Kelly Osbourne 'cracked-out housewife'

Kelly Osbourne says marriage will make her a "cracked-out housewife".
The 24-year-old star - who recently completed a stint in an Oregon rehab clinic where she was treated for an addiction to painkillers - is planning a long engagement to her fiance Luke Worrall, 19, as she thinks the pressure of married life could prove too much.
She told People magazine: "I think the last thing I should be doing right now is planning a wedding. I'd become one of those cracked-out housewives with a vacuum cleaner, hopped up on Dexedrine." /how to play the guitar/

Kelly's mother Sharon Osbourne - whose husband is Kelly's dad Ozzy Osbourne - is fully supporting her daughter's decision not to rush into wedlock.
She said: "It's not right for either of them to go into domestic bliss right now. I was 29 when I got married to Ozzy, and it worked. I'd waited until I'd done all the crazy things I wanted to do."
It has also been revealed when Luke asked Ozzy for Kelly's hand in marriage, he gave him his blessing but only if they didn't tie the knot "in the next five years".
Kelly recently said she learned how to have a successful relationship from her parents. /how to play the guitar/

The star - who shot to fame in MTV reality show 'The Osbournes' with her unconventional family - said: "Marriage is scary. It is though thick and thin. I've learned a lot from them because I've seen how, just because you have one small argument, it doesn't mean divorce. But that's love." /how to play the guitar/

The singer says he and his bandmates - guitarist The Edge, drummer Larry Mullen Jr. and bassist Adam Clayton - are determined to enjoy their upcoming world tour because they fear it could be their last.

He said: "We want to play for each other as much as we want to play for the crowd this time. You just don't know how long you are going to be doing this. When we walk out on stage, the hairs on people's necks go up - but what people don't know is that the hairs on our necks go up too."

Larry is concerned their fans won't want to part with their money to watch them, even though tickets have been priced reasonably. how to play the guitar

He said: "Will we sell it out? Who knows? Will the economic situation have an impact? Probably. But that's not going to stop us."

Larry recently admitted he wants the group to retire while they are still at the top.

He said: "There will be a time when it's like, 'It's time to go.' I would like that to be on a high when you're still achieving as opposed to the curve down. That'll be sad for me. I think it'll be a more dignified time to go."

Rod Stewart's son brands him 'cheap'

ROD STEWART's son has accused the rocker of being "cheap" live on television.

Sean Stewart, 28, appeared on American reality court show Judge Jeanine Pirro in a battle with his personal trainer over unpaid fees.

Stewart, who's made his name in the US after appearing on a string of reality shows, is accused of failing to pay personal trainer Francois Xavier Decile for his services, which amounted to (£3,500) in unpaid sessions.

But the recently rehabbed Stewart, who told Judge Pirro he's had a hard life being Rod's son, said his dad had paid off the first debt.


But he told a stunned courtroom that his father was "cheap" for making him pay back the money.

He said: "Actually, the money he gave, the cheque he sent to Xavier, I had to pay back.
"My dad's very cheap. I don't know why."

Decile claims he quit training Stewart last August after getting sick of hearing that the star's famous dad would cover the bills.

He told the judge, "He used to say, 'Don't worry, my dad will pay you.'"

Judge Pirro, who is a former district attorney and county court judge in New York, then ordered Stewart to pay the bills.

She then told that being the son of a rock star is "nothing compared to the struggles I hear all day in this courtroom".
