Weekly Girl Crush: Kelly Osbourne

Apologies for getting this out a tad bit late again. My computer decided to freeze for literally 25 minutes when I was trying to wrap this up. I'll just go ahead and consider Tuesday to technically end when I go to bed (which will usually transition into Wednesday morning)... Annnyyyway:

This Tuesday's Weekly Girl Crush is all about Kelly Osbourne!

All of us go through weird and awkward stages in our lives. But most of us don't have the added pressure of doing that on TV every week. Kelly, daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, grew up in front of TV cameras. Her family starred in one of MTV's first reality TV shows, "The Osbournes." Kelly was quickly deemed an aggressive teenage pottymouth with a couple extra pounds to carry around... Over the years, Kelly has shed that image and really embraced a healthier lifestyle.

Although her family's TV show is long gone, Kelly has maintained her status as a TV personality.  Kelly shed some pounds by dancing her way to 3rd place on "Dancing with the Stars" in 2009.  That is truly when her body transformed into the petite girly figure that it is today. She has since been in several health magazines talking about her diet and exercise routine so she can keep the weight off!

Kelly is also now one of the panelists on E!'s hit show, "Fashion Police." She fills the role well! Her red carpet looks over the past few years have been stunning. Ms. Osbourne definitely knows how to properly dress her new body!

In addition to TV, Kelly has also been active in theater (starring in Chicago in London's West End in 2007) and music. I will fully admit to loving her song "Shut Up!" and her cover of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" that came out in 2003 and 2002, respectively.  She has also modeled on several runways and has taken part in several print ads and campaigns. Acting, fashion, and music?! This girl has got it all.

After dealing with drug addictions, being ripped apart by the media regarding her weight, and a teenage life in the spotlight, Ms. Osbourne truly has come a long way. It makes me so happy to see her so happy and doing well. She is one of my girl crushes because she is so cute and bubbly but she still maintains a tough-girl edge. Her most recent fashion choices are verrry Old Hollywood and retro/vintage inspired, which I absolutely love!

Keep it up, Kelly! You're beautiful! Don't let any haters get to you! In the long run, we know they're all just jealous. If some tabloid reporter doesn't understand the difference between Spanx and bike shorts, screw 'em! They need to educate themselves and get over it.

Thanks to Kelly for being an inspiration to millions of girls! If you can turn your life around and become healthier and happier (and more fashion forward!), so can the rest of us!

Kelly was also a part of the "Give a Damn" campaign in 2010 that brought awareness to discrimination in the GLBT community through Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Fund. I think it is waaay cool of Kelly to have been involved in that. I, too, am a straight ally for the GLBT community and really respect others that stand up for GLBT rights!

Here are some pictures of some of my favorite looks of hers... 

I hope you've enjoyed this week's Girl Crush! Be sure to follow this pint-size fashionista on Twitter @MissKellyO!
