Osbourne, who graces the cover of the December issue in a skimpy red two-piece, says that treatment for drugs led to weight gain.

Kelly Osbourne: "I would rather be called ugly than be called fat!"

After losing 20 pounds while on Dancing and another 30 pounds afterward, Osbourne says she's finally learned how to eat and exercise right.

"I never thought in a million years I'd be that healthy girl who wakes up every morning to exercise," she says. "After being called 'cherubic and chubby,' I'm rocking a bikini!"
