JONATHAN ROSS BLAMED FOR KELLY OSBOURNE BREAKDOWN

We'd have thought that a caring mother might have chosen to let her daughter get better in as much privacy as she could muster, but Sharon Osbourne has decided to have a bit of a yak with the media about exactly what Kelly's problems are. It's not about drugs, apparently:

"Kelly had a breakdown because of her weight.

"This is not, I repeat, not about drugs. I wish it were that simple, but it's not. Kelly had a complete mental breakdown."


Well, that's going to help with her recovery, having it in the National Enqurier. Sharon knows exactly who's to blame for this breakdown - not, surprisingly, the parent who forced her daughter onto the telly like some kind of dancing bear and who kept the cameras returning even as her kids went slowly Baldwin. No, it was Jonathan Ross' fault:

The problems fired up when Kelly went on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross to promote her new album, Sleeping In The Nothing. Ever the adventurous joker, he asked Kelly if her promotional photos were manipulated to make her look thinner.
Openly crying, Sharon said: "That was the straw that broke the camel's back." She went on to say: "We were all really frightened. We didn't know what she might do."


Now, it was a slightly nasty jibe, but Kelly's been fairly happy to talk about her weight with the media before, so it's not like he was picking a subject which was off-limits (she did all the press around Life As We Know It talking about how she didn't want to be cast as the fat character, and then how she decided it was cool to be the fat one, even although she wasn't fat - which, of course, sadly and ironically, she isn't). Added to which, if you don't want some mild-level ribbing, probably best not to go on Jonathan Ross, isn't it?

Does "This is not, I repeat, not about drugs. I wish it were that simple" mean "I wish my own daughter had had a drug -related breakdown"?

There's nice for you! I'm sure Asda will want to play up that angle.
