Well, don’t you just love it when a plan comes together? The Newsnibbles community is expanding, and reaching out to one another. You may remember that last week Bobby wrote in to ask if anyone could identify the celebrity in his photograph. Well, this week we have an answer, and with it a new question for the community to tackle.
Dear Bobby and Newsnibbles,
I think you will find the celebrity in question is Matt Damon. I too have a question to put to the community, and it
This is a picture of a rabbit, not a hare, and was also submitted by Sarah.
revolves around a news item I read, not in Newsnibbles, but elsewhere. A clump of Michael Jackson’s hair is going to be auctioned off. Is there anything more distasteful? The ‘Star-Cult’ around the late ‘King of Pop’ gets more and more bizarre. The auction house ‘Gotta have Rock and Roll’ is auctioning off a clump of hair, which is supposed to be from Michael Jackson. The hair was fished out of the drain of a New York hotel. Since his death, everyone tries to make money with Michael Jackson memorabilia.
The red jacket from his ‘Thriller’ video, the legendary white gloves – all this things were successfully auctioned off since his death in June 2009. Even the bed in which he died is going under the hammer this December due to the wish of the Jackson-Clan.
But fishing hair out of a smelly drain and offering it for sale? Normal people feel disgusted just thinking about hair in drains, but it seems like Jacko-Fans are pain-free.
The black Jacko-locks are found so valuable, that the auction house puts the starting bid at $1000, and they estimate a closing bid of roughly $5000.
The auction ends December 10th. The ‘lucky’ buyer will even get a certificate of authenticity.
Best Wishes,
Sarah
So, just to clarify, her question was, “is there anything more distasteful?’ We are a little concerned by the can of worms we could be opening here, but are hoping the answer will simply be “no”… So, perhaps you have an answer for Sarah, along with a question of your own to post to the community? If so, get in touch: newsdesk@newsnibbles.co.uk.
