Kelly Osbourne's stage debut

NEW YORK (AP) -- Following in her father's footsteps, Kelly Osbourne will sing for the first time on stage during the MTV Movie Awards.

The pink-haired, 17-year-old daughter of Ozzy Osbourne will perform her cover of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" during the awards show Saturday at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium.

The show is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. EDT June 6, with Jack Black and Sarah Michelle Gellar as hosts. Eminem and The White Stripes are scheduled to perform, with presenters including Ben Affleck, Bow Wow, Eve, Ewan McGregor, Winona Ryder and Charlize Theron.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has the most nominations with six.

Kelly Osbourne recorded a version of Madonna's defiant 1986 hit for "The Osbourne Family Album," which comes out June 11. Her younger brother, Jack, helped produce the track, and members of Incubus backed her up.

MTV announced this week that it will begin airing in the fall a second season of "The Osbournes," its most popular series ever, which chronicles the heavy metal icon's home life.

Alien Ant Farm cuts tour

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Alien Ant Farm has cut short their European tour and canceled all United States shows through September after a bus accident in which the rock band's driver was killed.

The crash happened May 22 near Navalmoral de la Mata, Spain, 120 miles west of Madrid, while the group was traveling from Luxembourg to Lisbon.

Lead singer Dryden Mitchell suffered a broken vertebra and probably will need surgery. Guitarist Terry Corso broke his ankle, and bassist Tye Zamora chipped a bone in his foot. Drummer Mike Cosgrove received cuts and bruises.

"I'm just so grateful that my injuries aren't worse," Mitchell said from a London hospital this week. "There will be a lot of rehabilitation and physical therapy, but I'm planning on working hard so the band can get back to writing songs, and then we can get in the studio and record the new album as soon as possible."

The group from Riverside, California, is best known for their guitar-driven cover of Michael Jackson's 1988 hit "Smooth Criminal," which earned them a Grammy nomination this year.

The baby is due in November, publicist Melissa Kates said.

"We have been blessed with two extraordinary children and we anxiously await the arrival of our newest family member," the couple said in a statement Wednesday.

Both Kaczmarek and Whitford, 42, are expected to return to their television shows in the fall.

Miss Universe thrills Russia

MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) -- Russians reveled in the news that a sharpshooting St. Petersburg cop was crowned Miss Universe, saying it was about time the world took notice of the fabulous women who grew up behind the Iron Curtain.

Oxana Fedorova, a 24-year-old senior police lieutenant who grew up in the provincial town of Pskov won the diamond-studded tiara at the pageant in Puerto Rico, out-dazzling a field of 74 other hopefuls.

"It means they have officially recognized what is absolutely obvious and we already knew: that Russia has beautiful women," said Lena Myasnikova, editor of the Russian edition of racy style bible Cosmopolitan.

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev was "not surprised."

"Russians can win in all kinds of competitions, starting with mathematics and Olympics, with young boys and girls, and all the way to beauty contests," the Nobel peace prize laureate said during a stop in London for a conference.

Fedorova is no mere beauty, but a pistol-packing graduate student at St Petersburg's Interior Ministry Academy, with the sort of background that would make James Bond sweat.
