Jack Osbourne Admits To Suicide Attempt
Jack Osbourne has admitted he tried to commit suicide when his mother was diagnosed with
cancer.
The 23-year-old star couldn't handle the fact that Sharon Osbourne discovered she had colon
cancer in 2002, and took a cocktail of prescription drugs including
OxyContin and Valium.
"I started getting suicidal. I was just doing loads of drugs and
drinking. I was miserable."
Jack claims from that point, things just kept going downhill. Luckily, he was able to realize he needed help.
"I disappeared for the long weekend. When
I came back, I knew I needed help. I was like, 'OK, I will do this.' "
Jack's father rocker Ozzy Osbourne - who has previously battled alcohol and
drug addictions - eventually convinced his son to seek help.
Jack spent a period in Malibu's Visions Adolescent Treatment Center and
claims it was the best decision he has ever made.
"A year passed and then two and then three and now it's nearly six.
I don't have a plan, I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing and
hopefully not drink. I don't ever want to come back to rehab again."
Wow! Let's not forget Kelly Osbourne placed herself in rehab a few months ago as well. This poor family has a lot of demons.
Celebrities Attend Spike TV's Scream 2008 Awards
Several celebrities attended "Spike TV's Scream 2008 Awards" in Los Angeles yesterday including the gorgeous Liv Tyler. I'm really loving her outfit here and I think she looks a lot more youthful than usual.That seems to happen when a celeb goes through a divorce. They suddenly feel ten years younger! :)
Also in attendance were: Kristen Bell, Milla Jovovich, Jaime King (love the whole look), Jack Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne, & Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne.
Who's look did you like the most? My votes for Liv and Jaime.... :)

Jack Osbourne Defends His Dad
For anyone out there who has ever seen the reality show Meet the Osbournes, what did you think of Ozzy Osbourne? I'll admit, whenever I heard him speak I was just so happy that I haven't done drugs. But Jack Osbourne is sticking up for his dad. He says that the show portrayed Ozzy in a bad light.
"I think The Osbournes, to a degree, tarnished the public's perception of my dad as a bit of a senile, funny, bumbling guy. Yeah, my dad can be that guy, but it's not [all of] him."
Jack is now shooting a "memoir" done via film since his dad is dyslexic and refused to do a book.
"So this is more like a talking book, a really thorough autobiography."
And Jack wishes people would be able to see the other side of his dad.
"My dad's not an idiot – he's nothing short of a genius, in my
opinion," he explains. "He does have huge flaws, and we're trying to
really paint an honest picture of that."
While it's sweet that Jack hopes to change public perception of Ozzy, do you really think he'll be able to succeed in doing so?
