Sleeping in the Nothing

Osbourne promoted the album with several appearances on TV shows and award ceremonies, including CD:UK, and the MTV Australia Video Music Awards 2005. Osbourne also made an appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, during which Ross made comments on Osbourne's weight in regards to the album cover, saying she had been "airbrushed".{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/sep/13/kelly-osbourne-interview-music-tim-lewis|title=Kelly Osbourne {{!}} Interview {{!}} Music|work=The Guardian|last=Lewis|first=Tim|date=13 September 2009|accessdate=9 September 2018}} Osbourne later said of the appearance: "The band that was performing was New Order and they refused to play until he apologised. A lot of it wasn't shown on TV because if they saw what he really said to me, I don't think any parent in the world would ever watch his show again. What he said to me destroyed me for two years." Osbourne also said Ross' comments caused her to "sabotage" her record deal: "I thought, 'What the fuck is the point in me doing this shit when a grown man insults me in this way? I'm not strong enough to do this. I'd rather be the trust-fund kid that everyone thinks I am than work my arse off to get insulted.'" She admitted herself to rehab in June 2005, which stopped any further promotion for the album."Reznor's Court Victory" (30 June 2005). Rolling Stone. (977/978):28
