David Gest has donated some of his rare Michael Jackson memorabilia to raise money for charity.

The reality star has given up the items, which he collected during his years of friendship with the King of Pop, for an online auction.

The items include a rare signed photo of Michael wearing a veil as well as a signed Thriller record.

David said: “I am delighted to donate this rare Michael Jackson memorabilia from my personal collection to two very worthwhile charities, Liverpool Unites and the Variety Club children’s charity, which I strongly support.

“Liverpool has become a second home to me and my affinity for the people of this illustrious city has only grown stronger during the last three years when I left I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.”

Own Elvis’ Hair

Posted by Sam on 12th October 2009 in Elvis Presley, Rock

A clump of Elvis Presley’s hair is up for auction! The locks, which were cut off in 1958 when the King of Rock and Roll joined the Army, will be up for grabs on October 18th as part of an Elvis memorabilia collection in Chicago. Sources say that they expect the singer’s hair to go for around $12,000 at the sale. I don’t know about you but that’s just a little too creepy for me. However, it may be something to hold onto for those genetic engineering freaks out there just waiting for the science to progress and wanting their very own Elvis clone.
