about her famous father and his family.
Her debut album, Shut Up!, was released in 2002 to moderate sales, fueled mostly by a cover version of the hit Madonna song Papa Don't Preach, which was debuted with Houston rock band Pure Rubbish at the 2002 MTV Movie Awards. Osbourne's 2002 Epic debut, "Shut Up!", debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. The album was met with bad critical reviews also failing to spark much interest, and by May 2003, Osbourne had been dropped from Epic. However, by autumn she had resurfaced on the Sanctuary label, later recording a duet of "Changes", a Black Sabbath song, with her father. The duet hit #1 on the UK charts, a first for both father and daughter. Shut Up! was repackaged with this duet and a few live cuts and re-released as Changes. Sales did not improve, however.
During an interview in late 2005, Osbourne denied reports she is ending her music career, and is said to be working on a new album. Osbourne was quoted as saying: "I don't know where the quit rumours came from - I've just recorded a version of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun with Cyndi Lauper."
In 2007 Kelly signed to BBC Radio 1 to host the Sunday night teen show, Radio 1's Surgery and on Sunday 7th October 2007 she went on air for the first time with the issue of self harm.

In 2003 Osbourne fronted MTV's Isle of MTV event in France and in November of the same year hosted MTV UK and Ireland's Red carpet coverage of the MTV Europe Music Awards.
In 2005 Kelly co-hosted the MTV Australia Video Music Awards 2005 with Ozzy, Sharon and Jack Osbourne.
In 2005 Osbourne guest presented Popworld on Channel 4 and CD:UK on ITV and an episode of The Friday Night Project for Channel 4.
Kelly Osbourne co-hosted the 2006 edition of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here! Now, a spin-off show of the main ITV1 programme. She hosted alongside Jeff Brazier in Australia, and Mark Durden-Smith in the London studio.
Kelly recently presented ITV2's coverage of the National Television Awards with her brother Jack, and a documentary on Japanese pop culture called Kelly Osbourne: Turning Japanese for the same network.
At a charity event for HIV support in February, 2007, Kelly revealed to the audience that the event was special to her because one of her family members had been diagnosed as HIV positive. While introducing the band Scissor Sisters at an event for Body & Soul, Kelly made the announcement but did not elaborate as to whom she was referring.
It was later revealed that it is her cousin (from Ozzy's side of the family), Terry Longden, from the reality series The Salon, who is HIV positive. Terry was present at the event standing at the curtain backstage.
In 2004, Kelly Osbourne launched her own fashion line, Stiletto Killers, with friend Ali Barone. Stiletto Killers was a rock-inspired line of tees, knickers, hoodies, and sweatpants designed by Osbourne and Barone, emblazoned with cartoonish designs and punk rock phrases. There was also a more sophisticated couture branch, The SK Collection. Stiletto Killers closed in April 2006 and Barone has since launched a line called Lipstick Prophets.
Osbourne can currently be seen as one of the new faces of the British high street chain Woolworths' Worthit! campaign.
In May 2006, at the Electric Picnic festival in Ireland, Kelly and her boyfriend, Matty Derham of the band Fields, took part in a wedding ceremony in an inflatable church on site. Her representative denied that the ceremony was legally binding as Irish marriages can only be performed either by validly-ordained church people or by civil registrars who are HSE employees. Marriages can also only take place normally in churches or register offices, and where all legal requirements such as the three months' notice were met. However in the days following Electric Picnic, Osbourne and boyfriend were spotted buying gold bands in Fields jewellers on Grafton Street Dublin.
On 19th September Kelly appeared on The New Paul O' Grady Show. She is well known for accidentally swearing twice on the show. She also attempted to beat the world record for the most jelly eaten with chopsticks in a minute. |
