Sharon Osbourne recently spoke out about her husband, Ozzy Osbourne’s prescription drug and alcohol abuse problem on an episode of her talk show The Talk. “Everybody knows he’s been struggling with this his entire life and I never knew that he was using prescription drugs,” she said, according to UsMagazine.com. “I knew he was drinking occasionally, but I didn’t realize to what extend. It’s our business — we’re dealing with it. We’re not getting divorced. However, am I happy? No. Am I upset? Yes, I am — I’m devastated right now. He’s been using alcohol and prescription drugs for the last year-and-a-half…and he has been in a very dark place. That’s true. It’s very true. It’s a disease that not only hurts the person that has the disease but it hurts the family,” she continued. “It hurts people that love you and we’re dealing with it.”

Having your whole life broadcasted on national television can turn out to be a real struggle especialy in Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian’s case reports UsMagazine.com. Having their love quarrels filmed for the whole world to see can be trying to their relationship even months after the acutal fight took place. “That, I will say, is one of the real downsides of the whole television thing,” Disick tells Ryan Seacrest during an interview on Ryan Seacrest With the Kardashians: An E! News Presentation. “Just when I think we’ve worked through something, and we’re finally moving forward, a rerun will be on, and I’ll be upstairs, and she’ll call me,” he continues. “Like, ‘Hey, so I kinda forgot to say I hated you for this one other thing.’ And I’m like, ‘What? I have to relive this again?'” These lovebirds have been together since 2006. And how is their relationship going now? I would say we’re decently happy,” Disick tells Seacrest. And what about the wedding bells? “I think if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. You know what I mean?” he said. “I feel like I used to want to get married more than she did. And then, being that she was always so not interested, I’ve decided not to be.” Kardashian and Disck are parents of son Mason, 3, an daughter Penelope, 9 months.
