===2002β2005: ''The Osbournes'' and ''Shut Up''=== Osbourne and the rest of her family (without Aimee) starred on the MTV reality show ''[[The Osbournes]]'', which aired from 2002 to 2005. The series chronicled their day-to-day life, portraying a dysfunctional family in which metal music, [[profanity]] and other harshness were a daily part of life. Kelly, the middle child, emerged (according to ''[[Rolling Stone]]'') as "a wickedly funny, brutally honest, pint-size, potty-mouthed spitfire." The series started when she was seventeen, and ended when she was twenty. Kelly said in an interview for ''The Osbournes'' DVD that the crew were only actually supposed to be there for a few weeks but ended up staying for a few months and that the constant cameras focusing on her and her family was stressful.<ref name=RS>[[Eliscu, Jenny]] (12 December 2002), "Kelly Osbourne". ''Rolling Stone''. (911):76</ref> In 2002, during the second season of ''The Osbournes'', Kelly dated [[The Used]] lead singer [[Bert McCracken]]. The show was filmed in California, US. where the family has had their residence for several decades. Both she and the Osbourne family were parodied in [[Channel 4]] comedy ''[[Bo' Selecta]]'' in which the rubber-masked Kelly, played by [[Leigh Francis]], has her own show and is always being [[Censorship|censored]] for swearing with bleeps. After her appearance on the reality show, Osbourne quickly began to be noted for her varied and trendy style among fashion commentators like [[Steven Cojocaru]].<ref>Kim, Maggie; McIntyre, Samantha; Reiffel, Gabrielle; Sparks, Sarajane (28 April 2003), "Who's That Girl?"

Stiletto Killers was a rock-inspired line of [[T-shirt|tees]], [[Panties|knickers]], [[hoodie]]s and sweatpants designed by Osbourne and Barone, emblazoned with cartoonish designs and punk rock phrases. There was also a more sophisticated couture branch, the SK Collection. Stiletto Killers closed in April 2006. Her debut album, ''[[Shut Up (Kelly Osbourne album)|Shut Up]]'', was released by Epic Records in 2002 to moderate US sales, but good European sales. The lead single, a cover of [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]'s "[[Papa Don't Preach]]", debuted with [[Houston]] rock band [[Pure Rubbish]] at the 2002 [[MTV Movie Awards|MTV Film Awards]].<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Orecklin |first=Michele |date=28 October 2002|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1003561,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080306201522/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1003561,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 March 2008|title=People: Oct. 28, 2002 β We're on the List |magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|volume=160|issue=18|page=73}}</ref> The album, which debuted at No. 1 on ''Billboard''{{'}}s Heatseekers chart, was met with mixed critical reviews and, by May 2003, Osbourne was dropped from Epic Records. By autumn she was on the Sanctuary label, later recording a duet of "[[Changes (Black Sabbath song)|Changes]]" (a [[Black Sabbath]] song) with her father. The duet hit No. 1 on the UK charts and resulted in a reissue of ''Shut Up'', titled ''Changes''. "Changes" was one of a few tracks to have fallen down the charts (from 1β3) while selling more copies than the week it reached number 1. Osbourne was the first artists to top all three of the Billboard charts dance surveys in the same week with the "Chris Cox Club Remix" of "[[One Word]]".<ref>Mason, Kerri (25 June 2005), "Peterson, Tommy Boy Immersed In African Sounds".
