Career

2002–2005: The Osbournes and Shut Up Osbourne and the rest of her family (minus Aimee) starred on the MTV reality show The Osbournes, which aired from 2002 to 2005. The series chronicled their day-to-day life, portraying a dysfunctional family in which metal music, profanity and other harshness were a daily part of life. Kelly, the middle child, emerged (according to Rolling Stone) as "a wickedly funny, brutally honest, pint-size, potty-mouthed spitfire." The series started when she was seventeen, and ended when she was twenty. Kelly said in an interview for The Osbournes DVD that the crew were only actually supposed to be there for a few weeks but ended up staying for a few months. She found the constant cameras focusing on her and her family stressful.Eliscu, Jenny (12 December 2002), "Kelly Osbourne". Rolling Stone. (911):76 In 2002, during the second season of The Osbournes, Kelly dated The Used lead singer Bert McCracken. The show was filmed in California, United States, where the family has had their residence for several decades.

Both she and her family were parodied in Channel 4 comedy Bo' Selecta in which the rubber-masked Kelly, played by Leigh Francis, has her own show and is always being Censorship for swearing with bleeps. After her appearance on the reality show, Osbourne quickly began to be noted for her varied and trendy style among fashion commentators like Steven Cojocaru.Kim, Maggie; McIntyre, Samantha; Reiffel, Gabrielle; Sparks, Sarajane (28 April 2003), "Who's That Girl?"

Her debut album, Shut Up, was released by Epic Records in 2002 to moderate US sales, but good European sales. The lead single, a cover of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach", debuted with Houston rock band Pure Rubbish at the 2002 MTV Film Awards. The album, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboards Heatseekers chart, was met with mixed critical reviews and, by May 2003, Osbourne was dropped from Epic Records. By autumn she was on the Sanctuary label, later recording a duet of "Changes" (a Black Sabbath song) with her father. The duet reached No 1 in the UK charts, which resulted in a reissue of Shut Up, titled Changes. "Changes" was one of a few tracks to have fallen down the charts (from 1–3) while selling more copies than the week it reached number 1. Osbourne was the first artists to top all three of the Billboard charts dance surveys in the same week with the "Chris Cox Club Remix" of "One Word".Mason, Kerri (25 June 2005), "Peterson, Tommy Boy Immersed In African Sounds".

"KELLY OSBOURNE: 'I AM NOT QUITTING MUSIC'" Contactmusic.com Despite this, Osbourne's third studio album titled Miss Kelly Kelly: The Osbourne Boombox was shelved in late 2006 ahead of its official release. Reflecting on this period in her career during a 2024 episode of The Osbournes Podcast, Kelly expressed that, "I've definitely thought about it and what life would have been like if I hadn't stopped. It's definitely a regret. Will I do anything about that regret? I don't know."
