Kelly Osbourne has been a reality TV star, a singer, and now she’s adding one other role to her long resume: a DJ.
“I even have done DJing before, however it was more like making a playlist and hitting play and dancing around,” Osbourne, 38, told The Post.
“I can’t claim to be an excellent DJ in any respect. The home DJ – DJ Irie – was showing me a number of things. It took me a minute to get across all of the equipment, but by the top, I had it under control.”
Osbourne is joining Fox’s music game show “Beat Shazam ” (returning Tuesday at 8 p.m.) because the guest DJ who puts on songs. The show’s contestants guess their titles, with a purpose to win money.
She’s stepping in to the sixth season to fill in for the same old “Beat Shazam” DJ, Corinne Foxx. Nick Cannon is filling in to for the show’s usual host, Jamie Foxx.
The daddy/ daughter duo stepped away from the show amid Jamie Foxx’s ongoing unspecified heath crisis (although he’s reportedly out of the hospital and on the mend in physical rehab).
“It was such an honor to be asked to step in and keep Corinne’s seat warm,” said Osbourne.
“It was an incredible experience, to see how just through knowing music, you’ll be able to actually change your life. The amount of cash I saw people win was mind-blowing. Seeing the psychological switch of ‘Oh, I don’t have to try this second job anymore’ or ‘Oh, I pays my debt off’ is a phenomenal thing to witness.”
She said her time on “Fashion Police” best prepared her for this show.
“I used to be Joan [Rivers’] little apprentice for nearly 5 years, and it was the very best education I ever got. The primary thing she told me was just, ‘Be yourself.’ That’s what I used to be kept telling myself after I went into this. I do know I’m going to look back and think, ‘Oh my God, your embarrassing dance moves!’ and it should be cringe for me to look at. But, I had the very best time.”
Osbourne is currently a recent mom to baby boy Sidney, who she had along with her partner, “Slipknot” DJ Sid Wilson, 46.
She said she didn’t ask Wilson for DJ advice because “I didn’t even wish to hear it,” and he or she also didn’t ask her famous musician dad Ozzy Obourne, 74, for advice about joining a music show.
“No, I didn’t [ask Ozzy]. God only knows what he would have said!”
But, she did take her baby to set along with her.
“What was so great about doing this show as well is that they let me bring him to set on daily basis, and I might have Sidney cuddle breaks, where I’d go run, cuddle him, and return to set,” she said.
“[Being a mom] is the very best thing that ever happened to me, it’s given me a lot purpose and meaning in life. I really like my son greater than I really like anything on the planet. He’s my every little thing.”
He’s even developing his own taste in music already, she said.
“His favorite song is a song I play for him when he’s in the tub, and it makes him smile. It’s Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald ‘Cheek to Cheek.’ He loves it. After he gets out of the tub, we’ve a little bit dance. I sing it to him every night.”
Up next, Osbourne can be going to take part in one other reality show along with her brother Jack and oldsters Sharon and Ozzy, within the BBC series “Home To Roost.” It’s been twenty years since their first reality show, “The Osbournes,” which aired from 2002-05 on MTV.
“It took me a minute to get back into the swing of it, however it’s like putting on an old pair of cozy shoes,” she said.
“We fell back into it, though it’s been 20 years. It was really interesting to see. Because we’re all a bit stiff at first. But then we relaxed, like ‘let’s be ourselves and let’s do that.’”
