Kelly Osbourne loves critiquing celebs on E!’s Fashion Police, but she could do without the death threats. In the new issue of Life & Style, out now, she confides that she has been bullied for simply doing her job.“I get abuse from viewers,” Kelly tells Life & Style.
Kelly says she gets the bulk of the backlash,adding, “No one says anything mean to Joan Rivers — she’s a 70-year-old woman and they’re not going to do that. I get the blame!”
In fact, Kelly, 27, was truly stunned when a Beyoncé fan wished Kelly dead after Joan made an unkind remark about the singer. “I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ I know if Beyoncé ever saw that, she would never want a fan like that,” she says. “Internet bullying is a serious thing.”

John Walsh’s pioneering series, America’s Most Wanted, television’s top crime-fighting show, has already made a difference since its premiere on Lifetime, having led to last weekend’s capture of two men alleged to be involved in a brazen Washington, DC, shootout that killed two people, including a 15-year old boy, and injured five others.
Investigators have been trying to track down the gunmen since the shooting in October 2009. The suspects, Antonio Barnes and Earl Jackson, were featured on America’s Most Wanted on Friday, January 6, 2012.
One week later, a Lifetime viewer who watched the episode contacted the show’s Hotline with information about the men, placing them in Charlotte, North Carolina.
With information from the America’s Most Wanted caller, investigators obtained a search warrant for the location. Early on January 14, 2012, a heavily-armed contingent of law enforcement officers executed the search warrant and arrested both Barnes and Jackson, ending the two-year manhunt.
Barnes and Jackson were wanted for their alleged involvement in the vicious October 12, 2009, shootout in the Clay Terrace neighborhood of Washington, DC. The lengthy shootout, which was suspected to have been sparked by an earlier robbery, involved anywhere from five to ten gunmen. Barnes and Jackson were then rumored to have fled to the Southern United States.
More information on their cases can be found at http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=79333 and http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=79334.
America’s Most Wanted was on site while law enforcement officials executed the warrant and obtained footage of the arrests.
“Our fans did not let us down, proving that our show is a true American institution and a reckoning force. After such a tremendous response to our return to television on Lifetime, now more than ever we are committed to bringing these cases to viewers across America so they can put criminals behind bars. We know this double capture is the first of many and we’ll keep helping those crime victims that need us the most,” said Walsh.
“Once again America’s Most Wanted proves it’s a true public service,” said Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President of Programming for Lifetime. “Lifetime is so proud that we can provide this vital programming for our viewers, assist in these captures and help make this country a safer place.”
Since its 1988 premiere America’s Most Wanted has become one of the most important programs on television, having played a major role in the capture of more than 1,100 fugitives in the U.S. and 30 countries, including 17 on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List, and the rescue of 61 children and missing persons during the program’s history.
Aside from its landmark status in the annals of television as a leader in using the medium to apprehend the world’s most dangerous criminals, the series also has shaped legislation and the national dialogue on crime fighting, and received numerous honors for its work. The influential series has helped lead to arrests in major unsolved crimes, such as the missing Elizabeth Smart case and the murder of Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen.

The Hollywood Foreign Press presented the Golden Globe Awards to the movies and actors that group considers to be deserving of this year’s recognition.
Ricky Gervais was back to host the show to stir up a little controversy like last year – and while he was a handful then, Sunday night’s program was pretty much a snooze-fest.
There were also no surprises, except for The Descendants taking the award for Best Motion Picture – Drama. The flick was in the same category with Steven Spielberg’s stunning epic War Horse and Martin Scorsese’s dazzler Hugo.
The rest of the awards went off as predicted.

