Is Kelly Osbourne back to drinking again after three years of sobriety?

Kelly Osbourne may be back to her partying ways. Which could be one possible explanation for those horrible corpse photos from the weekend. According to Radar, Kelly has “fallen off the wagon” in a big way, having been sober since 2009, when she was in rehab for her drug and alcohol addictions. Here’s the thing, though – I have doubts as to whether Kelly was ever really committed to being “on the alleged wagon.” I’ve heard stories about her drinking and drugging post-rehab. I’m just sayin’. Here’s Radar’s report:

After nearly three years of sobriety, Kelly Osbourne has fallen off the wagon and is back to boozing, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

The 27-year-old daughter of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne got clean in February of 2009 after completing a rehab stint for drug and alcohol addiction, but according to several sources the fashionista is back on the bottle.

“Kelly is definitely off the wagon again — at least when it comes to drinking,” an insider tells RadarOnline.com. “I’ve seen her out drinking cocktails, beer and champagne numerous times, and I’ve seen her pretty unsteady on her feet too.”

And just this past Sunday, Kelly guzzled cocktails at the Golden Globes after-party and got so wasted (as evidenced by the exclusive photo) that she almost fell over.

“Kelly was so wasted,” an eyewitness who partied with the Fashion Police host tells RadarOnline.com. “At one point she almost fell back and I had to catch her!”

According to the party pal, once Kelly gets alcohol in her system the claws come out in full force and she doesn’t hold back about her constant feuding with Christina Aguilera.

“When she gets drinking her hatred for Christina Aguilera really comes out,” the source said. “She spent the entire night talking about how much she hates Christina!”

The outspoken Brit and Christina have been battling for years, most recently with the newly slimmed-down Kelly poking fun at the Dirty singer’s curvy new figure.

“She called me fat for years. I was never that fat,” Kelly said on E! Fashion Police about Christina’s appearance at the Michael Jackson tribute concert.

And in September Kelly ranted about Christina’s bullying saying, “She called me fat for so many f***ing years. So you know what? F**k you! You’re fat too.”

“This is the side of Kelly that comes out when she’s drinking,” one of the sources told RadarOnline.com.

“Maybe she thinks it’s OK for her to be drinking as her past problems were pills, but as far as I know if you want to be ‘sober’ you need to be SOBER, period.”

Attempts to reach Kelly’s rep for comment were unsuccessful at time of publication.

[From Radar]

Sure. I’ll buy that. All of it, actually. I think she’s probably still drinking, and I’ll buy that she bitches about Christina Aguilera when she’s wasted. The problem isn’t that Christina bullied Kelly (which probably did happen) – the problem is that both Christina and Kelly are boozehound monsters.

Also – did you realize that Kelly is 27 years old? For whatever reason, I thought she was younger than that. I tend to think that when “celebrities” struggle with alcohol and drug problems very early, and then go into rehab and start with the program at a young age, that they’re more likely to relapse later. Not to get all psychoanalytical, but I imagine it’s difficult to be only 22 or 23 years old and think, “Hey, I’m 22 and I can’t have a drink for the rest of my life.” I’m not saying that as a justification, merely as an explanation for why Kelly seems to be back to her partying ways.

(PS… Do you know why I stopped drinking to excess – and why I’ve only been drunk-ish once in a year? I don’t want the extra calories. Instead of making it about sobriety, I’ve made it about empty alcohol calories, and it works for me. I bet it would work for Kelly too.)

    She must have been drunk to leave the house looking like that…

    • brin says:

      Yeah, that explains all her choices lately.

      • laylajanelovesgossip says:

        A. Who talked her into coloring her hair silver? They need to be fired.

        B. Fire whoever told her it was cute, and who looked her in her face and said it was ok or she would be a trend started with that hair color.

        C. Fire whoever talked her into those outfits and the lip color..FAIL!!!!

        PS
        Is she trying to show us what her corpse may look like?

