Life laundry for the Osbournes - Oct 9 2007
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are having a clear-out.
The 58-year-old rocker and his wife are selling art, furniture and collectibles from their homes in Malibu, Beverly Hills and England.
The November 30 auction will also feature items from their MTV reality show, The Osbournes, including son Jack Osbourne’s black leather bed and a cast-iron crucifix that adorned Ozzy’s den in various episodes.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation.
"It’s time to unload," said Sharon, who celebrates her 55th birthday on Wednesday.
"We just have an over-abundance of possessions that we do not need."
With their three children now grown and out of the house, the couple have changed their style and moved to a new home, she said, adding that parting with hundreds of items has been "one of the most refreshing things I’ve done".
Ozzy, however, does not share her enthusiasm.
"I don’t know why we are selling everything as I want it all," Osbourne said in a statement. He will perform a benefit concert at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles on the first night of the sale.
Sharon wants to adopt - Sept 28 2007
Sharon Osbourne has revealed that she wants to follow in Brangelina’s footsteps and adopt - but Angelina Jolie may not be too pleased when she finds out who Sharon has in mind.
"I would adopt him (Brad) any day," she told OK! at the Elton John AIDS Foundation benefit.
"Forget the babies, I’ll have him. I’m such a dirty old cow!"
We’re not sure what her husband, Black Sabbath’s Ozzy, would make of her revelation, seeing that they have been married for 25 years.
They are reported to have one of the strongest celebrity relationships around, having supported each other through her battles with cancer and bulimia, and Ozzy’s struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, and his quad accident.
But if her wish comes true, Sharon is only 11 years older than Brad, who is 43. And if Demi Moore and husband Ashton Kutcher can make it work with an 18-year age difference, then so can this Hollywood fantasy couple.
They could be collectively known as Shad or Braron - or even Spitt.
Sharon’s sick pup - Sept 12 2007
Sharon Osbourne has reportedly dashed back to LA - to see her sick dog.
The X Factor judge was in the UK watching her daughter Kelly take the role of Mama Morton in Chicago in the West End, but apparently jetted back as soon as she could after hearing her favourite pet Minnie was ill.
A source told The Sun: "Minnie is Sharon’s favourite out of all her dogs. She was by Sharon’s side constantly as she battled cancer.
"She had to go home to see her."
The mum-of-three was apparently seen weeping after seeing Kelly’s first night on stage - but it seems her tears might have been for Minnie.
"Sharon was filming in LA last week and was choosing her finalists for the X Factor," the source added.
"She finished on Saturday and jumped straight on the plane to be with Kelly.
"But she heard the news about Minnie at the theatre and was distraught. She was sobbing and her husband Ozzy was comforting her."

Sharon also worked her magic on acts such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Coal Chamber and Motorhead, there are also rumours that she briefly worked with Queen but was sacked by Freddie Mercury.
During their long hours together Sharon and Ozzy fell in love and, in 1982, they were married in Hawaii. However, it hasn’t all been romance for Sharon, she has stuck by her husband through his drink and drugs problems, which came to a head when her husband tried to strangle her. Despite everything Sharon has stood by her man and turned her family into a hugely successful media product.
In 2002 The Osbournes aired on MTV. The show followed the lives of Sharon, Ozzy, son Jack and daughter Kelly as well as their legion of pets as they went through day to day life in California. An immediate hit The Osbournes immediately launched the family in to the limelight like never before and when Sharon was diagnosed with cancer during the making of the series she insisted filming continue.
Despite the bad luck that came with the series - both Jack and Kelly developed problems with drink and drugs during that time - there has been a silver lining for Sharon. Ok, so her self titled talk show wasn’t the hugest success in the US but her role as judge on The X Factor has launched Sharon to a whole new audience while the UK version of her talk show garnered a respectable amount of viewers.
Elsewhere Sharon has set up top rock festival Ozzfest and published her autobiography, Extreme, which sensationally revealed the levels of plastic surgery she has undergone, including lap-band surgery (which reduces the size of the stomach) and detailed her ongoing battle with bulimia. However, it is her outspoken ways which have seen Sharon hit the headlines time and time again, from hitting out at Chris Tarrant to a fued with Iron Maiden, via bitchy comments to Rebecca Loos and a neverending argument with fellow X Factor judges Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh.
