Kelly Osbourne is gearing up to host the Emmy Awards pre-show on FOX on Sept. 22 and she EXCLUSIVELY opened up to HL about whats going on in her head before the big moment.
Kelly Osbourne, 34, is set to take on the spotlight as she returns this year to host FOXs Emmy Awards pre-show on Sept. 22 and although shes gone through some struggles that kept her away from hosting duties in the past, shes ready to push through fears and do her best to impress. The daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, 70, and Sharon Osbourne, 66, spoke to HollywoodLife about the upcoming event and admitted the opportunity is giving her a lot of thoughts to process, especially since she has recently gotten sober after going through past struggles.

“I think it is not about reinventing the wheel with this kind of stuff, it is about having fun and celebrating the achievements of incredibly talented actors and actresses, everyone is dressed up and everyone is feeling good and it is about everyone having a great time,” she gushed. “And that is what I love about these shows because you can be silly and you can see the sense of hum
