Friends and family gathered in London on Tuesday morning (July 26) to pay tribute to Amy Winehouse at a private funeral at the Edgwarebury Cemetery. Winehouse, who died at age 27 of yet-undetermined causes, was found unresponsive in her Camden apartment on Saturday by a bodyguard.

According to The Associated Press, friends such as Kelly Osbourne and Back to Black producer Mark Ronson were in attendance at the funeral, which was expected to be followed by cremation and a family gathering at a local synagogue. Osbourne, one of Winehouse's close friends, wore her hair in a tall beehive as an homage to her pal's signature look.

Winehouse's autopsy results were inconclusive, and police said results of toxicology test will take two to four weeks; an inquest has been opened into her death and was adjourned until October 26. Sky News reported that Winehouse's ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was not in attendance at the funeral after officials refused a compassionate leave from jail, where he is serving a 32-month prison sentence after his conviction on burglary and firearms offenses.

Tributes to Winehouse continued to pour in from friends and admirers. U2, who recently paid homage to late Bruce Springsteen sideman Clarence Clemons during shows on their massive 360 Tour, tipped their hats to Winehouse on Saturday during a show at Minneapolis' TCF Stadium, performing their 2001 single "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of," according to NME. Singer George Michael also had kind words for the troubled "Rehab" star, calling her the "most soulful vocalist this country has ever seen," joining a list of peers that includes Adele, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and Kelly Clarkson who've posted kind words about Winehouse.

>Celebrate Amy Winehouse Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT, when MTV will air an encore presentation of a performance she taped in the MTV studios in 2007.

Kelly Osbourne Trashes Ex-Fiance Luke Worrall On Twitter

28 Dec 2010 16:38:22 EST

Reality star calls her model ex 'the worst thing that ever happened to me.'
By Kara Warner

Despite the overwhelming evidence of celebrity love in the air, what with all the recent engagements and weddings, there are a few folks out there who haven't had as happy a holiday.

Case in point, Kelly Osbourne, who has taken to Twitter with a flurry of tweets that aired a bit of dirty laundry between the "Dancing With the Stars" alum and her ex-fiancé, model Luke Worrall.

"Wow just found something out that has hurt my feelings so bad," Osbourne tweeted vaguely, adding a frown-face emoticon late Saturday. "And christmas was going so well... What do you do when someone lies in the darkest way and you try to tell the person that was lied 2 but they don't believe you?"

The vagueness disappeared when Osbourne's tweets changed from an outpouring of sadness and wounded feelings to a profanity-laced attack against her former flame's character.

"@Luke_worrall is the biggest piece of sh-- he has been trying to get back w/ me I only came home for Xmas to see him mean while he has been...F---ing 100's of girls as [well] as men behind my back all he did was use me all girls beware of @Luke_worrall he is a using C---!"

The reality star's wrath didn't end there. She called Worrall "the worst thing that ever happened to me" and accused the 21-year-old of using her for her money and a "free ride."

Osbourne ended the Twi-rade by promising to sign off the micro-blogging site for a bit: "Dont think I have ever felt so stupid he made a fool of me going to be off Twitter for a while never felt heart brake like this in my life."

Osbourne, 26, and Worrall's romance started out in the fairy-tale realm. They became engaged in November 2008 after dating for just six months, but it became more of a fractured fairy tale earlier this year, with Osbourne calling off the engagement in July amid rumors of Worrall's alleged infidelity.

Asher Roth, Kendra Wilkinson, Kelly Osbourne Look Back, On 'When I Was 17'

29 Aug 2010 09:00:56 EDT

The stars reminisce about tattoos, cemetery scares and singing careers.
By Dan Schenek

When Asher Roth was 17, he remembered being a car-less "white boy wannabe."

The lively artist developed a fan base while attending college with the help of social-networking websites, and arrived on the mainstream hip-hop scene with a slew of mixtapes. Almost overnight, he found himself with a record deal and a full studio album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle.

"In high school, I ended up finding my home with kids who had one common interest, and that's hip-hop music," Roth said on the latest episode of "When I Was 17," which premiered Saturday at 11 a.m.

