Tearful Kelly reveals relative's HIV diagnosis
This is iLondonUpdated 09:26am on 19 Feb 2007
Kelly Osbourne fought back tears as she told an audience that a member of her family was HIV positive.
The TV personality was speaking at a benefit gig for HIV support charity Body & Soul at Koko in Camden, north London.
Introducing a performance by the Scissor Sisters, she said the cause was special to her because a member of her family had been diagnosed with HIV.
Photographers present at last night's concert reported that Osbourne sobbed before leaving the stage.
She shot to fame on the reality TV show The Osbournes, which followed the antics of her father, rock star Ozzy Osbourne, and his dysfunctional family.
Osbourne's representatives could not be contacted for comment.

We can only wonder which one it is. Seems to me that "celebrities" these days dump all of their dirty laundry the minute their careers hit terminal freefall. Almost like cartoon characters that pull the rip cord on their parachute and have an anvil fly out.

Who? Which one? Probably a distant relative.

I can't believe these people. Where does it say one must reveal one's sexual preference, and/or drug addiction, and/or alcohol addiction, and/or unwed pregnancy, and/or medical condition, the way these show-people types do? While I am sorry, certainly, to hear the bad news she's imparted, I don't understand the apparent need for her to do so. Does anyone? You?

No surprise, I suppose.
