Marie Osmond's Kid Heads to Rehab

It's not a good time to be Marie Osmond.


On tonight's "Larry King Live," the "Dancing with the Stars" star was blindsided by Larry King who asked if 16-year-old son Michael was in rehab. What would Brigham Young do?! She confirmed that he was admitted last week -- the same week Marie's father died at his home in Utah.

Osmond got choked up while talking about her son, telling Larry, "He is the most amazing kid ... it's been a hard week." Still, Marie managed to go on with the "Dancing" show.

16. At least she didn't sidestep the issue. You can be the best parent in the world and always there for your kids, but your kids can still get involved in something bad. You can't shield them from peer pressure. At least she isn't home schooling her kids...

17. Marie is having a rough time right now. I don't think her mothering skills has anything to do with her son having a drug problem. No parent is with their children 24-hours a day. To make accusations about her mothering skills is uncalled for and inaccurate. At least he is getting help. God bless you Marie and the rest of the Osmonds!

19. I just lost all respect for Larry King. Not that I had much at all left anyway. What a jerk to do that to her. She should have gotten up and walked out.

20. Please don't bash Marie. Save that for O.J. and The Dog.

21. Larry I had a lot of respect for you....I have just about lost it....you have been too classy over the years to sink this low...

22. Way to go Larry King......insensitive idiot.....Marie Osmond handled it with dignity & class. Unlike Larry King...didn't old Larry have drug problems of his own ?

23. SOME stars are so narcissistic. She has how many children and she has already had trouble (she took off and left the family for a short time). Why not take step back and say "my career is not more important than raising my kids". Everyone talks about what a wonderful personshe is. She may be, but we all surely know these people ACT for a living and. You don't really now her. GO HOME MARIE and help your family deal with the loss of your father and the addiction wih your son. I love your "personality", but I will survive without you and hae much more respect if you make parenting your priority.

25. Faints, becomes national news

26. Won't be long till we hear the same about King's kids. So hopefully someone as insensitive will interview you King. Marie has had a lot to deal with don't think u needed to blindside her with that question.

27. I'm not buying it. King has never blindsided anyone in his life, he's too afraid. He's known as Mr. Softball that's why she (and many others) goes on his show. What other of the DWTS are on talk shows as much as she? NONE!

Of course Marie had no control over her own father's death. But, I'm starting to doubt the "fainting spell" and now this "revelation" about her son. Not to mention Donny trashing the other dancers every week.

She'll do anything to win this contest. Apparently.

28. What is it with Donny & Marie - I'm tired of hearing Donny constantly saying what a great dancer she is. These two are so self promoting. They have just buried their dad however it all had to be coordinated with their appearances on Oprah/Dancing with the Stars/E.T and now Larry King. I'm sick of seeing them everywhere.

29. God bless you and your family Marie.

30. At least the dancing did something for her body. She was getting fat.
