The King is Dead...On..

DONNY OSMOND has apologized to LARRY KING for statements he made after the talk show host disclosed that MARIE OSMOND's 16-year-old son had entered a rehab facility.

Donny told Today show co-anchor MEREDITH VIEIRA in a taped interview that aired Monday, quote, "I was very upset about it. I thought it was very unfair for Larry King to throw that question at Marie the way that he did." Then Donny learned shortly after the CNN interview on November 14th that the tabloids were about to break the story. That prompted him to explain to NBC's Today show yesterday, "I have to back up and apologize publicly to Larry King because I came out and said some things against him. In hindsight, Larry King did Marie a favor. She was able to make a statement about the situation. ...And so she's grateful to Larry."

In related news, the siblings and former Donny and Marie Show stars are going to reunite for seven shows at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas starting on July 17th. Donny announced to Entertainment Tonight, quote, "For years and years Marie and I have been talking about working together again. The timing is right. The two of us can hardly wait."