"We'd be carrying boom boxes around in our book bags like we were straight out of the '80s," Roth's friend Brian recalled. "We started meeting regularly around school."

Before hanging with Hef, former "Girl Next Door" Kendra Wilkinson remembers eyeing her high school soccer coach.

"Soccer was my love," the California girl said. "I had a huge crush on my soccer coach. He was like the hottest thing to ever exist ... I would totally flirt with him. I would wear shorter shorts than the other girls on purpose."

Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt said Wilkinson would act like she didn't know what she was doing on the soccer field to get more attention from the studly coach. "I loved just having my soccer coach just yelling at me. It turned me on," Wilkinson said.

Kendra also reminisces about how she was freaked out when seeing windmills turning with no wind and hearing a crying baby at a cemetery.

MTV reality-show vet Kelly Osbourne looks back at her time in an American school and her first tattoo experience.

"For me, it's really the idea of having a tattoo than actually having it because once you have it, you're like, 'alright, ugly.'

Kelly's first impressions of the American school system were also unique.

"In England, I just went to school," she said. "In America, I had to figure out if I was a jock, a nerd, a cheerleader — there are social groups for everything."

"When I Was 17" airs Saturdays at 11 a.m. on MTV.

Mya, Kelly Osbourne, Donny Osmond Head To 'Dancing With The Stars' Finale

18 Nov 2009 10:10:00 EST

Model Joanna Krupa was voted off on Tuesday night's show.
By Jocelyn Vena

It's been an intense season, during which Aaron Carter got Robert Pattinson comparisons before eventually getting the boot, the dancers paid tribute to Michael Jackson and everyone from Taylor Swift to Shakira stopped by to perform on the show. But now the "Dancing With the Stars" finale is upon us, and the final three celebs to make the grade and dance in next week's show will be Mya, Donny Osmond and Kelly Osbourne.

On Tuesday night, model Joanna Krupa and her partner, Derek Hough, were voted off the show. "I really came in the underdog so it's great that people actually appreciated our dances and our hard work," Krupa told People, adding that she was happy for her new friend Kelly Osbourne. "[Kelly and I] basically said, 'Whatever happens happens.' It was an amazing experience. We both came in here with no experience, so whoever gets to the next level, we're going to root for, and I'm definitely going to root for Kelly to win."

Osbourne, Osmond and Mya are now left to battle it out for "Dancing" supremacy next Monday night before the winner is declared on Tuesday. In a previous interview with MTV News, Mya spoke about competing against Osbourne, noting that she was surprised that she wanted to be on the show to begin with.

"I didn't think it was in her personality to do something like this, but it's great that she is," she said of rock progeny Osbourne. "And I actually met her last night, and she's very cute and funny, so she's very sweet. I was just surprised, 'cause she's more of a rebel to me."

'Dancing With The Stars' Is 'Way Harder' Than Kelly Osbourne Imagined

13 Oct 2009 06:52:00 EDT

'I thought with each week it would get easier, but it doesn't,' she tells MTV News.
By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Michael Fimreite

Kelly Osbourne has always been known for her sassy attitude and punk-rock spirit, but it seems that those skills aren't making her time on "Dancing With the Stars" any easier. The 24-year-old admits that competing on the show hasn't been a day in the park.

"It is way harder than I thought it'd be," Osbourne, who is partnered with professional dancer Louis van Amstel, told MTV News on the red carpet at the Hollywood Style Awards. "I thought with each week it would get easier, but it doesn't, because each week you're learning a new dance with new steps."

Osbourne added that the short time they have to learn the dance routines each week only stresses her out even more. "I'm nervous about the pace," she explained. "I'm nervous that I'll forget steps, because you only do have five [or] four days to learn, so it gets tough."

It seems that she's not the only one feeling pressure. She says that her competitors are getting a bit fatigued from all the dancing. "Everyone on the show was so tired," she said, adding that she doesn't regret signing on. "It's the most fun I've ever had working on a show. It doesn't feel like work."

