Kelly Osbourne and Miley Cyrus bonded because of their famous parents
The pair became close while working on movie 'So Undercover' together and Kelly ' the daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne and TV star Sharon - explained they became close because they are so similar and both understand the pressure of being the kids of celebrities.
Speaking about Miley ' whose father is 'Achy Breaky Heart' singer Billy Ray Cyrus ' Kelly told the Daily Record newspaper:"I didn't know Miley well before. We had only met once or twice but as soon as we started shooting it was pretty instant how we got along so well.
"She just gets it. She has a really similar upbringing to me - though her side of things is on a completely different scale to mine.
"I'm from rock 'n' roll music and hers is country . but she gets it.
"It's nice to hang around an unaffected girl you can have fun with and understand what I go through and I understand what she goes through."
The pair are so close that Kelly previously took to twitter to defend Miley after the 18-year-old singer-and-actress was filmed smoking a legal high from a bong - a filtration device generally used for smoking illegal drug cannabis.
She previously tweeted:"This really makes me mad. Miley is one of the most hard working respectful women I have ever worked with I am learning a lot from her!
"Miley and I have become really close I'm sick of all the haters judging her she made one mistake and trust me she has learned her lesson!"

Mick Jagger has formed a new supergroup
The Rolling Stones star will work alongside Joss Stone, Damian Marley, Eurythmics' Dave Stewart and Indian musician A.R. Rahman in the new band, thought to be called Super Heavy, and they are currently in discussions for a major record deal.
A source told the New York Post newspaper:"They just finished a record and their first video and are talking to major labels about a deal. The name for the band at the moment is Super Heavy."
Many of the group have worked together in the past, and the eclectic background of the stars has given the group a unique sound.
Another source added:"Each member has a very distinct and different style, but it works. Mick has been recording with Dave for a while, and both worked with Joss in the past."
However, a representative for Mick ' whose last album was 'A Bigger Bang' with the Stones in 2005 ' has said the group have just been having"fun"together.
The spokesperson revealed:"They all thought it would be interesting and great fun to go into the studio and play some music. No video has been shot, no label in place. All a bit premature."

AC/DC have no limits when it comes to designing their elaborate stage props
The 'Back in Black' rockers have had huge pieces built for their tours, including a giant inflatable woman, an on stage wrecking ball for their 'Ballbreaker' tour and, most recently, a huge derailed train to accompany the song 'Rock 'n' Roll Train' on their 'Black Ice' world tour from 2008 to 2010, and claim they never accept a limit to the size or scale of what they have onstage.
Singer Brian Johnson said:"This is rock and roll, there's no such word as 'no'. It was {guitarists} Malcolm and Angus {Young's} idea about the train, initially just trying to think of a train, and just say to somebody 'Right, we want a train', and to convert that into the real thing."
Angus added to Britain's Absolute Radio DJ Ben Jones:"Yeah, I mean, you can dream what you want, but something's got to be practical, because sometimes you can come up with great ideas and you put them into practice and you go 'Oh s**t, that looks naff.'"
Brian added:"Yeah, but we did do it and it really was sensational, that train, and it never screwed up, it was always bang on."
Despite being together for 38 years and having crossed the world many times with their shows, the group ' which also includes Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd 'never get bored of touring and playing live for people.
Brian added:"The travelling is tedious, you know, but the on stage bit, getting on the stage, that's the fun bit, you know, that's what you're getting out for.
"I would welcome another tour, just to get out there. I mean, if they said, 'Another two years' I might blanch a bit, but I think everybody in the band is fit, well prepared, and they've still got it."
The full interview with Brian and Angus can be seen at www.absoluteradio.co.uk.

The Killers will each play a solo song at Hard Rock Calling
Each member of The Killers will play a solo song at Hard Rock Calling.
The 'When you Were Young' band are headlining the UK festival next month - their first show in Europe since they went on hiatus in January 2010 - and will reportedly use the opportunity to showcase material they have been working on by themselves.
In their time off, singer Brandon Flowers has released a solo album, drummer Ronnie Vannucci has been working on a record with his band Big Talk, while guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer have also been working on separate projects.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: 'The boys will probably have a song each. Ronnie's got his new album coming out soon and he's got a really great voice.
'But whatever Dave does I'm sure it will be something a little weirder though.'
Shortly after the 'Somebody Told Me' group were announced as headlining the festival on June 24, Ronnie said the group were looking forward to playing for their English fans again.
He said:"It's been too long, friends. Feels like forever since we've seen each other and now it's time we pay a visit."
Other acts performing at Hard Rock Calling ' which takes place between June 24 and 26 - include headliners Rod Stewart and Bon Jovi, Adam Ant and former Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks.

