Celebrity Mound

Pop siblings DONNY and MARIE OSMOND are to host the Miss U.S.A. pageant in April (08). The singers will also perform at the big show, which takes place at the Planet Hollywood Resort + Casino in Las Vegas. The event will mark the first time Donny and Marie Osmond have hosted a prime-time show together since 2000. The current Miss U.S.A., Rachel Smith, will give up her crown just before the glitzy glamour show.

OSMOND siblings DONNY and MARIE are split about the way U.S. broadcaster LARRY KING went public with news Marie’s teenage son had checked into rehab on his CNN show. King blurted out the news during an Osmonds special on 14 November (07), leaving Marie struggling to fight back tears as her brother helped comfort her. The singer looked stunned when newsman King asked, “I know that (your son) Michael is in rehab, right?” She asked, “How do you know that?” Angry Donnie says, “It’s just unfortunate that Larry King had to throw that question at her the way he did. I didn’t appreciate it. “You saw in Marie’s face how shocked she was. It’s such a personal issue.” But his sister insists family pal King was trying to do her a favour: “He did it tastefully and with my brother around for support. “Larry had been tipped off that the tabloids were going to go with this and it ended up being a very kind gesture to my son.” Marie’s 16-year-old son Michael is seeking treatment for an undisclosed issue at an unnamed rehab.