    • Lacey says:

      I know! My first thought upon reading the headline was: “well that explains the hair…”

  2. kay says:

    I’ll buy this, totally.

    I don’t drink because of the calories either, I prefer food. My sister though, drinks instead of eating. She looks it too.

  3. Overrated says:

    I don’t know who is fuglier, Kelly or Rumer Willis.

  4. Bermuda Blues says:

    It would explain why she chose *Grandmother’s Mauve* as the shade of her hair dye.

    Also – its very common for those with addictive personalities to simply swap out one addiction for another. Pills for Booze. Booze for cigarettes. Additionally, food and control issues go hand in hand with addiciton. I would not be suprised if Kelly is finding sobriety harder than she imagined, and has taken up a few bad habits, thinking she can control herself.

  5. CTgirl says:

    Only drinking can explain the grey, blue, lavender hair. She looks like a really busted Mrs. Haversham.

    • Petunia says:

      I really did have to wonder about how her hair ended up as it did. Who on earth actually puts gray into their hair? At first I thought she’d gone grey before remembering she’s too young. If not from booze, I can’t imagine the justification for purposely dying your hair grey.

      As for drinking, I’ve seldom met a person who’s actually enhanced their personality with booze.

  6. Liz says:

    Surely, at 27, you’d know enough about makeup to not leave the house with your face and neck different colours? And how to use fake tan – assuming you really want to, that is?

    (And those emsembles to “events”, no less…)

    I know this is completely petty, but it makes me question both Kelly’s judgement and the judgement of her makeup artist (and hairdresser). It makes me wonder has she antagonised some makeup artist.

  7. Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

    I wonder if kelly was super demanding at the salon and then neglected to tip the colorist. A friend of mine is a hairdresser and if the client is super picky, demanding then he fugs up their hair so they don’t come back as he is super busy anyways so he keeps the good clients that treat well and tip well.

    • Liz says:

      I can buy that she was horrible at the hair salon, but I suspect that the colour is meant to be like that.

      I remember, a while back, that a lot of style magazines (especially the ones that come with newspapapers) were trying to push grey hair on young women.

      Apparently, it’s “edgy” and “rebellious”. I think that’s what Kelly is going for.

      It’s just that – well, let me put it tactfully. Grey is hard to pull off at the best of times, and it’s not right for her.

      Add to that her terrible fashion sense, baffling makeup and general douchiness, and it’s an awful combination.

      I don’t think the hairdresser messed this up, deliberately or otherwise, at all.

      • vanessa says:

        hahahaha….I love it, and “the general douchiness” perfection.

      • jay says:

        I do believe she is trying to be “fashion forward” and ahead of the curve. But she’s no better then the Kardashians. They also think they’re the most fashionable people ever.

  8. Asli says:

    I CANNOT get over this Bride-of-Frankenstein/ Mrs. Doubtfire revamped hair!

  9. lucy2 says:

    There is no other explanation for her current look!

  10. Marjalane says:

    Yeah, I had to jump on the “booze is too damn fattening” wagon as well. After 35, it just attaches itself to your gut. Although I do love the occasional vodka and crystal lite lemonade….

  11. ladybert62 says:

    Why the grey hair? It looks awful.

    And speaking of awful, she has an anchor tattoo? Now that is awful.

  12. Meg says:

    She’s a liar. Look at her arms and legs. There is no muscle definition at all. It means that she lost her weight becouse some gastric procedure. I don’t blame her for choosing easer way but why is she acting that way. WTF is wrong with her? She is obsessed with Christina. Is she using her as a excuse to get drink? Pathetic.

  13. dena says:

    This cow is ugly on the inside, too, just like her crass mother.

  14. Julie says:

    I’ve been told 1 in 30 in rehab actually make it. Seen pp in and out like it’s a rotating door. Very sad.

  15. madpoe says:

    Is she intentionally trying to look like a used chalkboard eraser? Does one go into the salon and pick the hair color “chalkboard”? Curious.

