Sting's wife Trudie put together a few Christmas hampers (well, 100 of them actually) filled with hand-selected items from the couple's country estate in Wiltshire, England and they've become insanely popular. Available in London at Selfridges, the hampers included a variety of organic goodies including a bottle of champagne, a Christmas cake, beetroot chutney, a couple of beeswax candles, and a chocolate coin. There were 9 treats total in the $300 hampers, and they must have be good because they've already sold out -- with "a number" of them going to Sharon Osbourne.

Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne made quite a bundle on their ultra deluxe yard sale. Happily, it's all for a good cause. The Osbournes raised $800,000 for the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation at their auction on December 1. The auction, put on by Julien's auctions, included furniture from their Beverly Hills home where they filmed the television show the Osbournes. The couple sold their house and moved on to Hidden Hills.

Some of the scores include Ozzy's coat which went for $3,300, his skull-adorned sneakers for $2,625 and a pair of his wire-rimmed sunglasses for $5,250.The family's custom pool table went for $11,250. AOL Music has a photo gallery of some of the Osbourne offerings.
