Kelly Osbourne has been released from the hospital after a five-day stay following a seizure the E! fashionista had on the set of her show "Fashion Police. " "Kelly Osbourne has returned home and has been given a clean bill of health by her doctor," her rep told E! News.

She was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and was admitted for several days as a precautionary measure so doctors could pinpoint what may have caused the episode.

If you want to feel like a goodwill ambassador, take a street-legal golf cart for a spin. You'll get plenty of waves, smiles and ride-along offers from wannabe passengers. You'll also get lots of incredulous stares, questions and requests from concerned friends that you call them upon arriving home. At least that was my experience in the week I commuted to work in the Club Car Villager 2+2.

Robbyn Panitch decided not to buy a gun. Through her doors each day came the desperate and delusional, transients with private demons. It was dangerous but rewarding work for the 36-year-old Los Angeles County mental health worker.

"Five Women Wearing the Same Dress" is a character-driven comedy. That means the plot is as thin as water. Not necessarily a bad thing. The women populating Alan Ball's play are colorful and curious, the kind you can watch even when nothing much happens. The little hub for these tattered Southern belles is the wedding of a bride that none of them can stand. All five are bridesmaids, stuck in the same ugly dress and in varying degrees of lousy lives.

If you're from the "shaddup and play" school of concert-going, Friday night's bill at the Coach House probably isn't for you. Dubbed "In Their Own Words: A Bunch of Songwriters Sittin' Around Singing," the program also involves a good deal of sittin' around gabbing.

Freelance writer Norman Chad, commenting on some Super Bowl personalties: "You've got Tom Brady, who's a cross between Kurt Warner and Forrest Gump. You've got Drew Bledsoe, who's a cross between Earl Morrall and Lazarus. And you've got Bill Belichick, who's a cross between Bill Parcells and a footstool. "Boy, oh boy, how did the Patriots go 5-11 in 2000, begin 0-2 in 2001 and make it to Super Sunday under Belichick? Could I have been more wrong about this guy?

When Rose Avolio spoke of her long-lost sister, she wasn't exaggerating--she had not seen her in 75 years--but the efforts of 60 people on three continents finally reunited them. Avolio, 96, had feared she would not recognize her 83-year-old sister, but she gasped and smiled when Assunta Caliguiri was taken off a plane from Buenos Aires in a wheelchair.

The late John Huston, who directed "The African Queen" and other classic films, became an Irish citizen in his later years.
