BAH, HUMBUG!

Ozzy Osbourne is bringing new meaning to the word Scrooge. “I hate Christmas,” says the rocker. “When I used to drink, it was a good excuse to get drunk for two weeks. Now I just hate it.” So how does Ozzy prefer to spend Dec. 25? Well, his favorite holiday came in 2003 – right after he’d been involved in a quad-biking accident. Says Osbourne: “I was in a coma for a while, so I missed Christmas. Thank God.”

We’re not sure what the brains behind St. Tropez-brand fake tanning lotions were thinking when they cast perpetually pale Kelly Osbourne as the line’s new poster girl — but she’s loving her new streak.

“I’m not orange at all!” Kelly crowed last week from Los Angeles at her first shoot for the product. Osbourne started fake-baking during her stint on “Dancing With the Stars,” after the show’s powers-that-be complained that she was “the palest girl ever.”

The newly bronzed beauty was still strutting her golden glow Friday night when she and identically pale fiancé Luke Worrall cmhere2turned up at LIV nightclub in Miami’s Fontainebleau. Spies said the couple canoodled, without Osbourne’s goop rubbing off on Worrall’s shirt, and “looked adorable.” A source confided, “They’re planning on getting married at the end of 2010.” Osbourne hasn’t said whether she plans to be a bronzed bride.

Stars are lining up to pose in PETA’s striking “Save the Seals” T-shirt for a brand-new ad series aimed at ending the slaughter. In addition to Hilton and Osbourne, the celebs sporting the tee in the first installment of print ads launching this week are CSI’s Jorja Fox, hunks Brody Jenner of The Hills and Owain Yeoman of The Mentalist; Twilight star Christian Serratos; Jackass star Steve-O; Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer and Grace Park; playmates Holly Madison and Jayde Nicole; 90210 alum Jennie Garth; indie rockers Animal Collective; The Office star Lucy Davis; actor Rachael Leigh Cook; Natalie Dreyfuss of Rita Rocks; boxer “Sugar” Shane Mosley; pro cyclist Levi Leipheimer; and U.S. Olympic Team snowboarder Hannah Teter. This summer, Sarah McLachlan previewed the PETA tee at the Canada Day concert, where the singer condemned the slaughter.

Says Osbourne, “The saddest thing for me is just knowing baby seals, some of [whom] have not even had their first meal, are going to be killed, and most of them are probably still alive when they’re skinning them. And there are no laws, nothing to stop them, so it’s just going to get worse.”

During the annual massacre, sealers shoot these gentle animals or bash their heads in, and the baby seals are often skinned alive while their wailing mothers helplessly watch. The European Union and the U.S. have banned seal products, and world leaders—including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and President Barack Obama—have spoken out against the massacre.

With only a month to go before Kelly Osbourne appears on US TV show Dancing With The Stars, she’s got a lot of work to do.

The reality star, who admits she has no dancing skills, is one of the 16 celebrities competing in the American version of Strictly.

The 24-year-old has just started rehearsals in Los Angeles with Dutch professional partner Louis Van Amstel, 37.

Spotted outside a LA dance studio, Kelly looked tired and nervous after her second day of rehearsals.

Wearing a t-shirt, leggings and strappy dance shoes, Kelly dashed outside to put more money in the parking meter before returning back inside.

After a successful first day, yesterday didn’t go as smoothly as planned after Kelly barely ate before hitting the dancefloor.

Writing on her Twitter micro-blogging page, she said: ‘I made the biggest mistake today. I did not eat very much before I went to rehearsals and I was sick.’

Louis added: ‘Kelly and I had a short day today. Kelly decided not to eat. Then I made her twist ‘n turn. Not a good idea. lol. You can imagine what happened.’

Kelly admitted she was aching after her first dance session and was wondering how she would get through the pain.

Sending a Twitter message to her partner Louis on Sunday, she said: ‘I need my brakes, I’m not as fit as you, but trust me when I say I am hurting today… you a*shole! Can’t wait to see ya.’

Louis, who was previously partnered with Priscilla Presley on the TV show, has recommended out-of-shape Kelly starts Pilates classes and takes regular baths to help ease her sore muscles.

While Kelly is looking forward to acquiring new dancing skills, she is reluctant to wear the Lycra outfits and fake tan.

