Kelly Osbourne, the 20-year-old daughter of heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne, has checked herself into a drug treatment center, according to a published report.
Osbourne entered the Pasadena facility on Thursday, Us Weekly reported Friday. A message left for her mother, Sharon Osbourne, was not immediately returned.
A family representative told the magazine that Kelly Osbourne was "dealing with some personal issues" and would be back in a few weeks. Kelly Osbourne spent several weeks last year at a Malibu drug treatment center for an addiction to prescription pain killers.

Police on Tuesday provided more details into the car crash between Lindsay Lohan and a photographer who was apparently trailing her, saying that the Mean Girls star was making a U-turn en route to a police vehicle when the celebrity shutterbug intentionally crashed into her car.
Lohan, 18, who originally was said to have escaped from the incident uninjured, in fact suffered cuts and bruises, and informed authorities that she would seek treatment on her own, police Lt. Ted Matthews tells the Associated Press.
The paparazzo, Galo Ramirez, 24, had followed Lohan in a van from Beverly Hills, Matthews said. Lohan, driving a 2005 Mercedes-Benz, spotted a police vehicle going the other direction on 3rd Street and was trying to reach it to report she was being pursued.
Ramirez then intentionally rammed the left rear of Lohan's car, Matthews said. "That obviously got the attention of the black-and-white unit," he said.

Actor David Hasselhoff is amazed at the lengths some of his fans go to in order to meet him - but he was especially taken aback when one admirer tried to kill herself to get his attention.
The crazed lady had become so fixated with former Baywatch star Hasselhoff that she jumped out of a high-story window when she couldn't speak to him.
But the actor was left surprised when he heard the fan's near-death experience hadn't left her any less determined to meet a celebrity. Hasselhoff recalls, "A woman threatened to jump out of a window unless she met me. She jumped, hit some awning and broke her leg."
--I opted for a vintage "Knight Rider" pic, since it was the best show he was ever on.

Hugh Jackman is back as host for the third year in a row, and the Broadway season's biggest musical hit, "Monty Python's Spamalot," is being challenged by three very different musicals.
Welcome to Sunday's 2005 Tony Awards (8 p.m.-11 p.m. EDT on CBS), where the production that could walk off with the most silver medallions is a play — John Patrick Shanley's "Doubt," which has picked up just about every other theater award given this spring, as well as a Pulitzer Prize. It's a shoo-in for best play Tony and probably several more honors, too.
Its competition for best play includes "The Pillowman" by Martin McDonagh, "Gem of the Ocean" by August Wilson and Michael Frayn's "Democracy."
Yet most of the attention will be focused on the musical categories where "Spamalot," a Mike Nichols-directed extravaganza based on "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," received 14 nominations. And the prime entertainment of every Tony telecast is a scene from each of the shows nominated for best musical and best musical revival.
--You have no idea how pumped I get for the Tony Awards. Seriously folks, watch them. If you aren't that interested in theater or musicals, watch anyway--you get the absolute best of every show--without having to sit through them. It's a star-studden affair--you won't be disappointed.

Red lipstick kisses are sun-baked into James Dean's pink granite gravestone, testifying to the enduring allure of the man who, 50 years after his death, remains a symbol of rebellious, misunderstood youth.
Frozen in time by death - forever handsome, sullen and projecting a cool nonchalance - Dean is winning new fans with his legacy of cinematic magic, sex appeal and tragedy.
His three big films have been digitally restored and were released Tuesday as a DVD box set. Film crews from around the world are visiting his hometown for documentaries.
And starting Friday, up to 100,000 people - including Martin Sheen and Dennis Hopper - are expected to converge on Fairmount, Ind., his birthplace, for a three-day festival featuring outdoor screenings of "East of Eden," "Rebel Without a Cause" and "Giant" on a huge screen at Marion's airport.
The former Indiana farm boy's lasting appeal stems in part from the era in which he made his big, but brief, splash, said San Francisco-based film historian David Thomson.

Tom Cruise continues to impose his Scientologist views on Katie Holmes.
She was set to star in "Factory Girl," about doomed Andy Warhol protégé Edie Sedgwick. But Cruise told Holmes to nix it, insiders said. "Edie was in and out of mental institutions and on all sorts of psychotropic drugs," said a spy. "Tom doesn't believe in those drugs because of Scientology."
Another insider said, "Tom didn't want her to take the role because it portrayed her as a victim and he said she should only take strong roles." Holmes' rep said: "Katie is not attached to that project."
--Sounds like, among others, Cruise has some control issues.

