Kelly Osbourne (birth name Kelly Michelle Lee Osbourne) was born on October 27, 1984 in London, England, UK. She is an English television personality, singer, actress, radio presenter, and fashion designer.

As Kelly and her brother Jack began making more and more appearances with their mom and dad, observers noted the Osbournes' quite different take on the traditional family dynamic. And after a particularly memorable visit by Cribs to the lovably battling brood, MTV could see that it had something good. The Osbourne Family premiered in March 2002, and was an immediate worldwide hit. Fashionably brash, impossibly crass, and a bit of a loudmouth, Kelly quickly proved adept at spotlight-hogging. The release of the clunky Osbourne Family Album that June signaled that the tie-ins and overexposure had reached a fever pitch. However, Kelly's rocked-up send-up of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" made considerable noise, and suddenly Sony/Epic (Ozzy's longtime label home) was readying a Kelly Osbourne full-length.

The fizzy, lightly rocking Shut Up appeared for the first time in November 2002, accompanied by a media blitz banking on Kelly's reality TV exposure and her larger-than-life persona. However, despite multiple magazine covers, chatty interviews, and her participation in the Osbournes' profanity-laced hosting of that year's American Music Awards, 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. Rather than releasing new material (it was rumored Kelly had had an album in the can at Epic before her dismissal), Sanctuary reissued Shut Up in September 2003 as Changes. It included live material and new cover art, as well as the title track and lead single, a refashioned Kelly/Ozzy duet version of the old Black Sabbath Vol. 4 ballad.

In 2007, she was awarded the role of Mama Morton in the West End musical, Chicago. She was forced to pull out of the final performance of the play, due to a back injury. She is the youngest actress every to have played the part. Much speculation was made about the apparent airbrushing of the promotional shots for the play, which appeared to make Kelly look significantly slimmer than she actually is.

Kelly Osbourne is like an English Rose... anne. Her in-your-face attitude, bad language and limited physical charms would be a turn-off for many men. Still, she's had some well-publicized relationships, such as that with Bert McCracken, lead singer for rock band The Used.

Kelly's appeal may be small, but it is there. For hard-rocking, punk and rebel types, she could be just the thing -- especially heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne in the family tree. Going to pick up Kelly for a date and meeting her folks would certainly be an adventure.
