Any word on how the third Osbourne kid is doing? Has she been to rehab yet?

I forgot there was a third, but now I remember hearing that she refused to be on the show ... so she's probably laughing at all of this (or crying about how f*d up her family is).

Though, I find it harder to believe she may not be addicted when there were 500 pain killer pills. Normal recreationers wouldn't have that amount in stock unless they were saving it for years to come.

I went through 300 norcos in 3 weeks and no way in hell am I going to rehab, fuck that.

From what I read here, a paparazzo threatened to publish photos of Kelly buying drugs and then the maid found a bag of pills in her bedroom. Was Kelly USING drugs or ABUSING them?

If she was using and not suffering any health or mental problems, then forcing her into a rehab isn't going to do her any good. It sounds to me like she might just have some legal or publicity problems. A lawyer and publicist is what she needs, not a stay in rehab.

Why are we (as society) so fascinated with celebrities getting busted for dope ? Normal people get busted all the time but I don't see anynone writing in the papers about them.... Personally I could not care less...

Kelly Osbourne talks of "drug hell"

Kelly Osbourne talks of drug hell
BBC News
Monday, May 24 2004

Kelly Osbourne, daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, has spoken of her slide into drug and alcohol abuse days after her release from a rehabilitation clinic.

The 19-year-old said she turned to drink and drugs after finding it difficult to adjust to life in the US.

She was interviewed for ITV1's Tonight programme by her brother Jack.

She said she tried alcohol at 12 before using harder drugs and was constantly under the influence. "I was completely and utterly miserable," she said.

"Painkillers weren't the only drugs I did... towards the end, there wasn't a second in a 24-hour day that I wasn't high on something," she said in the interview.

Kelly and Jack Osbourne got a reputation for wild living following the success of their reality TV show The Osbournes.

Jack, 18, has also had treatment for drug addiction and was admitted to a clinic in Malibu, California.

Speaking about his own addictions, he said: "What no-one knew as I was filming the second series of The Osbournes was that aged just 16 I was struggling with a serious addiction to a painkiller called Oxycontin or 'Hillbilly heroin'.

"My drug-taking made me so miserable that just months after this footage was recorded I tried to kill myself."

He said he had now been clean and sober since being released from the rehabilitation centre.

During the interview, Kelly said she felt driven to drink to escape her "chubby English girl" image after finding it hard to make friends in Los Angeles.

"In the beginning, you do it because it makes you feel good and then it gets to the point were it stops making you feel good and you do it because you don't know what else to do," she said.

During the Tonight programme, to be screened on Monday, parents Sharon and Ozzy talk about their guilt about their children's problems.

Ozzy said: "We were in denial. You always want to think it's somebody else's kids, not your own."

Being an addict when your rich is veeery different from a normal addict. The daily struggles of finding money to fend off w/d's and going to shady places to score drugs is a different world from <there are drugs and money all over the place, how do i keep from ODing, or even taking them>

while, id much rather be in kelly osbournes place and cant show here much sympathy at all, i can imagine how hard it would be for those kids to stay off drugs. I know i'd be a full-blown adict in their positions, but I sure wouldnt be bitching about it!
 
Rationally, you would think that Kelly would have learned something from her brother Jack and his addictions... but drug addiction is anything but rational.

I like this quote by Kelly:

"In the beginning, you do it because it makes you feel good and then it gets to the point were it stops making you feel good and you do it because you don't know what else to do," she said.

There is definetly some truth to that statement... :\
 
seems almost orchestrated to me ... how quaint that they all have these terrible addictions which you only hear about afterwards when they blame any problem they had on their drug use, and get away free and clear while publically condemning drugs.

How do you figure that?

There are a lot of problems that come along with being a drug addict other than affording your habit.

Money had nothing to do with me having to kick heroin and Oxy. Well, I guess it played a small role. But that's not why I quit. It was changing my personality and turning me into something I didn't want to be... a liar and thieving fuck that and towards the end heroin and oxy came before everything else.

And what's the point of being rich if you're so fucked up on drugs that it's fucking up your life and you're unhappy?

If you've having to find money to fend off w/d's and going to shady places yourself and you're still using, you are in total denial if you think that's your only problem.

Also, Scott Weiland was busted at least twice in areas with open air markets... where he was scoring drugs and he's rich.

I watched my friends have serious problems with opiate addiction and it didn't phase me at all when I was using.

Also, perhaps her brother doing well and really staying off drugs ended up being a wake up call for her. And I wouldn't be suprised if Jack knew and he was pressuring her to get help.

Also, another thing I think you guys are overlooking is that while Kelly or her PR representatives might have really played down the extent of her addiction or not talked about exactly what drugs she was taking or said she was using just weed and alcohol doesn't mean that was the extent of it.

