Jack Osbourne: I Had MS Symptoms For Some Time

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Child Stars,

Jack OsbourneJack Osbourne has had symptoms of multiple sclerosis for "three or four years."

The 26-year-old star was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease - which affects the central nervous system - five weeks ago after suffering vision loss in his right eye but has now realized he was showing signs of the condition for some time prior to his doctor's assessment.

"I guess I've been having symptoms for the last three or four years, but I didn't realize it. I had problems with my bladder, problems with my stomach and then, about two years ago, my legs went numb for two months and I just thought I had pinched a nerve," he said.

Despite suffering from vision loss, Jack - who was diagnosed just two weeks after his fiancee Lisa Stelly gave birth to their daughter Pearl - says he has now regained "about 80 per cent" of his sight back, though he doesn't know whether it will completely return: "They don't know if it will ever improve beyond that, but everyone's different. [My vision] will return to some capacity but like I said, everyone is different, some people are left with a blind spot, some people return a 100 per cent, some people never even get anything back, so it's hit or miss."

Sara Gilbert: Out of the Closet

Sara GilbertDuring the summer press tour of the Television Critics Association (TCA), - best-known for her role as wisecracking Darlene on Roseanne - announced that she is, in fact, homosexual.

Gilbert has recently signed on to co-host and executive produce a new talk show called The Talk. Julie Chen, Leah Remini, Holly Robinson Peete, and Marissa Jaret Winokur are also on the show – which seems to have an MSNBC meets vibe.

Sara explained her decision to spill the beans at TCA: “So obviously I’m going to be discussing my life more, and I felt that the first place I wanted to do it wasn’t in a CBS press release It just seemed impersonal, and I felt like I’d rather come in person and talk to you about all that stuff here.”
