Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are doing some housecleaning.

The 58-year-old rocker and his wife are selling art, furniture and collectibles from their homes in Malibu and Beverly Hills, Calif., and England.

The auction Nov. 30 also will feature items from their MTV reality show, 'The Osbournes,' including son Jack Osbourne's black leather bedroom furniture 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,' Sharon Osbourne said. 'We just have an overabundance of possessions that we do not need.'

The sale, administered by Julien's Auctions, will be held Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at the Gibson Guitar Showroom in Beverly Hills. Bids can be placed in person, by phone or over the Internet.

Will The Police Make A New Album?

Will the curtain close again on The Police when their reunion tour ends? Andy Summers says the fractious trio could have a new album in them.

'It's sort of like living with the elephant in the room. I would see it as a challenge, to make an absolutely brilliant pop album at this stage of our career, and that would be something quite remarkable,' Summers, 64, said.

The Police broke up in 1984 after five albums and a relationship-wrecking world tour. Since then, frontman Sting, 56, has sustained solo stardom. Guitarist Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland, 55, have pursued their own, much more low-key recording projects.

Summers said the trio has yet to discuss in any detail the prospect of recording a new album together. But he said the tour had sharpened their group skills - and, four months into the reunion, creating something new together would make sense.

Sizemore Says He Has Quit Drugs

Tom Sizemore says he's done with drugs.

'I'm not trading my whole life for some powder,' the 45-year-old actor told The Bakersfield Californian in a jailhouse interview published Friday.

'God's trying to tell me he doesn't want me using drugs because every time I use them I get caught,' Sizemore said.

Sizemore is serving time for violating probation in a drug case. He was arrested in a Bakersfield, Calif., hotel in May for methamphetamine found in his car. He will be released next month.

The actor was charged with seven drug-related counts, but pleaded no contest to a charge of transporting drugs for personal use. He was sentenced last Wednesday to treatment in a drug therapy program.

Diddy 'Will Take Care Of' 6th Child

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is stepping up to the plate and taking legal responsibility for his sixth child.

The rap mogul says he's 'committed to being a good father' to his 15-month-old daughter, Chance.

Over the past year, Combs' representatives repeatedly denied that he'd fathered the child with Sarah Chapman of Atlanta. Combs now says he had been holding off on acknowledging Chance until DNA tests had been completed.

'At first, I wasn't sure if this was my child,' he said. 'Now that it has become clear she is, I will take care of her for the rest of her life.'

Combs has worked out visitation and support terms with Chapman, sources say.
