Fantasia Barrino apparently doesn't care she's going to find herself homeless because she's up to her eyeballs in debt.
North Carolina sheriff's deputies tell the New York Post they've been trying "at least a dozen times" to reach Fantasia about $65K she owes on a loan, without success. What's more, no one's even showed up to represent her in court about the big bill, and her mom and reps haven't offered any explanation.
Her million-plus-dollar Charlotte home is going on the auction block Monday.
File this under Big Surprise: The Virginia house where Michael Vick forced dogs to fight can't be sold, even at a low, low price. It was up for auction yesterday in Virginia, and no qualified bidders showed, so it's still available. The guy who snapped up the 4600-sq. ft. property after Vick was indicted on dogfighting charges originally wanted a mil for the place, but set the minimum bed yesterday at $590K. Seven people actually turned up, but none of them had the $20,000 cashier's check required, so they were turned away.
Vick's been in the big house in Leavenworth since this summer.
Imprisoned NFL star Michael Vick is finally generating some cash -- just not for himself. Vick pulled the ol' "Paris Hilton" by leaving a bunch of his stuff in a storage locker that hadn't been paid for. The contents of the locker, stocked with all sorts of Vick's personal goodies, eventually went on the auction block. Since only five people showed up to the sale, a dude named Edward Howard says he was able to obtain the treasure trove of obscurities for a whopping ten bucks.
Now, Howard says he's already made a few hundred bucks selling off some of Vick's bedroom furniture and clothes on a street corner just a few days ago.
What Howard won't sell are pictures of Vick with his first-born son Mitez, a signed football Mike gave the kid, and other baby memorabilia. Howard says he'd like to meet Vick some day to hand over the stuff personally.
Vick will be in Leavenworth, KS for at least another year, case anyone's looking.
Miami's newest double D-list good mother of three, Shauna Sand, is selling some of her tacky crap on eBay -- and unfortunately it ain't her platform Lucite stripper heels!
The two craptacular items up for bid, that used to belong to Shauna and ex-husband Lorenzo Lamas, are a marble and wood $1500 night table and a gaudy glass and gold leafed wood $4000 latrine vitrine -- both from "1800s France." Ooh la la! Looks like Shauna decorates as well as she dresses!
So far there are exactly zero bids on both. No one is buying what she's sellin'!
Boy Band svengali Lou Pearlman is auctioning off a few of his belongings on eBay. He needs the cash as he just pleaded guilty to federal bank fraud charges and has agreed to repay victims of his $300 million Ponzi scheme.
Included in his list of treasures are: (and we swear we're not making this up) his business degree from Century University (sounds prestigious!); a picture of fat Lou in front of The Original Pancake House; laser discs (or shiny Frisbees); as well as a framed invitation to the Bush/Quayle inauguration of 1989 - otherwise known as the illest party of the '80s.
If you want to partake in any of Pearlman's gems, you better hurry, the auction closes in five days!
The Britney Spears tank top and jeans that sold for $700 on eBay can still be yours, since the winning bidder backed out of the deal -- claiming the item wasn't authentic. As if! The owner of the store selling the items tells TMZ he thinks the buyer just got cold feet, and that the item is 100% authentic. He tells us the clothes will probably be re-listed again sometime in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, you can still get in on the bidding for the black pinstriped Britney jacket, which is over $1,400 now! When will the madness end?
When you're trying to sell a jacket that was previously worn by the Queen of All Popwrecks, would you advertise that it "still smells like Britney"? Who wants to own a jacket that smells like frappuccinos, unleaded gas and Marlboros?
But if that's your thing, an authentic jacket worn by Britney Spears is up for bids on eBay, and at the time of this post, it was going for the low, low price of just $89! A see-through dress she auctioned off last week sold for just under $900.
All proceeds from the sale will go directly toward the purchase of more frappuccinos, unleaded gas and Marlboros.
Last month, it was an autographed GameCube. Now, Gary Coleman is auctioning off his ride, a Saturn Sky droptop! (He's throwin' in some autographed photos for free, with the $25,000 pricetag.) Whatchu need that money for, Arnold? The former child star has hit rock bottom before, but he appeared to be above water after doing some spots for, yes, a cash-advance loan company. Ironically, Coleman's tag line for those ads was, "Pay your bills on time and everyone will love you." Lil' help here, Willis?
Ever wanted to get into Britney Jean Spears' pants? Here's your big chance, y'all. Penicillin sold separately!
An 'I Sold It On eBay' store in Los Angeles has started an auction for an outfit allegedly worn by the hoochie-flashin', traffic-swervin' popwreck. Up for grabs: one lime green Wet Seal tank top (medium) and a pair of size 7/8 Hydraulic jeans -- otherwise known as Louisiana swamp black tie! Here's hopin' she wore underwear!
Gather up your loose change. Bidding ends Tuesday night at 8:21 PM Eastern.
It's a big mess in Bangladesh after a cyclone left hundreds of thousands homeless. Now the band Linkin Park and other musicians are getting together and selling a bunch of stuff on eBay -- with 100% of the proceeds going to Music for Relief -- whose past good works include raising over $2 million for the victims of the tsunami, Katrina and Rita.
Our good friends at Kompolt.com have provided this handy link to the eBay auction, featuring everything from Avril Lavigne's signed tank top, to Linkin Park tickets and a signed Smashing Pumpkins poster.
Buy something -- and help Music for Relief help the world.
TMZ caught up with loquacious rapper, The Game, who generously offered to autograph a pair of his shoes so we could auction them for charity! The Game's personalized shoes and a signed T-shirt are still available for bidding on eBay.
All of the proceeds will benefit "A Place Called Home," a South Central L.A. non-profit organization dedicated to helping at-risk kids achieve their dreams through educational enrichment.
A sunny Saturday afternoon in L.A. -- the perfect time to get the guys out for a motorcycle ride -- and that's exactly where we found rapper The Game.
All of Melrose Ave. stopped to see The Game's bitchin' new ride; a Can-Am Spider motorcycle. The Game told us everything about his new "spaceship," then stripped for our cameras, exchanging his white T for TMZ's 'Ding Dang Y'all' shirt! Then, pimptabulous "The Bishop" showed up in his lime green Rolls Royce with a gift for The Game -- one-of-a-kind lime green Emerica sneakers with alligator skin and gold detailing. There's no end to The Bishop's good taste in finery!
The Game generously offered to autograph the shoes -- with his new trademark "TMZ" -- and handed it back to us to auction off for charity! His personalized shoes and autographed t-shirt are now available for bidding on eBay. All of the proceeds will benefit "A Place Called Home," a South Central L.A. non-profit organization dedicated to helping at-risk kids achieve their dreams through educational enrichment. The pimp is on!
Corey Haim is cleaning out his closet -- and hoping to make a few bucks. According to his official website, the fallen heartthrob and drug-induced stroke survivor has posted an eBay auction featuring jackets he wore in two of his movies and an autographed snowboard from the recently canceled series, "Two Coreys."
Bob Barker's been away from television for just a month, but it seems like an eternity. For those of you who have wandered aimlessly in abject forlornness, fear not, your pitiable life may have just gotten a bit brighter. You can buy Bob's chair on eBay if ... the price is right. Mr. Barker has donated his on-set chair, emblazoned with W.G.M.C., which stands for "World's Greatest Master of Ceremonies," a nickname given to him by his staff of yore. And now it can be yours. Letter of authenticity included -- handwritten by Bob. That alone, is priceless.
100% of the proceeds from the sale will go to United Activists for Animal Rights.
