Jack Osbourne tells Access Hollywood that his sister Kelly told him to “dive right in” and “embrace the sparkles and spandex” when taking on Dancing With The Stars. Jack says he wanted to do Dancing With The Stars because it’s an interesting opportunity and also for Multiple Sclerosis Awareness. When asked, his partner Cheryl Burke says she is very impressed with his dancing so far and he can kick higher than she can. Their first dance is a Fox Trot. Great first interview!!!
