Donny Osmond Contemplated Drug Bust To Reinvent Image

Seventies pop star Donny Osmond was once so desperate to rid himself of his clean-cut image, he considered setting up a drug bust. The singer, 49, rose to fame with the solo hits Puppy Love and Go Away Little Girl when he was just 14-years-old - and admits he soon grew tired of his wholesome image.

Thank the Lord you did not. Look at all the screwed up people there are now. People needed someone possitive to look up to.

I loved Donny Osmond as a teenager. I remember how Michael jackson did so well with Thriller and those hits. It must have been hard for donny, but look who is on top now and din't compromise his morals or character. Bravo to Donny, Marie and all the Osmond Family. They have admitted that they had problems but have prevailed. I was a big Jay Osmond Fan!

I think Donny Osmond tells a very revealing, interesting story about himself. Of course i can truly understand about selling drugs to give rid of his clean boy image. But i am so glad he didn't listen to his agent, and not sell drugs. He is better off today for not doing it..

Man this is too rich! Rock n' roll rebel gettin' down with the likes of Jimmy Page ha ha. Tales of orgies and drug fueled abandon. The most this guy could tempt himself with is a caffeine rich soft drink or just go for the hard stuff and have a cup of hot jo.

Embrace it and own it you good little Morman with very large, VERY WHITE teeth! I'll bet any toothpaste company would be thrilled to have an Osmond as a spokes person. Do you think anyone would even buy that the man was involved in a drug bust??! I guess so since people have the tendency to believe anything bad or dramatic about celebrities. Pathetic really...

I'm very glad you decided to not do that. Some of us fans would be very disappointed if you even did that for publicity. I've been a fan since the Donny and Marie show, so it's been a very long and wholesome road. At least, have the crime be real.
