Kelly Osbourne

Filed under: Entertainment, Musician

Kelly Osbourne is the daughter of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon Osbourne. She has two siblings: Aimee Osbourne and Jack Osbourne, and two half-siblings: Jessica Hobbs and Louis Osbourne, Ozzy’s children from his first marriage.

Kelly has nicknames including "Kelly O" and "Kel". She is on record as 1.60 m (5 ft 3 in) in height. [1] Note that she has described herself as "5 foot 2 inches" (1.57 m) in height.

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. Kelly’s 2002 Epic debut, "Shut Up," debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart. The album was met with fairly good critical reviews. However, Shut Up! failed to spark much interest, and by May 2003, Kelly had been dropped from Epic. The setback neither slowed her down nor shut her up, and by autumn Kelly had resurfaced on the Sanctuary label. She later recorded a duet with her father of "Changes," a Black Sabbath song. The duet hit #1 on the UK charts, a first for Ozzy and Kelly. Shut Up! was repackaged with this duet and a few live cuts and rereleased as Changes. Sales did not improve.

Kelly Osbourne’s Sleeping in the Nothing debuted at #117 on the Billboard Top 200 selling just under 9,000 copies.

Sleeping in the Nothing sees Osbourne make a rather smooth transition from rock to 80s dance-pop. Sleeping in the Nothing was co-written and produced by legendary songwriter/former popstar, Linda Perry.

The first single from the album, "One Word" peaked at #1 on three Billboard dance charts. Kelly Osbourne became the first artist in the history of the Billboard charts to top all three dance surveys in the same week.

The album was not without controversy, due to its heavily altered album cover, in which Osbourne appeared markedly slimmer. The image, which graced the album cover and most of its promotional material, angered many fans due to her previous reiterations of being happy with her size, and not wanting to change for anyone.

Additional controversy surrounded "One Word", which borrowed heavily from the Visage hit "Fade To Grey." Billy Currie, co-writer of "Fade To Grey", accused "One Word" writer Linda Perry of copyright abuse. However, the issue was apparently resolved as Visage have since remixed "One Word."

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."

Man sues Belushi over Land Rover sale

Filed under: News

PAWTUCKET, R.I. - Comedian Jim Belushi is being sued by the 78-year-old father of his former driver, who accuses him of selling a used 2001 Land Rover that turned out to be a lemon.

Ted Lewandowski worked as Belushi’s driver when the star was filming the Walt Disney movie "Underdog" in Providence. He claims the SUV needed more than $6,000 in repairs — and he demands that Belushi pay.

"The claim is false and frivolous," Belushi’s Los Angeles attorney, Brian Wolf, said Thursday. "The exact claim for the same repairs to the same vehicle has already been adjudicated."

Wolf said a Los Angeles small claims court found in February that Belushi did not owe Lewandowski any money, and the new action amounts to harassment of his client.

While driving Belushi last year, Lewandowski mentioned that he wanted to buy a car for his father Jan Lewandowski, said Steve VanderPyl, a private investigator for Lewandowski. He said Belushi suggested his old Land Rover and referred Lewandowski to a listing for the vehicle posted on the Internet auction site eBay.

"He told him it was in perfect mechanical condition," VanderPyl told The Associated Press. "He thought being a movie star, the guy’s not going to lie to me about it."

He said Lewandowski sent an $11,500 payment to Belushi’s representatives in California, then flew to the West Coast to retrieve the SUV.

On the way home, the Land Rover broke down in Arizona because it needed a new fuel pump, VanderPyl said, and still requires a new water pump, a radiator and other work totaling about $5,000

Filed under: Actors, News

LOS ANGELES - Best known for playing James Bond on the big screen, Roger Moore now has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of an address that includes the spy’s signature 007.

Moore, 69, received his permanent spot on Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday, accompanied by friends and family.

Moore made seven Bond films, starting with "Live and Let Die" in 1973 and ending 12 years later with "A View to a Kill." The British actor paid homage to the number of women he kissed on-screen while adapting Ian Fleming’s leading man.

"Sadly, I had to retire from the Bond films," Moore said. "The girls were getting younger or I was just getting too old."

Moore has done some acting since leaving the Bond franchise. He has raised funds for UNICEF in underdeveloped countries and received a Commander of the British Empire award from the British government in 1999. He also was awarded a knighthood in 2003 for his work with UNICEF.

Moore’s star sits in front of 7007 Hollywood Blvd., an ice cream parlor that claims to be the birthplace of the hot fudge sundae.

Pierce Bronsan is the only other actor who played Bond on the big screen to receive a star on the Walk of Fame.
