Sharon And Ozzy Osbourne Are Going Their Separate Ways

After 31 years of marriage, gossip sites and semi-legitimate newspapers alike are reporting that Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne are splitting up. It began with a report in British newspaper The Sun, which quoted a source close to the family saying that the long-term couple are no longer living together. Ozzy is spending his time in a rented mansion, they report, while Sharon has been staying at a hotel and waiting for her new Beverly Hills home to be renovated.
The New York Daily News adds that both Ozzy and Sharon have been seen out and about without their wedding rings. Sharon, most recently, was spotted lunching with the couple's 28-year-old daughter Kelly at The Ivy sans ring.
Meanwhile, Perez Hilton notes that Sharon was photographed with a moving truck over the weekend, transporting her belongings to a new pad.
The split, such as it is, might be temporary. TMZ reports that the couple don't have plans to divorce just yet.
Jack Osbourne appears to be denying that anything is wrong between his parents, tweeting Sunday:
...it's all bullshit. Last time I check a lot of British news papers weren't amazing sources of accurate information. Moving on...
