This is the second time for Kelly to enter a rehab facility. One would have to think the odds of living a clean and sober life would not be stacked in favor for any of the Osbourne siblings.
To me, one of the great things about living in today's world is there is hope for anyone who is willing to get help for his or her addiction whatever it may be.
May the force be with Kelly.

Paid Informant Admits To Tittle-Tattle In Rapper's Slaying
A paid informant who worked closely with law enforcement after the murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G, admitted in a civil court that his naming of the suspected gunman was a sham, according to the L.A. Times.
What ever happened to common sense? I know if I needed critical information to help solve the murder of a well-known performer, I would seek out someone who goes by the name of "Psycho Mike." Not!
The L.A. Times is not releasing Psycho Mikey's real name for fear it could endanger his life. Sounds to me like maybe the L.A. Times has some of its own dirty laundry to wash.

P. Diddy At It Again- Now It's Sean, Not Sean John
Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs is about to launch his new ladieswear line, according to Women's Wear Daily.
Leave it to P. Diddy to again rock the fashion world. You have to believe that after being so successful in the mens fashion world, he will take ladies fashion to another level. It's great to see someone with so much talent bring out his love of fashion and his softer side.
I wonder though, do you think the lady in his life will actually be wearing his new "the appitiser" collection?

Hip-Hop Fan At Snoop Dogg Show Gets Bonk, Bonk On The Head
A fan attending the Seattle Snoop Dogg and the Game's How The West Was Won tour claims he was beaten while on stage with the two rappers, according to E!Online.
Seems to me that those who go to concerts would learn by now that performers will protect themselves from any threat they feel is valid. Now were Snoop Dogg and the Game in danger? Maybe or maybe not. I believe with the video taken during the incident the truth will come out.
But, let us not forget what happened not so long ago with Pantera's founder and Guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell.

Coldplay/Oasis Bested By A 'Crazy Frog'
"Crazy Frog Axel F" based on a cell phone ring tone is this weeks #1 selling single as listed by The Official UK Charts Company, according to the Associated Press.
This has to be a bit overwhelming for the traditional music industry. But I can remember back in 1972 when an instrumental called Popcorn by Hot Butter lit up the AM radio airwaves. I learned how to replicate the sound by making a popping noise out of my mouth. All day long I would drive my Mom and Dad and sisters nuts by popping out the tune. The funny thing is I can still do it.
Now the times have turned full circle. Ten-year olds are now driving their parents nuts by down loading their favorite musical hits to their cell phones and jamming out to it. Just when I think the times have changed, they just reinvent themselves.

Girl Ain't Having No Fun
Pop-star Cyndi Lauper and her actor husband are suing for a reduction in their rent to the original rent stabilized price of $508 a month, according to the Associated Press.
This sure would be lower than the $3,250 they are currently paying. Talk about having fun after saving $2,742 a month on your rent! The crazy thing is, I would think that someone of her fame and stature would own the building she lives in and would be making money off subletting to the rich and famous.
What blows my mind is the number of million dollar homes has almost doubled in New York from 2000 to 2003. My take is if the girl who wanted to have fun really wanted to have fun, she should have invested in some Manhattan real estate long ago.