Tinie Tempah's success has left his head in a 'very weird place'
The 'Written in the Stars' hitmaker is adjusting to what he calls a"'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' type reality,"jetting between countries to perform and promote his debut album, 'Disc-Overy', which has provided him with plenty of issues he wants to address on his next record.
Explaining how he hasn't seen his parents or siblings for months, he said:"I'm starting to think about my life, thinking about where I'm going to be in three years time: who I'm going to be with, where I'm going to be situated myself.
'And all these questions I keep asking myself every day is going into this new record. My head is in a very weird place at this moment, as you can probably imagine.'
Tinie, 22, rose to fame after his debut track 'Pass Out' became a surprise hit in the UK in February 2010, kick starting his career and propelling him on to international star status, and he said this at least makes singing the song's line"I'm a star now"easier.
He added to dose.ca:"It definitely rolls off the tongue a lot easier. It was been more about the ambitions and the goals I wanted to achieve.
'Now that I've got to this point, which is what I wanted to achieve on the first album, there's another place that I need to go to.'
Tinie also said he has completed three new tracks, 'Till I'm Gone' with Wiz Khalifa, 'I So Addicted' and 'Love Suicide' which are more reflective of his present situation.

JLS are in talks to collaborate with Rihanna
The British boyband are in talks with the 'S&M' singer about recording a track together and singer Oritse Williams admitted he was extremely taken by the Bajan beauty when he met her.
He said:"We are in talks to collaborate with Rihanna. Let's see what happens there. We hope so. I tried to chat her up."
However, although Oritse's attempts to woo the pop star seemed to be working, he decided to give up when he realised how many other men were also trying to talk to her.
He explained to BANG showbiz:"It was going well and then there were a few other guys on the prowl and I said, 'You know what, I'll step out because there's others.' I can't say who.
"But she's popular, very popular when she comes to England."
The 'Beat Again' hitmaker is keen for JLS to collaborate with more female artists, such as former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, Adele and Jessie J.
He continued:"We haven't actually collaborated with a solo female artist apart from Kylie Minogue. Nicole Scherzinger would be amazing. We should give it a try.
"I'm a huge fan of Adele, I'd absolutely love to collaborate with Adele. That would be absolutely amazing. Also Jessie J. That would be very, very incredible."

Justin Bieber set to meet a 9/11 victim's daughter after a request from Barack Obama
Justin Bieber is set to meet a 9/11 victim's daughter after a request from US President Barack Obama.
The 'Baby' hitmaker has implied he will keep a promise made by the American leader that he would arrange a meeting between the 17-year-old pop superstar and 14-year-old Payton Wall.
The 17-year-old singer wrote on twitter:"I think you're wrong. Pretty sure President @BarackObama will keep this promise."
Payton ' whose father died when he was trapped in the World Trade Centre during the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York ' first tweeted the 'One Less Lonely Girl' singer in February.
She wrote:"hey! I have an awful life story and without your music idk if i could have survived. do you think i could send you a letter? (sic)"
But when the New Jersey girl did not receive any response, she wrote a letter to President Obama and the White House promptly invited her to meet him at Ground Zero in New York City, where he told her he"knows Justin"and made the vow to arrange a meeting with her idol.

He told US TV show 'Extra': 'We've been hanging out here and there. He's someone I've admired greatly for such a long time. The idea of writing songs with him is a dream come true."
Steven recently admitted he would love to see Johnny play him in a movie of his life and the 47-year-old actor would jump at the chance to portray the rocker.
He said:"I would give it a shot, why not."
Meanwhile, Johnny ' who reprises his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' ' has admitted he was pleased Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards agreed to return to the franchise as Captain Teague ' because spending time with the legendary musician makes him feel like he is in a rock band.
He said:"To be able to bring him back into the 'Pirates' fold, where he most certainly belongs, was a gas.
"Just spending a couple days sharing a trailer, it was as close, I suppose, as being in a rock 'n' roll band with him as you can get."

