Kelly Osbourne Says Ozempic ‘Trend’ Is ‘Amazing’ Amid Mom Sharon’s Struggles With Weight Loss Drug

Kelly Osbourne is pro-Ozempic! The TV personality gave the type 2 diabetes drug her stamp of approval in a recent interview, calling the “trend” of using it for weight loss “amazing.”

“There are a million ways to lose weight, why not do it through something that isn’t as boring as working out?” Kelly, 39, told E! News at Dolly Parton‘s Pet Gala red carPet on January 30. The “One Word” singer also hit back at those who criticize other people, especially celebrities, for using Ozempic as a weight loss drug even though it’s for patients with type 2 diabetes.

“People hate on it because they want to do it,” she added. “And the people who hate on it the most are the people who are secretly doing it or pissed off that they can’t afford it. Unfortunately, right now it’s something that is very expensive but it eventually won’t be because it actually works.”

 Kelly Osbourne Made 'Big Changes' to Shed Pounds: Weight Loss Photos

Kelly, who had gastric sleeve surgery in 2020 and lost 85 pounds, has previously opened up about her weight journey. She admitted that she went “too far” while trying to drop her baby weight after welcoming son Sidney with boyfriend Sid Wilson in 2022.

“I was on a mission after having the baby to lose all my baby weight,” she told Scheana Shay on the “Scheananigans” podcast in September 2023. “Then I was like, ‘Well, I lost all the baby weight. Let’s see how far I can go with it.’ And then went a little too far.”

Kelly added that her weight loss journey “stopped” after that.

Kelly’s comments on Ozempic came amid mom Sharon Osbourne’s struggles with the drug. The Rock Wives star, 71, took the medication in December 2022 and lost 30 pounds. However, she stopped taking it after four months because she lost too much weight and has since struggled to gain it back. She’s been extremely candid about her experience with Ozempic, telling Bill Maher on his “Club Random” podcast in August 2023 that her first few weeks on the drug were “f–king s–t” because she was “[throwing] up all the time.”

Sharon said in September 2023 that she was down 42 pounds and “didn’t actually want to go this thin.” The following month, she revealed that she weighed under 100 pounds and still couldn’t gain anything back. The British TV personality warned against giving Ozempic to teens.

“I couldn’t stop losing weight and now I’ve lost 42 pounds and I can’t afford to lose any more,” she told The Daily Mail.

 Sharon Osbourne Says She Doesn't 'Regret' Her Ozempic Journey

Sharon even admitted that husband Ozzy Osbourne didn’t “like” and was concerned about how much weight she lost. However, despite her setbacks and warnings about Ozempic, Sharon said in January that she didn’t “regret” taking it. She only wished she could gain 10 pounds back.

“Everything with weight with me was, ‘I want it now,’” she said on the Loose Women talk show. “The injections that I was on worked, but it just seems that now I can’t put anything back on really.”

Joyce Tsang of Stone & Star on Self-Care and Setting Intentions for the New Year

Image
Joyce Tsang, the founder of Stone & Star, shares her self-care routine and tells Prestige why 2024 is the year of ceremony, celebration and new rituals. This year is an eight-year in astrology, which is all about abundance and expansion. There’s a shift happening this year that will never happen again in this lifetime and it’s Pluto moving into Aquarius. And if you subscribe to feng shui, all the masters will tell you we’re entering a new 20-year cycle. Either way, it’s almost like a rebirth for everyone. It also fits nicely with the Year of the Wood Dragon too, which is all about building a foundation and growth. This is the Year of Ceremony for me. There’s so much around this word, it could mean a public ceremony, like a marriage, or it could mean an inner ceremony and setting new rituals. The most important thing to remember this year is to treat life as sacred and to celebrate life and to embrace all the joys and magnificent experiences tha...

Fitbit vs Apple Watch: Which fitness tracker is better?

Image
When choosing a new fitness tracker, the decision often boils down to one key contest: Fitbit vs Apple Watch. The two mammoth brands have been at the top of the tracker game for years and, though the likes of Garmin and Whoop also boast some of the best fitness trackers on the market, the pair remain two of the biggest names in the wearable space.  But, with many people looking to upgrade, which one should you pick to take pride of place on your wrist? Unfortunately, there’s no simple answer to that question. Instead, you have to consider your health and fitness goals, what you plan to use the tracker for, and the metrics you value most to determine which brand wins. Not only this, but you’ve also got to pick which Fitbit or Apple Watch you want, with different models and generations offering varying degrees of detail in their health and fitness feedback (not to mention catering to a range of budgets).  To help you make your mind up, we’ve considered t...

'Parrot fever' outbreak in 5 European countries kills 5 people

Image
An outbreak of a respiratory infection that most often affects birds has killed five people in Europe, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns. During 2023 and the start of 2024, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands have reported an "unusual and unexpected increase" in cases of so-called parrot fever, beyond what's been seen in previous years, the WHO said in a statement Tuesday (March 5). In all, the illness has affected almost 90 people, with five deaths reported among them.  Parrot fever, or psittacosis , is caused by a species of bacteria called Chlamydia psittaci (also spelled Chlamydophila psittaci ) . The bacteria can infect many mammals — including dogs, cats and horses — but most often infects birds.  Humans can catch psittacosis by inhaling airborne particles containing C. psittaci , but human-to-human transmission of the disease is very rare , with only a handful of cases ever reported. Instead, most people develop psittacosi...
