Ashton Kutcher’s mistress auctions off the sweater he allegedly gave her

ebayjones
After (allegedly) boning Demi lookalike Brittney Jones on the couch in his family’s living room, Ashton Kutcher supposedly gave her a gray sweater to wear home and/or as some kind of parting gift. Jones recently put out a sex tape with another guy. While she feebly claims she’s trying to block it she waited until she lost weight to film it and it’s released by porn giant Vivid, suggesting she got a decent payment. Now Jones is selling the morning after sweater on eBay, complete with a glamorous picture of her posing in the item. Here’s the report from TMZ:

Brittney Jones — the woman who claims she had an affair with Ashton Kutcher — now claims she has one of Ashton’s sweaters … and she’s selling it on eBay.

Brittney posted the sweater over the weekend with an initial asking price of $500, along with this note: “This sweater was given to me after spending the night with Ashton. I no longer have any attachment to this sweater and I am hoping someone else will enjoy it.”

Ashton has been adamant he had nothing to do with Jones — and has tried blocking a sex tape featuring Jones (Ashton’s not in it). Jones is also fighting to keep the tape from going public.

[From TMZ]

Bidding is up to $20,000 at this point. At least some of the bidders driving up the price of the item have either no feedback or just one feedback rating, suggesting they’re either not serious about the bids or are inflating the price on Jones’ behalf. I wouldn’t put it past her to engage in shill bidding. After all, this woman got famous by sleeping with Ashton Kutcher, selling her story to the tabloids, putting out nude photos and then a sex tape. We know her morality meter is in the basement.

On another note, I kind of love that this trick knows just how to continue to squeeze mileage out of her five minutes of sleeping with Ashton. That’s got to drive him crazy. I don’t know whether to feel sorry for Demi or not given that she’s staying with him.

Oh and remember how Ashton said he would sue Star Magazine for this story? That hasn’t happened yet now has it?

eBay removes Kerry Katona’s breast implant from their website

david gest party 090109

The novelty of people auctioning off insanely weird crap on eBay will never be over. Remember that Jesus toast? Or maybe it was Mary toast, I forget. Then there was the guy that was auctioning off the ghost in his house. I’m still wondering if he had to catch the ghost to send it to the winner, or if he just sat down and had a heart-to-heart with it and convinced it to go. And let’s not forget Scarlett Johansson’s used tissue, which went for $5,300.

In fact celebrity items have long been a big hit on the auction site. And considering some of the disgusting stuff that’s gone up for auction in the past, I guess it shouldn’t be too horrifying that former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona put one of her 34GG breast implants up for bid – signed and everything. Unfortunately – or fortunately, depending on your opinion – eBay took out the implant… um, I mean took the auction down. But not because it was uncouth, but because Katona broke the rules.

British pop princess Kerry Katona had her breast implants removed on UK’s MTV last year, but hit headlines again last week when she placed one (autographed and all) on eBay apparently to raise funds for charity breastcancercampaign.org. While the 28-year-old’s intentions might have been honest, the 34GG fake filet caused too many legal issues for the world’s leading auction site.

“The implant was on eBay and I believe the idea was to raise money for Breast Cancer Campaign,” a rep for the charity told Tarts. “However eBay have now taken the item off because people were putting fake bids in, £8 million ($11.34 million US) at one point.” But according to eBay it wasn’t bogus bidders that resulted in the item being removed, it was actually Katona who broke the rules.

“Our policy team weighed in and said that this auction was removed for the Charity Violation contained within the item description as there was no letter of written consent by eBay’s Office of the President to allow the item to be sold under our Charity guidelines,” an eBay rep told Tarts.

The famous female asset up-for-grabs was listed with the unsubstantiated and unauthorized caption “… any monies received by this auction will go to the charity Breast cancer campaign…” Katona initially announced the auction on her Facebook page and as it turns out she didn’t even inform the charity she planned to donate the funds toward. So was it all just a planned PR stunt by the “Atomic Kitten” and will she actually live up to her word and still use her plastic prop to raise money in another way?

[From Fox News’ Pop Tarts]

It sounds like Katona either didn’t understand/research eBay’s rules, or she was up to something else. But in all fairness, they do have an insane amount of requirements – it’s very possible she didn’t know about their charity requirements. Though you’d think that with something as unusual as breast implants, she’d hire someone to do the auction, or go ahead and give it to the charity for them to auction off.

