Kelly Osbourne in Rehab

Kelly Osbourne has entered a drug rehabilitation center in Malibu, California, because of an addiction to painkillers.

Osbourne's parents, Ozzy and Sharon, said on Larry King Live that a tabloid had received a photograph of the nineteen-year-old singer allegedly buying drugs. According to Sharon, Kelly's brother Jack accompanied her to the Promises Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center, a facility he had checked into himself a year ago.

Kelly's troubles aren't the only drug-related Osbourne news of late. Early last month, Ozzy Osbourne filed a formal complaint against Dr. David Kipper, a Beverly Hills physician who Ozzy claims over-prescribed drugs for him. Osbourne was reportedly taking as many as forty-two pills a day on Kipper's recommendation, including Dexedrine and Valium. The California state medical board is investigating.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
