Don’t expect to spot Kelly Osbourne at a Lady Gaga concert anytime soon.
After Osbourne opened up to Fabulous Magazine about being cyber bullied by Lady Gaga fans, the singer responded in the form of a lengthy open letter on her website.
“While I wish you had reached out to me personally, as the head of the Born This Way foundation with my mother Cynthia, we would like to respond,” Gaga begins. “Everyday, through my music and public voice I choose to be positive and work towards a kinder and braver world with our community of followers.”
The tone, however, quickly changes when the superstar turns the finger at Osbourne’s E! Fashion Police hosting gig.
“I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path,” she writes. “Your show breeds negativity, and over the years has even become comedic in nature. It glorifies you and Joan Rivers pointing in the camera, laughing, and making jokes about artists and celebrities as if we are zoo animals.”
She ends the letter by apologizing for her fans’ behavior, but asks the E! host to reevaluate herself.
Needless, to say Osbourne was not pleased: “Hope you guys realize that I don’t care about any of this bull—-! I know who I am I don’t need anyone to tell me,” Osbourne Tweeted.
But the star’s mother, Sharon Osbourne, had some choice words for Gaga, calling the singer a “hypocrite” and an “attention seeker” in her own open letter. The America’s Got Talent Judge writes, “I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticizing Kelly in your open letter. Are you so desperate that you needed to make this public?”
She concludes: “A word from you would stop all the hideous, negative and vile threats from your ‘little monsters.’ ”
The younger Osbourne used a quote from one of Hollywood’s most famous stars to conclude the rift, Tweeting: “‘When a man gives his opinion, he’s a man. When a woman gives her opinion, she’s a bitch.’ – Bette Davis.”
Osbourne’s Fashion Police costar, Joan Rivers, also chimed. “Fashion Police is a comedy show; anyone that comes out of an egg should figure that out,” she told E! Online, referring to Lady Gaga’s arrival to the 2011 Grammy Awards.

As if Lady Gaga could get any more wild, she recently embarked on a safari while touring in South Africa.
Gaga – who surprised fans in Rio de Janeiro by playing soccer with neighborhood children earlier this month – took to Twitter to share her excitement over a pride of lions.
“SAFARI PICTURE: in this photo I’m about 10 feet from 13 lions, 2 cubs. I spent about 30 minutes w them and took a nap!” she Tweeted on Saturday, revealing a hat modified to fit her high ponytail.
“& yes I cut a hole in my bush hat so my pony could stick out,” she later told her followers. “#SafariBarbie #Glambi my scarf was a gift from the Princess of Monaco, thanku!”
The singer, 26, is scheduled to perform at the Cape Town Stadium on Monday and raved about her experience in South Africa.
“Johannesburg was so wonderful, I can’t really put it into words. Im so happy, I haven’t slept yet. Laying in bed dreaming of the next tour,” she Tweeted on Sunday.
Lady Gaga has been left heartbroken by the scenes of destruction in her native New York after super storm Sandy wreaked havoc across the country’s East Coast on Monday.
The Born This Way singer was on tour in Puerto Rico when the post-tropical hurricane made landfall, and she admits she was plunged into despair as she watched the disaster unfold in her home state.
Gaga took to her Little Monsters blog to offer support to the victims of the storm, admitting she felt as though her “entire childhood is underwater” as New Yorkers work to rebuild the damaged city streets.
In a post entitled Hurricane Blues, she writes, “I’m not sure where to put these feelings. I’m so sad. I feel like my entire childhood is underwater. The boardwalk in Atlantic City (in New Jersey), my old apts (apartments) in Brooklyn and LES (Lower East Side). All the bars and friends.
“I’m just so sad. I know it will be OK. I’m not sure why I feel this way. Maybe homesickness, or maybe it’s easier to be a gypsy if you know your soul grows from somewhere great. And that great place protected me my whole life, now parts are destroyed. Just very sad and pensive today. Thinking of everyone today.”
She sold millions of copies of her latest album, she had dozens of top singles and won dozens of awards; Lady Gaga was really “Born This Way” : she was born to become a superstar!

