Kelly Osbourne and Kimberly Stewart's reality TV show has been cancelled.

The show, starring the daughters of rockers Ozzy Osbourne and Rod Stewart, was due to air on US TV network E! but Kelly reportedly pulled out before filming began.

She is said to have branded the yet-to-air series "demeaning and juvenile" after producers told her she would have to spend time with "real people" doing "real jobs" and ridicule them, according to gossip website TMZ.com.

However, other sources claim the show was dropped in favour of a reality series starring Paris Hilton's former friend Kim Kardashian, who famously starred in a homemade sex tape.

A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: "The network just wasn't into Kelly and Kimberly's show."

Kelly and Kimberly's TV series was set to replace 'The Simple Life' - featuring Paris and Nicole Richie trying their hand at a series of low-paid jobs - which was recently axed by E! after five seasons.

A spokeswoman for E! declined to comment.
