I took to drugs because of my dad: Kelly Osbourne

Singer Kelly Osbourne, daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, revealed that after seeing her father surviving in spite of drugs and alcohol addiction, she also decided to indulge.

"I think, to be honest with you, the way that I looked at it when I was really young was `well, Dad`s still alive...I can do it too` and when I look at it now, I think `my god, why did I put myself through that?`....why didn`t I just ask for help? why didn`t I just be honest with how miserable I really was?"

"But I was afraid to because when you`re 17 and the entire world is looking at you and your mum`s got cancer and my dad`s in hospital on life support, I didn`t know how to cope and didn`t know what I was doing. I did turn to drugs and it wasn`t the smartest thing at all because it destroyed my life," mirror.co.uk quoted Kelly as saying.

Kelly was speaking on a talk show to promote her new book `Fierce`. She said that it wasn`t a traditional autobiography.

"It`s not an autobiography but it has autobiographical qualities because I couldn`t tell people not to do something or to do something if I can`t say why I know not to do it. It would be really hypocritical if I did that so I made such an effort to be just as honest as I possibly could.

"It`s called `Fierce` because it`s targeted at young women and fierce can mean so many different things, it can mean something is great, something is bad, it can be scary, it can be fantastic and it sums it all up."

Rihanna, Brown plan romantic getaway

After reports suggesting that R&B superstars, Rihanna and Chris Brown have rekindled their romance, the grapevine now suggests that the pair are planning
a romantic holiday together.

Brown is currently banned from seeing Rihanna for five years by a court order after he was found guilty of assaulting the `Umbrella hitmaker`, so they have decided to jet off to
Acapulco, Mexico, as the ruling cannot be enforced outside US, Star magazine reported.

"They spoke to their lawyers to see what was allowed, and are now planning two weeks in Mexico. They want to spend some quality time together and know they have a lot to
reconcile before they can make their relationship public again," a source told the magazine.

Brown, who had already apologised for the incident through a video posted on YouTube, views this getaway as a second chance and he`s determined to make up for it, friends
revealed.

"What happened was a shock to both of them and completely out of character for Chris. There was nothing they could do but split up. But they`ve kept in touch and met up in
secret as they missed each other. They`ve never, ever stopped loving each other," a source close to the couple said.

I`m a pathetic dancer, says Rajeev Khandelwal

He is a good actor and a good TV host, but Rajeev Khandelwal calls himself a "pathetic dancer". Despite that, he has finally managed to dance for a song in his next film "Peter Gaya Kaam Se"."`Peter Gaya Kaam Se` is more like a commercial film with music by Sajid-Wajid; so, yes, there`s a little bit of dancing. There`s one song that I have done. I`m a pathetic dancer, but I have still managed," Rajeev told reporters.

The actor, who is currently hosting STAR Plus` controversial reality show "Sach Ka Saamna", will be seen in a completely new look in the movie being produced by UTV Spotboy.

"You`ve never seen me in that kind of look before. In terms of my look, my diction (authentic Konkani accent) and my character, everything is different.

"From that man caught in circumstances and no choice in `Aamir`, I will be now seen as a man who is living a carefree life and wants to go and explore better opportunities abroad," he said.