Miles Kane says Liam Gallagher was extremely supportive when he supported Beady Eye
Miles Kane says Liam Gallagher was extremely supportive when he supported Beady Eye on tour.
The Last Shadow Puppets singer was asked to play the warm up slot for the band's recent concerts and although he had met Liam before, Miles was still surprised with the level of support he got from the singer.
He told Shortlist magazine: ' think their management got in touch after they heard the songs 'Inhaler' and 'Come Closer'. I'd met Liam in a bar once before when we had a chat and a fag, so I didn't really know him but it was great to be asked and they really enjoyed having us. Liam was watching each performance from the sides.
' actually only met him very briefly on the tour. I was waiting to go on stage on the first night in Glasgow and he came out of his dressing room and walked straight over to me. Then he just grabbed me and went, 'I f***ing love you and I love 'Come Closer'. It was great.'
Miles also claimed he admires the Beady Eye frontman so much that he would love to be him but knows he and others could never compete.
He explained: 'Liam Gallagher is the only person who can be Liam Gallagher. Lads try to be like him ' we all grow our hair the same and have that swagger ' but you've got to leave that stuff to Liam. Sometimes we all like a little rant but you've got to be yourself.'

Ellie Goulding will 'never' forget performing at the royal wedding reception
The 'Starry Eyed' hitmaker was asked by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to sing at their post-wedding party at Buckingham Palace on Friday (29.04.11) and after serenading the 300 guests with a selection of her hits and clovers of classic tracks ' including Sir Elton John's 'Your Song', which was the couple's first dance ' she admits she was 'honoured' to have been involved.
She said: '"It was an amazing honour to be asked by Kate and William to perform at their party. The atmosphere was incredible and it is a night I'll never forget!"
While members of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth and William's father Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, left before midnight, the celebrations continued until 2am for younger revellers at an afterparty thrown by best man Prince Harry.
According to reports, the final song played was King's of Leon's 'Sex on Fire', after Prince Harry promised partygoers one final song before they had to leave.
Introducing the song, he told guests: 'This has been a great night but please respect the family and those upstairs when you leave. And don't wake up the neighbours.
'OK, here's one more song but promise you will leave after. This one is dedicated to my brother.'
Guests at Harry's afterparty were treated to potent Crack Baby cocktails, which contain vodka, passion fruit, raspberry liqueur and champagne, and tucked into snacks including popcorn and Haribo sweets.
Earlier in the day, guests at the more formal wedding reception ' who were seated at tables named after towns and cities close to the hearts of the bride and groom - were served a three-course meal cooked by Prince Charles' favourite chef Anton Mossiman.
He served crab layered with fresh langoustine, followed by herb-stuffed lamb, then a trio of desserts, chocolate mousse, honeycomb ice cream and sherry trifle.

Plan B taught Ny how to write her songs as stories
The 22-year-old artist ' real name Nyomi Gray ' has been a fixture on the British grime and urban music scene for years, but is only now starting a solo career, and said rapper Plan B has played a huge part in helping her realise her skills.
She told BANG showbiz:"I can't even big Plan B up enough, he's incredible at writing, producing, rapping, paying guitar, and when you can do all those things you can't not be amazing.
"I've known him for over ten years and he's always helping and nurturing, particularly on my writing, he's very story based and he can always think of different ways to write, when I first started he spent a lot of time playing guitar riffs with me and helping me pick out melodies."
The 'Be With You' singer added that while her songs are story based like those of her 'She Said' hitmaker mentor, she has a different lyrical inspiration, taking episodes from her own life.
She added:"My songs definitely always have a story, Plan B's are usually fictional, whereas mine are based on like my life or friends that I know, so in that way we differ.
"Sometimes people are surprised when they are in the songs, because we all have a perception of people's lives and I'm an artist who is still a real person, I've grown up and gone through different things like teenage dramas, home life, family problems, things most people go through, so I think people can relate."
