Kelly Osbourne admits she’s a showbiz brat

Rock chick turned TV presenter admits she's a showbiz brat - but insists she has nothing to complain about.

On being a brat, Kelly, 23, said: "Hell yeah, I can still be a brat, but I have words with myself when I'm being brattish because I know I shouldn't. I have nothing to complain about - I'm very fortunate."

On boys, Kelly - whose new TV show Project Catwalk just hit screens in the UK, said, "I don't trust boys - love can make you blind. I've fallen head over heels twice in that 'love is blind' way and got hurt. Now I'm so guarded that when it gets to that point, I jump ship. I'm frightened I'll get hurt again."

On growing up with famous parents, she revealed: "I've lived life at a faster pace than most 23 year olds. I've grown up a lot in the last year, largely because I've done so much stuff. I'm not mature but I'm street-smart. I'm not well read or well educated in the academic sense, but I'm savvy and I can look after myself."

On addiction, Kelly - whose dad Ozzy Osbourne has suffered with drug and alcohol addiction in the past, said: "Addiction is a gene. I was born an addict and I'll always be an addict, but I've learned to live with it. There are different levels of addiction, whether it be drugs, spending money, overeating, or painting your nails 17 times a day. It's an addictive gene and you have it the rest of your life."

On fashion, Kelly added to Britain's Fabulous Magazine: "Getting dressed in the morning is one of my favourite things. That's why I enjoy presenting Project Catwalk. I love fashion and I have wardrobes for different moods. I wear what I like and try not to follow trends. I'm stubborn and I don't want to look like anyone else."

On her icons, she said: "Women in the '50s put themselves together well. There's such a lack of that now. Marilyn Monroe, Dita Von Teese and Gwen Stefani look good but I'd never steal their style. I have my own."

And on her parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, she said: "I'd never make a big decision without speaking to my mum. I'd never make a big career decision without talking to my parents. I tell them what I think, they tell me what they think, then I decide what I wanna do."