Speaking of the competition, Osbourne couldn't pin down who she thought was her biggest rival. "I don't look at it like that," she said when asked who she thinks she needs to beat. "At the end of the day, you'll only go as far as you're meant to go, and it's just, if you start looking at it that way, you'll start to become evil."

Khloe Kardashian, Lamar Odom Are 'Perfect' Match, Says Kelly Osbourne

29 Sep 2009 10:55:00 EDT

By Jocelyn Vena

Kelly Osbourne was among the friends and family who gathered on Sunday in Beverly Hills to see Khloe Kardashian wed L.A. Laker Lamar Odom. And despite the fact that the pair only dated for a month before getting married, Osbourne doesn't think they did it too soon.

"When you know, you know — and they know," Osbourne told Us Weekly. "When it's right for somebody, she can only know that. It's nobody else's business, just theirs. It was a fairy-tale wedding and completely beautiful."

The "Dancing With the Stars" contestant went on to say that Odom and Kardashian are "perfect for each other" and the bride looked "stunning" in her gown. "It was absolutely beautiful," Osbourne added. "Lamar is the nicest guy, and I'm so happy for them. They are great together."

Osbourne is one of the many people close to Kardashian who are expressing their happiness over the wedding. Older sister Kim, who wore a lavender gown to match the sash on Khloe's gown, took to Twitter after the ceremony to say how much she loves the newlyweds. "Tonight was one of the best nights of my life!" Kim tweeted. "Khloe & Lamar's wedding was a night to remember! I love you both so much!"

Khloe's stepbrother, "Hills" star Brody Jenner, told MTV News he was happy to welcome Odom into the family. "I'm getting some good seats this year at the Lakers games, yes!" joked Jenner. "No, I've met Lamar a couple of times, and he seems like a pretty incredible guy. So, it came fast, to say the least, but I'm happy for them. She seems very happy, so good for them."

DJ AM's Death A 'Reminder' To Addicts, Kelly Osbourne Says

03 Sep 2009 17:22:00 EDT

'If it can happen to someone like him, it can happen to anyone,' Osbourne tells E! News.
By Jocelyn Vena

On Thursday (September 3), friends and family will gather to remember DJ AM at a Hollywood Palladium memorial. The DJ's untimely death of a suspected drug overdose is a reminder to recovering addicts that at any moment, you can be on the brink of relapse.

"It's a constant reminder that sometimes you don't have control over it," Kelly Osbourne told E! News. "It's really scary, because if it can happen to someone like him, it can happen to anyone."

Osbourne, who is currently gearing up for the next season of "Dancing With the Stars," admitted in her book "Fierce" that at one point, she was taking 50 Vicodin pills a day. "I had no control over it," she recalled. "I didn't know what day it was. If I can share that pain and misery with someone to say, 'Don't do this,' it means more to me to help one person than to keep my mouth shut."

DJ AM, who had been sober for 11 years before his relapse, was someone who was out to show the world that addicts can get clean and accomplish anything. He had just taped the show "Gone Too Far" with MTV, which aimed to help other addicts kick their habits. Osbourne is hoping to do the same with her time on "DWTS."

"I'm turning 25 during the show, and I just don't want to have any regrets anymore. I just wanna have fun," she said. "How many people in the world get an opportunity like this ... and get paid for it?"

By Jocelyn Vena

Slowly but surely, partners for the next season of "Dancing With the Stars" are being announced, and Kelly Osbourne is the latest contestant to have her dance partner revealed prior to Monday's official announcement.

"Access Hollywood" reports that when the season starts on September 21, Osbourne will be dancing with Louis van Amstel, who has partnered with Priscilla Presley and Monique Coleman in past seasons. The pair will begin rehearsals this week. According to a tweet by Osbourne, she's been told by the show's producers to get a bit tanner for the premiere next month. "Just met with wardrobe, hair, and make up for dwts," she wrote. "They told me I need to get a fake tan haha!"

