Jack Osbourne Diagnosed With Multiple Sclerosis

Ozzy’s son, 26, is ‘angry and frustrated’ about the diagnosis, which comes just weeks after birth of his daughter. By Gil Kaufman Jack Osbourne Photo: Former “Osbournes” star Jack Osbourne has revealed that he’s been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Osbourne, 26, discovered that he suffers from the central nervous system disease just two weeks after celebrating the birth of his daughter, Pearl Clementine, with fiancée Lisa Stelly 
. Osbourne told People magazine that the diagnosis shocked and angered him and has thrown him for a loop. “I was just angry and frustrated and kept thinking, ‘Why now?'” he told the magazine. “I’ve got a family and that’s what’s supposed to be the most important thing.” It’s unknown how the disease — which impacts the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, causing problems with muscle control and strength as well as vision and balance — will impact Osbourne’s health. The results vary widely from patient-to-patient, which some suffering only minor health problems and others become seriously debilitated. Sister Kelly Osbourne tweeted about Jack on Sunday, writing, “Please support my brother @mrjacko in not only his bravery but honesty! I love you so much Jack & I’m so proud of you!” Jack, who has struggled with addiction in the past, kept a stiff upper lip , tweeting on Sunday that, “This is the best father’s day I’ve ever had! Hahaha.” He followed by thanking those who have reached out to him, writing, “Thank you all so much for the kind and inspirational words. It means a lot.” please support my brother @ mrjacko in not only his bravery but honesty! i love you so much jack & I’m so proud of you! people.com/people/article… — Kelly Osbourne (@MissKellyO) June 17, 2012 Mother Sharon Osbourne spoke to Britain’s Hello magazine, reportedly wondering if something she did may have contributed to her son’s illness. “I keep thinking, ‘what did I do wrong? What did I eat or drink when I was pregnant?’ I feel like it’s somehow my fault.” The mag also spoke to rock icon Ozzy, who wondered how his history of drug abuse didn’t catch up with him before his son. “If it was me, you’d think: ‘Ozzy had a reputation and it caught up with him,'” Ozzy said. “But Jack is such a good guy.” Jack said he’s trying to keep a positive attitude about the diagnosis and is treating the disease using a combination of drugs, holistic therapies and lifestyle changes.

Radiohead Pay Tribute To Drum Tech Killed In Stage Collapse

Band’s drummer, Philip Selway, says group is ‘shattered’ by death of friend Scott Johnson. By Gil Kaufman The collapsed section of stage at Toronto’s Downsview Park Photo: A day after a stage collapse 
 killed one person an injured three more, Radiohead issued a statement about the accident that caused the cancellation of their show at Toronto’s Downsview Park. The victim has been identified as the band’s drum tech, Scott Johnson, 33, a native of Doncaster, England. According to the Toronto Star , Johnson sustained a “crushing injury’ when the stage collapse while he and other members of the band’s crew were setting up the stage for the show. The other three crew members were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Radiohead drummer Philip Selway issued a statement on Sunday paying tribute to Johnson. ” We have all been shattered by the loss of Scott Johnson, our friend and colleague,” he wrote. “He was a lovely man, always positive, supportive and funny; a highly skilled and valued member of our great road crew. We will miss him very much. Our thoughts and love are with Scott’s family and all those close to him.” The Star reported that three inspectors and two engineers from the Ministry of Labour scoured the accident scene on Sunday in search of the cause of the collapse. A spokesperson said the investigation is “fairly complex” and some industry professionals wondering what could have caused the incident, which occurred on an otherwise nice, sunny day with light winds. The incident is the latest in a string of stage collapses over the past year, which include a death at the Bluesfest in Ottawa last July, six deaths at a Sugarland concert 
 in Indianapolis in August and five deaths in Belgium 
 after a storm swept in and toppled a stage at the Pukkelpop Festival. Related Artists Radiohead

SMH: Bullied Gay Student “Dynasty” Expelled From School For Firing Stun Gun [Video]