Last week, she said: ‘Just met with wardrobe, hair, and make up for Dancing With The Stars. They told me I need to get a fake tan, ha ha.’

Kelly, who rose to fame on MTV reality show The Osbournes, was confirmed as a contestant on the popular programme last week.

She enthused: ‘My body is going to get sick and be toned.

‘I mean this from the bottom of my heart: I don’t care if I win. I’m not doing this to try and prove that I’m better than someone else at something, I’m doing it because it scares me.

‘Dancing is something that I’ve always really wanted to be able to do, but never had the confidence and the technique, if you know what I mean.

‘I’m not very graceful, so it’s just something that absolutely terrifies me – and it’s the main reason that I kind of wanted to do it.’

Kelly appeared in Chicago in the West End in 2007, and told American Idol host and radio presenter Ryan Seacrest that she had taken a role that ensured she did not have to do much dancing.

She revealed: ‘I was originally meant to be Roxie – but when it came down to doing the dancing, I couldn’t learn the dancing in time because I can’t dance, so I went and did Mama Morton instead.’

Kelly will joins a host of celebrities competing on the show including supermodel Kathy Ireland, R&B singer Mya, Donny Osmond and Sabrina, The Teenage Witch actress Melissa Joan Hart.

Hey girls, do you remember when you were younger and you got bored and you totally cut off all the hair of your Barbie doll? Well when I saw Kelly Osbourne with her new hairstyle, it reminded me of what that Barbie doll looked like after that haircut. And Kelly made it even easier for me to remember because her makeup looks like the stuff I drew on that same Barbie doll’s face with red and black felt pens.

A television station in the Florida Panhandle is not going to air a new variety show hosted by Ozzy Osbourne and his family because it contains profanity and adult content. The head of Panama City Fox affiliate WPGX says he watched a six-minute preview of “Osbournes: Reloaded” and found that the time slot for the show makes him uncomfortable.

The show is set to debut Tuesday at 8:20 p.m. CDT. The offbeat time is intended to keep viewers of top-rated “American Idol” watching the show.

WPGX General Manager David Cavileer says he would have aired the Osbournes show later in the evening. Instead, he’ll air “The Simpsons” during the earlier time slot.

A Fox Broadcasting Co. spokesman says any affiliate can pre-empt a program it deems inappropriate for its market.

In a tearful conversation, Sharon Osbourne confirmed that daughter Kelly, 23, was back in rehab.
“Yeah, Kelly’s in rehab,” the matriarch of the Osbourne clan confirmed to RadarOnline.com.

“What else can we say? She knew that it was the right thing to do at this point and we’re proud that she did it. The family is all standing behind her. Kelly knew that she needed help and she’s getting it.”

Sharon didn’t want to reveal the location of the rehab facility where Kelly will be for at at least the next 30 days, except to say that it was outside the L.A. area.

Nor did she want to discuss what she’s getting help for.

“Kelly will tell you herself when she gets out,” Sharon promised.

“We just pray that everything’s going to be okay.”

Sharon said that Kelly had been working steadily with her, dad Ozzy Osbourne and brother Jack on Fox TV’s new Osbournes Relodaded variety show prior to her entering rehab.

“She been working right up until she went in.”

Her voice choking with emotion, Sharon ended by saying, “This is one of the absolute worst things that a parent can face, for their child to go through rehab. And not once, but twice.

“However, we are all very glad Kelly’s doing it.”

Kelly Osbourne was arrested for allegedly slapping a gossip columnist over comment she made about her fiancee Luke Worrall according to Daily Mail.

Witnesses claim the radio DJ flew into a rage after gossip columnist Zoe Griffin said  her fiancé, Luke Worrall, was stupid.

Griffin is said to have taunted Osbourne, 24, that Worrall, 19, did not know what an earthquake was.

Griffin said: ‘Kelly shouted loudly in my ear, “I have an issue with you. Everyone has been laughing at my boyfriend.”

A Met spokesman said: ‘We can confirm a 24-year-old woman attended a central London police by appointment on 2 January.

‘She was arrested for common assault relating to an alleged incident in Soho in the early hours of 29 August 2008.’

“She has been bailed until a date in March.”

I guess you can say like mother, like daughter?
