Like pop like son: Ozzy and Jack

Jack Osbourne has been in rehab for an OxyContin addiction, and told MTV News that he checked himself in because he wanted to take control of his life.

MTV News has revealed that Jack Osbourne has been in rehab for an addiction to OxyContin. The FDA has warned that the dangerous painkiller (recently a popular party drug) can be as addictive as morphine, can cause respiratory problems and is often fatal when snorted or chewed.

Commenting on the rehab Jack told MTV: "I want to be in control of my life. I was really loaded and I just sat on my mom's bed and I just said, 'I am going to go pack my bags, I'm ready to go. I want to go, I need to go.'
