Slap unhappy

Sunday Mirror gossip columnist Zoe Griffin endured a potentially career-enhancing altercation last week when an angry Kelly Osbourne slapped her in the face. Osbourne rounded on Griffin and took exception about an item the columnist wrote about how her boyfriend Luke Worrall didn't know how earthquakes were caused. Kids today! Griffin breathlessly recounted in print: "I've experienced tantrums, tiaras and a bit of stiletto stomping at showbiz parties, but I was shocked to be slapped in the face by Kelly Osbourne on Thursday night. Yes, really. The spoilt, self-righteous daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne approached me in full-view of my friends at London nightclub Punk and clonked me in the face." According to Griffin, Osbourne then told her that if she wrote about the incident "you better watch it". "Well sorry Kelly, I won't be silenced by bullies," Griffin riposted in her Sunday column. Not when she's got a double-page spread every Sunday to fill.
