There are certain pieces of movie/TV memorabilia that each of think, "Man, if I could have that...that would be so cool."

For me, I've narrowed it to these three (excluding cars/vehicles).

-The bust of Shakespeare from the "Batman" TV show that housed the controls to the entrace to the Bat Cave

-Luke Skywalker's lightsabre from "Star Wars'

-The Golden Gun from the James Bond Film, "The Man with the Golden Gun"

I cannot imagine how cool it would be for someone to walk in to my office, see the bust of Shakespeare, tilt the head back, see the controls, and then look at me as if to say, "OMG...are you Batman?"

Anyway, we talked last week about Olivia Newton John putting her famous black leather and spandex outfit from the closing, iconic scene from "Grease" on the auction block with proceeds going to cancer charities.

Well, someone now has ONJ's pants on their wall.

And cancer received a single donation of more than $405k.  And this was more than double what was expected to be bid/received.
