Twitter has been a lovely device for sharks like us. We sit around staring idly at celebrity accounts, counting down from ten for when they start spouting off about things. The Osbourne Family, who aren’t exactly strangers to opening their mouths before kicking their tongues in gear are clearly perfect for the direct-line of social networking.
This week, it’s Kelly Osbourne who is letting rip in a seven-post-long rant defending her mum Sharon over claims made in Dannii Minogue?s new book.
We know! Dannii Minogue has a bloody book out! Can you believe it?
Extracts were released from Dannii?s Minogue?s soon to be released autobiography, imaginatively titled ‘Dannii: My Story’ (perhaps she should’ve called it “Living In The Shadow Of My Famous Sister, Grabbing At The Nearest Coat Tail” or something instead),.
Dannii claims that Sharon Osbourne reduced her to tears on her first day in the new X Factor job. That’s not news – Sharon Osbourne reduces us all to tears every single time she hauls her motionless chops out onto our television sets.
Dannii says that Sharon ?bowled in? and ?demanded to know why I hadn’t gone to the press to tell them what a nice person she was’ on her first day, adding:
“The minute she left, I burst into tears. I’d managed to hold it together while Sharon had been there, but once she’d gone I couldn’t hold it in, and I wept into my hands.
“I wasn’t crying because I thought there was any truth to what she’d said – I was crying because someone I had previously looked up to had bawled in my face and ruined my big night.”
Kelly Osbourne wasn’t going to let that lie was she? In fairness, she had to be the mouthpiece for the family because brother Jack’s fingers are too chubby to press his Blackberry keys and Ozzy’s feed would look like this:
“Mwnmn mm mhm fuckin’ shmmlb mhhm Sharon.”
So what did Kelly have to say? Well (and feel free to stick [sic] at the end of each snippet):
“the best thing to happen to dannii’s career was that my mother hated her she needs to shut her mouth and concenterate on motherhood!
?i will be the first one to admit that my mother did not play her cards right when came to dannii but trust me when i say dannii is the devil,’
?dannii you are so lucky that i respect simon enough to not tell the truth about what really happened. wa wa wa you poor middle aged victum?
This, of course, saw Dannii’s fans leaping to her rescue (or, if you prefer, typing obscenities to a stranger after being angered at someone else being rude, thereby making the whole debacle a festival of hypocritical shit-slinging).
Kelly explained herself:
“to the 12 dannii fans out there i ask you this question what would you do if someone wrote a book of lies about your mother?”
“i think you all forget i was there i saw everything and if my mum was the “bully” why was she the one the left the show?”
“sorry i have just had to deal with this bulls**t 4 years and i have kept my mouth shut but i am sick and tired of her lies enough is enough.”
Then, finishing with a flourish, she closed with:
“what the f**k is wrong with some of you people its not just some friend i am defending its my MOTHER!!!!!”
Isn’t twitter a wonderful tool for making celebrities go stir-mental?

kelly should keep her foul mouth shut after all she would be a nothing if it were not for her mother and father, mind you perhaps she takes her foul mouth from her mother, I at one point really loved the osborn family and comended the way thay came to terms with all of there problems and found what i thought at the time sharon to be a loving mother who would do anything to defend and take care of her family, however I read sharons book and did not see in the papers family members of people she had writen about call her a devil. I am so disapointed in you kelly you would have showen more decorum if you had like your brother kept your mouth shut.

Apart from Ozzie, this talentless family have somehow managed to keep themselves in the public eye through cheap behaviour and headline grabbing. If not for Ozzie, none of them would get any ink or money from their talent. The kids are plain ugly, or to be kind, plain plain. Sharon did a fairly good job of keeping Ozzie in the money, so she deserves some credit for cunning. But to actually listen to her advice on any subject but how to manipulate the press would be a waste of time.