Halle Berry once promised to fulfill longtime Playboy picture editor Marilyn Grabowski's dream and bare all for the men's magazine.
The actress was an aspiring superstar 10 years ago when she agreed to meet with Grabowski after she was made an attractive offer to pose for Hugh Hefner's publication. Grabowski, who discovered Pamela Anderson and Anna Nicole Smith among others, recalls, "Halle Berry, I had dinner with 10 years ago and she said, 'When I've got the right film, I'll do it.' She wanted to (do it) but I haven't heard from her in the last couple of years."
Grabowski reveals the magazine also approached Britney Spears, but she wanted a "ridiculous" amount of money to disrobe: "It was too much, let's put it that way."

Rambo is coming out of hiding and looking for some fresh blood.
After a 17-year layoff, Sylvester Stallone is ready to reprise his role as everyone's favorite muscle-bound Green Beret for a fourth installment in the popular 1980s film franchise.
After protracted legal wrangling, the rights to Rambo were snapped up in 1997 by Miramax's genre division, Dimension Films. But a planned Rambo IV stalled. Now, with Miramax heads Harvey and Bob Weinstein exiting Disney, they have sold the sequel rights for the intrepid character to Nu Image/Millennium Films, and the project is finally moving forward.
In addition to breaking the old red bandanna out of mothballs, Stallone, 58, will write the screenplay.
"I've signed the deal and I have the old headband, machine gun and bow and arrow ready to go. I am looking forward to showing movie fans the real action hero again," Stallone said in a statement.
--Oh come on. Just what we need.

A 24-year-old male fan claims he was assaulted onstage Saturday during the Seattle-area stop of the "How the West Was One Tour."
Richard Monroe told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that he jumped onstage to dance — claiming he had been encouraged to do so by the rappers — during Snoop's hit "Gin and Juice" when a large group of people, including Snoop, began to hit and kick him repeatedly. He alleges that he also had alcohol poured on him while his diamond studs were ripped from his earlobes, and his watch, cell phone and wallet were stolen.
According to the report, eyewitnesses had varying accounts of what took place. Some onlookers claimed they saw a man rush the rappers from backstage before the fight broke out; another said that Game and the opening act, Oowee, also took part in the scuffle.

Kevin Spacey has played Bobby Darin and one of "The Usual Suspects." Now the actor-director will take on the role of mentor to showbiz interns in "Going Hollywood," a new eight-part TLC reality series.
The series, slated to premiere this fall, promises to go beyond the velvet rope and document the business of being an A-list celebrity. "The Hollywood featured in `Going Hollywood' is a place few have seen, and is a refreshing take on what we all believe constitutes `celebrity,'" David Abraham, TLC executive vice president and general manager, said in a statement Tuesday. "Beyond the glamorous premieres and jet-set travel is a world where grit, ambition and, above all, hard work, are the stuff that dreams are made of."
Spacey will be joined by producer Robert Evans and rapper-actor Method Man. During each hour-long episode, the interns will be featured working for Spacey's Trigger Street Productions, The Robert Evans Co. and Method Man Enterprises.

FHM editor-at-large Jake Bronstein's on-air comment that three-time FHM cover girl Beth Ostrosky and sex columnist is only famous because she dates Stern cost Bronstein his job. Bronstein's fatal mistake occurred during an interview on New York's cable channel G4TV's Attack of the Show last week.
"Nobody knew who Beth Ostrosky was before she became Howard Stern's girlfriend," said Bronstein. "It was a good move on her part."
Stern played Bronstein's comments on his own show the next day. "They kind of make me sound like a total dope," Stern commented. "She's the first one to admit she's only [on FHM's cover] because she's my girlfriend."
Ostrosky, whose covers outsell Halle Berry, reportedly received an apologetic message from Bronstein, but it was too late. FHM editor-in-chief Scott Gramling had already relieved Bronstein of his duties.

Hollywood actor Brad Pitt is convinced he will never get an Oscar because there is too much competition for the coveted award.
The 41-year-old has only received one Academy Award nomination for 1996 Terry Gilliam movie Twelve Monkeys.
He says, "I don't think I'm one of those guys who's considered. There are a lot of us around." "At the same time, it's fun to go to and look around and see what everyone did for the year." "But I don't want them to give me one when I'm old because they feel sorry for me!"