  16. cstexas says:

    wonder if this is the blindgossip blind item today? it sort of fits, but I guess it would be silly to do a blind item when it’s in actual magazines.

  17. lw says:

    I doubt that she was ever sober. Seems like a lot of people claim to be sober as long as they are no longer on the hardcore drugs like heroin, meth,coke etc…
    As a side note, I really can’t STAND this girl. How she sits on Fashion Police and acts as if she is some sort of authority on style is beyond me. 99% of the time she should be on any worst dressed list. The huge head. The smugness. The hideous tats. Actually the gray hair is the least visually offensive thing about her. Gross inside and out.

  18. Ari says:

    I like to drink WITH my food. Sometimes I will drink then eat (something healthy.)

    I have started working out more and eating less more frequently. It seems to be working but I will never give up my wine – its delicious! haha…

    She looks like sh$t.

  19. chloe w says:

    this specific headline is why i do’nt think u should ever announce sobriety

  20. for real? says:

    lol thats totally my reason for cutting back on the alcohol!!! it works for me too

  21. juju says:

    I would drink if I looked like her, it doesnt matter how much weight you lost, still ugly. Now throw in the grey hair, real cute, NOT !!!!!!

  22. Happy21 says:

    I’m not into excess drinking these days either and the calorie count is the reason. I never really thought of it before this last couple of years but it really adds up. Especially because I like beer. I have a few quite heavy friends who drink beer like dudes but try to diet. No wonder why it isn’t working!!

    As far as Kelly O goes. She’s a nasty piece of work. The grey/lavender hair is god-awful! Especially when paired with the matching shirt in that one photo. I don’t think she ever took sobriety seriously either. I think she used it as a way to try to control her drinking so that she could have a few to be social. Unfortuantely, it doesn’t work like that.

  23. somnambulist says:

    Hahaha…..while in Munich for the E entertainment launch the team had to buy her some cocaine which she snorted like a hoover….sober…haha, still laughing…..

  24. whatevs says:

    ok so xtina can be super bitchy sometimes but so is kelly and all the osbournes actually. nobody gives a fuq about kelly-she’s just the spoiled daughter of a rich, washed up has been. she needs to stop yearning for attention because i suspect she hasn’t been doing just alcohol. and god she is so delusional. “i was never fat” “i was never as fat as she is” hello you were indeed fat and xtina’s are mostly bloat and you looked way bigger anyway. she needs to let go of the past, grow the fuck up and become a useful person somehow. does she even go to college? because she is lacking in the talent department sorely.

    • Coucou says:

      HOW DARE YOU talk about Ozzie like that! He is NOT a has been, he is a Rock Legend! And Kelly gets her looks from him, that’s why this weird hair and lips aren’t working, she’s better on the “dark side.”

      Listen to Sweet Leaf, or Paranoid, or Crazy Train before you say her dad’s a has been. That shit rocks FOREVAH!

  25. truthful says:

    THAT is the same reason I do not drink like I used to, the CALORIES.

    I happen to love beer and used to belong to a beer club, I had to give it up, if I drink now, it will be once or twice a yr and I will not get sloshed.

    I can’t spare the calories as I get older, I’d rather have whole foods and nutrients for my body.

    the alcohol weight stays on me, waaay after the hangover is gone. I miss beer and wine but I can’t anymore.

    THIS explains why she looks like she does, I bet she is a very mean drunk. sad.

  26. Bad Fairy says:

    Stop picking on Kelly.
    Cuz she’s not famous because of her parents!
    She did it all herself!
    (Entitled little snot)

  27. Pia says:

    I’d probably be a fat boozehound too if alcohol didn’t make me feel like I am going to die. I can’t have a single drink without getting sick. I’ll end up throwing up before I can even catch a buzz. It’s pretty lame sometimes at parties, but I know I’m better off that way 🙂

  28. Happymom says:

    Of course she’s fallen off the wagon. She keeps having “accidents”-remember the recent trips to the hospital? She’s been a few times in the last 6 months.

