In an odd turn of Hollywood events, it seems that Kelly Osborne is NOT wearing an engagement ring from her boyfriend of six months, model Luke Worrell.  While shopping in Los Angeles, mother of the fictitious bride-to-be Sharon Osborne was caught by the cameras of TMZ and questioned about her daughter’s upcoming nuptials.  The reporter first congratulated Sharon on Kelly’s engagement, to which she replied “She’s not engaged”.  When the reporter persisted, remarking that Kelly was wearing an engagement ring, Sharon told him: “She wears rings on every finger”.

The rumors started when Luke Worrell, who no one had ever heard of, much less cared about, announced his engagement in the most tasteful way he knew how.  The 19 year-old changed his relationship status on his Facebook page to “Engaged to Kelly Osborne”.  Who taught that boy to be a media whore?  Who schooled him on how to go from a nobody to the Talk of the Town in the amount of time it takes to hit “send”.  Within hours, his page was flooded with congratulatory messages that said, undoubtedly, things like: “OMG I am like SO excited for u guyz!” and “u r suuuch a cute couple!”.   Kelly was also seen leaving LA hotspot Nobu with Luke and  huge new diamond jewelry, thought to be an engagement ring.  With her success as a reality television star–featuring the freak show that is her family; her dubious singing career; and her acting chops, it is not unlikely that she bought the ring for herself.

Then the story hit every celebrity-related news source from supermarket tabloids to relatively-reputable magazines.  Adding fuel to the fire was a quote from Kelly in which she had said: “Would I marry him? Yes, you never know.  But I’m still really young so we’ll have to see.  I really do love him”.  Kelly, 24, despite being raised by a dog-crazy, overbearing mother and a drug-addled, incomprehensible, bat-biting father, seemed to realize that it was not time to exchange wedding rings with the hot young model.  Especially after he so delicately announced it to any idiot who has access to a computer.

As the relentless reporter dogged Sharon until she reached a store in which she could hide, Sharon repeated that daughter Kelly Osborne was not wearing an engagement ring and that she would not be getting married, because she is “way too young to be getting married.  Way too young”.   The real question here is: how did those people raise a child with any sense at all?
