Kelly Osbourne covers the February 2011 issue of Cosmopolitan UK. I have no real idea why, as she doesn’t strike me as the kind of person who really sells covers. But whatever. She’s on the cover with the world’s ugliest dog (or the dog’s pulling a stupid face)… so she gets a pass for making this a twofer. It’s weird that they’ve shot the cover like this. Osbourne is way thin now, yooguise, and everyone else is making the most of her new figure. Cosmopolitan, however, have put her in a dress with ruffles that drown her figure. And they’ve shot her sideways, which loses her dimensions. She looks heavier than she is now, on this cover. We can’t see her small waist and legs, that she worked out for. All we see are salmon ruffles and a dog with a stupid hair cut (and portals to the bosom of Beelzebub where its eyes should be). In the issue, we’re told more about how Osbourne hates and loves the ex-fiance she claimed on Twitter had sex with other women and men outside the relationship and broke her heart. ‘I’m head over heels in love with him… I haven’t [slept] with anyone since Luke [Worrall].’
- On how she feels about her ex-fiance, Luke Worrall: ‘I think we need to spend time working on ourselves, but it doesn’t erase the fact that I’m head over heels in love with him… I haven’t been with anyone since Luke.’
- On what happened in their relationship: ‘I’m 26, and Luke is 21,’ she says. ‘We still have a lot to learn about life. A lot of mistakes were made, a lot of bad things were said.’
- On gaining weight after getting out of rehab, and finding the motivation to slim down while performing on Dancing with the Stars: ‘I replaced drugs with food,’ she says. ‘I was emotionally eating and hated the way I looked, but I couldn’t mask my self-loathing with pills anymore.’
- On her old weight: ‘When you’re a fat girl in Hollywood, it’s not fun,’ Osbourne says. ‘You never get looked at the way skinny girls do. I covered it up with my humor, but suddenly I found myself unfunny and hated what I saw.’
- On how Dancing With The Stars changer her: ‘I only did it to lose weight,’ she says. ‘I made a life change and re-educated myself about food and eating right. I didn’t know anything before about eating in moderation.’
- On being confident now: ‘People forget that I was 15 when I was thrown into the limelight,’ she says. ‘The teenage years were the hardest of my life. I found that, as I’ve grown older, I’ve finally learnt what makes me comfortable.’