"DWTS" fan-favorite Derek Hough also got a new partner: model Joanna Krupa. In past seasons, Hough danced with Lil' Kim, Brooke Burke, Jennie Garth and ex-girlfriend Shannon Elizabeth.

On Thursday it was reported that Mya and Emmy-nominated "So You Think You Can Dance" alum Dmitry Chaplin would be dancing together. Aaron Carter will be dancing with Karina Smirnoff.

When first announced as one of the contestants, Osbourne told Ryan Seacrest on his morning radio show, "My body is going to get sick and be toned. ... I mean this from the bottom of my heart: I don't care if I win. I'm not doing this to try and prove that I'm better than someone else at something, I'm doing it because it scares me."

Kelly Osbourne Is 'Terrified' By 'Dancing With The Stars'

17 Aug 2009 15:27:00 EDT

'I wanted to do something that scared me, and I don't think anything could scare me more,' she says of her upcoming stint on the show.
By Jocelyn Vena

Kelly Osbourne is ready to get her dancing shoes on for the next season of "Dancing With the Stars," which premieres September 21. And although she admits she's not the best dancer in the world, she does say that being in the competition is a very exciting opportunity.




	'Dancing With The Stars' Cast Announced

"I am so excited, but I cannot tell you how terrified I am," she told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show on Monday (August 17). "Dancing is something that I've always really wanted to be able to do, but never had the confidence and the technique, if you know what I mean. I'm not very graceful, so it's just something that absolutely terrifies me — and it's the main reason that I kind of wanted to do it."

The former MTV star admitted that one of the main reasons she signed up for the show is because she "wanted to do something different. I wanted to do something that scared me, and I don't think anything could scare me more."

Osbourne, who will be competing alongside Mya, who starred in "Chicago" in 2002, admits that she's ready for the challenge of dancing, something that she couldn't quite do when she starred in "Chicago" in London.

"I'm just excited to be a part of it," she said. "A couple of years ago, I was in 'Chicago' on the West End and I was originally meant to be Roxie — but when it came down to doing the dancing, I couldn't learn the dancing in time because I can't dance, so I went and did Mama Morton instead."

The singer — who doesn't care if she wins or loses the show — did seem excited by the chance to get fit training for the competition, saying, "My body is going to get sick and be toned.

"You make mistakes, you learn ... it'll be like a team of people going on a journey together, so it'll be fun," she said, adding, "I mean this from the bottom of my heart: I don't care if I win. I'm not doing this to try and prove that I'm better than someone else at something, I'm doing it because it scares me."

By Jocelyn Vena

Although it was rumored that LaToya Jackson and Paula Abdul were possible contenders for the upcoming season of "Dancing With the Stars," neither will actually be vying for the title of dancing king or queen when the new season begins on September 21 on ABC.

Singers Mya, Macy Gray Aaron Carter and Donny Osmond and MTV reality star Kelly Osbourne, however, are scheduled to compete on the show. Former Republican Congressman Tom DeLay, "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" star Melissa Joan Hart, actress Debi Mazar, George Hamilton's son Ashley Hamilton, model Joanna Krupa, model/actress Kathy Ireland, mixed-martial-artist Chuck Liddell, professional snowboarder Louie Vito, Olympic swimmer Natalie Coughlin and former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin will also be battling for the mirror-ball trophy.




	'Dancing With The Stars' Cast Announced

The announcement was made on "Good Morning America" Monday (August 17) by the show's host Tom Bergeron, who announced that the show will work a little differently for its ninth season.

"In the middle of our season, over three weeks, we're going to have double eliminations," Bergeron said. "We'll lose about half of our cast within that period. It will be a ballroom bloodbath."

Last week, the show's executive producer, Conrad Green, talked about the rumors of Abdul joining the cast, saying that it was a "possibility." "She has never been trained in ballroom and Latin," he told ETonline. "So that is a possibility as well. It is for Paula to work out. At the moment, the world is her oyster. Everyone wants her. At our show, we are great fans of Paula."

Last season, gymnast Shawn Johnson beat out the likes of Lil' Kim, Steve-O and Belinda Carlisle to win the dancing competition.
