Disappointed fans booed Kelly Osbourne when
she took the stage Thursday Night (Dec 12) to perform at the Claus Fest
in Uniondale New York.
Fans showed up for the radio-sponsored
show expecting Kellys father Ozzy Osbourne to perform. Instead Ozzy took
the stage simply to introduce his daughter to the disappointed fans. Kelly
was greeted with boos from the audience when she took the stage and the
crowds animosity reportedly continued throughout her 3 song set.
Kelly did however take the opportunity
to stir up the ongoing feud between former Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy
Corgan and her family. The feud dates back to 2000 when Sharon Osbourne
who was managing the Smashing Pumpkins, publicly dropped the band as a
client. At the time she issued an inflammatory statement that said in part,
unfortunately I must resign due to medical reasons...Billy Corgan was
making me sick!
Kelly told the audience that Billy Corgan
got his new band Zwan on the bill by having oral sex with the program director
of the radio station that sponsored the show. This was second recent
clash between Kelly and Corgan. Earlier this month at a radio show in Los
Angeles Kellys boyfriend, Bert McCracken (with the band the Used), reportedly
attempted to trip Corgan. In response Corgan allegedly kicked McCracken
in the stomach, according to press reports.
But the question remains, if Corgan who
is an accomplished musician was accused of having to perform oral sex to
land his spot on the roster, what did Kelly have to do to get the gig?