I checked on eBay and Kerry hasn’t relisted anything as of yet. Though there is a set of four implants for sale on the site, with the instructions, “Sample, not for implant,” and the suggestion that it’d make a “great conversation piece for your coffee table.” I don’t know about you, but I tend to put a dish of Jordan almonds on my coffee table, but I guess breast implants could do in a pinch.

Here’s Kerry Katona with Mark Croft at a party hosted by Liza Minelli’s ex, David Gest, at the Britannia Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool on January 9th. Images thanks to WENN.com.

Sarah Palin’s RNC shoes go for $2,205 on eBay

sarahpalinheader
Sarah Palin was lauded for her style when she first hit the scene as the unexpected Republican Vice Presidential candidate. Women were copying her RNC look from the sexy red peep toe pumps she wore to her updo and smart-looking glasses.

The pumps Palin wore to the Republican National Convention, a brand also favored by Paris Hilton called Naughty Monkey, were recently auctioned off on eBay by a seller claiming to be her niece. The winner will also also take home some autographed photos of the Alaskan governor and has the option to have the shoes autographed. These shoes were purchased by Palin in Juneau and are not part of the six figure wardrobe that caused a scandal when the news broke that her designer clothing was bankrolled by the RNC.

Up for bid are thee actual Red Naughty Monkey Heels owned/worn by Sarah Palin. I got the shoes from Aunt Sarah after mentioning that I liked them. They dont fit to well, so I decided to let someone else enjoy them. These are the exact heels that made headlines. If you search “Sarah Palin’s Red Shoes” on a serach engine, you will find multiple blogs, articles, and stories on these shoes. You could own a piece of history!!! The shoes are NOT autographed, but the buyer has the option of having them autographed!! I included pictures of the shoes, the autographed pictures, the Sharpie pen, and me and my aunt (just taken a couple days ago).

[From eBay]

The shoes, which retail for around $85 to $90, went for $2,205 on the auction site. There’s no word yet what Sarah’s niece is going to do with the money or if her aunt approved the sale.

The RNC has been criticized for failing to donate Palin’s campaign clothing to charity, as they promised to do when the news came out that her clothing was paid for by the party. A charity auction expert recommends that the RNC auction off the rest of Palin’s clothing in order to maximize profits for a good cause:

Says Modi Frank–who runs Giving Engine, which manages auctions for non-profits and schools using EBay as a platform: “If this is indication of the vaue of her clothing, then the RNC should definitely begin auctioning off her clothes for charity, since charities are really hurting in this economy, and it would be a wonderful cause-marketing for Palin as well.”

[From Firedoglake]

We’ll have to see if that ever happens, but it seems like the RNC has other things to worry about at this point than what they’re going to do with Palin’s clothes.

Here are some photos from eBay and screenshots of the auction.

Stage manager steals designer merchandise from Lipstick Jungle

wenn2111113
A man who works for the storage and production facility in Brooklyn used by Brooke Shields’ show Lipstick Jungle was caught stealing $30,000 of designer merchandise from the show and selling it on eBay. Police set up a sting after a fashion designer’s employee saw one of her boss’ purses being sold online for a discounted price.

Arthur Moreira, 27, was arrested Friday after investigators posing as buyers found missing items at his apartment. The haul included 16 coats, bags and suits by Prada, Gucci, Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana.

The Brooklyn District Attorney’s office said prosecutors investigated after an employee of Paris fashion designer Sylvia Toledano saw a crystal-encrusted clutch that had been loaned to the show for sale on the Internet.

Prosecutors said Moreira offered to sell the bag and a Burberry coat for less than retail value by explaining that “they fell off the back of a truck.”

[from Yahoo]

Do you think this happens more often than we hear about? There are stories about celebrities hoarding loot every once in a while; though when stars do it, they’re a (practically) free walking advertisement for the fashion house. $30,000 worth of stuff is an awful lot to steal outright from the set of a TV show. How did he think he was going to get away with it while auctioning everything on eBay? A heads up to online shoppers: anyone who says their merchandise “fell off the back of a truck” is probably lying.

