Amy Winehouse Julien's Auctions

YOU CAN BID ON A PIECE OF AMY WINEHOUSE’S LIFE

Julien’s Auctions is about to have a huge auction of Amy Winehouse’s personal possessions and it made us kind of sad just looking at the offerings. The event is called “Property from the Life and Career of Amy Winehouse” and it looks like someone just emptied everything out of her apartment when she died- except the furniture. Besides the Elvis action figures she collected, you can bid on spiked cat collars that she wore as bracelets, her 7 Jackie Collins books, a pink heart shaped laundry bucket, 50’s and 60’s CDs and songbooks, TONS of black lace bras and bikinis, negligees, soiled ballet slippers, halter dresses and lots of jeans, t-shirts and shorts. Not many designer labels- mostly Zara, Topshop, and Adidas. Some clothes have food spots on the front. Amy lost lot of weight after she met the druggy boyfriend Blake Fielder-Civil, so there’s a variety of clothing sizes. The outfit in the photo above is a Lacoste tank top size 36 and 7 For All Mankind denim shorts size 25. Bidding starts at $75 for the ensemble – the live and online auction is Nov 6-7.

Burt Reynolds Julien's Auctions Loni Anderson

LONI ANDERSON TURNS BACK THE HANDS OF TIME

130282PCN_Anderson07cut

Loni Anderson, 69, must be drinking from the same fountain of youth that Anne Jeffreys drinks from. She’s changed very little since her days as the sex symbol on “WKRP in Cincinnati.” Loni was married to Burt Reynolds for six years so she is very involved in the sale of his possessions and memorabilia at Julien’s Auctions held in Las Vegas. Burt is cleaning house and unloading a TON of stuff that must have taken up considerable space. Lots of cowboy and Indian memorabilia, knick- knacks, and many large paintings of Burt that he says were given to him. Click HERE to see the catalog.

Julien’s Auctions was inumdated by Madonna fans and collectors this weekend when they had their Rock n’ Roll charity auction in Beverly Hills. Madonna’s clothing and memorabilia outsold all the other rockstars – from Elvis to Michael Jackson. The wedding gown she wore to marry Sean Penn sold for $81,250. but her jacket from 1985’s “Desperately Seeking Susan” trumped everything by going for $252,000! Disapponted bidders might be happy to know that replicas of that jacket are currently available online for an affordable price – $165.

Education Julien's Auctions Lettter Lisa Marie Presley Michael Jackson

MICHAEL JACKSON’S STARTLING LACK OF EDUCATION

This is the Michael Jackson letter that Lisa Marie Presley pulled OFF the auction block at Julien’s Auctions this week and we can imagine why. The note was written to Lisa Marie somewhere between 1993 and 1996 when Michael was around 36 years old and it is a sad illustration of the results of home schooling. Michael wrote at the level of a ten year old boy. The abysmal grammar, punctuation, spelling, and most of all – the HANDWRITING – are shocking and embarrassing for a grown man. His lack of education was tragic and Lisa Marie’s probably isn’t much better. Fortunately, Michael’s own children are not following in his footsteps.

Auction Julien's Auctions Michael Jackson

DON’T BE FOOLED BY THIS “MICHAEL JACKSON” AUCTION!

We think the Michael Jackson auction coming up on December 17 is the biggest SCAM! Buyers – open your eyes! Michael Jackson never owned any of this stuff – the house was rented for him fully furnished as he prepared for his London concerts. The furniture had been used by many renters before Michael. The owner of the house apparently decided it was time to redecorate and figured he could get top dollar by linking it to Michael Jackson. Michael’s REAL possessions from Neverland were auctioned off two years ago at Julien’s Auctions. It’s sad to think that Jackson fans will be overpaying for this gaudy French baroque furniture that he had little to do with.

Auction Family Matters Jill Vandenberg Julien's Auctions Tony Curtis

TONY CURTIS AUCTION: MARRIED PEOPLE START TO LOOK ALIKE, SO MARRY SOMEONE GOOD LOOKING


Photo Credit: David George

Tony Curtis’s sixth wife Jill Vandenberg put his estate up for sale this weekend at Julien’s Auctions. We checked out the merchandise ahead of time and were impressed to see art by Picasso, Miro, Dali, and Warhol, along with personal items like Tony’s cowboy boots and driver’s licenses. There was an undertone of resentment because none of his six children were there – Merle Ginsberg at The Hollywood Reporter says none of his kids are beneficiaries of his estate, the bulk of which goes to his wife of 12 years, Jill, who cared for him during many illnesses. Our favorite item in the sale was Tony’s “Some Like It Hot” yachtsman jacket, which went for $48,000. Our friend took a slightly eerie photo of Jill with Tony’s portrait in the background and we swear she grew to resemble him.

Anna Nicole Smith Julien's Auctions Larry Birkhead Money

LARRY BIRKHEAD IS AUCTIONING OFF ANNA NICOLE SMITH’S UNDERWEAR

Larry Birkhead put some of Anna Nicole Smith’s possessions up for auction in New York for charity to help pay for Dannielynn’s private school. Among the collectibles being auctioned off at Julien’s Auctions summer series are costumes, a decorated lavender bra, her pink golf bag and clubs, a Warhol style portrait of her husband J Howard Marshall, and a fox fur coat Marshall gave her but she never wore due to her support for (or fear OF) PETA. There’s a lot more where these things came from, but it brings up the question: Is Larry running low on money?

Barbra Streisand Julien's Auctions Shoes! Shopping

BARBRA STREISAND AUCTIONED OFF HER BEDROOM SLIPPERS

We couldn’t resist attending Julien’s auction of Barbra Streisand’s latest collection of items she doesn’t want any more. Apparently she LOVES to shop and accumulates huge quantities of furniture, art objects and clothing. We’re not surprised by the vintage furniture and lamps and paintings, but the personal items that most people would just throw away were up for sale too. There were two lots of unglamorous old flat sandals and beat up bedroom slippers that probably pre-dated James Brolin. Her loyal fans spent nearly a thousand dollars for the worn footwear.

Julien's Auctions Kids Michael Jackson Neverland

MICHAEL JACKSON IS UNLOADING HIS PECULIAR COLLECTIONS

neverland_071113_cutjackson.jpg
The people at Juliens Auctions have a massive job sorting through the contents of Neverland in preparation for the auction of Michael Jackson’s possessions on April 21. Michael just walked away from Neverland and left everything behind him. The stuff is warehoused in a huge space somewhere in Los Angeles. We were most amused to hear that Jackson had an enormous collection of Lladro type porcelain figurines of rosy-cheeked children and MOUNTAINS of photographs of babies and children – none of them his own. He also collected large full color ads used in stores to sell products for babies and kids. The catalog is in five volumes and it’s bound to be a collector’s item.
