KELLY Osbourne made a very cheeky joke about weight transformation at her own expense on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire tonight.
Stunning Kelly, 39, and her brother Jack, 38, competed together for up to $1 million in charity on Wednesday night.
The TV personality – who lost 85 kilos – and her famous British TV brother were left in the spotlight with presenter Jimmy Kimmel.
The brother and sister duo had it easy until the $8,000 question.
It was: “Approved in the 1970s to treat high blood pressure, the drug minoxidil was ‘repurposed’ after many patients who took it experienced what side effect?”
The brothers used their 50/50 lifeline, which left C: “Substantial weight loss” and D: “Excessive hair growth.”
They were still trapped and started arguing with each other.
Kelly said dryly, “I’m telling you, Jack, if it was weight loss, I would know.”
The audience laughed and Jimmy Kimmel nervously covered his face.
They used another lifeline as Kelly screamed, “We don’t know the answer!”
They used “Ask the public” and 64% said D, so they chose “D”, which was correct.
Unfortunately, the duo didn’t get very far, struggling on the $64,000 question and exhausting all lifelines, so they walked away with $32,000 – the least of any celebrity duo this season.
They increased earnings for Race to Erase MS when Jack shared that he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2012.
Jimmy hosts the weekly game show revival, celebrating its 25th anniversary, with two celebrity duos appearing in each episode.
The new season premiered on July 10, and new episodes air on ABC at 8 pm ET every Wednesday.
KELLY’S TRANSFORMATION
The Osbourne brothers are the children of Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy and Sharon, 71.
Kelly has surprised fans with her new figure and hairstyle, looking unrecognizable in recent months.
Although mom Sharon has openly embraced her own 42-pound weight loss with Ozempic, Kelly has shut down rumors that she is taking the drug.
“I know everyone thinks I took Ozempic,” Kelly recently told Extra.
“I didn’t take Ozempic. I don’t know where that came from. My mom took Ozempic.”
Kelly insisted she lost her postpartum weight by cutting out sugar and carbs. She also underwent gastric sleeve surgery in 2018.
She also gave credit to other non-surgical techniques such as EmSculot – a non-surgical body and face treatment for “tightening sagging skin” after “rapid weight loss”.
FAMILY MATTERS
The brother and sister achieved global fame as teenagers on the iconic and controversial reality show The Osbournes, which began in 2002.
The first season of the fly-on-the-wall look at the foul-mouthed family achieved the highest ratings in MTV history.
The Osbournes have a third sister, Aimee, who fans don’t know very well because she refused to be on the show.
The family now has a podcast called, naturally, The Osbournes.
Meanwhile, Kelly is now a mother.
She welcomed her first child – son Sid – in late 2022 with her partner Sid Wilson of the rock band Slipknot.
Jack is also a father – he married Lisa Stelly in 2012, and the two have three daughters – Pearl, Andy and Minnie.
They divorced in 2019 and he married for the second time in September 2023.
He and new wife Aree Gearheart have a daughter, Minnie.

‘BRING BACK THE DRAMA’
Kimmel has been directing Millionaire: Celebrity Edition since 2020, but many fans don’t like the new version.
Each episode sees two celebrity pairs step into the spotlight for charity, with the show split evenly into two parts.
Many have argued on
Others called the reboot “sloppy” and its format “cramped.”
“Much of the program is sloppy and, frankly, bad,” one X user recently complained.
“Writing is difficult. Questions have typos. Pacing is bad. Editing is very difficult. Sound design is lacking. Feels rushed/no room to breathe. Forcing two games per hour removes any drama. It’s confusing how that turned into this.”
Another X user responded: “A big problem is the lack of regular non-celebrity contestants. Bring back real-life drama and life-changing stories.”
“It feels so compressed. They don’t even let Jimmy talk to the contestants coming back from the break,” replied a third.
The current season is pulling great ratingsand the first few episodes had their moments.
In the Season 3 premiere, John Mulaney and Nick Kroll went viral after losing an “easy” succession question.
Parent Trap’s Lisa Ann Walter surprised fans by winning $250,000 on a tricky geography question without using lifelines.
NO LONGER ‘POPULAR’
The third season of the Millionaire revival is the first time Jimmy has hosted a studio audience.
The first two seasons of the revival of the once number one show were filmed during Covid.
Kimmel acknowledged that the show is not as “popular” as it was when it debuted this season.
“This show aired in the summer of 1999, hosted by the late, great Regis Philbin,” he told the crowd.
“It was by far the most popular show in the world, and now I’m the host, and it’s not anymore.”
“But we’re still here. Because of the pandemic, I never performed the show with an audience, we did two seasons without anyone here – so welcome!”
WHEN A MILLIONAIRE WAS GOOD
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire premiered on ABC in 1999 and instantly became a mega hit.
Regis Philbin hosted the show, which became so popular that it was instantly ordered as a regular series.
In 2002, nine Smart Alecs won the grand prize, three more during their syndicated campaign as popularity waned.
John Carpenter was the first winner and iconically used the lifeline of calling a friend only to call his father and tell him he was about to win the million.
Meredith Vieira was host from 2002 to 2014, and Terry Crews, Cedric The Entertainer and Chris Harrison also took turns.
The current celebrity edition of Millionaire has been placed on indefinite hiatus by ABC in 2022now it’s back warts and all.
