Kelly 'heartbroken' over missed show - Nov 15 2007
Kelly Osbourne has revealed that she was left devastated after she was forced to pull out of her final performance in West End musical Chicago, after she was hospitalised following a fall.
Speaking at the Grey Goose Vodka and Elton John Aids Foundation fundraiser, the 23-year-old said: "It was so hard that I missed that night. It was to me one of the most important and special things I've ever done in my life. To miss finishing with everyone I started with broke my heart, but I'm going back for the tenth anniversary and everyone will be there so I'm really excited for that."
She explained that she had bruised a disc in her back.
"I bruised a disc in my lower back and not slipped, but slid a disc in my neck and I was in hospital for two weeks and it was so annoying because me in one room having to sit still is hard enough, let alone being in a neck brace. But I'm so happy that my neck's not in one (a neck brace) anymore."
’Get well soon’ Kelly - Nov 5 2007
Kelly Osbourne is being coaxed along the road to recovery by her mum, Sharon, whose "get well soon" message was televised on Saturday’s X Factor.
The star had to step down from her final night in the West End musical Chicago - Kelly played prison warden Mama Morton - after she hurt her back in a fall on the stairs at the National TV awards.
But the Mirror reports that the 23-year-old, who spent the weekend in bed resting a slipped disk, will resume her Radio 1 Sunday Surgery and then film Project Catwalk for Sky One next month.
Sharon commented: "She really hurt her back and must wear a neck brace for a while. But she’s in good spirits."
Kelly is apparently due to be discharged from hospital on Monday.
The singer marked her debut in the West End when she took on the role in Chicago, at the Cambridge Theatre, in September.
Kelly’s first night nerves - Oct 5 2007
Kelly Osbourne might have been famous for years, but it didn’t stop her from getting a rather bad attack of first night nerves before her West End debut in Chicago.
The 22-year-old daughter of Ozzy and X Factor judge Sharon apparently revealed that her role as Mamma Morton gave her a serious case of the butterflies and she was even sick, reports the Daily Express.
Kelly is quoted as telling LBC radio: "I’ve never, ever been more nervous in my life. I threw up in my mouth. I thought ’what am I going to do? There’s no bin here’. So I had to actually swallow."
Poor Kel continued: "Through the whole first scene all I could think was, ’I hope Annette [Velma] can’t smell my throw-up breath’. I was so scared."
But it seems the curvy star got through it and can now boast having supermodel Kate Moss as one of her fans.
She added: "Kate calls me up and says, ’Sing me your song’ so I sing the song down the phone to her. It’s so funny. She loves it."
Chicago is on at the Cambridge Theatre until November 3.
Sharon’s ’extreme Botox’ - Sept 18 2007
Kelly Osbourne has reportedly revealed her mum Sharon is a big fan of Botox.
The 22-year-old - who has just taken the role of Mama Morton in Chicago on the West End stage - told Reveal magazine: "My mum sometimes goes way over the top on the Botox.
"My aunties were over for dinner once, and we were sat around the table waiting for Mum. When she came in I had to stuff a napkin in my mouth cos I was going to die laughing. My mum’s face was rigid- like she’d just seen a ghost."

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.