Scarlett Johansson’s mucous sells for $5,300


Somebody has too much time and money to be let out alone on the vast marketplace that is eBay. As we recently reported, Scarlett Johansson blew her nose into a tissue during a recent Tonight Showvisit, and what should have gone directly into the trash went directly up for auction on eBay. Unbelievably, and rather disgustingly if you ask me, the item sold with a final price of $5,300.

Times may be tough all over this holiday season, but that didn’t stop an anonymous bidder from digging deep into their pockets to place the winning bid of $5,300 on Scarlett Johansson’s used tissue!

Last week, a sniffly and sneezy ScarJo appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. the actress explained to Jay that she had likely caught the bad cold from her Spirit co-star Samuel L. Jackson. She told Leno that for this reason, her cold had some “value,” and after the host offered her a tissue for a bit of nose-blowing, it was decided that the snotty bit of flimsy paper should be auctioned off on eBay, with all proceeds from the auction to benefit USA Harvest.

[From OK! Magazine]


When I first heard that this gross little piece of Johansson was going to be auctioned off, the first thing that sprang to mind was The Big Bang Theory. On a recent episode, the character Sheldon is given a napkin that Leonard Nimoy wiped his mouth with at dinner. It was autographed, as well, but that wasn’t the part Sheldon was freaking out about, it was the DNA. All he needed was a suitable ovum, and he would have his very own little Mr. Spock.

Quite frankly, if it wasn’t someone with creepy DNA intentions that bought Scarlett’s snot rag, I’m even more disturbed. The only saving grace of this story is that the proceeds from the auction are going to charity. Bidding for the item on eBay was by pre-approved, anonymous bid. The snipers were hard at work, as the price jumped from $4,050 to the final $5,300 in the last minute.

Amazingly lifelike 16″ Angelina Jolie doll goes for $3,350 on eBay


Noel Cruz is an amazingly talented man.  He can take a regular 16-inch Coal Sybarite by Superdoll, remove the factory paint, and with nothing more than brushes, acrylics and sealers can transform the manufactured doll into an unbelievably true-to-life likeness of a celebrity.  His Angelina Jolie version is stunning! 

$3,350 stunning to one lucky, and crazy, eBay bidder.  The doll came with two wigs and handpainted, sculpturally enhanced breasts, and without tattoos, which can be added, handpainted by Cruz, for $15 to $35 each depending on the tattoo, and without clothes!  Yep, some one received Angelina Jolie naked in the post for only $3,500 plus shipping and handling.

Savvy entrepreneur Cruz also recreates celebrity trademark clothes… sold separately!

The recreations of Jolie photo shoots are almost as impressive as the creation of the doll.  Noel Cruz is incredible with detail.  The fully articulated doll looks a little freaky sometimes, as visibly jointed dolls do, but the guy obviously puts painstakingly intricate detail into his art.

I’m Not Obsessed encourages Cruz on their website to make Brad Pitt as Ken next.  A commenter on the site says they have heard that’s exactly what he’s doing, as well as small dolls as Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.  For somewhere between $15,000  and $25,000 you could have the Brangelina Brood in your home everyday!

Nick Cruz’s website, www.ncruz.com, shows more of his incredible work.  His Daniel Craig, Kirsten Dunst, Mary Poppins, and Scarlett O’Hara are mindblowing! 

Cruz has no items for sale on eBay at the moment, but I’m adding him to my favorite sellers and watching for that update in my inbox!

Michael Jackson’s underpants on eBay for $1 million

Today I made a list of all the things of Michael Jackson’s that I’d want. And it was a super long list. For once I’m not being sarcastic – the dude has some crazy stuff. Your own zoo? The bones of the elephant man? Jewel-encrusted toilet seats? I’m not actually sure the last one exists, but considering the other wacky things Jacko has admitted to having, a ruby-ensconced john doesn’t seem that far off. Plus it would make you feel really glamorous when you were using it. And also sort of like you had a rash. I digress.

Of all the awesome, auction-worthy possessions, I have to say the one I’ve always felt least likely to bid on is Michael Jackson’s underwear. Maybe that’s because I spend a good deal of my day doing everything I can to ensure I don’t think about Michael Jackson’s underwear. But someone out there clearly thinks the right bidder (collector? hobbyist?) can be found.