Cesar Millan isn’t a man who can easily blend into a crowd. After eight years of rehabilitating canines on The Dog Whisperer, there are few that don’t automatically recognize him.
And that recognition often means doling out advice to frustrated pet owners who can’t seem to cure their dogs’ antsy antics. Millan has learned to live with the attention, though he admits there have been times when he’s been caught off guard by who, and when he’s approached for help.
“It’s scary when a pilot of the plane comes out and asks you a question and we’re in the air,” Millan laughs. “[The pilot] was anxious to ask me a question about his golden retriever and I was like, ‘You’re the pilot, you should go in there (motion to an imaginary cockpit).’”
He, of course, gave up the info to the pilot and didn’t really mind at all. Millan enjoys meeting other animal lovers. In fact, the only time he doesn’t give his full attention to fans is when he’s with his children.
“I say, ‘I’m a dad right now,’ ” he offers. “Otherwise, if my kids are not around I have fun helping.”
The Dog Whisperer has long been a staple on National Geographic Channel. Now, the show has been moved to Nat Geo Wild, the company’s latest cable entry dedicated to programming with animals in mind. The move was a smart decision considering Millan’s loyal following, which Nat Geo is hoping will generate higher ratings for the new channel.
“Isn’t it great,” he asks. “I’m just happy to have a job. I am honored that they feel they can trust my reputation. I know the value of a dog. The dog is universal, the dog is level. Me and the dog are pretty much the same thing, so what they’re really saying is, ‘People love dogs, let’s bring the dog guy in.’ ”
The Dog Whisperer airs Saturdays, 8:00 p.m. ET/PT, Nat Geo Wild.
Blogger Jenna Burke’s over-the-top, overemotional behavior on the first episode of The Bachelor was the talk of the Web for days, with fellow bloggers calling her everything from “crazy” to “codependent” to “bunny boiler.”
Even departing contestant Amber Tierney got into the act, referring to Jenna as a “hot mess” and suggesting that Ben Flajnik, 28, may have given her a rose simply to keep her from having another meltdown.
But while Jenna did lock herself in the bathroom and sob after a bizarre confrontation with fellow contestant Monica Spannbauer, during which she angrily suggested they “share a tampon sometime,” a friend of hers claims the Jenna we saw on-screen is a far cry from the sweet, down-to-earth girl she knows. “It was nerves,” Jenna’s friend Maggie Maskery insists to In Touch, adding that a few glasses of wine on an empty stomach didn’t help matters, either. “Jenna said she overheard Monica saying she didn’t like her, and so she confronted her,” Maggie explains. “But she isn’t crazy. It was all brilliant editing.”
Still, Maggie admits, there was a bit more to it than that. Shortly before she began taping the show, 27-year-old Jenna ended a long-term relationship — and was carrying some extra emotional baggage. “It was a really hard breakup,” Maggie reveals.
And combined with frayed nerves, heavy competition — and Monica’s smirking comment, “We’re both girls” — it was a recipe for disaster… and one of the oddest quotes ever to emerge from a reality show.
Maggie insists Jenna was simply joking about lending Monica a tampon, should she need one. “She wasn’t talking about her used tampon, that’s disgusting!” But on the other hand, Jenna should have expected some confusion.
When you’re on a show that thrives on drama — and “brilliant editing” — it’s always a good idea to think twice before saying anything at all.
ABC's "Castle" stars Seamus Dever as NYPD Detective Kevin Ryan. (ABC/BOB D'AMICO)
Wedding bells are ringing on Castle, but not for RichardCastle (Nathan Fillion) and Detective Kate Becket (Stana Katic).
Despite all that sexual tension and Castle’s declaration of love when Becket was shot at the end of last season, it is Detective Kevin Ryan (Seamus Dever) and Jennifer Scout Duffy-O’Malley (Juliana Dever) who’ll be walking down the aisle.
“It’s an interesting thing because weddings are always those times when everybody thinks about their own relationships and their own decisions,” Dever points out. “I think [weddings] cause people to take stock of their relationships. So, in no less sense Becket and Castle think about their relationship and what they mean to each other in this episode as well.”
If Juliana’s last name seems familiar it’s because the actress is the real-life wife of Seamus Dever. And though they had a lovely wedding of their own, the Castle star tells us their budget was way less than what ABC shelled out for the TV nuptials.
“We did our real-life wedding on a budget. Julie and I got married five years ago and I think our wedding budget was about $10,000, so automatically the budget was higher,” Dever recalls with a laugh. “She’s wearing a designer dress and I’m wearing a designer tuxedo so that was different. We get married in a church [on the show] and in real-life Julie and I got married in a field in the Sequoia National Forest where my parents live. All my friends pitched in and we planned our real wedding as if we were doing a play. We did everything we could to make it as nice as we could with the budget that we had.”
Still, there will be an equal amount of excitement leading up to the ceremony thanks to an investigation that leads the gang to Detective Ryan’s bride-to-be.
“Jenny and Ryan decide to go on a cleanse and nobody understands why they’re doing it, but they’re doing it to purify themselves before the big day,” Dever explains. “Jenny is connected to a case and they find out some information that might be damaging to Ryan. [Ryan’s coworkers are] very protective about the way they explore the lead, and the big thing is whether they should reveal this information to Ryan because of how it will affect him. It’s kind of neat how they wove Jenny into the case.”
The actor promises all sorts of additional gag-like elements from a fight over a donut to who will be each wedding guest’s plus one.
West Coast fans of Castle will be able to chat with Dever in real time during tonight’s broadcast (10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. PT), via Twitter (@seamusdever).

In the new issue of Rolling Stone, the Black Keys’ Patrick Carney explains why he thinks rock music is suffering.
“Rock & roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world,” Carney tells the magazine in the cover story. “So they became OK with the idea that the biggest rock band in the world is always going to be s*** – therefore you should never try to be the biggest rock band in the world. F*** that! Rock & roll is the music I feel the most passionately about, and I don’t like to see it f***ing ruined and spoon-fed down our throats in this watered-down, post-grunge crap, horrendous s***. When people start lumping us into that kind of s***, it’s like, ‘F*** you,’ honestly.”
The article appears in the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone on newsstands Friday.

George Jones allows cameras in his home for HGTV's "Hollywood at Home." Photo courtesy of Webster & Associates.
Though George Jones is hardly a Hollywood type, he is a Country Music legend and that makes him the perfect celebrity to feature on HGTV’s Hollywood At Home series.
Jones and his wife Nancy live on a 78-acre estate just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. The couple gave the HGTV camera crew a guided tour of their property.
Featured in the broadcast tonight (8:00 p.m. ET/PT) is a stable, two lakes, five outbuildings, two caretaker residences (because you can never have enough help on a 78-acre spread), two private gated entrances, an outdoor kitchen with an entertainment area and swimming pool…and that’s just the outside.
The primary residence, which is approximately 10,000 square feet in size, features four bedrooms and six bathrooms.
