Kim Kardashian is selling her clothes on eBay to help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
The Keeping up with the Kardashians star has put a selection of items on the auction site in order to raise money for the non-profit organization International Medical Corps to help victims of the devastating cyclone, which has killed more than 4,000 people in the Philippines this month.
However, instead of donating the entire proceeds, she's only giving 10 per cent of the sales to the charity.
The 33-year-old beauty - who has a reported net worth of $65 million - took to her Twitter page yesterday to share the link to her personal website. "Hi guys, this is a very special auction because a portion of the proceeds of my eBay auction are going to International Medical Corps, a nonprofit organization that provides critical health services on remote islands where families are struggling to access medical care and basic resources like food, clean drinking water and vital medications. The proceeds will go directly to the communities they're serving in the Philippines and will help typhoon survivors get access to medical care and ultimately save lives. My prayers and thoughts are with those affected by the typhoon. Check out my eBay auction here and support those who need our help in the Philippines. Xo. [sic]," she wrote.

Lindsay Lohan Could Lose Stoarge Items

Lindsay Lohan faces having some of her prized possessions sold off because she can't pay her bills.
The troubled actress has fallen behind on monthly payments to a storage company, and now owes around $16,000, which could lead to items inside her locker - including designer clothes, family heirlooms and "potentially embarrassing" articles - being sold off at auction if the bill isn't paid by the end of this month. The account has been branded delinquent and the locker can't be opened until the balance is paid off in full.
According to gossip website TMZ, the Liz & Dick star - whose bank accounts have been frozen by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over unpaid taxes of $233,904 for 2009 and 2010 - has asked friends and family to help out with the payment but so far no one has agreed.
Additionally, the Mean Girls star is also said to have enlisted help from her younger sister Ali Lohan, 18, to help sell some of her designer clothes to raise more money.
Elizabeth Taylor Made Hugh Grant Wealthy
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,
Hugh Grant was drunk when he bought a painting of Elizabeth Taylor which made him $17.9 million.
The Did You Hear About the Morgans? star purchased the Andy Warhol painting in 2001 for $3.2 million and was praised for his knowledge of the art world when he sold it for $21.2 million in 2007.
But Hugh, 49, has confessed he ordered a member of his staff to bid for the painting at a New York auction during two-days of drinking.
“To my horror, she did, and even worse, got it. It all began with drink. I’d been having a drunken dinner with my father the night before, and I said, ‘We ought to go see my brother Jamie. You know, the Concorde’s amazing,’” he told the Daily Mail. “‘And he said, ‘I hear it is.’ So I bought him a Concorde ticket and we went. We had lunch, drank a lot of beer. And I was thinking about some stuff in the Sotheby’s auction and I saw the Liz Taylor. I slightly regret selling it now, even though it made me rich.”
The pop art painting was one of several portraits Warhol created at the height of his fame and creative output in the 60s.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Videos, Rumors,
An unknown home-cameraman has decided to share a fifty-year old video of someone who very much appears to be late actress Marilyn Monroe. In the short film, she takes a few hits off what very much appears to be a joint (you know, marijuana). The video purports to have been shot in 1958 or 59.
Keya Morgan, a New York area collector, has purchased the film (for the bargain price of $275K). He’ll be selling it on eBay this week. The story first broke in the Huffington Post.

England’s famed auction house Christie’s has managed to get an original copy of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, the book that details the scientist’s theory of evolution. The book, first printed in 1859, was found on a toilet book shelf in a family home in southern England.
Insert your own evolutionist theory crap joke here.
The book, one of only 1,250 first editions printed, will be sold on Tuesday to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its first publication. Christie’s estimates the tome could bring as much as $99,000 USD.

VIDEO: Woman Pays $140,000 for Charlize Theron Kiss
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Charity, Videos,
How much would you pay for a kiss with Charlize Theron? 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,
Michael Jackson 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.

Price Climbing on Marilyn Monroe-Adjacent Vault
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies,
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 Marilyn Monroe. 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.

One of the most iconic pieces of clothing in music history is going up for auction later this year.
Michael Jackson‘s glove - the one he wore during that memorable Motown performance in 1983 - is just one of several Jackson items that will be made available. The glittery article that dazzled during his Moonwalk is unlike the many others in the singer’s wardrobe. The store-bought glove was adorned with hand cut rhinestones. It was also left-handed.
Other collectables going to the highest bidder include a fedora worn by the King of Pop during the 1995 MTV Music Awards, several “Thriller” zombie costumes and a “Bad” jacket.
The November 21 auction will also feature an early demo tape from Madonna and never-released lyrics from Jimi Hendrix. For more information on the event, click here.