MICHAEL Jackson’s notorious tighty whities are up for grabs. A pair of size-28 Calvin Klein white briefs once belonging to Wacko Jacko will be auctioned on eBay tomorrow, with a reserve price of $1 million. The unwashed underpants have a sensational past. They were part of the evidence confiscated in 2003 by then-Santa Barbara DA Tom Sneddon, who wanted a DNA sample for his unsuccessful child-molestation case against the washed-up King of Pop. The briefs are part of a stash of Jacko artifacts offered by New Jersey businessman Henry Vacarro, who obtained them in a bankruptcy case. For extra authenticity, the briefs come sealed in an evidence bag and wrapped with police tape. Also being sold are the Gloved One’s handwritten note explaining why he wants an annulment from Lisa Marie Presley and a used half-ounce tube of skin-bleaching cream.

[From Page Six]

Wait, Michael Jackson uses skin bleaching cream? You mean he doesn’t look that way because of some genetic skin issue he got from his father like he said? I feel unfairly lied to. The listing hasn’t gone up yet, though according to reports (and there are a LOT of them) it will be online today. And by the way, never search for “Michael Jackson” and “underwear” or “underpants” on eBay. My little bit of free advice for the day.

Jacko’s underoos have quite an interesting legal history. I wonder if it comes with a chain of custody sheet or something. I’d throw in at least an extra (hypothetical) $25,000. And perhaps a pair of salad tongs or some other device for transporting the valuables. No offense to anyone implied: I don’t care whose used underwear it is, it’s used. Underwear. It requires tongs.

I’m going to be genuinely surprised if this nets the required $1 million. It probably will but the deal will fall through. I don’t care what kind of bizarre collector you are: I highly doubt you’re going to display Michael Jackson’s possibly criminal underpants that you won on eBay for $1 million. Mostly because it’d make you look stupid. For about 32 reasons.

Here’s Michael celebrating friend Christian Audigier’s 50th birthday on May 23rd. Images thanks to Fame.

Britney Is More Popular Than Paris On eBay


On the Internet auction site eBay you can buy a lot of junk. The first thing sold on the site, originally named AuctionWeb, was a broken laser pointer for $14.83. When the seller asked the buyer why he wanted a broken laser pointer, he replied “I collect them”.

There’s a lot of junk on eBay sold that’s related to Britney, nearly 10,000 more items last week than were sold under Paris’ name.

The number of Spears-related items sold at the online auction site totaled 34,345, compared with 27,377 items associated with Hilton, eBay said this week.

Items associated with Spears ranged from signed CDs to disposable lighters featuring her likeness. Among the Hilton-related items sold: a toothbrush claimed to have been found in the hotel heiress’ trash.

Fragrances were the most popular product category sold for Spears and Hilton.

Both fared better than Lindsay Lohan. Her name was only associated with 8,099 items sold, according to eBay.

However, the three tabloid staples were all outslugged by baseballer Barry Bonds, who was pegged to 145,497 related items, including a grilled-cheese sandwich, which netted a winning bid of $US30.

Sydney Morning Herald

You know, I sometimes think that if I was Britney I might be crazy too. She’s had two children in quick succession, her marriage ended, her career was on the low and now it’s over, the paparazzi follow her everywhere and everyone wants to profit from her. I’d probably still wear underpants though, even at my most insane I normally only forget to put on a watch.

Some of the Britney related items sold online included photographs of her, CDs, her fragrances, and t-shirts featuring Britney bald with witty sayings. Once auctioned was a half eaten egg salad sandwich and corndog that Britney and Kevin Federline ate, which sold to goldenpalace.com for $520, known for its unusual eBay purchases.

Note by Celebitchy: Right now someone is auctioning off a small piece of a dress Britney once wore in a Pepsi commercial. At least the seller is realistic about the price. There are three bids and the item is currently priced at $4.25.

Remember how the owner of the salon where Britney shaved her hair was trying to auction it off on eBay for $1 million? The auction was removed either by the seller or by eBay, it’s unclear. Salon owner Esther Tognozzi launched a website BuyBritneysHair.com to try and make enough money to retire. It looks like Esther is still cutting and blowing dry, because the site is now down and we haven’t heard anything more about it.

Britney is shown driving with her dog on her lap outside the Four Seasons on 8/12/07. At least it’s not one of her kids. Thanks to WENN.
