Oh, Kelly Osbourne. We know that life has not been easy for you, but you really need to tell your mother to let you fight your own battles. We know that she means well. We know that she does it because she cares. But really. You’re a grown-up now. It’s just embarrassing.

The latest instalment of the tiresome ‘feud’ between Lady GaGa and Kelly Osbourne (which, essentially, has been going on for year) rose up again when Kelly gave an interview with Fabulous magazine, saying that “Lady Gaga’s fans are the worst” when it comes to the abuse and criticism that she receives. “They’ve said I should kill myself, that they hope I get raped. I mean it’s crazy but I’ve had this all my life and I just try and ignore it.” Lady Gaga responded with a message on her website, an open letter to Kelly that read, in part “I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path… Your work on E! with the Fashion Police is rooted in criticism, judgment… To see you blossoming into a beautiful slender woman who makes fun of others for a living is astounding.”

Now, the Osbourne matriarch has stumbled into the ring, swinging for the shape-shifting pop star who dared to attack her young Osbourne cub. “Your open letter is hypocritical and full of contradictions," wrote Sharon on her Facebook page. "And as your mother Cynthia supports you, I support my daughter Kelly." She went on to call Gaga a “bully” because she has “32 million followers hanging o [her] every word… A word from you would stop all the hideous, negative and vile threats from your ‘little monsters.’” She’s got a point, of course. Though, we don’t remember Gaga’s mum taking to Facebook to lend her support…