In a keynote address at the recent Music Matters conference in Singapore, Lady Gaga’s manager Troy Carter compared the protest of the artist’s Indonesian show to crucifixion and called the icon “a 200-lb toddler” who has yet to “make it” in the traditional sense.
“It’s less about Gaga than it really is what’s happening in the world right now as a whole,” Carter said when pushed to speak about the Jakarta protesters. “This is a microcosm. It’s a generational divide. Jesus Christ got crucified. It happens.”
Carter, who got his start working with urban artists like Eve, Diddy, and Will Smith, quickly insisted that Gaga would not be changing anything about herself to fit markets like Jakarta, residents of which took offense to some of the Grammy winner’s provocative lyrics and music videos. When asked if Gaga would transform the “Born This Way Ball” in any way, Carter responded, “we’ll skip them.”
However, Carter insisted that Gaga and her team had loved every moment of their trip to Asia thus far, claiming “Asia is a very loyal audience and an audience that really, really loves music….it’s not a passive audience at all…we plan on spending a lot more time here.”
Though the manager wouldn’t confirm details about Gaga’s rumored fall LP, he spoke briefly on the singer’s contract with Interscope. “We have I think three records left with Universal [Interscope]. There may be a [record label] system there by the time her deal’s up that looks more attractive.”
Asked by interviewer Michael Schneider whether Gaga has “made it” yet, Carter bluntly said no, comparing the star to a “200-lb toddler.”
Gaga has yet to announce American dates for the “Born This Way Ball,” but Carter notes that she plans to tour extensively while playing Foxy Bingo on the tour bus until the end of next spring. It’s gonna be an additional year before that tour is over. It’s a long album cycle but it’s part of the storytelling.”
“Born This Way” topped the Billboard 200 following its May 2011 release.

Pop diva Lady Gaga’s show in Indonesia has been cancelled, her promoters said Sunday after Islamic hardliners threatened “chaos” if she entered the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation.
“Lady Gaga’s management has considered the situation minute to minute, and with threats if the concert goes ahead, Lady Gaga’s side is calling off the concert,” Minola Sebayang, lawyer for promoters Big Daddy, told reporters.
“This is not only about Lady Gaga’s security, but extends to those who will be watching her,” he added.
Earlier this month Jakarta police refused approval for the show after the hardline Islamic Defenders Front threatened violence if Lady Gaga performed, calling her a “devil’s messenger” who wears only a “bra and panties” on stage.
The promoters had indicated that a deal was being hammered out to tone down the star’s racy show, but her own management vowed no compromise to appease religious conservatives or censors.
Big Daddy president director Michael Rusli said it was “unfortunate” that the show had to be called off.
“For the past few days we have communicated with the government and Lady Gaga’s side. The government has given support, but this is not about the permit,” he said. “The cancellation is really due to concerns over security.”
In just two weeks, Thai fans will finally get to see Lady Gaga in Bangkok as her “Born This Way Ball World Tour” rolls into the City of Smiles. The biggest concert Thailand will ever have seen is being held at Rajamangala Stadium and promises extravagant, bold and mesmerising elements that will take up to eight days to set up at a cost of a staggering Bt140 million.
“This is biggest concert we’ve ever put together, even bigger than Michael Jackson’s concert in 1993,” enthuses Neil Thompson, deputy managing director of BEC Tero Entertainment. “It’s taking three 747s and 20 sea containers to bring in all the production, staging, lighting, sound and video equipment.
Listen up, Little Monsters: Mother Monster has taken a vow to stay mum.
At least that’s what Lady Gaga tells Oprah Winfrey during her one-on-one interview with the media mogul for Oprah’s Next Chapter: Lady Gaga, which airs Sunday on OWN at 9/8c.
“Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time,” the pop superstar explains.
“The latest thing I do is I don’t read a damn thing,” she adds about limiting her media intake. “No press, no television, if my mom calls and says, ‘Did you hear about?’ I don’t want to know nothing about anything that is going on in relation to music. I shut it all off.”
The singer’s silent vow seems to fall in place with her appearance at the 2012 Grammy Awards Feb. 12. Rather than making headlines like in past years, the star, who didn’t present or take home any awards, skipped the red carpet and was shown sitting quietly in her seat.
In addition to her hiatus from press events, the 25-year-old (who is joined by her mom, Cynthia Germanotta, for part of the interview) talks about her future Little Monsters — not her fans, but kids of her own.
“I want kids, I want a soccer team,” she says about wanting a large family. “And I want a husband. Well, I’m being superfluous. I don’t want to have one kid. I want to have a few.”
Of course, Lady Gaga will still flex her vocal chords on her upcoming “Born This Way Ball Tour,” which kicks off April 27 in Seoul, South Korea. The 26-show tour will make stops throughout Asia and Australia. It wraps up its international leg in July, and U.S. dates are expected to be announced at a later date.
