Kelly: Fat 'worse than drugs' in Hollywood

Kelly Osbourne says the pressure to be thin in Hollywood is "a killer".

Kelly Osbourne says the pressure to be thin in Hollywood is "a killer".

The 20-year-old says she suffered more for being fat than for using drugs. She admits that she was doing drugs before The Osbournes debuted on TV, but suddenly hearing she wasn't thin enough or pretty enough didn't help her to just say no.

According to Kelly, it's an awful existence being famous because "you realise it's not about you. It's about what others want you to be."

Last year, Kelly was admitted to a drug rehabilitation clinic in California after admitting abusing painkillers. In 2003 she cancelled a European tour because of "health reasons".

Kelly's new single, One Word, will be released on May 9 and her second album Sleeping In The Nothing will be released on May 23.