I am so frikkin glad i can just disappear in a crowd , be totally anonymous and inconspicuous when i want to be. When you're a celebrity EVERYTHANG you do, say, buy, take, eat, fuck et al is magnified a million times . I completely agree with the statement Being an addict when your rich is veeery different from a normal addict. It has nothing to do with money . Imagine struggling with your addiction, dealing with your demons every second , trying to get through damned puberty (or whatever issues you may have) PLUS on top of all that shit, having to live in constant fear that a papparazzi shot taken of YOU in the act of scoring sum smack wil pop up in the next isssue of The National Enquirer . Its a hard life bein an addict, and i feel very sorry for those who are eternally doomed to live in a fucked up fishbowl as well. (like robert downey, poor thing.)
PS.i wish that Hilton skank would get busted with som crack. LOLZ
 
I know she does heroin, just look at how skinny she is, always wearing a wrist band on her arm, and constantly groggy-eyed. When you have as much money as Paris Hilton it would be no issue to take a private jet to South America, pick up a kilo of coke or heroin, and come right back with a gianta personal stash. After all, what's $20,000 when you're worth over $100 million? Plus, you're getting it cheaper and more pure than buying it here. On the other hand, it makes no sense to abuse illegal drugs when you can just go to the doctor to get a legal counterpart without the legal worries and doctor-patient secrecy.

Like it has been said, money is not the only reason drug addiction is bad. Personally, I had a huge Dexedrine addiction and more than I thought I'd ever take, but always ended up running out early, plus access to Adderall if that ran out, and it still caused many problems even though it cost $10 a month for the pills. Looking like a zombie, being overly skinny, strung out and staying up all the time takes a toll mentally, personally, and physically. It can effect your goals and personal relationships, etc. Whatever underlying problems there are, too many drugs will simply magnify them. Of course it's always worse when the drug is physically addicting and harder to quit, which is why I stay away from alcohol, benzos, and opiates/opioids. Being poor is never good and spending what little money you have on drugs makes it even worse, combined with the inability to afford treatment and general ignorance about the actual drugs themselves makes poor addicts' situations even more hopeless...causing a vicious cycle.

All-in-all the decision to quit anything, whether it be eating fast food until you're dead from obesity or heroin, comes down to realizing the problem. Kelly probably saw Jack in herself and decided she should make the same good choices he did. Excessive amounts of anything is bad for anybody, even water and sex.
 
^dude, excessive amounts of water was never bad for fish *joke*....anyway really? you think hilton shoots up heroin? I read that she doesnt even drink alcohol, just tons of red bull. But she does look like shes on uppers though.
 
Her parents, and trust lawyer, would not let her drug usage be reported. Hell, her best friend was arrested for heroin,
 
^CORRECT! man.....i will check out Nicole Ritchies eye the next time i catch The Simple Life and see if they are pinned. So with the Hiltons.
 
while, id much rather be in kelly osbournes place and cant show here much sympathy at all

Why can't you show her sympathy, because she is rich? Trust me, money doesn't do a whole lot to making someone happy. It really doesn't. Though I am not quite as rich as these super-star kids, I've always gone on vacation to exotic places, skiied in Vail, and I have very, very nice things. Money has simply never been an issue in my family. Forget your skis? Just buy a new pair, etc. etc. But what money does do, is breed an environment of safety, that no matter how much you, the rich kid, fucks up, you'll still have a roof, food, your car, and all your nice things just like if you weren't a fuck up.

Because of that, its really easy to get deep into addictions, stealing money, dropping out of school, and basically becoming a smack shooting, home-living loser who never makes anything with their lives, and is constantly miserable. The parents are never around because of constant business obligations to keep making the big bucks, or they are off cheating on their spouse. In even more situations, the money drives apart the parents and leaves the kids with a virtually inlimited credit card and no parents to supervise. It's happened a million times, and it continues to happen everyday. I only hope I can pull my ass out of this.

For those who didn't grow up around money, the desire to make it far outweighs having fun, as well, if you do fuck up, there is no where to go except the streets. Those factors are highly motivating to the standard middle to lower middle class kids, and keep them away from drugs and in school for the most part. These kids also have their parents around MUCH more, not to mention their parents usually aren't sociopathic money makers, but they actually know how to love their kids and spend time with them, instead of just buying everything you want.

As you can see, on both extremes of the spectrum, absolutely rich and extremely poor, there is misery and drug addiction. This will probably continue for the rest of time, and no one should be discounted from having real human emotions and pain, just because their bank balance is larger than most other people.
 
Agreed. IMO, upper-middle class kids have the biggest advantage because they aren't stuck in their parents footsteps all their life, but usually strive to outdo them.
