Reality television star Jack Osbourne, son of rocker Ozzy Osbourne and "America's Got Talent" judge Sharon Osbourne, has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, celebrity magazine People reported on Sunday (June 17). The 26-year-old, who welcomed daughter Pearl with his fiancé Lisa Stelly in April, was given the news of his diagnosis two weeks after his daughter's birth. Osbourne, the youngest of Ozzy and Sharon's three children, shot to fame as the rebellious teenager alongside his sister Kelly in the MTV reality TV show "The Osbournes" in 2002.

Radiohead are "shattered" by the death of their "friend and colleague" Scott Johnson, who was killed when a stage collapsed before their show in Toronto, Canada. The British band posted a statement on their website, saying they will miss the 33-year-old drum technician. Johnson was setting up for the band on Saturday (June 16) when the top part of the stage fell on him.

British actor Kenneth Branagh, a renowned Shakespearean actor on stage and screen, was knighted as part of Queen Elizabeth's annual birthday honors. Kate Winslet, who won an Oscar in 2008 for her role in holocaust drama "The Reader" was made a CBE, or Commander of the British Empire. And Take That frontman Gary Barlow, also a judge in Britain's X Factor television music contest, picked up the OBE award, or Order of the British Empire.
