Metal Pedophile Back In Jail

Osbourne Rehab

Hecklerspray reports: Kelly Osbourne has checked into rehab for the next 30 days. We didn't know pastry could be so addictive. Kelly Osbourne holds the key to all kinds of different - yet equally universal - problems. For instance, we've all been in the situation where a national newspaper has printed a story claiming that a loved one doesn't know what an earthquake is - that's just a normal part of growing up. But what should you do in that scenario?

Kelly Osbourne knows - she thinks you should march up to the journalist who wrote the story and thump them in the face in front of several people until you're arrested. It seems to work quite well, but only if you're under the influence or drugs or drink or 'personal problems' or whatever the hell is up with Kelly Osbourne at the moment.

You see, just days after her arrest Kelly Osbourne has decided to check into a rehab facility. Which would normally be a fairly responsible thing to so, except Kelly didn't think it through - by going into rehab, Kelly's left Sharon Osbourne to talk on her behalf, and - that's never a good idea.

About Face: Flea Denies Joining Legendary Band

MusicRadar reports: MusicRadar spoke exclusively with Gayle Fine of Q Prime Management. Fine, who manages the Chili Peppers, had spoken with Flea several times during the day about the stories that the famed bassist was taking part in a Faces reunion (something Rod Stewart also denied).

"Flea doesn't know where these stories are coming from," Fine said. "But I can't tell you for a fact that, as far as him joining The Faces, it's simply not true."

When asked about the message on the Chili Peppers' website, Fine sighed and said, "That was taken from a story from Rolling Stone, and frankly, I don't know how that got up there. When you have a band this big, people get very enthusiastic. I'm going to have that taken down, of course." - more on this story