Bullied Gay Student “Dynasty” Expelled From School For Firing Stun Gun Here is an update to the story involving a gay student who brought a stun gun to school to protect himself from bullies: A gay student who said he fired a stun gun in the air at school when bullies threatened him has been expelled, according to the school district. Darnell “Dynasty” Young, a junior at Arsenal Technical High School in Indianapolis, may return to school in the district on Jan. 7, 2013, Indianapolis Public Schools said Tuesday in an e-mail statement. Young, 17, said bullies hounded him daily. The harassment escalated on April 16, when a group surrounded him at school and threatened to beat him up, according to the Indianapolis Star. Young took the stun gun, which he had stashed in his backpack for a few weeks, and fired it off in the air. The students dispersed, but within minutes, school police had arrested Young, 17. “My point was not to hurt anybody … the purpose was to back them off. I didn’t know what else to do,” he told msnbc’s NewsNation on Monday. The district said it had accepted the decision of an examiner, who presided over Young’s hearing last week, to expel him. “While the district does not condone bullying, it also does not allow weapons to be brought on our school campuses for any reason. Students who violate this rule will be held accountable,” Mary Louise Bewley, director of the district’s Office of School and Community Relations, said in the e-mail statement. When reached by phone on Tuesday, Young declined to comment. His mother, Chelisa Grimes, said she couldn’t believe her son had been expelled. “They really kicked him out,” she told the newspaper. Principal Larry Yarrell earlier said the school had tried to look into the bullying reports, but Young was not always able to identify all of those who had harassed him. He said they had interviewed staff and students, and he had also recommended that Young “tone down” his accessories. Carolyn Laub, Executive Director of the Gay-Straight Alliance Network, denounced the district’s decision. “Dynasty, like many other lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender young people, was pushed out of school by an administration that failed to keep him safe and by school discipline policies that remove students instead of resolve the problem,” Laub said in an e-mail statement. “When schools use a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to school discipline, they unfortunately reinforce an environment of fear and punishment and fail to create a climate of inclusion, safety, and respect for all students.” What do you guys think…should they have expelled Dynasty???

What The Hell?? 10-Year-Old Boy Served Rum At An Indianapolis Olive Garden

10-Year-Old Boy Served Rum At An Indianapolis Olive Garden A waitress at an Indianapolis Olive Garden mistakenly served rum to a 10-year-old boy Thursday, police said. According to police, the boy had ordered a non-alcoholic wildberry frullato daiquiri for children but the waitress mistakenly brought back a drink that had rum in it. The child drank about 2 ounces of the 4 ounce drink before the waitress realized her mistake. The waitress told management about the error and the restaurant’s manager then told the parents. The manager reportedly said the child would be fine but the parents took the boy to the hospital just to be sure. Tests revealed the boy did have alcohol in his system, but that it equaled less than 1 percent. Officers said the child appeared to be fine, though he was a little shaken up. Police determined the waitress acted without any malice. Police also determined the family’s tab didn’t show that any alcohol had been ordered. Olive Garden released the following statement Friday: “We find this situation completely unacceptable and we are extremely upset that this occurred. “We have a zero tolerance policy for any violation of our responsible alcohol service policy, and the employee who served the wrong drink has been terminated. We are thankful that the child is OK and we will continue to work with the family to resolve this issue.” The mix-up came roughly a year after a mom said her toddler got a little tipsy after being served sangria at an Olive Garden southeast of Orlando, Fla.

Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems: Feds Pop Shady Financial Advisors For Embezzling $2 Milli From Colts Baller Dwight Freeney

Feds Arrest Dwight Freeney’s Financial Advisors For Embezzling Over $2 Million From NFL Player SMH… This is why you can’t trust anybody around your money! NFL player Dwight Freeney had to learn that lesson the hard way. According to TMZ reports : While Indianapolis Colts stud Dwight Freeney was crushing NFL QBs … 2 financial advisors allegedly sacked him in an embezzlement scheme involving millions of dollars, luxury hotels, and a private jet … TMZ has learned. According to the Federal complaint — obtained by TMZ — Eva D. Weinberg and Michael A. Stern were busted late last week after a lengthy investigation revealed how they “conspired to defraud victim D.F., a professional football player.” According to the docs, Weinberg is a financial advisor at Bank of America who worked with Freeney, controlled several of his accounts, and introduced him to Stern … also a financial advisor. The feds claim Weinberg and Stern did major damage between May 2010 and October 2011 — making $2.2 million in fraudulent transfers from Dwight’s accounts to Arms Reach Consulting — a company controlled by Stern. When Freeney finally noticed one of the bogus transfers in 2011, and discovered Weinberg and Stern were dating … he called the FBI. One FBI investigator says some of the items Weinberg and Stern purchased with Freeney’s cash include expensive sunglasses, stays in luxury hotels, and — best of all — they planned to buy a private jet for $1.5 million! According to the docs, agents even heard Stern brag on the phone … “no one would be able to connect him to the [consulting] account if the wire transfers were investigated.” Clearly he was wrong … agents arrested Weinberg in L.A. and Stern in Miami. Both were charged with wire fraud. Calls to Freeney’s attorney were not immediately returned. Damn son… They were trying to get a private plane with his money!!! More On Bossip!

