Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Charity, Videos


How much would you pay for a kiss with ? Well, this woman thought it was worth a whopping $140,000.

At a charity function last night for OneXOne, the Oscar winner sweetened a South African package - which included World Cup tickets, a safari and a Nelson Mandela meeting - with something sweet of her own. “There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid. I’ve got t**** for God’s sake,” Theron declared.

Thanks to a bonus 7-second smooch with Charlize, a male bidder raised the stakes from $37,000 to $130,000. Unfortunately, the fella was a mere $10,000 short. A lucky woman in the crowd wound up getting the prize…and a 20-second lip lock.

Someone Else Sues Michael Jackson

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues

Julien's Auction House Michael Jackson collection has even more legal trouble dead than alive - and that’s really saying something.

It all began when Julien’s Auction House put around 170 items up on the block, a Michael Jackson collection that was bid upon by one Richard Lapointe. The auction, however, was canceled. As a result, Lapointe is suing the Jackson estate and the auction house.

The suit contends that Lapointe was the only bidder on 82 items in the collection, and further mentions that he might have been the highest bidder on 88 more items. Since Julien’s sent confirmation of Lapointe’s bid on these items, he thinks he’s entitled to some money.

Marilyn Monroe Crypt

Richard Poncher’s former crypt is quickly becoming the most famous burial spot in the country…at least, it could well be the most expensive. You see, Poncher was formerly laid to rest just above the grave belonging to . The crypt is located in Beverly Hills at the Westwood Village Memorial Park, specifically in the Corridor of Memories Mausoleum.

Poncher’s widow put the tomb on the market, ostensibly to earn money to pay a $1.6 million mortgage. The housing market being what it is, this was a genius idea. Property values on homes are falling, so just sell off an entirely different type of real estate.

Win a Meeting with Miley Cyrus

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television

Miley CyrusIn an attempt to raise money for her family’s charity (and probably sound good PR for herself), is auctioning off a “meet and greet” with her at an upcoming red carpet event.

The person who bids the most money for the Pappy Cyrus Family Foundation - an organization that supports underprivileged children - will have the opportunity to join the singer at the November premiere of Bolt, an animated Disney film Cyrus is a part of. The bidding, which began last night and ends July 29, currently stands at just over $2000. (I believe parents paid just about that much for tickets to her last concert tour.)

Other items up for grabs in the eBay auction include clothing actually worn by the star and autographed posters and cds. You can learn more about the fundraiser from Miley in a video clip found after the jump.