  29. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    In those getups, I HOPE she was drunk.

  30. Floridaseaturtle says:

    Obviously she was trying for some edgy (?) effect or something with her hair, but it so obviously didn’t work. If she just changed it, to a dark brown maybe, or even almost black might work with that cut. You know who ROCKS the gray?….Jamie Lee Curtis! Of course, she is the appropriate age but she looks stunning. I actually believe her in her commercials, looking like she is the perfect kind of maturing gracefully. Sorry, went a little off track, but the gray hair made me think of her…and also seeing pics of other maturing stars, with all their surgery. Jamie just looks like someone that does it right. (gonna run…go get me some Activia..!)

  31. Lissa says:

    Both Xtina and Kelly may be drunk crazy bitches, but I can’t help but to like Xtina way more. She has talent and had to work hard to get to where she is, unlike Kelly. And Kelly WAS fatter than Xtina has ever been. Today’s chubby Xtina stills looks a helluva lot better than Kelly’s old fat self (and even today’s skinnier version!)

    Also, I recall Xtina laughing in an interview a few years ago about how she confronted Kelly at some party and pretty much asked her what’s up with her trash talking and Kelly responded by saying, “No, that wasn’t me that was my Motha!” Ha ha, if she hates her so much why doesn’t she have the balls to walk up to her and say it? Xtina did.

  32. HadleyB says:

    Problem I have with this is :

    Who calls her a fashionista and why ? She isn’t one. Never will be and has no experience with it unless you count having tons of your daddy’s money to purchase fashion with

    Also : it doesn’t matter HOW far xtina is,ever. Xtina has talent and while I doubt her choices lately in life, fashion , men and her weight issues. She can sing.

    So Kelly please don’t ever think you are the next Victoria B.

  33. Penguin says:

    Bless her. I’m an alcoholic and she looks like I do when I fall off the wagon. Puffy and sallow looking. I think Christina has drinking issues too, unfortunately.

  34. ThatBoyLuke says:

    I agree, I’m so tired of the Christina bashing… it’s so 2011.

    • blah says:

      Word the fuck up. Xtina has talent. She shouldn’t even be in the same sentence as Nepotism Osbourne.

  35. blah says:

    I didn’t mind her terribly when she was hosting Project Catwalk but now that she’s on Joan River’s show she’s insufferable. Who the f–k are those fugly pieces of talentless sh-t with the worst wardrobes imaginable to criticize other peoples’s fashion choices. Worst is when Kelly and Joan talk abt how such and such isn’t really “pretty”, or how someone else is getting “fat”. I’d rather be f–king fat than look like either of them.

    Barbara Bush says the blue dress is very cutting edge (it just needs pearls):

  37. Maya says:

    Who cares?

  38. Bambi says:

    Thought #1: She must be a serious alcoholic because look at that jaundice!

    Thought #2: Is that jaundice, or is the lavender-grey hair just bringing out the yellow in her skin?

    Thought #3: No, wait– it looks like she’s just wearing yellow-toned foundation.

    Thought #4: But what kind of person would apply yellow foundation and then top it off with fuchsia lipstick?

    Thought #5: I guess the same person who would allow herself to be photographed in that god-awful dress!

    Thought #6: Could a perpetual drunken state account for all of this?

  39. Palermo says:

    She looks embalmed in those pictures

  40. Maya says:

    If you add a little blood splotches on her dress and around her mouth, she can pass for a zombie.

  41. Meanchick says:

    Never was a fan or hers. No talent, just a foul mouth. Get over the Christina thing, it’s old. Neither one of them are slim women and it doesn’t matter. Oh and describing her as a “fashionista?” According to whom? Her clothes look like they were made in a HS home-ec class. If this girl didn’t have famous parents, she’d be dropping fries at Burger King.

  42. Cat says:

    Drinking alcohol stops you burning fat for 72 hours afterwards….. That’s my reason for cutting back. Plus with age hangovers get way worse!