Madonna: 2012 Super Bowl Halftime Show!

Madonna Gives High Energy Super Bowl Halftime Show

Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., LMFAO and Cee Lo Green help pull out all the stops for elaborate show featuring Cirque du Soliel and high-tech staging By John Mitchell Madonna performs at the Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show Photo: Win McNamee/ Getty Images Madonna promised pom-poms for her Super Bowl XLVI half-time performance but she delivered a whole lot more, a high-energy spectacle packed with Roman warriors, Cirque du Soliel dancers, marching bands, cheerleaders and some very famous guests. She made quite an entrance, that’s for sure, riding onto the field at Lucas Oil Stadium on a throne dressed in full-on Cleopatra mode pulled by dancers dressed like Roman warriors. Decked out in a gold cape and massive headpiece with banners flying behind her, Madonna took the stage to “Vogue” as the song’s title flashed among the images on the high-tech LED stage and amazing digitized field below her. Cirque du Soliel’s theatrical presentation and acrobatic dancing were apparent throughout, but never more so than during “Vogue,” when the lavish staging met with tight choreography and Madonna sounding and looking great for an inspired spectacle and perhaps one of the biggest and boldest live performances of its kind ever attempted. She displayed none of the nerves she’d uncharacteristically been copping to in the lead-up to the event, tearing through her hits with plenty of superstar swagger and hitting all her dance moves just right. She had a good reason to be nervous though: Tonight’s (February 5) game in Indianapolis, Indiana is expected to be the most-watched television event of the year. Last year’s Super Bowl drew over 162 million viewers in the US alone. Next up, Madonna and a team of dancers, now a bunch of Adidas-wearing b-boys, met on some light-up bleachers for an athletic take on “Music” that segued straight into a dance-heavy remixes of “Party Rock Anthem” and “Sexy and I Know It” featuring guest’s LMFAO , proving that the 53-year-old pop legend can still keep up (and then some) on the dance floor. The promised pom-poms Madonna surfaced when she lit into her new single, “Give Me All Your Luvin,” along with a blonde Nicki Minaj and a, ahem, bird-flipping MIA . That’s right, the lone bit of controversy around the often provocative Madonna’s Super Bowl show will most like have to do with the Sri Lankan singer briefly flipping off the camera. The otherwise slickly produced show went off without a hitch. The Queen of Pop gamely picked up some gold pom-poms to cheer alongside Minaj, M.I.A. and a team of cheering dancers during the track, giving off the look and feel of the recently released clip for the song. Minaj and M.I.A. both got a chance to shine too, rapping their parts on the track’s breakdown. As expected, she performed three vintage tunes (“Vogue,” Music” and “Like a Prayer”) and one new one, “Give Me All Your Luvin,” the lead single from her forthcoming 12th studio album, MDNA . She partnered with a creative team from Cirque du Soleil, her longtime choreographer/creative director Jamie King and multimedia artists from Moment Factory, to plan the spectacular show. For the finale, Cee Lo Green marched on stage as the drum major to a large marching band, starting briefly into small bites of “Open Your Heart” and “Express Yourself before suiting up into sparking robes for a full-voiced rendition of “Like a Prayer.” Madonna and Cee-Lo were joined for a choir for the performance, which saw Madonna falling to her knees as she sang her classic track. She then stepped to the back of stage and vanished into a cloud of smoke, disappearing beneath the stage and leaving the still-cheering stadium wanting more.
