Family despairs: Kelly blames Ozzy for music career failure
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver January 15th, 2007

Celebrity daughter Kelly Osbourne has said that the stalling of her music career can be attributed to the fact that her father is Ozzy Osbourne.

That's right: it's her dad's fault. Nothing to do with her being rubbish.

Contactmusic.com reports that Kelly, 22, is still proud of her limited achievements in the music world, though:

"I'm really proud of my second album (2005's not-brilliant Sleeping In The Nothing). I still think it's great. People didn't give it a chance. If it was released by someone else I think people would have loved it.

"I'd love to do another album - music is my whole family's passion. It's a lot of work and I get disappointed though. It's harder for me because people always think, 'Oh, she's Ozzy Osbourne's daughter - everything just gets handed to her'. To get the respect of one person I've got to work twice as hard."

OR: just don't call an album Sleeping In The Nothing. The mind's eye, scarred forever.
