KELLI SKYE FADROSKI, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 17:03:18 +0000

Want a piece of the Osbourne’s? For the right price Ozzy’s Ben Franklin-style spectacles could be all yours. The family is selling off a TON of household items including lamps, beds, mirrors, chairs and paintings.

Sharon is even auctioning off some designer dresses, jewelry and miscellaneous dinnerware. Following a nasty ATV accident - it’s no wonder that they are giving up a slew of motor sport items including dirt bikes, and four-wheelers. They’re even offering up a BATHTUB - if you can’t be a bat-head biting rockstar, you might as bathe like one!

A public exhibition will be held on Monday, Nov. 26-Thursday, Nov. 29 from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. The live and online auction will take place on Friday, Nov. 30 in two sessions, one at 10 a.m. and another at 2 p.m. at The Gibson Guitar Showroom, 9350 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills.

Interactive bidding will be available on juliensauctions.com.

Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation which provides at-home help, childcare, transportation, access to support groups and patient care services offered within Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
